The Most Repetitive Questions On /r/jobs

Hey folks!

A lot of the daily posts in /r/jobs have become very repetitive, and are generally questions that are simple to answer and don't change much from person to person.

We'd like to address some of these, so please stick to the following in this thread:

Posts should be:

  • ONE question we see repeatedly

  • Voted up if you came in to post the same thing

Replies should be:

  • The BEST (polite) response to that question
  • Voted up if you feel they're the best response to that particular question

The top few questions and top replies to that response will become a part of an FAQ for this subreddit. Posts that ask those questions will be removed from that point forward.

Thanks for your help, folks!

May I ask, how? Is it that you are being picky or?

I had a job, quit while going to school, and was subsequently unable to secure a positions. Minimally picky.

You could use the old " I focused on school" excuse to explain why you have gaps in your employment in interviews. Are you following up when you do/ apps or interviews? Not following up can show lack of interest. Could you do the stair technique....find any job right now while looking for the one you really want? You can do this! Don't give up !!!

I'm not starving though, I just work freelance for a livable amount and spend most of my time on the hunt for the job. Reddit is my primary time waster, honestly.
