R.L. Dane :Debian: :OpenBSD: 🍵 (nprofile…kgud) Scott Williams 🐧 (nprofile…p705) I've always been extremely fortunate, as a formerly "gifted child" I have tended to cruise into jobs and connections. Most of it is right place right time. In fact, I'd say all of it.
Yeah I have certain amount of skill, but mostly am relying on reputation and not particularly that special at anything. But the initial job prospects out of school and polytechnic pre-trade course were kinda easy for me 20-odd years ago, and once established as knowing what I know, I've been basically in demand. Hasn't always led to the best pay rate, but I've never been without a job.
Now I see the recruitment folks have to go through and it's ridiculous. I should mention that I'm in a trade and avoided the corporate processes, which no doubt helps.
