How to Get a Job

1. Why You Can’t Get a Job

Education is a valuable asset, but in the job market, it is often insufficient without experience and proven work ethic. Employers want to see that you can perform in real-world scenarios, and education alone does not guarantee that. Ideally, having a military background can be instrumental in securing a decent-paying entry-level position. Proven leadership skills, particularly for those who have served as an officer or achieved an enlisted rank of E4 and above, are highly sought after by employers. If you’re young and healthy with no Job experience, join the Military. 4 years can change your life. It doesn’t have to be a combat job. There are plenty of support jobs in the military.

2. No One Cares About Resumes

While resumes are still part of the hiring process, they are no longer the primary focus. Employers are more interested in tangible evidence of your skills and experience. For example, software engineers should maintain a portfolio of real-world scripts or projects, such as those hosted on platforms like GitHub. In my case, I showcase my work on GitHub. For professionals in fields like medicine or business, writing a blog that shares ideas and experiences can help demonstrate expertise and passion. Get a good hosting company like Tier.Net, get a domain with your name on it, install WordPress and start Blogging. Showcase your work on your personal website and social media.

3. Make a Name for Yourself

In today’s digital age, having an online presence is critical. Be searchable on Google for contributions you have made in your field. Social media can also be a powerful tool for showcasing your skills, especially in creative professions like cooking, design, or art. For example, creating videos of yourself working or demonstrating your expertise can capture the attention of potential employers.

4. Don’t Jump From One Job to Another

Stability and commitment are qualities employers value highly. Frequently switching jobs can raise red flags and make you seem unreliable. It’s important to show dedication and growth within your roles to build credibility and trust with future employers.

5. No One Cares About Social Justice Warriors or Politics

Your political or social justice views are personal and should remain separate from your professional life. Including these in your resume or bringing them into the workplace can alienate potential employers. Focus on your professional skills and achievements instead. In fact, most companies that I have worked for, immediately shred resumes with: 1.) LGTBQ+ / Trans 2.) Feminist 3.) BLM – Agendas.

Without the elements discussed above—real work experience, demonstrable skills, a professional online presence, stability in your career history, and a focus on relevant professional qualities—most companies are likely to overlook your resume. Unless you have worked for a reputable company or have a strong referral, it can be challenging to stand out. Focus on building your expertise and credibility to improve your chances of landing the job you want.
