tiny Poshmark rant - and now general state of jorbsearch rant lol can't keep it contained sorry y'all
DryadGurrl
not me bursting into tears when I see that the amount I will receive should an item sell at the offer I've proposed (10% off + free shipping) is a little over two dollars
🎃waffle🎃
DryadGurrl
the fees on Poshmark are downright predatory, but I don't have any other recourse except attempting a yard sale and I know I won't get close to what anything is worth if I do that
DryadGurrl
fees on ko-fi are slightly better, but joke's on me, I can only sell things that I've made/designed personally on there, which is also fucked up
DryadGurrl
and the number of scam accounts asking for me to send pictures to off-site email or even phone numbers is ridiculous, like, at least one listing out of every batch I put up gets one, and I go back a week later and their comments are gone
DryadGurrl
so my response of 'I don't provide off-site contact for safety & security reasons' makes me look unhinged
DryadGurrl
at this rate I'm going to have to put up another GFM just for monthly expenses, because lol, plans on getting a job before the end of the year are destroyed at this point
DryadGurrl
(yes I know the statistics and the averages I'm not looking for advice unless your advice is 'pls send me your resume I can get you a job by next week')
DryadGurrl
I'm either overqualified due to amount of experience, or underqualified due to not having a degree or a driver's license, and why a WFH position needs a driver's license and a clean driving record is beyond me
DryadGurrl
I've already dropped subscriptions for all the things that bring me joy, and I'm pretty sure that's going to kill me before the potential starvation does
🎃waffle🎃
I would be happy to share my Dropout subscription with you
DryadGurrl
there is literally no more I can reduce my budget short of just not paying my dental bill (and the fact that it's so expensive to have a busted tooth removed is also criminal)
DryadGurrl
I mean, being fair I say I'm going to watch things and then don't, so it's not really any big loss as far as the viewing subscriptions go
DryadGurrl
but things like the bath bomb and the subeta perks, those I actually use
DryadGurrl
it's coming up on a year since I lost my job, after months of 'look how much we're growing, look how great we're doing' the layoff was the excuse of: "Well as you all know we've been struggling" and like HOW THE FUCK WOULD WE HAVE KNOWN THAT???
DryadGurrl
it was a rug-pull, and almost a year later I'm still not over it
DryadGurrl
ESPECIALLY when so many job postings say bullshit like 'no job hoppers' and 'must have stable employment history' when the last three jobs I've had all let me go for equally bullshit reasons
DryadGurrl
so I look like a 'job hopper' (also bullshit) through no fault of my own
DryadGurrl
WHY DOES YOUR FUCKING TYPING POOL REQUIRE A BACHELOR'S DEGREE???
DryadGurrl
I'm literally going to be copying and pasting things from forms into excel sheets and back again, there's no reason I need a BA in Business to do that
🎃waffle🎃
yeah that's fucking dumb
DryadGurrl
people providing jobs are still stuck in the early 90s and people looking for jobs get screwed
DryadGurrl
(except lol like three people I know who have been looking for a fraction of the time that I have already have jobs and I'm really trying not to be resentful about that)
🎃waffle🎃
is there any way you can get like... idk, a community college associates degree? or something? I don't know what the CA community college situation is but there could be some free classes you could take to pad things a bit more
DryadGurrl
(but that's hard too)
DryadGurrl
the thing is I would have to spend too much just getting there, regardless of the cost of the classes themselves
🎃waffle🎃
they don't have online options?
DryadGurrl
and I'm just bad at school work, I don't test well and I don't learn that way
🎃waffle🎃
ah, I gotcha
DryadGurrl
structured learning is My Enemy™
DryadGurrl
and it's also the time, if I don't have a job already while I'm trying to do that I'm double-fucked
DryadGurrl
anyway I'm going to go bang my head against the wall of trying to find job listings that aren't '''product testing''' or '''survey taking''' scams disguised as data entry
DryadGurrl
I've also already exhausted my 'it's bullshit that unemployment only lasts 6 months and not until someone's employed again' rant, but god it's still right there

I have like 40 buddy GAs on Subeta that I keep meaning to give away and then never do if you want to keep the GA benefits. I know it won't help with stuff like CSC and the CW vouchers but if you want 'em I can send you one every month
DryadGurrl
🍂 Copper
: ... I might actually take you up on that
DryadGurrl
mostly I have the scrip for the monthly item (and I use the CW vouchers at the end of the year to get people's Lumi presents)
🍂 Copper
Sure, just let me know. They are literally just collecting dust because I'm too lazy to make a giveaway post in the forums.

And I can't remember if you play Dreamlight Valley on PC or Switch but if it is the latter and you need/want a Nintendo Online account feel free to hit me up for that as well. I have a family plan because it was cheaper than paying individual subs for both of my Switches so I have like five open slots on the plan.
DryadGurrl
I'm PC sadly
DryadGurrl
(part of why I'm sadface emoji about the visiting option, because I don't think it's cross-platform and everyone I know has it on console)
DryadGurrl
An actual email I just received
DryadGurrl
I have never worked in a finance position, and I have never held a supervisory position, so I don't know what experience they're talking about
