This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

applying to jobs i would have been overqualified for 5 years ago because that's all that remains that i haven't applied to and then getting a quick "thanks for applying but we're going to move forward with more qualified candidates"

sweet economy we got going on

Same here... like what the fuck do you mean you've found a more qualified candidate?! Send Mr their goddamn Linkdin or some shkt because I don't believe you.

I've had two years of this now in my field, super fun to deal with especially when I have to do presentations and mock-reports for the interviews too.

I don't know how controversial this will be, but it really should be the opposite way around. Companies or other entities should be going and searching for employees, and they have to beg us to go work for them. It's infuriating the people who actually make stuff have to go around and beg people who own stuff to...work for them?

5-7 years ago that was the case for me. i was getting hit up on linkedin constantly by folks when i wasn't even looking for jobs.

when i finally was looking, it was nothing to do a few simple interviews and have 3 job offers at the same time.

then they jacked up the interest rates and that flipped the script again.
