Alice 🔥 End Of An EraJan 1, 2023

It's the beginning of 2023 and I'm absolutely determined to get a job. Please help me with this however you can! I'm doing what I can on my end, but recommendations/referrals do help a lot and I'm really trying to make a big push to snag *something* since we really need it over here. (found family of four in a two bedroom apartment)  

- Comp sci degree
- 1.5 years as a software test engineer
- Python and NodeJS are my relevant languages, but I'm a fast learner and know a few others as well
- Same field, web dev, or sysadmin stuff is right up my alley
- Looking for remote, but can commute (Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN, USA)
- I'm a trans woman, so clear acceptance/queer coworkers are a huge plus

Entry level would be best, I don't have enough work experience for most places to look at me mid-level. DM for a resume or any questions, take a look at my site for some examples of things I do!

@werefox Check with your college alumni association for any career supports (networking events, job fairs, resume writing, etc). Your local Workforce Development Center can be a good resource, too. I second looking at major insurance companies for tech jobs. Also consider hotel chains and banks (many are more LGBTQ+ friendly than in the past). Wishing you all best!

@SuprmomcatCathy thank you, I'll try taking a look there. Unfortunately for me my alma mater is in Texas, quite a plane ride away, and I have doubts they'd be very receptive to me these days. (I will do it, but I still have yet to confirm whether they actually even changed my name in their records) That's not a bad suggestion, though, otherwise. I know they do host regular job and career fairs and they're typically one of the bigger ones around.

@werefox You’re very welcome! They may offer some remote services/events? Or if they’re big enough have events in other states? And it sucks to have to double check they updated your records. Good luck!
