I give up.
I'm officially desperate.
If you need a security person you can get me at bargain basement cost because I'm gonna be super fucked here in a bit if I don't find SOMETHING.
I've been out of work 8 months.
I can't afford to keep going.

This is my resume
You tell me how I don't have a job yet

@hackerhorse

My advice is take 'Facebook' off your resume. ✌️

@hackerhorse Okta is an organization that values diversity and is a remote work company. We have a handful of security and privacy positions including one senior manager position opened for the US. Take look at https://www.okta.com/company/careers/ The privacy position is listed in the engineering section.

I’m happy to generate a referral link for any position you want to apply for.

@sonoranwanderer honestly I'd love to work for Okta, if only for the chance to annoy Marc during working hours
Doesn't seem like my skills fit the bill for the privacy role, bit dev heavy for what I do ( my programming knowledge hasn't been really up to date since 1999) but I'll take a look at other openings for sure
@hackerhorse provide a PDF of your resume, and I'll happily get it in the system at my job
@stephenjudkins can do, dm mé an email address

@hackerhorse You've probably already looked into this resource but, JIC: https://www.builtincolorado.com

@hackerhorse

greed.

That's how you don't have a job yet.

Don't go expecting humans to be reasonable.

@hackerhorse https://www.uvmjobs.com/postings/62322

It's more of a political/policy job than an engineering one and I'm sure you'd not be paid what you're worth (hello, higher education), but this job has been open a long while so maybe you could state some terms that would suit you. 🤷
