Tito SwinefluHi, I'm a computer programmer who is too old to hire in the US. Looking for any jobs in non-fascist countries. I can do all sorts of wackadoodle things with computers and am also quite stylish.
El Duvelle@tito_swineflu you might want to give a bit more details about what you can actually do?... And good luck!
@elduvelle Oh, I've found that makes no difference in the outcome. I've been looking for work for 4 years, so the odds aren't greatly improved by a list of things I've done in the past.
Thanks!
Thanks!
@jackgangi@masto.hackers.town@tito_swineflu @elduvelle I have friends our age who are in the same situation. One of the things recommended was get the term computer programmer out of your head and use the term coder. Not sure if it makes a difference but apparently it's like two spaces after a period.
@jackgangi @elduvelle That doesn't stop people from actually seeing me in the interview. The look of terror on some 28-yo engineering manager's face when I show up for an interview would be comical if I didn't actually need work.
