Today marks 7 months of unemployment and I am very much down to the wire.

I am a full-stack & backend web developer, fluent in TypeScript, with experience building data-focused applications and both SQLite and Postrges databases.

I’m located in the northeast United States and have experience working and successfully collaborating with small, remote teams.

Boosts are appreciated. 🙏

@ghalldev I don't know if anything listed here is for you, but take a look and if so, let me know and I can tell you how to proceed to at least speak to someone directly and setup a first interview.

@cliffwade Thanks for sharing. I think the closest match for me would be “Senior or Staff Backend Engineer” though I know those sorts of roles usually look for more than 5 years of experience.

Can’t hurt to try though. 🤞

@ghalldev where are you based, Graham?

@ghalldev I’m five months in myself! Boosted and hoping you find something soon!

@ghalldev best of luck with the hunt. It's been a weird time, I'm about the same myself though.

There's some hope that certain companies are reaching a stage where they can't turtle down to uncertainty any more, and will start hiring again soon.

He's not a dumbass, what d'ya know?! (I can't see what this is in response to, so I'm just taking it for what it seems to be.)

Also: coming back to Mastodon, I just can't with a lot of other social media right now.

@ghalldev I was out sick today, but tomorrow I will make it a priority to get you into our internal referrals system, now that I have a better understanding of my own new workplace.

@gregly Thanks so much man.

Feel better soon!

@ghalldev No problem! I was gonna have you email your resume to my work address, but then I realized we’re switching over and I don’t *know* my work email address off the top of my head! 😅

When I start this afternoon, I’ll find it, and DM you the address. Our HR person has told me they’re explicitly looking to hire our two open coding positions from referrals if possible, so hopefully this will work out. 🤞🏻

@gregly I will keep an eye out for that DM. 🙂

Let me know if any of these are suitable and I'll refer you to our hiring person.

@ghalldev If at all interesting to you, political campaigns are hiring for many sorts of positions now.
@ghalldev 3 years here -- boosted your post and hoping you find something 
@ganxel 3 years!? I hope you find something soon as well.
@ghalldev cheers! The safety net in Ireland is relatively forgiving, but... I do miss the industry bigmoneys.

@ghalldev Are you able to share more specifically where you are located? (DM is fine if you prefer not to dox yourself, lol. I'm in Connecticut.)

Not sure about open roles at my company at the moment but I will be happy to take a look.

If you live in NYC or want to move here the MTA (subway, train, bus network) has a variety of job openings including in IT. (but also jobs that do not require a degree) If you have questions about what it’s like, I can ask people who work there. I think it is a pretty good place to work. Not perfect, of course, but you can be proud of your job; pay and benefits are “fine” as such things go.
