I don’t know man, I just like how complex everything is and how people can dislike some cubitos because they’re following the villain POV and so they get surrounded by misinformation about the person they hate (q!Ashswag because literally every villain wants him) and how you can have people be less involved and it makes sense. Of course the Dutch don’t do much, they don’t really have stakes in anything. In Q1, you couldn’t just not fight the Feds, your kids were on the line.

And even with the cubitos who are in the lore, they get all twisted around in what’s happening that they get the wrong idea about everything because in a sea of liars, they don’t know who to trust (q!Katie). I just love seeing characters who so obviously can’t let themselves be in the wrong so they blame others and try everything to make it look like it wasn’t their fault. Mmm yes, Multi, tell me more about how Juans death is actually Ashswags fault, you know the guy trying to save Juan from you and who comforted Juan until the end, mmmm how fascinating. Oh yes Aldo, there was no other way because Juan wasn’t listening to you, so you obviously had to kill him, I see everything makes sense now.

It’s so good, although we could tone down the griefing. And we can still have fun events! We can be silly and ignore lore, unless you’re Ashswag, then you get hit with the “We need to talk…” as soon as you log in. Seriously, what the fuck does Ash having cooking up, he is in almost every fucking lore at this point. Actually, he might be in every lore. Holy fuck, he actually is, no way poor guy… bro cannot catch a break. He just keeps getting dragged into things without his knowledge because either Ewron uses we/us pronouns again, or the newest villain just has it out for him now? I guess?

There’s all the lore about radiation and chips, the North, Ewron’s shenanigans which are entity and paranormal lore, Federation lore, Dark Cucurucho now, he’s linked with multiple Q1 cubitos who tell him things e.g. Maximus and Fit, he has his own fucking lore, he also gets linked with Katie lore, also all of the other Regime members.

I feel so bad for q!Ashswag no wonder he’s canonically suicidal and self-harms, bro that’s a pretty reasonable response to all this nonsense he’s stuck in. Remember that half of the list is Ewron, he didn’t even know about Dark Cucurucho. Also, whatever is up with his heart, which he doesn’t give two shits about mind you. He’s been in so much BS that being handed his own heart didn’t cause much of a reaction. Also, Ewron wants him to help him take Nacho to Dark Cucurucho now, because of course he does. When my cubito streams, we have to beg him to find that fucking unicorn and dinosaur daughters we wanted, but nooooooo he just has to talk to Ewron now, and they might have a dinosaur child? And Ghosty is now also Ewrons child, to the point where she’s above Grzegorz in the wiki bro look:

Multi killed his own worker, Ash tried to kill himself. I know Ash was so fucking happy watching Multi crash out, because how does it feel? How does it feel to be weak, to have not been good enough.

Also, Ash immediately forgiving Ewron as soon as Ghosty died because he recognised that it wasn’t his fault, meanwhile Multi was screaming at Katie for ages while she was trying to explain.

Fuck, Multi and Ash are almost the same person, but Ash is just further along. Ash has learnt the consequences of perfection, and the consequences of ego and believing yourself higher than others. Multi hasn’t learnt yet, and sooner or later he will.

It’s the same with Ash and Aldo, I’m starting to think that they both hate him because unconsciously they see themselves in him, and wonder what the difference is. In the small part of themselves that do hold themselves accountable for their actions, they wonder how Ash can admit his faults so easily.

I wonder what will happen to Multi when a cure is made, and everyone is better. When Ewron doesn’t have to suck up to him, when Graf and Heiper are free from him. Who will Multi have? Nacho, obviously, but is that all?

And in Purgatory 3, will Nacho be there? Will Multi be forced into a team of people who will hate him, against enemies who hate him, without Nacho or his bunker to keep him comforted? Because he will be alone in Purgatory, at for Purgatory to happen fairly, everyone will be cured and un-chipped.

Great get online and go to a job board. Indeed, Linkedin whatever. Now you're gonna search for a role that's in your city, fits your qualifications, and doesn't seem like a bad time.

See that easy apply button? Don't hit it they just throw those in the trash. Now you're gonna want to go to the company's website and check their careers page.

Oh? That job doesn't exist anymore. Cool go back to the job board and find another one.

Great you found another job, you're on the company's career page and the job exists!! So you're going to need to make an account on the career page website. They're using Workday, the same site as the last job you applied for? Who cares? You need to make another account for THIS job's workday page.

Now you're going to upload your resume. That'll autopopulate about 15 boxes with everything on your resume, except formatted wrong and with tons of errors. So just go through and painstakingly check the dates on all of that and rewrite everything you already laid out in an aesthetically pleasing format on your resume.

Ok time for the cover letter, explain why this specific job and company are deeply important to you. You love their mission statement and wouldn't even laugh if their ceo was gunned down in the street. You'll really want to reiterate the things you just spent the last 20 minutes filling out on the resume section

(Remember to include language from the job description, people who work in HR are lower than dogs and they need patterns or they get confused.) Write about a page, but hey don't sound too desperate or robotic this is where they judge your character!

Maybe add your portfolio site at the end here, who knows if that helps no one has ever clicked mine haha.

Anywayyy time to hit apply! Congrats! You'll see that confirmation email come in and you should be getting the rejection letter in about 2 weeks. Unfortunately your resume didn't have the right buzzwords and the AI auto rejected you :(

Listen very closely

The above is exactly why half of my friends come to me, and cry they're suffering, and I get to bestow my job hunting knowledge on them. I love this shit, it's a game.

For credentials my fastest job hunting time has been 1 week. I searched for 1 week, got an interview, and was hired within a week. My slowest was 1 month, while out of work, while telling ALL my interviewers that I quit my work without notice (I was testing my interviewers to see how shocked they'd get when I'd tell them why, anyone who wasn't shocked I would tell them at the end that I will keep them in mind (not)). My entire average is 2-3 weeks.

Firstly, what you're gunna do is pick a job sector. You're gunna pick a few of these by the end, but for now pick one. Maybe you wanna do bookkeeping, maybe you wanna do something in doggy daycare. Maybe you're a sous chef. Idk! Figure out what abouts you want first. Do not apply to anything yet. You're gunna look at the job description, I've picked out a few for bookkeepers below.

Now what you're gunna do is you're gunna look for "buzz words", or rather words that are gunna appear commonly and indicate the tone for that job. I've highlighted some, but not all in my examples below

Just look at that snout at how similar those descriptions are!

Now that you've got your buzzwords, you're gunna slap those babies into your resume! You see, since your resume is usually read by a computer first, you're gunna trick the computer into giving it to a person. Really what the computer is scanning for is how similar your resume is to the job description. Remember your bullet points, and to keep it short, try to only have 3 to 5 bullet points per job:

- Processed over 500 invoices a day in an efficient and accurate manner

- Curated reports for management review by utilizing available data

- Monitored and recorded over 100 submissions each day increasing accuracy by 50%

These are some great, made up examples I pulled from those buzz words. You might notice I added some numbers into there. That's something you'll wanna try and note for yourself, how much of something you can do, how accurate, how much efficiency you increased, these look GREAT when your resume gets past the computer and is moved in front of a real person.

Now you have your sector-based resume with lots of buzzwords. This is great! Now for the easy part. You're gunna channel your inner "IDGAF" And you're gunna send that to every listing you like on indeed. Filter for "Apply on Indeed" and spam that shit. Sometimes you gotta answer a few extra questions, but if they give me more than 5 quick questions I trash the submission and move on.

Don't waste your time jumping through hoops, streamline it for yourself and use the same methods companies are using. Push MASSIVE amounts of average quality resumes out. The more opportunities taken = the greater the chance of success. For every opportunity taken you've now pitched a chance of success, for every resume you cannot submit because you're piddling around on their stupid website or answering 50 interview questions online, you send out a 0% chance of success.

So go, try this, and see how it works for you.

Some additional things to consider:

- Add random shit in your resume, I added my "Board Game Club" (BDSM group) into my resume for hobbies and discussed how I got my start using sparklines there

- Never underestimate the flair of a little Clipart fleur-de-lis or something on your resume. Never put colored Clipart, but a little floral or swirl design located somewhere nice makes it stand out

- if you don't have a degree that doesn't mean they won't pick you, twice now I've come to a job without a bachelors and being honest that I was only getting an associates before I think of my next steps

- Embellish, do not lie. Jargoning your job description to make it sound cool and professional is GREAT. Do not give me a resume saying you can use CNC machinery when you've only used a 3D printer. Just tell me you know how to program and manage a 3d printer and want to learn CNC machinery.

- Keep. Your. Resume. To. Two. Or. Less. Pages. You don't need EVERY job, only the relevant ones, if your interviewer asks about the gap, tell them what job you had during that time (or if you wanna lie say you were taking college courses and were on a break, you dont need a degree to say you took courses) and that you only wanted to showcase the most relevant ones

Look at the job description.

Identify what they want examples of like "ability to multitask" or "can work across teams to achieve success" or "can work on a budget".

Pick three.

Write this:

IF YOU CAN FIND THE NAME OF A HIRING PERSON: Dear [Name]

IF YOU CAN'T FIND THE NAME OF A HIRING PERSON: Fuck the usual salutation and just roll directly into "I was very excited when I saw this job application. I feel I am a great fit for this role."

Now, look at the three things you chose from their list of what they want. Write a paragraph like this.

I am an adept multitakser who routinely handles several projects/deadlines/needs (whatever). In my current position I [multitask example]. In my previous work, I [second example].

SECOND PARAGRAPH SAME AS THE FIRST DIFFERENT THING THEY WANT BUT NOT ANY WORSE:

In my current position, I work with multiple teams daily, including [name any team you have waved hello to in the hall] and through my work we have [list an accomplishment that required multiple teams].

THIRD PARAGRAPH HERE WE GO AGAIN:

Staying in budget is something I am very familiar with. When I worked on [team], my contributions [list] not only brought the project in on time but under budget by [number]. I have also brought in other projects under budget [examples].

AND NOW THE FINALE:

Thank you for your time in reviewing my cover letter and resume. I look forward to discussing my qualifications and interest in the role with you at length. I can reached at [phone number] and [email].

Sincerely,

[NAME]

And remember, any question that is looking for a negative story ("Tell me about a time you had a conflict with a co-worker") should ALWAYS be presented by you as "I do have a story for that, and I'm pleased with how I handled it." and then you focus on the all the positives in that situation. So, state what the problem was, and then how you fixed it, and then how fixing it improved your working experience. For example:

"Well, I worked with a man named Bob, and he never answered any emails he got after 3:00 PM, so if I had a question after 3, I'd start a draft email and just add to it if i had further questions. And then I'd schedule it to send at the top of his workday. He started earlier than me, and I'd usually come in to a reply from him with the answers I needed when I first sat down for the day. I actually had another co-worker who was having trouble getting Bob to answer questions, and I said, "Oh, are you sending them after 3?" and when she said yes, I shared my own process so it was easier for her to get information, too."
