Jobs are harder to get than I ever thought. Still haven't found a job that I at least want. I even got a scam offer the other day. Who is their right mind would scam someone that has the rub pull from under them. It just wrong in so many ways. They even too the time to use AI on my resume to make the job look appealing. These guys are ruthless. They pray on your need for a job and then charge a large amount to make a bunch of unneeded documents and claim you need them to apply for the job. These people are lower than low. 

Another month without a job. Given my experience and my knowledge you would think I would have plenty of offers. Nada, zip, zero, nothing. Sure I have had a couple interviews, but no real offers. I don't know if it is my age or how I am interviewing. I know my experience is more than many of these guys have been alive, but I am looking to learn new things and to have an income. I don't care if I could be these guy's father. I want to build things that help people with the work they do. If it means getting data or building an application, I am open to the opportunity.

On the job front. I am still coming up short. I had another interview recently, but I think they are looking at someone else. Going to be looking for an alternative as soon I get the rejection letter. I did make some changes to the WhereAreGames site finally. Nothing too major just some quality of life for the army list widget. Had a couple hiccups in the changes, but seems to be stable now. I should have done more, but was on a bit of a time crunch. Still avoiding to working on the back end or even the front end, I need to wait to know what languages I will be working with.

Well I am the closest to getting a job since this whole things started. Had a second interview last week and I felt it went pretty well. I won't find out for sure for a couple weeks, apparently they need to talk to other candidates :-) . So my fingers are crossed. I am hoping to re-look at python and .NET languages a bit more to prepare for any follow up or even if I am accepted. The job seems to be up my ally, as it is kind of what it was liked before the last company purchased the company I was in.

Still looking for a job. Apparently no one is looking at my resume. Even had a meeting with a recruiter that stood me up on the initial meeting. Apparently my resume that my previous companies resume fixer company gave me a dud. Which sucks. So I am attempting to try getting certified in something that I know, to start. To at least show that I can be up to date. I have kind of put the framework exploration on hold. Didn't get much traffic with it so not much a point. Getting a bit discouraged that I will get a programming position.

Still no job. Applied to plenty of them, but not much of a bite. I did get one interview last week, but they decided to go with someone else. On the programming front, I decided to take a detour. Given that most jobs are asking to use Laravel or Symfony I figured I should probably learn something about them. As you might have seen in the feed I did the boot camp with Laravel, which still rubs me the wrong way. I can see the appeal and have no problems working in it, if need be. Just feel it is a bit bloated.
