It has been circumstance. When you work for small companies there are sometimes problems. At the BP subcontractor there was the OPEC collusion that year. I saw an entire floor of Westlake campus get fired. I was a contractor, and I started to get questions about my bill-ability. My next position saw a very large bill come in one day, from a bad rev of an older board. We had a party when I got laid off. My next job I was the last person remaining in the office during corona. All the other workers were in Turkey. I was severely underpaid. The boss harassed me and threatened me, forcing me to work overnight multiple days in a row, and the weekend. I did leave that job, and rightly so. He continued calling me for many days for over a month.
The last 2 positions I had were for crypto companies. Those companies no longer exist.
I am 29 years old. My career started really in 2016 or so. Stable corporate America simply hasn't existed for me. I could not have kept my jobs even if I wanted to.
- FreakLegion 3y agoThe explanation doesn't really matter at this point. Recruiters will filter you out at bigger companies, and smaller companies can't afford to take the risk. But sooner or later you'll get some chances, and I'm advising that you optimize for longevity when those chances come. To get out of this hole you need to stay put for at least two years, ideally longer. All the other advice about how to represent yourself is good and will help you find that next role. My advice is for after you get it.
- wegfawefgawefg 3y agoI think I was getting filtered out before regardless. Probably by machine.
