There's literally no shame in this. Jobs are just value exchange. Job applications are a proposal, to say, here's what I can offer you. If you're very honest about that, and about what you're looking for in return, they can make more informed decisions. Everyone's life is vastly different, there's no shame in declaring what you have to offer (edit: and what you're looking for). Everyone is better at some things and worse at others. This is the basis of the economy.
- CharlieDigital 2y ago> There's literally no shame in this. Jobs are just value exchange. Came to say exactly this: some teams actually do just need someone to pick up some slack for a bit to ship some big project but don't have a long term role. Consulting companies are pure crapshoot since you can't typically pick your exact technical resource. Pure value exchange. This should be more common.
- menaerus 2y agoThat's a very simple and non-biased model view. In reality, many people might read your job ad as "so, your profile claims you have the skills but how come then that you don't have a job already?" aka "there's something wrong with this guy".
