Might have to update my CV title to Artisanal Software Developer to distinguish myself from slop pseudo "programmers".

The Nationals have announced they are going to introduce random drug testing for people on Jobseeker.

Bestie, you think I can afford drugs? I can't afford rent, babe.

Autumn has arrived, the leaves colour & fall, and still I quest to find gainful employment as a Software Programmer / Developer with adept understanding of #C (but not C++ that's cruel); also comfortable with #Erlang, #NodeJS, #Java, C#, #SQL, #Forth, #shell scripting, #NetBSD, #FreeBSD, #RockyLinux, and similar POSIX / SUS systems. #Ottawa #Canada

The estimated cost of increasing #JobSeeker to 90% (still below the poverty line) of the aged pension is around 6 billion/yr.

For comparison, the Govt decided to spend $2.5 billion to cut the fuel excise for the first 3 months because "Australians* are hurting with the cost of living"

*Deserving Australians

btw defence spending for 2026-27 will be over $60 billion.

@xexyl @r1w1s1 @ioccc

Did you everIt get a job offer of it Anthony? I think you said no?

Never ever got a job offer based on @ioccc winners' club.

Unclear if it has helped in my current ongoing job search. No one says what they like or dislike in their rejection emails (when you actually get one).

Its disheartening and causes much sadness failing to find work. Three years running! WTF! I'm almost at the point of fast-food joint applications if I'm to maintain rent. There have been repeat bouts of tears. sniff

Today, the Dept of Employment Workplace Relations asked me to give them permission to contact Peter Blount of the Salvation Army so they could respond to this complaint. He’s their employer. I’m not connected to him bar for them forcing me to be. This isn’t resolving anything. #auspol #JobSeeker 😡

I’ve got really long hair and have been out of work for 6 months. I keep thinking I need to get it cut to look more ‘presentable’ to prospective employers, although if they won’t hire me because of my hair, do I really want to work for them? Then again… the money is running out and I don’t want to lose my home.

Once more unto HR desks, dear friends, once more. Or cease the pursuit with our jobless dead.

Again I launch a plea into the Digital Void for employment as a Software Developer. Tilting against those who know not what they seek, yet clinging tightly to the precious offers of employment, as Cerberus before the Gates of Jobs.

How shall I scale those bastions of employ against the machinations of AI minions. Well versed I be in the Arts of #C, #Erlang, #NodeJS, among other arcana and lore.

Change is not coming from the Government, Out of 227 sitting federal MPs and senators, only twelve declared no property ownership.
https://overland.org.au/2026/04/organised-abandonment-and-victorias-big-housing-build/

one-bedroom “affordable housing” properties at $350 per week, is equal or higher than the rate of #Jobseeker itself, which begs the question — affordable for whom? Tying rent not to the tenant’s income but to the brutal private property rental market

https://www.homes.vic.gov.au/big-housing-build

#BigBuild #housingcrisis #landlords #publichousing #rent

Only one property in all of Australia affordable for rent on #JobSeeker. Less than 15% of properties on rental market affordable for a couple on two minimum wages. #YouthAllowance makes renting out of reach. Single people on the #AgedPension, left behind as well. #HousingCrisis #auspol #FederalSOS

Coming up on Beltane festival and still in search of software developer work.

I speak the old tongues of #C, #Forth, #REXX, and #Shell, along with other foreign tongues of #Erlang, #NodeJS, #Go, #Java, #C# and more. I make utterances in #English and #French.

I command in several BSD and Linux dialects. Even wrote successful anti-spam filtering software #BarricadeMX and several #milters.

And can brag about winning the @IOCCC (but don't in polite company).

I seek employment for a worthy cause with remuneration.

Please someone reach out, if only to stop me pestering you fine folks every so often with this plea.

Because I know Anthony Albanese reads my toots:

If you increase centrelink payments, like jobseeker, you'll inject all that extra money straight into the economy.. because no unemployed person is saving—we spend everything we get to try and stay alive.

Increasing jobseeker businesses, my guy. All the cool kids say so.

So Saint Patrick has passed me over. Its clear people looking for jobs see these hashtags threads and share the frustration, but I serious doubt employers are paying attention (though thank you one in YUL for consideration).

I have no clever banter tonight. No witty self promo. No joy. So I'm just going to repeat the basics: I'm a versatile software developer, passionate about creating new software. See my resume

Failing that I've had to start planning ahead for when savings run dry with GoFundMe, which seems wrong when you know you have marketable skills, but no applications get answered. If I find a job before then I'll cancel the GoFundMe (not that has had any interest - horrible at self-promo its seems).

Time to hug puppy and sleep.

#FediHire #GetFediHired #JobSeeker

So Saint Patrick,

Maybe you can help me 🍀 where Saint Nick and Cupid failed. Still chasing job prospects, though one kind soul in YUL inquired, but we weren't a fit.

So maybe St. Paddy you could share some luck of the Irish with me or lead me to a pot of gold field of employers ☘️.

I know a variety of languages like #English, #French, #C, #Erlang, #Forth, #C#, #Java, #NodeJS, and poking at #Go. Have a history (if you ask) of experience that can bedazzle when applied.

So once more I launch yet another letter into the #fediverse seeking work.

On my long #jobseeker journey every week I face a new #bottom. Emails not answered, meeting noshows (despite schedule in calendar tetris apps), being too slow at interview, hiring managers going to holiday in the middle of process that just started.

This is not only #jobmarket issue, but this is #decency issue and inhumane treatment taking away remnants of #dignity.

@Ant8e Welcome to the #jobseeker #club on #fediverse.

Remember to use #fedihire tag if you search of job or hire people.

I built a site where you hire yourself instead of applying for jobs
