Suits.py: Or How I Came to "Love" Writing Resumes

Suits.py Or How I came to "Love" Writing Resumes     One piece of advice I have received over and over in my journey to finally get an interview over these past few years has been: "Have you tailored your resume for the job?" or "You just have to tailor your resume" or some other fashion of "tailor." And honestly I am of sick of it!     I have applied for over a thousand plus jobs in the span of 8 years, and I think I'm shrinking that number. Normally, I tend to keep notes, trackers, but ever since I switched to Linux a lot of my old notes have disappeared (always backup kids!). And it is frustrating just trying to get an interview, to the point that I have only had 4 interviews in total (legitimate interviews, not counting MLM's that just try to scam those looking for work). It's to the point that if I see an email from one of the companies I applied to I already know it's the same "Thank you, but we'll be going with a c...

Start of Week - Update 009

 Start of Week - Update 009 By A.A. Lopez     Let's see, it's been... 2 weeks since the last update. Not bad for me; usually, the break is 3. But let's see where we're at, what we're trying to do, and if there's anything upcoming for this week.     Honestly, I've put a lot of my projects off to the side for the past week or so due to the RTO order that came in a few weeks ago, along with layoffs looming overhead. So I've just been letting myself have the time to breathe and have room. Though I am keeping up with streaming every Friday at 7 PM, with different ideas for each stream. Last week's was focused on creating vector art with a real-life photo; it came out incredibly creepy, so I deleted it after the stream.     But I am feeling the need to get back to at least trying to focus on my creative projects again. I can't let these things just go to the wayside. I want to do them all, I just really need to find a way to organize myself better. At ...

End of Week Update - 008

End of Week Update - 008 By A.A.Lopez     You know, I tend to start each of these EoW updates with "Oh, I'm so tired," or "That was a long week." Just things to those effects, but seriously, I feel like this past week was much too much. Not going to get too much into it cause a lot of it deals with NDA stuff, but gods, I need a way off the rollercoaster.     But let's not focus too much on the week and focus on the accomplishments that happened!     Biggest thing, had my first stream this past Friday, as well as a second one on Saturday. You can see that it resulted in two art pieces, "pieces", they were sketches, and the stream got away from me a bit. Yet, I think I learned a lot from my time doing it. From how to use OBS to trying to be a good host. Was I excellent? No. Did I have a lot of viewers? No. Was it fun and worth leaning into and learning? Yes. So I think I will continue on this path for just a bit longer.     Of course, I should also ...
