tsar4 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 So, according to major employment websites, positions that I've had years of experience in - I'm not a match, or at best, fair. However, things I've never done or have the slightest training for - good match! Like Medical Device Engineer, Fiber Optic Technician, Anesthesiologist (just let Dr. Tsar hit you in the head with this hammer repeatedly), Auto Body Mechanic (I messed with Bondo on my first car, the results were less than impressive), OB/GYN (I don't know nuthin' 'bout birthin' no baby), Nuclear Operations for the Navy (what does this button do?). WTH? I think they need to work on their algorithms. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most the ones I'd be a great fit for have ghosted me. Age thing, I'm sure. Edited February 3, 2021 by tsar4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poof Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 maybe the algorithm is right and youd be a great nuclear operator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobdog Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Auto mechanic takes a good deal of technical / programming experience as well as mechanical experience. You seem to have a fair deal of both. Maybe auto mechanic is something to consider? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to have a fair deal of both. Maybe auto mechanic is something to consider? Well, let's see...besides the Bondo incident, I've used a tennis ball can with the ends cut off to reconnect muffler pipe with 2 u-bolts. I've assisted in doing a brake job (pump the brakes when my friend said to do so). I've repaired the AC compressor on my 79 Camaro by back tracking the wires from the compressor to a connection that was loaded with dirt - cleaning it solved the AC issue. I've jerry-rigged a power amp & portable auto-reverse cassette player into being my car stereo (after someone stole my $200+ in-dash stereo). I've stopped a running engine by pulling the distributor wire (protip - don't do that, it hurts & can kill you), when the keys were locked in the car. Yeah, nobody's gonna hire me as an auto mechanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jury-rigging is what mechanics are all about: assuming you have the part, you still have to make the thing work. More importantly, it's the technological part of new cars that makes you more suited for that kind of work than someone who doesn't have the rudimentary basics of programming.
