I’m sure this must sound stupid for many, but I never get any responses, until like 3 days later when I check my spam folder and realize my scheduled interview appointment came from some random server that got deleted as spam mail.

How the hell do people get jobs online? I’ve only ever landed a job in person.

    I’d love to get back into fixing vintage electronics, but I don’t really know anyone that’s interested in buying anything more than 3 days old.

    The only people I do know into vintage electronics are more or less anonymous friends that have a garage or storage shed full of the shit and not interested in any more.

    Fuck, I found a totally working buisness class video projector that had an original MSRP of almost $16,000, yet I couldn’t sell it to anyone for even a mere $50, they apparently have a policy around here to refuse video projectors, working or not.

        Dunno how to sell things online.

        I haven’t had a bank account in almost a decade.

        Why? Because my bank fucked me over and refused to accept my tax return payment. I’ve literally never been able to get a direct deposit, something always went screwy, and even the bank manager couldn’t explain why that was.

        So I closed my bank account and have been cash only for the past 10 years.

        I’ve actually worked for 4 banks before and never had any problem with them cutting me an actual physical check, but God forbid they actually allow a direct deposit…

        Like seriously WTF?

          Sorry, can’t help you there, you need a bank account for ebay. I would check your credit report and make sure it’s not fucked up. Employers check that too, could be why you keep getting passed up. There’s always fb marketplace and craigslist.

            I wouldn’t even know how to check my credit report, I’ve never had a credit card or anything like that.

            The last time anyone ever tried to help me check whatever my credit report was, it was my ex (and now deceased) girlfriend, and all that led to was more spam mail.
