Currently working a remote job that I hate. Management takes micromanagement to a whole new level. They're based in the US so I get paid in Dollar but I also don't have any legal protection.

I've got a side hustle (videography) that I'm trying to build into my main gig.

My previous experience has been in tech (in various roles). Ranging from customer support/content moderation to management. I also have some more technical experience with automation.

My LinkedIn is up-to-date but I don't seem to be getting past the automated systems and to the interview stage

EDIT: My instance (lemdro.id) is having issues with lemmy.world so I don't always see the updates from lemmy.world straight away. It's generally about a 6 hour delay.

EDIT 2: I’ve created another account on Lemmy.World (@[email protected]) so that I can interact here while my instance fixes the federation issue.

I’m onto two recruiters at the moment. One of them got me some work in the past (she generally deals with contract work).

I’ve never really had much luck with getting a job through LinkedIn. It’s updated (spent a bunch time on it while unemployed end of last year) and I’ve got a couple alerts going. I’ll try your tip of applying directly through the company.

I feel like I’m being screwed with the automated application systems.
