The entire software department at work was fired yesterday. I had already quit and today is my last day. While I already have a new position starting next week, the rest of the department is looking. There are QA, frontend ( #angular ), and backend ( #python #Django) engineers, technical writer and software compliance specialists, UI/UX designers, SREs, our manager. If you're #hiring #remote in #Germany or on-site, I'd love to forward contact details. #getfedihired

Anyone hiring a frontend developer in Canada? Circumstances have led me to start looking for my next job sooner than I would have liked.

I excel at working on design systems, cultivating a frontend culture, building with the grain of the web, and creating inclusive user experiences. Reach out if you need help with any of these!

I have deep knowledge of the web fundamentals (HTML/ARIA, CSS, JS) and the frontend ecosystem at large (build tools, frameworks, design tools).

2/2 Why am I looking for work now?

I’ve been full time with globalvoices.org since 2006, but due to a funding crunch, they had to put everyone on half-time, so as a rare treat, I am available for hire!

Thanks in advance!

P.S. Please don't worry about me, I'm fine. Just doing the next right thing for myself while helping Global Voices get to the other side of the funding crisis hitting every global non-profit out there right now.

How I resent this idiotic piece of text, which is put into every damn rejection mail I receive since a year. More than 100 job applications sent out and no damn job afterwards. For fucks sake I was a senior #developer, a master of #ruby who did the last two years at the job #elixir and guess what did all the other #web backend related bullshit. Like administering #postgresql doing the schema, designing the whole architecture of a legacy backend system written in ruby, writing backends, frontends with #javascript and guess what nothing.

I maintained so called #microservices on #linux with fucking #docker which ran on #openshift or in the pedestrian terms "#kubernetes". Nothing!

I started into being a #software #developer through the damn #hacker scene and was a "founding member" (whatever that means) of a #hackerspace out of which I was kicked out and still suffering the emotional scars. But yeah, fuck that I see. And probably I'm at fault 100% because that's what this shitty #shame based society wants to tell everybody.

In my free-time I dabbled with #lisp #smalltalk and #cpp and #clang and #perl and I wrote #python a little for money too and for extending a little #django app at a hackerspace. Yeah, sure this is also worth nothing.

I tried to do #freelancing for 6 months, but guess what the current project market in #europe is shit and therefore nothing on the table for me either. While I find thousands of dimwits on reddits and everywhere, who are telling me that "I'm not an entrepreneur" or that "I deserve X", because they simply don't like what I write or my face.

Yeah sure, I'm 39 and I have no idea to go to, no damn #community and for fucks sake seem to be now going to join team long-term unemployed... because... yeah absolutely no damn fucking idea why I'm in this mess. What I'm supposed to do and obviously nobody fucking cares anyway.

I once dreamed of being "my own man", being that independent developer, coding happy #foss projects and contributing to #opensource and getting paid for that. But no. World says no to that. World says "go and die".

I super appreciate those who have donated to help Cat🐈‍⬛🛰️ @catbailey and family.

Cat tremendously appreciates it, too.

That takes care of the day but what about the days after…

The stress and worry and uncertainty remain and will until someone hires Cat.

Please hire Cat!

hollybecker.netHolly Becker's Resumé

My name is Rose LaCroix. I am a published author from the USA currently in Cologne Germany. If you have work for a native English speaker anywhere in the EU, I am available immediately.

I would be excellent as a proofreader for manuscripts, articles, or academic papers in English.

I could also proofread legal documents, assist English teachers, and much more.

I have a BA in social science from Portland State University and a German certificate of equivalency.

It's the first of the month, so let's try to #getfedihired !

My name is Desiree, I'm located a bit outside the north end of Seattle, Washington, and I am a professional copy editor and proofreader with ten years of experience. While the core of that time was spent as the editor of a company's catalog and web publications, I also have experience editing textbooks, fantasy and science fiction novels, essays, short stories, and even professional correspondence. Software-wise, I'm experienced with Lago, Word, and Google Docs for collaborative editing; I'm also quite good with computers, and am able to pick up new software as needed pretty quickly.

While something full-time is preferred, I'm open to freelance work as well (rates negotiable!). I'm perfectly okay with both in-office and work-from-home environments, as needed.

If you're interested, please shoot me a DM! Resume, references, and all the other assorted "please hire me"-documents are available on request.
