No college degree. Massive gap in my resume (years). FUCKING TRANSGENDER. Fucking beginning of my transition, I look awful, I sound awful, and I have no actual reason for someone to hire me. My CIS friends with NO GAPS, STUDYING are getting turned down for retail jobs. Jobs at car washes. WHAT FUCKING HOPE DO I HAVE?? And I’m moving so I have to quit at my current job. I’ll have good references, my previous employers have all loved me, and I technically have a bit of a nicer position for my resume now but still. I’m fucking cooked. And I desperately need a job bc no SO and I need to move out. Parents are going to be unbearable when I have to come out.
Depends on where you’re moving to really. If you have relevant experience and good references, just keep applying until you can get into interviews. There’s still a ton of remote work available for CS and CIS positions if that’s what you’re looking for.
If the company seems to be very pro AI, just slap a bunch of GPT glazing in your cover letter.
