I have a degree that would put me at Helpdesk Level II if I could find a fucking job.
I literally don’t know how to find remote jobs, so I continue to just find and work shitty blue-collar jobs in my city.
I have CML and it would be really nice to have a job that sort of helped me get my medical problems in order. It’s either that or being a deadbeat who works part-time just so I can qualify for the ACA and get my $16k a month medications covered.
I have other health problems beyond the CML that would make my life a lot easier if I didn’t have to be on my feet all day. I really struggle with it and have to take anti-nausea meds all day and pain meds all day to manage it, whereas I don’t need those anywhere near as much if I’m in a chair.
So the first order of business, Lemmy, is how the hell do I even look for a remote job to begin with?
I’ll probably come back for more questions about how to actually get a job like that because I feel like I don’t know wtf I’m doing when it comes to resumes/cover letters either (part of it is I don’t want to write fan-fiction about some shitty job that will mistreat me).
I don’t know how this works for help desk level jobs, but I do know that big tech companies generally avoid the massive job sites and recruiters. They also frequently have at home advisors. Have you tried hitting up the individual company sites?
No I haven’t. The other advice here is good, but this is slightly different than the rest. I’ll give this a shot as well, thank you.
