Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

I am in this hell. Recent software engineering graduate, and i haven't gotten any bites for a long while. I've got no idea what to do besides work on my personal projects in hopes that it catches the interest of some unicorn out there that will actually read my info.
If you've got a degree, your institution's job boards are lightyears better than Indeed. Keep working on the personal projects though, they help once you have an interview.
^.^If you haven't already, make a condensed version of your CV in point form. Literally one page, no more. Clear headings (education, experience, skills) with a few key bullets (3-4 max) per heading.
Remember, this terrible situation is due in part to the fact that services like Indeed make employers think they shouldn't have to invest in hiring at all, so they don't . They're lazy, so your approach has to adapt to that .
Hang in there, I've been where you are. You'll get through it.
Very respectable
Hey, maybe start out by looking for bits instead. Sorry, I'm ashamed of my own joke, but it demands to be let free.
