A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

It's all about networking. This is the answer.
Depends on the field, but one common factor is I always make a point to go in when it isn't busy and speak with the manager. I have been told many times after being hired that was specifically what set me apart.
I just have to guess that you're a million years old
Hah, I can see why but not quite. I'm a millennial (sigh). Sometimes the old ways still work best, though I'll admit my approach wouldn't work in a corporate environment. I come from a history in Restaurants and Sales.
I go to my hometown's Discord server and ask if anyone needs any position filled.
Your hometown’s got a Discord server ? That’s nice
Don’t most towns/cities? All it takes is a willing maker.
