Dude, I'm sorry to hear how rough it's been for you. I'd like to echo what many have said about posting samples of your work, and spelling out in more detail your particular skill sets as well as explaining what you have been doing with your time. That said, I'm afraid we're not hiring yet, however -- and no, this is not a shameless plug, but a genuine offer to help -- I can offer you this: I think you would benefit tremendously from our new startup. The way that we match Opportunity Seekers (such as job seekers, like yourself) with Opportunity Providers (such as employers) should greatly assist someone in your position -- i.e., talent without experience -- to find a new job or even co-founders to build your own company. We're still prepping the beta (having some typical last minute issues) but you should definitely sign up and give it a shot: venturocket.com. And as defensive as it may seem to do so, I would like to preemptively state that I'm not trying to take advantage of your seemingly dismal situation, but genuinely trying to help you get connected with something. That my desire to help you will of course benefit our startup -- and therefore me -- should not, on its own, in any way invalidate the sincerity of my claim. After all, if it weren't for my desire to create a more efficient way to connect people with opportunities, I would never be doing my startup in the first place. Besides, I do believe a certain Mr. Smith once pointed out that "[i]t is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." Best of luck either way. |
