The best way to find out: just start. You’ll improve along the way. Questions like this (and anxiety) are best fixed by action.

I mean, I am. How else would I know nobody wants to interview me? :)

[baxtr]

Fair enough :) wasn’t clear to me from your first comment. It’s definitely pretty tough out there right now.

[lazyasciiart]

It was completely clear from the first comment, which is why yours was so clearly unhelpful.

[baxtr]

Yes absolutely. It’s even scientifically proven to be helpful advice.

Look up the work by Seligman et al. on resilience.

When someone says “no one will interview me” this is a pretty unhelpful response.

[baxtr]

My response is probably controversial. But I genuinely think it’s generally helpful advice. Ofc I don’t have any other information than the comment about this person.

[Brian_K_White]

You literally said they should do something.

[baxtr]

Yes exactly. I stand by that advice. What’s the alternative? Do nothing?

[lazyasciiart]

So you advise that they do not need to change their approach at all, since they’re already doing something: posting on hacker news.

Ok, so comments like this are helpful then?
