"I'm good at communicating." Really? If I were your prospective employer, I'd be wondering just how often the f-bomb finds its way into your communications, and why you thought it was appropriate to drop twice in a job appeal. Please take this as a constructive criticism of your approach.
An employer who thought the f-bomb in a hacker news post spoke poorly of my communicative abilities would not be my ideal employer.
"On the other hand, JPEG may not be as well suited for line drawings and other textual or iconic graphics, where the sharp contrasts between adjacent pixels can cause noticeable artifacts. Such images may be better saved in a lossless graphics format such as TIFF, GIF, PNG, or a raw image format. The JPEG standard actually includes a lossless coding mode, but that mode is not supported in most products."

Yep, this is not the stuff I'm good at. Correct.
This is the wrong approach -- why not take a job as an ESL teacher (you won't find many people here hiring for that) by searching in the right channels?
I'm looking for other jobs too. I can do lots of things.
Your ad seems to suggest desperation -- "I need cash right now." That's not a bad thing to say, but when you're in that situation you should be playing in your wheelhouse.

If you're not desperate, you should reword your ad to emphasize the fact that you're trying to broaden your search.

There's an incoherence in the message.

I don't care what the critics are saying. I'm a fan of this Kenneth Myers fellow.
I think you got balls for this posting, however I agree with ynoclo. Although the f-bomb is an attention getter it is also a turn off since you could have--at the very least--used asterisks for an equally attention grabbing title and omitted it entirely from your profile.
Do a startup translating Terms of Service documents (like fb needs to do) and other business related webpage stuff.
do you have a visa?
I have a passport, and I'm a US citizen.
redditor since 2 minutes ago. Oops, wrong community.
Huh? Oh, the visa asking guy, not me, right?
He's referring to visaking (his username is green, meaning new)
