As a relatively recent Windows refugee, I want to share a recent success that has made me feel fully confident in never needing Windows again and fully feeling the Linux superiority.
I got Cyberpunk with all my previous mods running.
Maybe not a big deal for most people, but this was one thing that had kept me holding onto dual boot on my main device. Conversations online also kept making modding on Linux seem so impenetrable.
Then I decided to spend an afternoon figuring out modding games in general on Linux, and yeah parts of it was tough for me to figure out, but now I’m confident that anything I used to do on PC, I can probably do better on Linux.
I am ready to take up arms alongside the Weaponized Assault Penguin squad.
I agree with this advice of having someone take a look at your resume. Way back, I had an older friend of mine with experience managing CV’s help me work on mine and even the base template of my cover letters. I’ve done a number of interviews, mostly unsuccessful though I’m happy with where I’m at now, and one consistent thing I’ve heard is that I have an impressive resume, and I’m forever thankful to my friend for helping me put it together.
I don’t quite agree on customizing your CV for every submission, but I do do this for my cover letter/correspondence.
Also, yes, reaching out directly to places you want to work with has worked for me a couple of times. If there are hiring/networking events for your field, even online ones, I’d recommend that too. Best success I’ve had landing interviews is through these kind of events and I’ve only done online ones.
