Edit: This isn't going to get you a programming job but you might have a good chance of joining the community team.

The ISD are volunteers so it will not pay your bills.

I tried this, and all i ended up with was a Large Remote Armour Rep

You're 100% right on that. I have an aerospace degree, I'm 25, and I have a background with NASA. (I would've had a job if NASA didn't do a massive layoff after the man spaceflight thing)
Anyways, I've been looking for a job for a while now. I've only been on a handful of interviews, and I found some disturbing things. Most people out there treats people who doesn't have a job like crap.

On 2 of my interviews the other person asked if I currently held a job. When I told them the truth, the interviewer said I shouldn't waste their time and they only hire people who isn't a lazy bum. (I had a thousand dollar suit on. This included snakeskin shoes.) Both of those times I reply with the truth. I said I didn't get fired. After Obama gave the man space flight to Elon Musk after a backroom deal, many people both in and out of the space business lost their jobs. I explained how over 10 thousand people who worked in plants that made o rings, screwdrivers, screws, etc lost their job when their biggest customer NASA and it's contactors went away. Over 300 thousand people who did work in the space industry also lost their jobs. (Some of the top engineers that worked at NASA is now running some theme park rides and changing oil because that's all they can get now)
Then I explained how I've tried to even create my own job (Tech Reviews and Help), when I couldn't find a job over a good amount of time.

Both interviewers said something like it didn't matter on why I don't have a job. The problem is I still don't have a job.


I'm also finding a lot of places don't want to hire someone of my age. (something about experience) The sucky part is, I can't find an entry level to get more experience.


Now for those of you who are wondering where I'm at. I am not in/near a big city. I'm in an average town in NC. (The reason why I am here is because 1. I can't find a job that would relocate me, and 2. living with family is better than a box)


Anyways, I'm just lucky I have some money kept away to find a job. I can't imagine what it's like for some of these people who are worst off.

At least you're 25 and still "marketable".

Get laid off from a company after 30 years and over 50, chances of finding another job with similar pay is next to nil. That's flipping burgers or forced retirement.

Did you minor is CS by chance? As that's more marketable, aerospace is a very narrow aviation field. Better to hit up Boeing / Lockheed-Martin.

Nah, it's not just his line of work. Over in the UK it's pretty similar. Most employers or HR will throw away CVs from people who are not currently in work. I kind of have two fields of expertise in my working life, IT and healthcare. I was out of a job for about a year and finding one was a royal pain in the ass. Now that I have been working and applying for other jobs though, getting interviews has been a piece of **** (easy).

Having said the above, asking about jobs in the general discussion section of a computer game forum is a pretty daft thing to do. Aspirations of working for NASA or not.

My advice would be to pick a profession where you can build a portfolio. I will be an employed software developer very shortly and I got the job over other experienced developers because I have build a website showing off some of my fancier programs. A portfolio goes a long way.

It is hard. Like I said, it took me a year (ish) to find something after my Osteopathy business fell through. I just had to aim a lot lower than I thought I deserved and then work up from there. Once you've got a job, getting one that's better is relatively simple in comparison. At least that's how I have found it, and what advice someone gave to me when I couldn't get a job in healthcare.

Might be worth contacting them through their careers section if you want to find out. I have no idea how Mintchip got their position. You could always ask her by private messaging her youtube channel or twitter (actually have no idea if twitter has private messages).

Practice on this sentence "No sorry, the logs don't show anything."

volunteer until you find a job that's what im doing had alot more interviews since i have been volunteering.

Edit: If interviewers see you will do 35 hours a week what will he do when he is getting payed.
