1. Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.

  2. For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.

  3. Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.

  4. If you wish to change your username, please ask via conversation to tehelgee instead of asking via my profile. I'd like to not clutter it up with such requests.

    It's difficult. I mean, once you get ghosted post-interview a few times you tend to lost a lot of motivation. Not to mention all the literal hundreds of applications.

    As someone who might be close to getting a real job (as opposed to a non-real job), I noticed that I begun to have less time and energy for my hobbies and interests... such are the trade offs of life it seems.

    Even in college, it's tough rn. Am doing PhD and working every day, taking half a day off a week just to stay sane. Get a hour or two after work then just collapse.

    Funny thing was I actually had more free time when I was working ~60hr in a non-real job (aka working in a restaurant).

    But in the general terms? The job market has grown...stupidly difficult, with even mcdonalds wanting an f-ing college degree these days, and lots of jobs wanting you to have experience, but very few willing to actually GIVE that experience

    Sad thing is the only places that don't require experience are places that hire illegal immigrants and the military...

    Also depressing to note that since the military actually pays for the training and certification of their personnel, they're effectively subsidizing the corporate world with trained workers who'll take all kinds of shitty conditions.
