    After hundreds of failures, I managed to get a government job since they were obligated to test me on some incredibly easy “standardized test” which automatically gets you an interview with the team.

    At least in these cases you’re less likely to be at the whims of a wholly inept HR person and instead at the whims of a wholly inept assessment third party. And the latter at least doesn’t care if you’re fresh on the market.

      That’s stellar. I’m finding myself being pushed out of consideration for almost every government or government adjacent field since I foolishly focus on the company before myself and don’t have a degree for what I do. Hoping I can find something contracted if anything.
