We need to help our fellow goons out in their careers. So lets put together a list of employment tils to help each other out!

Tip #1 - Don't give your boss your actual phone number. The only time they are going to call you is to trick you into working an extra shift.

use your friends and get in on that sweet nepotism. if you gently caress up and make them look bad, don't worry about it, you can always make new friends.

Put all your attribute stats into luck because that's the best way of getting hired. I've lucked out into most of my jobs; some examples being getting my letter one day before the interview and others not getting theirs. Or short turnaround time on job announcements and I'm fortunate to be one of few who see it.

Look, Kuato isn't wrong.

Because if you max INT without putting something into CHA, you are an unrelatable know it all that is relegated to the loving server room.

All CHA, no Int and you are a kiss rear end that sleeps his/her way to the top, right until you hit a person that calls you on your bullshit.

Please don't make me describe the people who try and max WIS and CON.

A tie is the yoke of corporate oppression and should never be worn. Ever. If you can't get hired without wearing a tie, you don't deserve a job. If the job requires a tie, you don't need it. Find something else.

So, as long as you are willing to live in your "high school peak" and nothing for the next however, DEX is your stat.

Wise words indeed. But everyone thinks they need a big rear end house so they can pile it full of stupid poo poo they don't need, and they absolutely must drive a used, two generations behind Acura. Or a new Dodge Challenger. Don't work for dumb stuff. Work because you have to and would someday like to not have to. Also car notes are for suckers.

don't be picky about work. especially if you have a degree you can't find work in. Suck it up and flip burgers or TBH unless you're a skinny or the kind of fat that's too fat to even attempt manual labor, do manual labor.

this works too. i hired some literal crazy lady (like mental institution level of crazy), she made up a bunch of work experience and proceeded to show up to work 50% of the time and act batshit insane half the time. a lot of HR depts are lazy and don't do much of anything.

speaking as an insane person, it's really easy for me to clean up and put on a front for HR and if i'm hired, thru the evaluation period.

if it's some bumpkin company that has no problem throwing you out, just gotta last until they like you.

If it's some joke headquartered out in California that enforces california-like labor laws on their campus then yeah i start acting insane the second i think i have any job security

Oh, you mean tips for when you have a job?

Spend 80% of your time very quietly creating problems, then spend 20% of your time very loudly and publicly fixing them.
