Be polite and professional in your interview.
They were extremely friendly and very accommodating. I am also grateful they saw me as valuable and look forward to helping them kick butt in the industry.
Take a chance no matter what the listed job requirements are. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by offering them something of value. YOU.
Yeah... But Seattle?
Exactly - spread the word by helping out the based companies in that libtard hell hole, brother. There ARE based folks there, they are just in the minority (or more like silent majority).
CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉
We need an Anon job board or something.
A while ago someone posted something similar - a no vax needed job board.
Quick search brought this up.
Amen
There is that. Good point.
The nature is nice, the people are fucking intolerable.
Companies are probably starting to realize the pure bloods are sick as LOT LESS than the vaxxed. After all companies kind of don't like workers who will blow all their sick leave in the fist 3 months of the year and then keep calling out sick even unpaid because they are now too physically unfit for even a desk job. Even worse if 10% of their work force is falling over dead in a year.
But of course given the current fascist regime they cannot publicly say anything. Hell if they dared the democrat vaxxing browns shirts would decent upon management and savage them. So they have to maintain that vaxx is company policy even if they would very much want to get rid of it.
So they have to rely on you be smart enough and brave enough to ask first. Then they can quietly wave policy in the HR files and get you working.
And you will find that businessmen, even in liberaldom, are considerably less insane than the unemployed wanna be communist anarchists and delusional collage students drunk on a force-fed diet of CCP subversion propaganda.
Yeah, if you live with the rich people. According to OP, standing your ground sets you apart as quality in this market of mask wearing obedient losers. $$$

I actually wanted to post something similar here. I got a job offer from a company in Chicago. They require the covid-19 shot, and I asked them to provide in writing up front that I would never be required to get any vaccine as a condition of employment. They said no and I walked. It would have been a 20% pay increase and I know the manager really, really wanted me to take the job, but I'm sticking to my guns. I will not get the poison death shot. I even cited Pfizer data in my letter. I honestly thought for sure they would cave.
I think guiding them through the utter BS of the facts is the way. Most people think the vax works. That it is safe. Etc.
If I am ever asked to provide or get it, I obviously won't. But I will show them the data that shows them that they are wrong and making people take an unnecessary risk with something that does not work.
Good on you for walking. My whole family sold out. Every single one except for me, and now, they're getting sick regularly in the middle of summer. Great.
Thank you. I would say it was a hard choice, but I knew I didn't want to gamble on their "you can request an exemption" nonsense. At that point, no amount of money would have swayed me.
I still don’t understand how they aren’t violating ADA laws by forcing medical procedures as condition of employment.
Don’t fret, you did the right thing.
Managers there don't make those policies, it's HR.
Plus, if they gave a blanket exemption for someone (i.e. not medical or religious), when they required all existing employees to comply, then they would be up for class action.
No. This would have been remote, which makes it more ridiculous. The company has locations mostly in the Midwest, but has some in places like Arizona. Not a single location is within 6 hours of me and I'd never set foot on their property.
I hope this gets some gears turning over there. I had been referred and they wanted to poach me from my company. I was their top choice and would have been a business intelligence "expert" on the team. Too bad for them, I guess.
I will hire you to be my business intelligence expert for 149 dollar bucks per month, pretty much just chat and exchange ideas for my local lawn business
I spoke directly with the General Manager and Director of Operations via word of mouth from a salesman at my current company.
We're really good at this one.

Not working for my kid with a Computer degree. She keeps applying for it all, but no takers. One of her classmates quit looking and got a CDL to start trucking.
She needs to be constantly coding. No downtime. I have no college degree but got a fantastic remote job, and have been in it 3 years now - all it took was self teaching myself to code for 3 or 4 years (the reason I dropped out is cause I would skip class to build my video game). Anyways the point is you have to get really good at coding to be hired.
She needs to get good. Computer degree means nothing.
She needs to learn industry relevant skills. Look for programming bootcamps near you; they will teach industry relevant skills.
She's doing that! She's already got a bunch of industry standard things in her portfolio, but no one will look at it because she doesn't have a company on her resume. She always is working on another coding project. She codes pretty well, can do C, Java, Python, etc. Completed her degree.
So true. Programming is an art that takes years to learn. I don't know how much the process can be accelerated by training classes.
My hubby is an IT manager who has been programming since he was 12. Learned C code programming doing text based games in college while getting his Comp degree. He looks at Coding Boot camp on resumes when hiring and throws them in the trash. They just don't measure up to what he needs done as he needs a lot of OOP and they don't do that there.
Ironically, he can't hire his girl because of nepotism. He says she is a B level programmer. My kid has played around in Linux since she was 3-4 years old.
She’s not applying for the right jobs.
Tier 1 help desk typically makes a mistake on at least half their tickets. Wrong name, bad email or phone number, stupid problem description that is just wrong. That’s pretty much their job - recording that somebody has a problem so somebody better can fix it later. In short, anybody with common sense can be a top performer almost right away.
6 months in and getting a decent amount of first call resolutions and she’s earned a bump. Within a year she’s actually fixing problems by picking up the tickets after they are made and she’s marketable in any help desk.
She's been applying to entry level developer and related jobs. Funny how they all require 1-2 years of experience, and sometimes she gets a nasty email saying didn't you read the ad? You don't have any experience.
I'll ask if her she's been applying for help desk jobs too.
A year of IT experience would help. Not sure if she has any work experience at all. A lot of kids these days barely have any work experience when they graduate college. That’s why my nephew spent $50k on a degree and stocks boxes. By that time I had a couple retail jobs, a lot of restaurant experience and dozens of job interviews under my belt. I had solid references and could interview well.
The challenge is going to be keeping her dev skills sharp in the face of a shitty soul crushing helpdesk job. She needs to find opportunities to code. It could be volunteer work or a silly web app. Something where she can practice the craft, gain experience writing progressively complex code, etc. that way she can show her work on GitHub and let devs assess her abilities.
Alternatively, she could have a shot at a low end web dev position. Like Wordpress can be as easy as text updates or as complicated as an integrated custom app. So there’s a lot of room for growth in that career path. Or if that’s not what she really wants she can take the experience and move in another direction.
Yes! A year of experience is what she needs. She had a year of working in the library in high school. I think she interviews well as she is INTP: all business. But no one will give her a chance. She has programmed for a niche social media outlet on a volunteer basis, has worked on developing a WordPress portfolio, she's started on a grocery/recipe app, and has been lately polishing her agile/scrum skills,. My kid is coding, but nobody wants to look at it. Thanks for all your advice!
Well, glad we're not alone! My kid has so many talents! She is also an amazing artist, and has knowledge of a plethora of subjects! I feel for you guys, this world is so jacked up!
Yes! A new day is about to dawn! My kid is confident that God is lining something up for her!
I have gotten a few offers from manufacturers just seeing my profile on job seeking sites when I am obviously in a totally different manufacturing field. The NEED for people is REAL and they are willing to train to fill positions.
Congrats.
I told a company I would not disclose and they cancelled my interview. Later I saw their CEO with her pronouns in her bio post about how they were covering abortion expenses and knew I was better off not working for abortion loving vaccine commies.
Dodged a rainbow coated bullet there.
Same here. Willing to walk away from $220k/year. As Pantera would say...WALK
It is probably a sign... but be cautious. Whatch your six.
here I am making miniscule florida money, spending half my income to leftist state refugee inflation feelsbadman. never wanted to leave florida until now. been broke since I started working.
Any manufacturing out there?
Lots and they need people.
Same story! Except also DREAM position came up, would have had 2000 applicants. Made it to the next stage had to submit some forms and proof of vax. Didn’t, got another call I made it to the 8 man assessment day, proof of vax again. Said I don’t have it with no intention and they canned me. Vax required gig I did get isn’t bad but that was disappointing. Refused a Covid swab in 2020 for one of the worlds largest mining companies on religious grounds and had to do 6 weeks of HR with no apology. They now require all unvaxxed to test every set of shifts, wish I stayed just to refuse it over and over.
This is the way.
Wow. You're lucky. 4 months ago, it was a different story. I was extended a job offer and they told me vaccines were required, I told them I couldn't do it and they ceased all communications with me.
Congrats by the way! I'm glad the world is starting to turn around
No amount money is worth working or living in the land of the morally and brain dead place called Seattle.
I don't live in Seattle and the part the job is at is heavily industrial. It's a nice blue-collar island.
Way to go, fren! Congratulations on the new job -- and congratulations for staying strong! It's really going to pay off. 😉
It's been stressful for sure. With my current employer I came close to leaving because of the OSHA rule the resident tried to push through. The stress I felt not knowing if I was going to be able to find work because I refuse to be a lab rat almost did me in. I put my life in God's hands and LIKE ALWAYS he provided.
God bless.
Exactly right. People need to understand this and the power they have as individuals. Good for you and good luck in your new position!
Good for you!👍
It most certainly is a job seekers market right now. I renegotiated my contract by threatening to put in my 2 weeks notice and got a 10% raise and an additional two weeks of paid vacation every year.
It's crazy how desperate companies are for workers. Which makes me wonder how so many people are still struggling so much, financially. The jobs are out there for the taking.
You just inspired me to look after being self employed for 25 years. Wow, there's money out there.
You must be really fuckin' good at whatever you do, anon, for them to bend over for you like that. Well done.
I am. I was still nervous as hell, though. It was the first interview I have had in 23 years. I had another interview right after this one maybe two miles away and while I was at the next interview, I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. It was the offer letter hitting my email. The drive back to my current employer was fantastic. I am certain I had a massive grin the entire way.
Already live and work in the area. I am a red island in a blue sea. Always have been.
God had blessed me so many times. We purchased our home in 2015 when it was a strong buyers market.
Congrats to you! Thank you for sharing your great news and suggestions for others to follow suit!
Congrats!
Good for you! Woohoo!
Problem with Seattle is, $7.50 and you try to find housing you get a cardboard box under the bridge.
Don't go there.
lol the job isn't $7.50 per hour.
It's a violent city. Just take care.
It's a very industrial area of the city. Poisonous to the PANTIFA crowd.
Oh good.
Beautiful city and place to live before all the crazy.
Oh, ok. Just be careful.
I moved away from WA.
I will work here but retire out of state. :)
Great. I moved last year.
Be vigilant.
If you come out here hit me up fren. You’ll be surrounded by libtards.
The only ones who have it as a supposed absolute is the gov. jobs. Congrats, hope your commute is bearable. Welcome to the jungle.
Gov.jobs makes absolute sense, that's driving a big chunck of unfunded liabilities long-term.
Awesome
I hope for your sake they don't introduce a new policy 2 days after you start that specifically "regretfully requires people who have just spent a small fortune relocating to Seattle to show proof of vaccine before getting access to the building, or to the IT system, or being added to payroll"
I did not relocate. No move required. The requirement for proof of vax was removed from the offer letter and I have the text message saying as much from management. I am prepared.
I think it would have been better to warn the employer of all their potential lawsuits from requiring the jab and those employees that got them by coercion. You all could be out of a job.
They'll fire you if they steal the elections again lol
lol why would you trust those people? The second they can get rid of you they will try to force the lethal injection on you
Yeah on second thought I should have given up and moved into the mountains.
