Hi, I've got no degree, and I am from third world, and I am looking to land a job (specifically in Europe/USA), would love if it's Rust related..
I have experience (10 years) in programming and cybersec, I am fluent in English in writing and speaking, and I also got proof of skills (Like, I wrote my own self-hosted compiler, etc)
But unfortunately I don't got LinkedIn (and can't make one).
What are my options if I want a remote job or something similar ? Is it possible at all ?
I checked couple threads here and, it seems like almost everyone is not just vibe coding, but also vibe posting.. which is making me a bit depressed and making me lose hope..
don't hate AI to point where I won't use it. I am fine with using it, if job requires it.
I have hope for you. A couple of things. The part about not having a linkedin .... Fantastic. You don't need to be a member of some specific companies website to get a job. That shows that you think on your own and do not just follow the crowd. If your prospective empoyer requires you to set up a linkedin, then do it for that reason and it also shows them you will jump through their hoops. employers like employees that will jump through hoops.
You have to make a resume. Keep it simple one page. You do not need to have "paid" experience to put on the resume. You can also put down your own study and things you have built / accomplished. For example your compiler.
I can't unfortuntely. Linkedin keeps locking my account, then banning me for no reason, I contacted their support around 200000 times no exaggeration, contacted them over reddit, email, twitter, you name it i tried it, they always just say "i broke guidelines" how could've i broken anything when i never used the platform before ?
I tried making more accounts to try again, always same result, and they never tell you why they ban you, at account creation.
A lot of applying to jobs require linkedin... even companies who got their own job submittion website, need linkedin link as required field.. lol..
By your responses to this thread I feel you have some inner work to do also if you want a job. You will never get a job if you keep thinking and focusing on why you can not get a job. You need to turn your brain into the focus of "I can get a job because of ....". Not the focus of "I can not get a job because of ..."
Go to search at the platform as indeed without needing to have linkedin, it is not hard to find the job in Rust programming. All other people can't do for you, you need to make an extra of effort to be of visibility for yourself and make a connection to social network for your job ... Otherwise it will be very difficult to get your job...
