Oh, hi! Did you miss me?

If you’re on LinkedIn, you’ve seen this already, but: It’s been some rough forever, erm, months since November, and I’ve been licking my wounds and trying to treat an ongoing case of burnout.

I’d actually intended to publish an issue of the newsletter on its one year anniversary (January 14th!), but then I decided to break my ankle that day instead. (Boy, the things writers will do to avoid writing, amiright?)

But I’m now recovering and figured it was time to get back in the saddle. It’s a light issue bringing us back, but I figured something is better than nothing.

This issue also brings a new feature at Support Human Jobs: I now tag jobs with 👻 Ghost Job? when I suspect the company’s not actually hiring for it, and these suspicious jobs have their own category on the site now (meaning you can filter them out when looking at job results if you’d like).

Thanks for hanging in with me, and I hope you enjoy!

Get Hired

I play Bad Job Bingo with every job listing that appears in the Roundup and categorize them according to how well (or poorly, if I hit Bingo) they do in the game.

However, please remember that a job appearing in a positive category isn’t an endorsement of any role or company, and a job appearing in a negative category doesn't mean I think you shouldn't apply if it works for you. Bad Job Bingo is simply an effort to give you a shortcut to finding roles that may match your needs and values.

These and past contestants can be found at Support Human Jobs.
