  • So I don’t know if you tried looking for state jobs.

    I see you are in Michigan so, apply for something that you’re overqualified for and then work the job until you’re past the probation period.

    Then, apply for the job you want. They hire internally first for pretty much every position. This is how several people’s experience go about how they got into their current position with the state at DHHS.

    A popular position for getting your foot in the door is processing food stamp applications. It’s remote and doesn’t require a bachelor’s degree, so having a bachelor’s degree will likely get you an interview.

    Also, this applies in general:

    Applicant recruiting software usually looks for key words.

    Look at the ad & attached position description and highlight the words and phrases used.

    Include them in your resume, cover letter, application. You have to tailor your application to each position. It’s a royal pain, but that’s how most recruiting software works.

    I would also urge you to call the respective departments/agencies HR departments and ask about the position. A current employee may be able to flag your application depending on whom you speak to.

    Either that or try MDOC as some say it is the easiest way into the State. Its not for everyone but its an option. They always look for people.

    So to summarize

    Use exact words and terms from the job description on your application. The software will search and grade your application by these hits.

    Keep it short. Use only one font. The software diagnoses the beginning font and can’t read anything that deviates from the font.

    Apply for an entry level position and work your way up to the position you actually want.

    Other options

    Check the community college job postings near where you live! When they are about to start a new semester, they usually have openings

    On that note, The schools are always hiring. It varies depending on the district, but Livonia school for example is looking for the following:

    https://www.applitrack.com/livoniapublicschools/onlineapp/default.aspx?all=1

    Manufacturing is ALWAYS hiring. Drive by just about any plant in the Metro Detroit area and probably there will be ‘now hiring’ signs all over the place.

    No experience will probably start around $15/hr, but if you learn fast & want to advance, there are usually ways to move up pretty quickly.

    Check out mml.org’s classifieds if you haven’t already. Again, people often overlook city government jobs but the pay is often decent and have good benefits. Some also tend to browse governmentjobs.com.

    Oakland County seems to have lots of different jobs available.

    Try contacting an agency like kelly or arrow strategies if you’re in tech.

    Remember we are near the end of year. December January February are basically dead time for gigs, they all pick up on march


  • Easy

    Set first a logistically optimal delivery infrastructure to low earth orbit/Geo with reusable rockets

    Use said rockets to set up an advance lunar post with Kickstarter key infrastructure delivered to develop the post into a full starter colony

    Use the colony infraestructure to develop orbital rails, able to deliver orbital mass.

    Deliver multiple prefab modules, able to be joined, into low earth orbit

    Set up several space stations as refueling, tourist, and research areas. Use these to prop and kickstart your economy

    At the same time, automate the colony creation process to create mining modules and set up shop near known asteroid belt targets with an advance team.

    Optimal: prop up several refueling stations on the way

    Standardize the mining process. Set up a loop of barges/pods going and coming from/to the target mining post to the moon surface or to the research stations

    Escalate as necessary
