This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don't know if trying to recruit 4channers is a bottom of the barrel scraping, or just a clear view of how they see every recruit.

How do you be a NEET?

Do you live with your parents and they just don't give a shit? or is it more of a trust fund kid thing.

The way you get around it is discussing what is possible in person. You write a few bullets about your skills but not tied to the contracting. Don’t be specific, it’s not needed.

I don’t even put my military stuff on resumes anymore.

I once got a "redacted" resume from someone who used to work in defense. Basically they just had a bunch of line items like

  • Developed back-end for ████████████████████ in Spring microservices, which is deployed in ██████████████████ used by ██████████ operations daily

It got the point across about their skills and honestly they got an interview from it

I used to work for a company that contracted out programmers to a defense contractor (Northrup Grumman). It honestly never even occurred to me to redact out the stuff I worked on when I put it in my resume. Nobody said anything about that when I left the company, even though I'd gotten a security clearance to work at NG in the first place. I wonder if your "redacted" person just did it themselves to create a sense of mystery.
