A Month Ago Three People I Have Never Met Passed My CV to a Company

It would be dishonest to go quiet now that the ending is boring.

A month ago three people I have never met passed my CV to a company. Someone abroad referred me. Someone else put my name in front of an HR team. I have not heard back from any of it.

I am writing that down because I posted a thank you at the time, and it would be dishonest to go quiet now that the ending is boring.

Just 22 and I live in Radom (23 in September ;). I drive a taxi ten to twelve hours a day. In the evenings I build software, and one of the things I built has been on the Microsoft Store since July. Fourteen months, no week off.

None of it has produced a job.

I do not have the part where it works out. I keep sending applications, most of them go silent, and on Thursday I get in the car again.

If you have ever hired someone who had no commercial title yet, I would like to know what made you do it. And if you know a team that is looking, I am here.
