How did you get your first job? Apartment/house? Dating?

I ask because I really only did so after years of bouncing around from colleges, summer abroad programs, living with friends, and really just use Zillow or StreetEasy to look.

(I also ask because I want a distraction from the world that isn’t entertainment or documentary/non-fiction and often daydream about what things I could have done different had I known things - real life skills - earlier.)

    First job out of uni:

    • you are interviewing for the industry not the job
    • thus, take whatever job will sign a paycheck into he industry you are comfortable working in (crappiest house in the nicest neighborhood approach)
    • from there people will probably start offering you jobs at random, even when you have like 1 months experience. More realistically take 12-18moonths at a shit job so you can complete a project and throw it on your resume, then look for your next hop (probably via a current coworker or internal posting or something)
    • government jobs are worth pursuing, if given the opportunity
