Hey, I was fired last July and I went through the same process, I actually asked a similar question on Lemmy and the feedback I received helped a tonne in landing more interviews.
Here are the steps I believe helped me:
- Make sure your CV is machine parseable, search for open resume, upload your cv see what it detects. Ideally, generate your CV using that tool.
- Create your own portfolio website, here is mine for reference https://souperk.gr/ (I have a public repository, feel free to copy if CSS isn’t your strong suite)
- Check that toggle on LinkedIn to signify you are actively searching atm (don’t remember how, but you should see a ribbon on your avater if it’s active)
For me, landing more interviews was the hard part. Once I got a few interviews going, landing an offer was easy.

souperk@reddthat.comOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How would you implement a dead man's switch?7·6 months agoMaybe, add a clause what should happen if you disappear for more than x days. For most jurisdictions you are considered dead if you disappear for a few years.

- Yes, I am intelligent, a lot of people have been impressed by the speed I digest a new piece of information.
- I have wisdom to know that intelligence plays a very insignificant part in shaping my identity. As for putting my intelligence into good use, I am not sure I can answer yes. I am too idealistic for my own good.
- IMO humans are unique and similar at the same time. Though, we got to be careful when trying to identify our similarities (see biopolitics, especially M. Foucault).
souperk@reddthat.comto Technology@beehaw.org•The Fediverse is getting its own TikTok competitor called Loops7·9 months agoIMO we need to break it in a few independent but cooperating decentralized systems;
- A transportation service where consumers will request the transportation of goods or people from point A to point B, and providers will make bids for those requests.
- A storage service where providers will offer storage of goods at specific locations, and consumers that make requests for the storage.
- A LC service, where two parties can enter an letter-of-credit (LC) contract, and providers can guarantee the contract.
If these systems are available, it would be possible to implement additional decentralized services like;
- Marketplaces.
- Passenger transportation services.
- Food delivery.
- Probably many more.
souperk@reddthat.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How can I politely phrase, "My company is full of old men in leadership who don't understand data so using AI effectively is next to impossible"4·9 months agoI know you are asking for something different, but since there are already a few good answers, allow me to instead to reject the premise and give you a different.
It’s not impossible to implement an AI solution within the context your provided. The problem is that it’s going to be expensive. However, you can offer to deliver something smaller, focus on the smallest but valuable contribution you can make. While cleaning up the data is still going to be a hell of task, if the scope is small enough it can be achievable. Then, you can communicate the difficulty to scale due to data issues which can help management undestand the importance of prioritizing data quality.
If you have a bunch of sales data, maybe you can focus on deriving purchase patterns and build a simple recommendations engine. If you want to focus on marketing, you could try lead classification. Ideas depend on the domain of the company you work for.

Wondering if a volunteer could go to the physical location necessary to restore service. If it’s in Athens Greece, I can make the trip.
Edit: The server is located in Azores, the flight would cost 415eur, I cannot afford that, maybe someone in Portugal could help?
