Ask HN: How can I earn money in the workforce with a interview “disability”?
Over the years I have myself a set of software development skills and usually don't face much difficulty in learning new skills on the job.
But,
My ability to get new SWE jobs has drastically tapered off over the past few years and I have a serious learning problem with interviews. I lack the ability to read people at interviews nor can I learn from my mistakes in them. I'm unemployed so I lack leverage.
So, I need to get myself involved in something that can pay me in the interim, without that interviewing requirement. Something that is as open as volunteering, but the legal status of a job that provides compensation.
