I’m sure this must sound stupid for many, but I never get any responses, until like 3 days later when I check my spam folder and realize my scheduled interview appointment came from some random server that got deleted as spam mail.

How the hell do people get jobs online? I’ve only ever landed a job in person.

    Just start fixing devices yourself. Make a professional looking ad and do it at home. Advertise on your local facebook groups. Just be upfront about not having a shop yet. Buy broken devices and fix/resell them. Offer electronics recycling and get stuff for free that you can resell/scrap for money. If you need help with ebay I can write up a guide. I’ve been selling for 20 years.

      Been there, tried that.

      I tend to get about three different categories of devices that I refuse to work on.

      1. Please help me unlock this stolen device…

      2. Please fix my 72 inch TV, my kids broke it. Never worth it to even attempt to replace large screens like that, it costs more than the device is even worth.

      3. Please fix my (insert product name here). Oh fuck, parts cost money, well nevermind…
