Ask HN: How can I get interviews when "who wants to be hired" isn't working?

2•LoganDark•49m ago
My last couple of remote jobs I've gotten by posting in the "who wants to be hired" thread on HN, but the past three months I've posted there I only get offers to commit fraud, and no actual interviews.

I don't know if LinkedIn or any other similar platform is worth it because they're too accessible, so I'd have to apply to many thousands of jobs to be seen once, let alone considered.

I've tried to apply to YC startups through Work at a Startup, but they all want super senior roles with decades of experience, and they just don't reply!

My savings are running really low and I'm getting really desperate, I need something right now that ideally pays within a month, but I'm just at a loss for how to have any chance at an interview...

Are there any other places I can apply for interviews or any way I can have another chance quickly as someone who is early-ish in their career? If I can't get something quickly I won't even be able to pay my taxes from last year, even with the extension...

I've been programming for over a decade and have worked with dozens of languages and technologies, but I only have about two years of professional experience.

Look for work in vacancy sites, like indeed.com. Do not filter out recruitment agencies. Reach out to recruitment agencies. Consider working in person.
