ref1234··on Ask HN: I am 34 years old refugee how Can I find a job
Agreed. But I have no idea how the system works. I can't apply directedly I guess because I don't have a valid passport.

Great idea, but I am not in the US. I am in Egypt. The only way out is through Mediterranean.

No, actually RosanaAnaDana recommended Fiverr and MattGaiser recommended Indeed. Fiverr seems wild, people there have been building reputations for years. But I'll explore the rest including Upwork.

Agreed. I am not claiming that I am on the right path. I just put so much information and hid who I am. so I feel if mentioned more, I'll be recognized and don't want that to happen. That's it, there's no other reason that prevents me from mentioning more.
ref1234··on Ask HN: I am 34 years old refugee how Can I find a job
Yes, I don't want to be identified. I feel like some may recognize me if I do.

Somehow I find myself, yet again in the land of judgment. Once, I don't understand my situation, then I am being told I am not being open-minded enough. Well, my friend, I am actually here, posting for suggestions and I don't want this conversation shift to be a legal debate or to remind me that the advice is free of charge.

> If you were still in Afghanistan, then yes, sanctions come into play.

No, you can't be refugee inside your country. But you can be an asylum seeker indefinitely in a third country. In this case, you will have a document issued by the UN that says this person is seeking asylum. They put you on hold, forever, until you receive an invitation for resettlement. What does the labor work say? Simple. You are either a foreigner or a citizen. There's no way to deal with you in the `grey area`.

> It’s easy to think you understand the whole problem.

You don't think I understand what's happening to me? Well, I do. I know exactly the problem. I've been looking for a solution for years. I think it's easy to judge people when they are vulnerable.

I didn't mention it because I am seeking career advice. So where I am from or where I live don't think will make any difference. I have my expired passport and UN document, with my CS degree and a lot of other things. All documents I have don't make me eligible for residency. And paying taxes is not something I am concerned about right now.

No, actually I didn't and I don't know if I can depend on it but I am definitely going to try it. Thanks.
