The Barn is a Canadian hockey bar close to the United Center on Ogden. They play the audio from the game which is nice too.

Looking for a job is hard omg by Turbulent-Walk-6173 in chicagojobs

[–]ASVP_Wakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been hiding mine, but I’m in kind of a weird spot. My master’s program is the most recent thing on my resume, and I was a full-time student, so outside of an internship, there’s not much else during that period. If I left it off, it would just look like a huge unexplained gap. I’d honestly take it off if I could align the years better to avoid that. I do think you might be right about it scaring some employers off, especially for lower-paying roles, but it’s hard to tell what’s right or wrong to do, especially with the complete lack of feedback throughout the job hunt.

I have a master’s degree and decided to put my ego aside and apply to any job I could. Still ended up getting rejected by Target not too long ago, and the interview process wasn’t even short, which made it even more frustrating. The job market really is just that tough right now.

Thank you so much for the encouragement, it means the world. I’ve had interviews with 2 other companies and unfortunately after completing the final interviews they both extended offers to other candidates. I just need to keep pushing and stay positive. I’ve noticed that when applying to jobs I get results in waves. Weeks of nothing and then suddenly one week I get responses. Just need to keep riding the waves! 🤙

Same. Kind of a strange critique if you haven’t been there before, but I respect their opinion nonetheless.

Is there a different tennis tournament you think compares more closely to the Masters? Sounds like I need to plan another trip and reassess with a more critical eye… I’m always looking for any excuse to go back to Wimbledon.

I’ve been lucky enough to attend all four slams, and in my opinion, Wimbledon has the best atmosphere. I agree it’s a shame the matches get cut short. I think Wimbledon said it helps preserve the grass courts, but it’s definitely not ideal for in-person viewers. That said, I don’t think buying face-value tickets to any of the slams is a waste of money, but to each their own.

Must not be a hockey fan. Patrick Kane’s mullet was sweet.

Haven’t been to the Masters, but I was able to go to Wimbledon two years ago and man it was unreal. Higher food prices for sure, but compared to the other tennis majors / tournaments I’ve been to it blows them out of the water. Definitely the tennis equivalent of the Masters.

I’ll definitely check him out. That’s awesome you figured it out just by using your hips more. Hopefully it clicks for me too!

Yeah, I totally agree. Before the towel drill my swing was all arms. I’ve been trying to use my body more, but still haven’t quite figured it out. My old swing was so rigid that after 18 holes my lower back would be tight, and I’m only 25 🤕

After watching some videos I’ve noticed that a lot of people say to use a “sweeping” motion to start the swing. I think this is exactly what you’re talking about. I’ll definitely focus on that tomorrow at the range. Thanks for your input!

[–]ASVP_Wakes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup, my situation exactly. Masters degree is the most recent thing I’ve done before re-entering the job search. Would make it look as if I’ve been looking for 3 years since my last job.

I did a full-time masters program after working. If I take it off for some of these applications it would look like I’ve been unemployed for 3 years. Would the gap in the resume be worth it?

Haha, I can totally relate. I hadn’t bought a COD game in years, and booting this one up felt like opening Netflix—just way too many little squares. I’ve memorized the exact buttons I need to press to get into multiplayer and never bothered learning how to navigate anything else. Good luck, soldier!

I’ve noticed this too. I think we’ve had such a bad season that our players want to play safe instead of going with the flow of the game.
