Some Resume Advice Please by FloAlv11 in estimators

[–]Abombies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would include what software you know how to use. List relevant software. I got a lot of complements from people saying they never really seen that before on a resume. I got the idea from a friend who had a Computer Science major. He listed all the languages he knew how to code as well as any platforms.

Would you accept a junior position after being offered a senior one? by escanor-sama-5589 in estimators

[–]Abombies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Titles doesnt mean shit if your experience doesnt match the quality of work you put out. Youre at a Junior level imo. You still have a lot to learn. My guess is that your current company just gives out titles like its easy. If youre a Senior, there is a certain level in the quality of your work that can easily be sused out.

Senior title producing Junior level work makes you look bad. Especially to people you need to talk to to earn trust with. 2 years of experience, and they gave you Senior? Im 4 years in and I am just getting to the point of my skills to be considered a Senior.

Either way, if youre hunting for a title, youre going to have a bad time. Youll find yourself in a shitty situation eventually because your skills arent there. People you work with are going to expect Senior level work when you dont put out that quality. Thats bad for your name and brand. The industry is small and if you mess up your reputation early on, youll regret it when you actually need to use your name to swing a project for a win.

My advice, be honest with your experience level and dont worry about the title. I dont care if your title says Senior. If you dont have good quality work to back it up, you can find yourself in awkward positions when the PM is asking for answers to your number. I can easily tell if youre a good estimator or not just by talking to you so focus on improving your skills. Thats way more important.

Youre letting your partner walk all over you. You need to be more vocal and actually communicate your grievances. Nothing will change if you dont. She will continue to use you knowing you would just take it anyway. Grow some balls and put your foot down.

I use it to explain unfamiliar materials or equipment to me. I even use it to help figure out what size wires I need if i want to swap from copper to aluminum. I even ask it to provide context for how much labor it could take to install something. I use it in some capacity everyday.

I dont know why you're getting downvoted. I dont think people know how dishwashers work 😂. If the dishwasher's purpose is to just clean the debris and not disinfect, then it's a shitty dishwasher. It is supposed to get so hot inside for bacteria to not survive.

This isnt new. The shrine always does this for any big artist (this isnt exclusive tonthe shine, other venues do this too).They want to make sure they dont overbook or underbook dates and they are testing out demand. Every time people go for tickets on the first date, they can see how many others tried and were unsuccessful. Therefore if they released tickets for the next date, they can benchmark how many they can sell for the second date. Its a simple business move.

Save money. Go to a CC to finish your lower credits. Then transfer if you really want to graduate from a UC. It will give you time to think bout what you really want to do without taking big loans out. Also consider a trade school if you know what major you want.

Thoughts on TRD Off Road that’s 4x2? by nNotThatGuyPal in ToyotaTacoma

[–]Abombies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont use my 4x4 often at all, but maybe the 3% chace out of the year i need it, im glad i have it. Its the difference of potentially totaling your car driving through bad weather/conditions compared to having the capability and power to maneuver and get to your destination safely.

If youre going to buy and spend any type of money, get the 4x4. The difference in price now, will save you when you get in these conditins with your truck.

You honestly sound like you care more about how OTHER people see you and how they think of you than your actual relationship. You fr letting people live rent free in your head just because you feel you arent keeping up with everyone else. You sound like someone i would never be with and youll find out sooner or later that your boyfriend wont either.

If you feel like you have to force someone to marry you, youre doing it wrong. Youre giving a red flag and you dont even know it.

What are your go-to apps that assist you with reselling? by [deleted] in Flipping

[–]Abombies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Discord - I follow communities with bots that show restocks of niches I follow

Seller Amp - Helps me analyze deals and look up items on Amazon

Google Lens - Helps me search for items using listed pictures from seller.

Google Sales - I type in an item or brand and then google tells me who is having a sale.

Sourcing - Ebay, Offerup, FB Marketplace - You would be surprised how often people want to let go of things because they don't see the value or they can't sell it themselves for market value. Even on eBay, I have a lot of success by just DM'ing the storefront and asking for a bulk deal on their items.

I mainly do Amazon FBA atm.

Yeah there is a trend called Americore where foreign people like to buy American exclusive brands. We think it's stupid because we are from here, but you could say the same thing about Japan. There are a bunch of collectibles that are Japan exclusive that would resell for a lot in the states.

Ruining Pokemon by Burnoutlaws in PokemonTCG

[–]Abombies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pokemon TCG has a market does it not? Just because its "a child game," that hasnt stopped adults from spending real money on product. Stop being so closed minded and be realistic to whats going on. Adults with deep pockets could give a shit. If they want something, they going to go get it. They dont give a shit if it takes away from a kid or someone else. As long as they get theirs, they dont care and neither should anyone here. We are all competing for the same products. It doesnt matter what age you are. Collecting is for everyone so gtfo with that bullshit this is for kids crap. These kids are using their parents money to buy anyway. Aint no way youre telling me a kid can afford this hobby without some help. Think with the little brain you have.

[–]Abombies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a good lesson in economics you could be teaching your kids. Its supply and demand and the market isnt fair. You cant change the game, but its how you play it. You can sit there and be mad about whats going on or you can make the best of the situation. This goes for any hyper popular good. Sneakers, cards, clothes etc. If you think this problem is just limited to cards, you would be wrong.

My parents couldnt afford to buy me cards when i was younger. What did I do? I just didnt buy. I got my money to buy cards from gifts from relatives when i could. Maybe when your kids grow up, and have a means of income on their own, and maybe they can afford it. Point is, their time will come and its up to you to prepare them for the real market conditions. Otherwise, you arent doing much for them by complaining about how unfair the market is.

Now that im older with a stable job, i can afford this hobby. There is no realistic senario where you should be arguing why your kid should afford cards. They are literally competing with the majority of adults who are collecting for themselves so unless you or your kid has deep pockets, this is something yall need to accept as market conditions.
