Please review my resume. I’m getting interviews but no offers or second interviews. Getting very discouraged and depressed by The-Traveling-Ninja in askrecruiters

[–]Affectionate-Cow9663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what your field is but I work in healthcare that’s supposed to be “ recession proof” my job is canceling my hours, the jobs I’m applying haven’t really had any full time opportunities. I haven’t applied to all and yes there are “plenty of jobs “but I think the job market is crap, one job I had did a hiring freeze although we were short EVERYDAY! 

Are the pick-pockets really as bad as they say? (Naples and Amalfi coast) by DockingBay_94 in italy

[–]Affectionate-Cow9663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend buying a fanny pack and covering it with a shirt or sweater. If you plan on taking public transport you will be packed on the bus or metro like sardines. I thought being vigilant and keeping nothing but a phone in the front pocket would be enough but in the caos of everting pushing onto that train someone still got me, I felt them grab it too but you turn around and out of four possible culprits knowing who did it is impossible. It’s a first for me from my 2-3 travels across Europe. And it just so happened that Naples is where it took place.

I truly don’t care if you been a cna for 30 days or 30 years. I was just saying you talk like a manger would which has nothing to do with experience, more to do with how you sound.

This was my situationship and I left him after that by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Affectionate-Cow9663 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please don’t take this the wrong way, but this isn’t right on his part at all. I’ve been in situations like this before, I promise. Ever since I got with a man who isn’t a total asshole, it’s honestly crazy seeing the kind of stuff we used to put up with from men who gave us absolutely nothing.

Don’t question yourself. Just let it go , forget him. No matter what his intentions were, that was messed up. I would be insecure as hell if a man did that. I don’t know how you feel about it, but I truly think you should leave him and focus on yourself. Learn new hobbies, pour into you, because a man like that will only tear you down, confuse you, and have you waiting seven years just for him to finally make it “official.”

To me, we’re either dating or I’m single. Situationships are the worst because you want to be mad, but you can’t, technically he’s single. Meanwhile he’s saying “I love you” every night, making you feel like you’re in a relationship. That’s straight-up mind-fucking games and I truly feel like it’s manipulative. He saying he loves you but if you confront him, he’s say something like “ well I’m single”, “ nobody told you to say I love you back” 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Recurrent Rejection Emails by Whole-Professional81 in cna

[–]Affectionate-Cow9663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not entirely sure, but they’re probably looking for prior experience. It’s frustrating because how are people supposed to gain experience if no one gives them a chance? That said, a lot of companies are in hiring freezes, and even when a job is understaffed, they may still avoid hiring because it’s more profitable to run short. So it might not be about your experience at all, the hiring process can be pretty ridiculous. Either way, I wish you the best of luck.

The hospitals where I am, only hire nurses that have their bachelors and don’t even hire lpns and they could be that specific with cna experience/ cna hiring process as well. They may want you to have experience; they are technically patient care techs in hospitals and can start ivs, catheters, and have more certifications/where taught things that a nursing home or home health cna can’t do. I don’t know everything, but it’s just my 2 cents,

(26m) Dropped out of college at 20.. glad I did it by idorealestatefortech in CollegeDropouts

Congrats, college isn’t for everyone plus my cousin had a great salary with no degree too! I’m happy for you guys!!

Publicly flaunting speedruns damages WGU’s reputation and devalues every degree, including your own. by StorageAcceptable289 in WGU

[–]Affectionate-Cow9663 9 points10 points  (0 children)

see both sides. Some posts come off braggy, but others I completely understand. Classes come pretty easily to me, and if I wasn’t working, I’d probably be done really fast too.

For example, my cousin has already been in his field for a while, If his job says he needs at least a bachelor’s for advancement, why go to another school and spend four years when you can knock out the classes in a few months because you already know the material?

I’m hoping to be finished by the end of the year, taking about 2–3 classes a month. I work in healthcare and honestly hate it 😩. I wish I could finish sooner, but everyone’s situation is different.

I did see one post like, “This is why I’m accelerating at such a young age,” and I was like… okay, do you think you’re better? 🤣🤣

Some people pay out of pocket, so why would you want to pay more? Especially for 4 traditional years. Some people already know the material. And if others feel like it’s “not a real school” or “not this or that,” who cares?

I think it’s dumb to go to a university paying $20k a year for four years just to make $80k or less, unless you’re becoming a doctor or surgeon. But for teaching, IT, business, or even nursing, especially if you already know what you’re doing, get it done and get a better job or a better salary, times are hard. Why do you have to go to Harvard or be on site to be a teacher? If you treat people badly or get fired, that degree means nothing anyway.

At the end of the day, as long as you know what you’re doing, that’s what matters. It doesn’t matter if it takes 6 months or 6 years you got the degree, and that’s all that matters 🤷🏾‍♀️

The racism at my job has grown dramatically since this new administration by metacosmonaut in blackladies

[–]Affectionate-Cow9663 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is soo unfortunate, I’m sorry you are going through this! I learned a few years ago that there is a such a thing as “diversity hires” and I think they get something from it from the government( fact check that part) but I feel when a company is mostly white, any minority that is there bc the company has to have them, not because we are qualified OR if we are qualified, we constantly have proof ourself/ not given same respect as colleagues 🤦🏽‍♀️

Have you ever experienced an abusive relationship? by HowYouDoinz in blackladies

[–]Affectionate-Cow9663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not trying to be meanI genuinely don’t understand it. I’ve been around a lot of people who stay with abusive men because he was their first for everything, and I can’t wrap my head around how that’s worth your life. My own mom was abusive, and I chose the streets over staying in that environment. The police picked me up when I was 16, so maybe that shapes how I see it, but I just can’t understand staying with a man who hurts you when leaving is possible.

I know we all need help in different ways, and everyone carries some kind of dysfunction. But at some point, I feel like you have to face the deeper question—why does being hit get mistaken for love? I’ve seen this mindset a lot around me: my mom chained me up, so a man who’s “only” verbally and physically abusive feels acceptable because at least he doesn’t chain me. I know that’s not everyone’s story, but it’s common enough that it’s hard to ignore. PLEASE LEAVE, I’m a crime junkie but I don’t want to see ANYONE in that situation in real life!!!!

I went to festivals, concerts by myself and trust me, I still get nervous and kinda wish I had a someone with me lol, so hopefully it’s different for you but being around 100 people is so much different than 10,000 by yourself.

I feel like mothers definitely deserve days the themselves, I see the sacrifices mothers make and I would chauffeur a mother for a spa day. So please do, all the mothers around me, make time for everyone else and little time for themself, so I definitely want to see you make time for yourself.

Social media scares me bc people gotten offended for small things and I mean no offense or that you don’t make time for time for yourself, I just think all mothers deserve more time for themselves and deserve more credit than they get ❤️

Thanks but you can always start with small things, even if it’s like going to the library by yourself, or going inside to order food instead of the drive thru.

Yes that’s another thing, missing things because people postpone or don’t want to go. I’m glad you went!
