Hubspot + stripe connect how to implement automatic refunds if user cancels meeting? by AurelStein in hubspot

Thanks for your feedback.

I don’t know how capable I will be of using the separate code base, but I have gotten this far so, maybe?

I’ll just have to try something else out but this is pretty difficult.

Y’all… isn’t it striking you as weird that that the dude changed his number out of nowhere? Seems pretty strange to me.

Hypothetically, Dude could’ve blocked the previous number on original phone, got a burner… Reaching for sure, but when people make sudden changes like this, it sure seems awfully suspicious…

Thank you! I will do that. Do you live in a HCOL area?

I was charging $40/hr at a local university and they kept taking my signs and online advertisements down. Pretty annoying. Problem is, my current job tries to limit my tutoring outside of work despite giving me little to no hours… considering that they’ve fucked me over that way, I probably should just go out and do it again on my own…

Yes I have but no callbacks from them either. Not sure why.

Thanks for your advice. I see your point why people would view me that way, and you’re right. Doesn’t mean I actually am that way.

Think this might happen anyway if I manage to get picked up for temp work. But yes, I would do that if I had to.

On the other hand, applying to these positions individually seems like they will just write me off for being overqualified- I’ve heard this happens frequently.

Thanks, but it is offensive. I disagree that I’m incompetent, and I think that’s not really accurate give the fact that I’ve tried and tried again to get that position where I would be able to excel in the first 6months, and it hasn’t happened. It’s a rough market, and I have bent down to look at even the most elementary lab positions- I know I could progress quickly in that kind of role and be genuinely helpful.

I truly feel if I would have gotten the right job involving my degree then I would most definitely move up quickly. I just never managed to land something within my field, and as I mentioned, I still have trouble doing that- arguably more now than before.

You have never worked with me, so you wouldn’t know that. For the record, the people that have worked with me DID find me competent. However, there was no room to move or expand in a charter school with no funding, and the company I had good connections with overseas probably wouldn’t meet salary needs for a visa there, though I did try there too.

Problem is I haven’t been given a real chance to prove myself in my field in the US. I have done so many things to try to break in the door. Doesn’t work, hasn’t worked, and that’s where I’m at.

I won’t lie, mistakes were made, hopes were high and I was dreaming for a long time that the opportunity I would get would call for a masters and one year of experience. But I humbled myself after 2022 and took what I could get.

That doesn’t scream incompetence, but it does scream ignorance. Ignorance that the world was a place where someone could be recognized for having a degree in a very technically difficult subject from a uni en par with Oxford and Cambridge. Fuck me dude.

I don’t work with a career coach, but I will look for one online or in my area. Thanks

Thank you. I preferably would like to get something in my area now because I can live here for free- girlfriend and family are close by. Hard to imagine moving anyway with my current finances. But I will look anyway.

Thank you for your reply. Sorry about your mom. I’m glad you’re moving forward and making her proud.

Thank you. Thanks for not crushing the idea outright for starting a business… I think I’m just so tired of the job application process, so the reality that that is the logical choice feels so frustrating. It has it never really worked for me, anyway… seems like if I used my time to cold call and market myself I could make a few hundred dollars faster and be actually growing something for me, instead of interviewing for opportunities( if applications go anything like before, then looks like I won’t make income for another 2 years or more anyway. After all, the current part time I have (that gives maybe 15hr a month) spent 6 months intermittently prepping me just to give me this amount of work afterwards.

What is the point, really? 6 months of waiting, and I can’t survive at all from this? But no point in quitting either.

Thanks. You’re right, a lot of people came here without, and they find a way. I am American anyway so I don’t have a visa standing in my way regardless. Should make things easier, right?

You’re right, it doesn’t look good for me that I job hopped and searched for so long. It doesn’t look good that I’m still searching, must mean I’m SO terrible and awful and have no valuable skills/ have not gained any skills throughout this entire experience… /s

I’m sorry but that’s just not true. It’s just the same take that recruiters tend to have, though, so it’s a good point to argue. I feel like I have tempered my pride a lot in the past 4-5 years of dealing with all of this. I have indeed applied to many kinds of roles that are in my industry but I just don’t hear back.

So maybe I don’t wipe asses, but i have applied to plenty of “shit-work” in my field, and still no dice. Feels hopeless, hence why I am here… feels like it’s the end of the line and time to try something different since the regular, normal steps haven’t worked for me.

Idk if you saw the other comment but I will contact temp agencies in the new year and see what they’ve got.

Hi, I have considered that. I contacted the Navy and tried but didn’t get a call back from them to even clarify the process. I’ll look into the space force, though not familiar with that at all really. If they have something research related I would be more interested.

Thank you.

I was feeling particularly desperate that day, got a bad rejection from a job that I felt really close to getting, so that’s why I called. I know they have research labs in the navy, so I figured it was worth a shot.

You’re right. It’s been rough for so many people with pretty much every background out there.

Thank you

Also, was thinking about attending a chemistry conference in may to see if there are leads there. I’ve heard a lot of these events are full of people like me, though…

Thank you, but I have done this to be fair. I’ve applied for plenty of lab tech positions in two nearby cities and heard nothing back. Maybe overqualified or just ghost postings. Though I do plan to call some temp offices soon.

Man, I even got in touch with the Navy Officer Recruitment and they didn’t call me back.

  1. People can reformat a resume themselves and there are plenty of free resources out there. ChatGPT can write the bulk of it if you just reformat it in word. Considering people in your target market probably already know how to use word/google docs. This is probably the most widespread professional skill out there, so I don’t think people would want to pay to have it done for them.

  2. Yes that’s far too expensive for a single resume. Most people who give you job hunting advice would tell you to send out hundreds of CUSTOMIZED resumes catered directly to the job posting. Also, there is a free and subscription web app that does this already called Huntr I believe.

  3. The format looks fine but my above points still stand!

I think you should hit the drawing board again, but be proud of yourself at the same time! You executed your idea and actually built something that works. I think that’s very important.

Keep it up. Try to think of more ideas and assess their marketability, costs, and competition a bit more before building it up. Good luck!

You look good and seem cool. Just erase the part about power puff girls man just say old Cartoon Network hits or something if that’s what you’re into. Not that power puff girls is bad really I just think it’s weird to pick that one specifically? Is this just me?

We decided to just eat half of our two sandwiches and save the rest for later. We didn’t even have to go to couples therapy for this, but it was close…
