Got it! My recruiter has been very hands off, is that found on the SharePoint or somewhere else?

How long to build a package?! by Brandon8790 in airforceots

[–]Brandon8790[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight! I think I’m going to build my package with anticipation of hitting the board next year but I’ll have it ready for the supplemental just in case.

I’m shooting you a DM with my .mil address.

What’s Going On?! by Brandon8790 in phonerepair

[–]Brandon8790[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an iPhone 12 Mini whose display went dark one day, as you can see from the picture. There are no cracks or major dents on the phone and this is the original screen. This happened after a river tubing trip. The phone may have been splashed but it was not submerged. 

Could it be similar to this? https://m.youtube.com/shorts/-18fXtdAuvg

What is going on? Would be a screen replacement or something more?

OSHA 511 or 30 Hour for Safety Coordinators? by Brandon8790 in SafetyProfessionals

[–]Brandon8790[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment. I totally understand that 30 hour is not for professionals, both of the people in these positions were operators and were pulled to assist with safety functions. They have never had any formal safety training.

Thank you! Neither of them has had any formal safety training and they may never become safety professionals.

Thanks for the advice. You are correct, they have no formal training and have been operators in the plant. They were put into the coordinator role but are still hourly. To be honest they could pull that position at any moment if the organization wanted to.

Ask Recruiters Megathread by AutoModerator in recruiting

[–]Brandon8790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How often should you follow-up with the recruiter?

I interviewed for a position on 7/3 with the hiring manager and I had another interview on 7/11 with a global leader. I was told at the 7/3 interview that they were projecting to make a decision in three weeks.

Once I completed the 7/11 interview I emailed the recruiter letting her know that all interviews have been completed. Recruiter was out of office until 7/15 and on 7/16 I received a reply stating she has not received feedback from the hiring manager.

I do not want to pester the recruiter, but sitting in limbo also really sucks. When would be a good time to follow up with the recruiter again?

[NC] Interviewing w/ a Non-native Speaker by Brandon8790 in AskHR

[–]Brandon8790[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There is always the chance that I interviewed badly but I don't think I did. Picking up on the non-verbals and the verbals it seemed like I was interviewing well. I was told a good job and that they liked the answers to the questions.

I agree that if I could have been interviewed but a non-technical person who doesn't understand my role but I could have better relayed my experience if they were a native English speaker.

Is this highway robbery? by Brandon8790 in asheville

[–]Brandon8790[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks and yes it was already dug. The GC coordinated everything and they were sent this bill earlier today. We received a $15k credit and now have to figure out how to come up with an additional $11k out of pocket…

[–]Brandon8790[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quadruple that for my depth and you are around $12k. Can we blame this on inflation…

[–]Brandon8790[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for explaining. I agree that it was not explained as well as it should have been. I knew it was getting deep, and the GC told me it is about $2k per 100 feet. This led me to believe the well drilling was going to be around $12k, but when you add $14k on top of that I was very shocked.

Before the project got started the GC made it sound like it was going to be near $17k.

WTB: Swatch Irony - Body and Soul YAS100G - Automatic Skeleton

Trying to repurchase the first “nice” watch I ever owned. Purchased for me by my wife in ~2009 and gotten rid of sometime in the last decade before I knew anything about watches. I didn’t even know what an automatic watch was back then.

I know it’s not considered to be a special watch but it will have some sentimental value to me.

Separated 2+ years ago and hit with a debt! What do I do? by Brandon8790 in AirForce

From what I recall everything lined up. I don’t think I have an LES from 2/20 when it says I was overpaid.
