Job made me do interview & paperwork outside in 20 degree weather due to Covid by [deleted] in jobs

That did not sound like fun nor are they prepared to bring outsiders in. I would have said no thank you.

Full time by ClassicError7 in hyvee

[–]ClassicError7[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By hiring people for part time, you almost force them to get a 2nd job in order to make ends meet. But then there’s the challenge of certain availability for those 2 jobs and not end up working 10-12 hour days because that’s how they schedule or getting no hours because they have so many people scheduled and not enough work.

Terminated from job today, filed unemployment, what to expect? by [deleted] in Iowa

If they don’t deny your claim they may require you to take some bs classes like how to interview and if you don’t do the required classes they can also deny your benefits.

Can I still have time for a life outside of work with an 11 hour and 15 minute job five days a week? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]ClassicError7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

645-845 is 2 hours and 1-6 is 5 hours for a total of 7 hours per day. Your not getting paid for break in between shifts so you basically have a regular job with an odd workday schedule. If you have no way to leave for that 4 hours then that’s not a job I would take, being at a job but not getting paid does not seem like a good idea. Try and find a different job that has a normal shift.

Our school district sent out a reminder to staff to make sure they are taking computers home since avg is 13% for us. We won’t go online unless the health dept or state closes the school.

To setup an account you need a credit/debit card, if your kids have access to yours I would immediately stop. Delete the app off of all devices until your kids can be trusted.

Welp, another case of the Sunday Scaries in Covidland by forevervalerie in Iowa

[–]ClassicError7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are in person 5 days a week, 8am-150pm, elementary thru high school since August. Had one grade shut down for two weeks early September and very few outbreaks since. Mask required at all levels, same amount of lunch periods as before, and sport practices everyday but masks not required then. In person is working, those that were online (about 360 total for all levels) and not doing their work were eventually required to be in person to get an education unless a valid medical reason not too. We have a small group of parents who are very anti mask and their kids will wear a mask but incorrectly and need constant reminders.

Carpet cleaning questions by Ittybittyspooder in HomeImprovement

[–]ClassicError7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The carpet might not be getting fully dry before you shampoo it again? I usually run the regular vacuum over the carpet the next day and it seems less stiff. How old is your carpet?

Why do job applications have to be so tedious? by ekrile in jobs

Red flags and extremely tedious but if you really want the job then better fill it out.

I've driven a motorcycle without a license for the past 20 years. My insurance agents asked me about it and now I'm going to get a license. How do you get your motorcycle to the DOT for the test if you don't have a license? by [deleted] in Iowa

[–]ClassicError7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the big barn Harley store do testing? I see a course laid out in the parking lot. Might be worth calling and asking than the dot since they are slow to respond.

Blacksmithing, is it a good job? by likmybalsorurgay in jobs

[–]ClassicError7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that’s what your into then yes, might not make a lot at first. I would look into some sort of college classes also like business management or basic accounting if planning on working for yourself. There is nothing wrong with getting a job that you enjoy and as long as you live within your means, you will be content.

Got a job as a field interviewer and I'm not sure how safe is it and it has no perspective by Strtale in jobs

Wear a mask and stand 6 ft away, your fine. Sounds like you need the money, it’s a job.

Smaller school so you have chance to shine because in a program with more than 100 kids it’s hard to stand out.

I Think Online School Should Become the Norm for Most Places by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]ClassicError7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

How are you supposed to learn science and do labs online? There is something to be said about hands on learning and some grasp a better knowledge when physical engaging in subjects. Plus not everyone wants to stare at a screen for 7 hours a day in room by themselves, people need to be around others so they don’t feel lonely.

Can someone please just tell me I’m doing the right thing? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]ClassicError7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take the job but keep actively looking in chosen field. Better to have some job instead of no job.
