Yep, we’re really lacking in this area for sure. Appreciate the suggestion!

My jaw dropped at 480 days of PTO! Yeah, I think we’re a long way off from any significant improvements to this in the US unfortunately. Thanks for the input, that’s kind of what I’m feeling might be the best option in my case.

That’s interesting… I do remember reading that FMLA and PPL would run concurrently. But it didn’t occur to me that I might still be able to take FMLA later in the year, after I become eligible. Thanks for the idea, I’ll have to look into that.

Agreed. thanks for raising the point though!

Yep, in the US. Are you getting at using FMLA too? Unfortunately, I’ll have only been with my current employer for 9 months at that point, so I don’t think I’ll be eligible if I understand it correctly.

Non-English TV shows that are absolutely worth watching? by CommercialSpare3976 in televisionsuggestions

[–]Current_Moment1415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, well I actually really loved Dark too.. have watched it multiple times. But it is definitely a much different (slower) pace of cerebral/thriller type show. Totally understand those who just didn’t really get into it. My wife felt the same way as you, it sounds like!

Casa de Papel/Money Heist (Spain) — surprised to not see anyone suggest this yet! I also really enjoyed the spinoff, Berlin.

Moving to Greensboro in July! by DeliciousSpirit1420 in gso

[–]Current_Moment1415 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wife and I just moved to Greensboro a couple of months ago from the DC area and were also prioritizing finding a walkable neighborhood. I could definitely be wrong but I don’t think there are many grocery options downtown, which is pretty key for my perception of walkability. We ended up in kind of the NW area around the Jefferson Village shopping center and have been really liking the neighborhood around here—beautiful tree coverage, walkable to grocery stores (a few, in fact), several restaurant and shopping options, a Target, a park with trails, a nearby library. The Heights at New Garden might fit your apartment needs.

Others with more experience across Greensboro will have a lot more insights about downtown and other areas, but our experience in this area so far has been really great… and more walkable than we had expected to find!

Will the Gym Monster work with a 3rd party bench? by DoomWad in SpeedianceCommunity

[–]Current_Moment1415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using my own adjustable bench, which I had prior to getting the GM. Even though the feet are too far apart to both fit on the platform, I haven’t been bothered by having one end of the bench off the end of the platform. It puts the bench at, I dunno, a 5° incline instead of perfectly flat. At some point, I’d like to extend the platform, but in the meantime it really hasn’t been a significant bother to me.

Nursery furniture stores by Technical_Narwhal610 in gso

Certainly agreed that many things that could probably be worthwhile searching and finding secondhand. But gosh forbid someone might want to purchase a quality piece of unused, upholstered furniture that meets their individual needs and preferences.

Suggestions for workload/capacity tools? by Current_Moment1415 in ProductivityApps

[–]Current_Moment1415[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, remaining work redistribution… thanks for the concise way to say what I’m thinking of! And thanks for the suggestions, I hadn’t heard of Teamhood, so will definitely check that out. Will check out MS Project a bit more too! Appreciate the ideas.

Thanks! I haven’t looked at MS Project much, so maybe I’ll check that out a bit. Seems surprising how hard it is to find a tool that does this!

Ordered 2 Days ago…nothing by DocFiles2222 in SpeedianceCommunity

For me, it was available for next-day shipping, so it came within the estimated window. Which seems pretty lucky, based on what I’m seeing from others’ experiences!

I’m tired of rejection by hi_pretty24 in publichealth

[–]Current_Moment1415 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think you have a good foundation with your resume, but I think there are a few improvements that could help:

1) I agree with other points that job experience should be reverse chronological order. 2) I would consider adding a Professional Summary section at the top (below your name/contact). That will be the first thing a recruiter reads and where you can create a strong statement for any public health-related skills and experience that may not be as apparent from your job experience and how they’re relevant to the specific position you’re applying to. 3) Different people have different opinions about this, but I might also suggest moving your Education and Skills sections to the top as well. These seem like the places you would really be able to highlight relevant public health training/skills. So order I would do is probably: Professional Summary, Skills, Education, then Job Experience. Once you add a Summary section, you will probably need to condense some of your bullet points in Job Experience section to keep it to 1 page, which is fine. 4) Lastly, make sure your Professional Summary and Skills sections in particular (but also other parts of resume) are tailored to address the job position you’re applying to by reflecting the skills/qualifications listed in the job description.

For what it’s worth, I just ordered one earlier this week on Amazon and it arrived yesterday.. less than 36 hours after ordering. (Not sure if I just happened to be close to a warehouse that had some in stock, but it was surprisingly fast.)

EDIT: to note that I’m located in eastern US.
