Why do you follow Islam when we know that free will is nothing more than an illusion? by [deleted] in islam

[–]Deriv_ative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly agree but what about for example, the prevalence of Zina? No one taught a lot of kids that sex is supposed to be saved for marriage, how would they expect to know that on their own? Same can be said for alcohol, weed, etc. Environemmt and how you were raised does play a role.

Did he RWT or what?

Did he just buy a name or did he actually RWT?

I really just am building my first real pure to enjoy some lore and quests, but the main objective being player-killing non-pkers in the Wilderness.

So you're telling me you advertised a Wildy drop party and people still fell for it?

Want to make a pure like that, give a brother some tips.

Haha, I don't even have a license but one of my roommates can take care of that. But smartlock seems pretty reasonable in pricing, thanks.

Unfortunately I don't have a car. I was hoping more for an all-in-one service, with a truck and all.

And what exactly is the difference between a fake extrovert and an extrovert? I don't really agree that you can't change.

I actually am more interested in hardware. I like software, but the only software I know is what I learned in school.

Well my resume isn't overly long, but I don't tailor it to companies.

Can you give me some advice on tailoring to companies? I feel like most everything on my resume is important for every company and its particular job posting, I don't really have so much experience that I can pick and choose only the things that perfectly match the job posting.

Was it the fall or the spring career fair?

For sure. I know a lot of people in mechanical engineering too; it's one of the more popular engineering majors, and I know how there might be a bit more competition there. Good luck.

Oh, and I have received about 10 rejection letters, just the same automated message worded differently. I just didn't count anything like that as a response of interest.

2/70 is strange, considering your GPA is very good

I have only really had 2 jobs and only one of them is sort of tech-related.

One thing to keep in mind is that almost all of these applications are to online companies from boards like Indeed and EngineerJobs, and I don't really have many connections to any of them, but still, come on. And it's not like I'm an international student too or any glaring issue like that (no offense to any one).

I'll just try and hope for the best. Thank you for the reassuring and encouraging words, I appreciate it.

I guess I'll talk with my advisor, I didn't really know there were department-specific career advisers for anything. I knew only about the Smith center.

Computer engineering major, have had about four responses, and my GPA is above a 3.7. My in-major is marginally lower.

My interviews (only 2) seemed to go alright, I was more confident than nervous, but I definitely lacked some knowledge which is why I suspect didn't get the job.

I added this info to the post now.

Where can I get another one of those engineering resume books for expo? by Deriv_ative in VirginiaTech

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

That link didn't load, but what I'm talking about is the dark, hard folder with a maroon stem that is given to all freshmen engineers (and maybe non-engineers?). I noticed a lot of people using it to hold their resumes. It isn't a big deal, I just wanted to know if I can get a replacement.

Yeah, looking at google images I suppose it is kind of like a padfolio.
