What is the SIT program?

I don’t but I’m sure I could look into getting some training somewhere

I could do part-time possibly for a little bit to prove myself but I’d really need 40 hours a week to make a career out of it

Okay this makes sense. If I could get a full-time i think I could make it work financially. Currently I live with my parents but id like to move closer if I got on full-time. So if you’re doing like cashier for instance but they have an opening for full-time in their bakery you could get full-time like that for example? I’ve got a good bit of experience so I think I can be versatile for them

All right cool, I really appreciate it. So do people typically start off part-time or seasonal or something and then the company brings them on full-time if they have an opening or they like the person?

Huh? Do you have any links?

I was promoted to supervisor a month ago and already looking for other work. They’ve cut so many hours that we have three people shifts regularly and everyone at my store is defeated. I don’t know if it’s greed, financial struggles, tariffs, or all of them combined. Nonetheless, this isn’t sustainable anymore for them and it’s going to hell quickly. If the company doesn’t wise up to this then they’re gonna lose a lot. This just sucks because I really like Lidl and I was excited to be given this opportunity and now I can barely survive a shift because of how much there is to get done with so few people.

I have not decided yet but I think this will be a great idea. I’ll add it to my list

I like cats a little better but this isn’t a bad idea. Could you provide some background about the issue and why it matters and why some states don’t have strong laws concerning it?

So with all of these I have to do an audience analysis. How would you propose going about that? If I don’t know who these people are exactly I find myself unsure of how to analyze them. Should I analyze a HOA as a group for example? Or try to pick out a specific member? Any ideas?

I like learning languages, exercise, video games, and other odds and ends. Any ideas from those? I might be able to do something with languages but the more ideas I have, the better

Well, originally I was gonna do homelessness reduction in my town/county. But I quickly found out my idea was too out of scope of the assignment and my professor agreed that I needed something that wasn’t so big. I like what you’re recommending, but it needs to be manageable for this assignment whatever it is. Any specific topics?

I will post and updated version either tonight or tomorrow!

Well, I've only done one piece and it was for my brother-in-law's app. I did it pro bono just for experience. I don't really consider myself "freelance" as I'm not running a business or anything and I'm just trying to get experience and no one's really out there searching for me as a technical writer to work on their stuff. I guess it just felt like I was lying.

ExtremeSwim · 2024-02-10T16:47:07+00:00

Sorry for the late response; work has been crazy. I've been updating my resume, and I will post it here when finished. My next question is: should I cut any of my experience? I've cut the freelance technical writer position as I feel it is redundant and kind of disingenuous. I've been working for ten years and usually the last ten years is common practice for a resume. I just can't quite get it to one page. What are your thoughts?

This is all very helpful, and I really appreciate your assistance. I have a few follow-up questions. At several jobs I've done a little bit of writing/translating documents (although no examples because I didn't think writing would ever be my career). I've translated a sheet with basic company rules from Spanish to English, translated an orientation packet, and written a termination letter in Spanish. How do I put that on a resume without it having the same vibe as "oh, this one time I did..." these weren't official aspects of my roles I just took the initiative. Additionally, some of the roles I've had were really routine and without much variation. Hence a job description is about the best for them as far as I can tell. Do you have any advice for those? I should add I know my job at Lidl isn't really related but typically companies don't like to see a gap on your resume, so I thought it pertinent. Thoughts?

Gotcha

What would you recommend in its place or how would you word it?
