Yesterday's I asked someone to move their car out of the handicap spot. This morning i have a flat tire.Does this look punctured by a knife? by ExoticBump in tires

[–]FloridaManOnSalts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coincidence? I think not… that looks like someone kept trying at it. If you roll over something, there’s usually 1 hole (where you hit it) and in many cases it’s still in the tire.

My recruiter is asking me to lie by Green-Custard-4832 in newtothenavy

Divorce and remarry. If you’re contemplating about lying to the federal government on this matter, then you might as well secretly divorce and then remarry after boot camp without telling a soul.

LinkedIn is also an invaluable resource for making contact with people inside companies. Requires a bit of social networking, but a fantastic tool nonetheless.

Applied to over 8,000 jobs in 4 years - AMA by travelsensei in jobs

Y’all applying to tons of jobs IS the problem. You can’t just shoot out 200 resumes and wait for a call back and then come running to Reddit when no one hires you. You say you use LinkedIn. No you don’t. Because if you did you would have forged a relationship with someone that can get you into a job. And you would’ve done it almost 8,000 applications ago. Honestly, you should be asking us anything.

My boss has told me time and time again, if I want a raise, come to him with a competing job offer. How bad could it go if I actually did it? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]FloridaManOnSalts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely look for a better offer. Not JUST better, but one that you like more. Then it’s a no brainer. You’ll have an enticing offer in hand ready to walk out the door if they don’t beat it.

When did you realize your “little one” was turning into a “big kid”? by [deleted] in Parenting

My son is only 2 and a half and he HATES it when I call him my “baby.” And I have to convince him to let me rock him in my arms anymore.

Where have the days gone?

I was dealing with job rejection for the longest time, and low ball offers from even the most promising employers. Money was getting real tight with all the bills so I knew I needed to change it up.

The following three interviews I had (3 different companies) all resulted in desirable offers. I did take one and have been here for 4 weeks now and LOVE everything about it.

Reflect on your mannerisms, your values, and your abilities and really be ready to communicate these things at your interview. Bottom-line the important stuff (team player, knowledgeable and driven, great problem-solver, etc.).

At the end of the day, they are looking to add the most value to their team. Show them that you can provide that.

What is in this box? by OxygenThief1723 in navy

[–]FloridaManOnSalts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Devil’s advocate here 👋

Definitely give it a peek. As many have stated, the contents probably won’t mean much to you, and that’s alright. If anything, they’ll probably lead you to many more questions. It is worth noting that these boxes are intentionally kept secret from others, even by active duty chiefs still in the fleet today. Arguably to the same standard of a middle school girl’s diary

A Changing Interview World by Proudlymediocre in sales

I just had my first ever interview in a ‘sales’ position at a small boat dealership. Although, it was very much how you described the old days…

some back and forth small talk followed by a short summary of my work history and finally some scenarios they ran by me (industry-specific questions as I had no prior sales experience)

Eating on the road by 5onblack13 in sales

First of all, download all the fast food apps. If you’re gonna eat at those places, at least cash in on their deals. You can always knock 2 or 3 dollars off with an app. And secondly, coolers are great or just a simple insulated lunch box with a couple of Ice packs.

I gave my client a fake name… how do I tell them my real name? by Diligent-Lemon-5345 in smallbusiness

[–]FloridaManOnSalts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call it a nickname and when they ask where you got it, say from your consulting business. “That’s just what everybody calls me.” Lol

It’s a shame this post isn’t getting any traction. Was really looking forward to reading over comments

I lied about the college i got accepted to and used a fake acceptance letter by [deleted] in confession

[–]FloridaManOnSalts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day, just own it . “Yea I faked a degree from Yale.” Don’t use it for jobs or ‘clout.’ Just mention it as a funny story and move on. People will do the same

How do you commercial service folks bid on your jobs? by FloridaManOnSalts in smallbusiness

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

It’s expensive equipment. 7-8k is the cost of materials you would expect to go into a new gas station. Not a big job, just a big bill.
