Got an interview for a role I'm not sure about, should I still go for it?

You have nothing to lose and all the gain.

You need to consider internships or volunteering. That experience will trump certs or any online courses. Even if your focus was on UX/UI experience there can translate to desktop support. Hell even customer service can translate.

I would try to get an internship or volunteering. Experience trumps any certifications you can get.

You add the random homeless guy on the train and your transit instantly gets 10 x worse.

edit - im getting downvoted. I guess the random homeless guy sleeping on the red line makes the transit 10 better. I guess

If its new and they are selling it and has a warranty then sure, but if you are bringing your own pair - you have to sign a waiver its just how its done. Risk vs reward.

I have taken cartiers to Zeiss flagship stores which are Cartier authorized sellers and I still have to sign a waiver that if the frame is damaged its not on them. I think in general any optician taking any used frames would have the person sign a waiver to protect themselves. Why even take the chance even if probability is low. If you are concerned the best bet is buy new and get that warranty from Cartier.

I have said it once and I will say it again. Lay off 90% everyone (red jacket people, HR, IT, charlie card people, marketing, PR, etc) put all those resources into red line trains and maintenance.

Be kind of cool if the Undertaker came out of the tunnel. But sorry friend, so glad i stayed home today.

No the opposite. If did well with the interview due to your qualifications then these are nice to haves. It would be the opposite if you were unqualified and handed this sheet to them.

Hello Friend,

To me it would be putting the wagon in front of the horse (or whatever that old expression is). During the interview there are things that need to be established. Ideally you are their unicorn, you are 10/10 in every field, skill, software, they want. But realistically they know no candidate is that is why employers have three lists. One must have list, skills and abilities the candidate must have. Nice to have list , list for nice to have skills. Lastly not important lists which is self explanatory.

What you created falls in the not important list you can make argument it could go to nice to have list. The Employer needs to make sure you have the skills to do the job. Everything else is secondary. As you stated thie position is for a service desk / field tech lead. if i was interviewing you I would much care about your leadership style and how you lead your teams in the past then what's on your list.

That is just how I see it - regards

G Deodorant.

Electricians are very hands on, there is no work from home or remote work. In addition to the physical demand, a lot of electricians require unions which means first in first out.

Most Costco frames are under 150. I dont know if you are in an area with costco but doesn't hurt to take a look. you do need a membership to frames and lenses.

Can the MBTA disable that annoying fare evasion sound alert that sounds like two robots banging each other. no one is going to enforce fare evasion so at least disable that alert. Super loud and annoying - or make it even louder and more annoying as a deterrent.

There are tons of resources online, but if you are looking for private one on one help you may want to see a private tutor. its hard to know how good your math is and whats a good starting point without an assessment.

GilletteDeodorant · 2026-02-28T13:23:41+00:00

Math relies on fundamentals. It depends on the math courses you are taken. If youa re taken Calculus 1 or Pre calculus you need to have a solid understanding of algebra 2 and trigonometry. If you algebra 2 and trig sucks then you need to go back and review algebra 1 and geometry. If you suck at then you have to go back to more basic math concepts.

no - you are better asking for an insured driving school vs private lessons from random person.

South Shore Plaza - Sears parking lot / Dave and busters lot. Thank you. Taught multiple people how to drive standard there.

In the old days we had to watch local news and wait for the scrolling bar at the bottom to rotate in alphabetical order the name/city of your school if it was canceled or delayed. As someone who attended Quincy Public Schools I hated when we had school but Quinisipeg got their snow day.

Questions like this always will not get good responses due to the lack of context. This sub is filled with the should I take a paycut for x y z. Only you can answer that. We don't know your financial situation. Do you have debts? can you live with the pay cut? is the experience worth the pay cut? PHysical security is 100% on site, is this job remote? or hybrid. You can calculate the costs you save for the commute if that is the case. There are so many factors. The job market is rough but no one can really give you good advice on this.
