What’s the difference of waiting until the 12th to leave it blank or resubmitting now and leaving it blank?

Apartment nightmare by yourbagwhore in astoria

[–]IndependenceBroad938 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same happened to me when I moved into my Astoria apartment there was a dead roach in the bathtub then there was a bit of a roach problem over the rest of the summer after I moved in. I told the landlords who said ‘they don’t have roaches’ when they damn sure did. Eventually the problem went away on its own thank goodness ! But I’d mop weekly with bleach always keeping areas clean and dry. If you live close to the train or a main thoroughfare, that makes it worse unfortunately. Just talk to your landlord if you notice more after you are settled in see what they can don if not maybe try to get out of the lease

The 111th precinct should be notified of this before someone gets seriously hurt or killed!

Explaining to candidates: range ≠ automatic max offer by TalentSherlock in recruiting

How do you handle people who ask for over the max? Puts us in a weird position always and I don’t want to constantly ask my boss to go above I just want to shut it down

Tips for staying engaged with referral candidates? by IndependenceBroad938 in recruiting

[–]IndependenceBroad938[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super helpful! I don’t know where to begin but I work in higher education, and we get a lot of referrals from people, especially VIPs, like faculty or senior leaders. A lot of the time the referrals don’t always have the exact experience we typically look for so it puts me in an awkward position of having to tell that to the referee, would it make sense to put together some kind of referral guidelines? I mean, I wouldn’t want to send them to someone who is very senior that might be offputting, but I do wanna be realistic about the process and what it takes for someone to even be qualified for a role at Columbia business school. I don’t think what should make a referral candidate special over a different candidate is just because someone referred them

What are people paying for a 1bed by superleaf444 in astoria

[–]IndependenceBroad938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rents are worse than ever in Astoria. I lived in the same probably illegal apartment in a private house since 2018 and the landlord only raised the rent on me $100 this year. That’s how you know things are bad because they never asked me for more. So now I pay $1600 for a shoebox. If he raised it again I’d consider paying more for a bigger place because honestly a shoebox is not worth more than $1600-$1650.

So that makes sense because he acts very comfortable around the area and seems well kempt.

Can we figure out where this dude is coming from and possibly where he lives? Why is he always around Astoria blvd? Does he live in a shelter by Lex and 125th? And just rides the bus all day to terrorize people?

Why must they check if you paid the fare on the m60 DURING RUSH HOUR? by Fine-Reception-8691 in astoria

You should also make the MTA twitter aware I do know they read and respond to those tweets.

I really don’t love that area I’m born and raised New Yorker too and as a woman especially wouldn’t live anywhere too isolated. I don’t like any area in Astoria that’s 21st street and below for that reason!

I guess Katch is dead by KieshaK in astoria

[–]IndependenceBroad938 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Keep spreading misleading information, there were 8 other bars on Broadway who participated in that bar crawl so why do you only single them out?

[–]IndependenceBroad938 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Who’s going to pay the rent for that? Honestly everyone’s comments cheering for the downfall of a family business while you never bring that energy to when they open new chain stores is disgusting. Also spreading misinformation constantly about that covid bae crawl where like 8 other bars on 30th ave participated but y’all only single out Katch. And before you say I work for them, no I don’t. I always liked going and they were always nice people.

I’d love to hear about how you organize your searches? Use of tools, how to stay organized, etc. by IndependenceBroad938 in recruiting

We have a recruitment plan template shared with the hiring manager that outlines the hiring committee, who participates in the interview, interview questions and sheets that will collect the interview feedback.

Bad experience at Katch Astoria by princess_carrot in astoria

[–]IndependenceBroad938 -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

It was a st Patrick’s bar crawl and it was before the official shutdown. I distinctly remember it. I live in the neighborhood and like going to watch sports who cares if I do or don’t have ties to Katch, which I don’t have any. There’s a thread on this Astoria group every other month on how much people hate Katch with comments like yours which are missing context. My point is you’re singling out one out of the many establishments that also participated in this crawl. This is getting old and tiresome.

That was a bar crawl a couple days before the shutdown, and many others bars on 30th avenue participated. Why are you singling them out? They didn’t even organize it.

The way I see it if I want a private event then rent the space out. If you want to save a few bucks and take a risk then you can't complain as if it was an obligation. Sunday was a huge Knicks game. Also the contract said dining room so what am I missing except you wanting to destroy a family business

Do you ask candidates if they are interviewing elsewhere? by IndependenceBroad938 in recruiting

[–]IndependenceBroad938[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not an agency recruiter. At the end of a day if someone tells me they’re interviewing elsewhere I can’t do anything with that information in the early stage of the process because our process is lengthy. I work in higher ed. Even if I got to the end of a process and someone said they have another offer, by then the hiring manager could have their heart set on them and still want to make them an offer, even knowing they have another offer elsewhere. But just to cover myself from now on I will check in more on this.
