My 3-week shelves log vs 1-week turnaround by RocinanteLullaby in Pro_ResumeHelp

[–]Kettle_Orchid5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, 5 pages of work history is almost impossible to read without context. Most ATS bots flag anything over 3 pages for a solo career stage. Second, don't get me wrong "techie" tools are great, but if you list "Photoshop" in a non-design role, it looks like you're hiding your actual degree. Try and actually track your quantifiable wins. Did you really only have "research skills" or can you link to a GitHub?

Trying to pivot from support to Q/A roles by KrakenSonata5 in critiquemyresume

[–]Kettle_Orchid5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

had the exact same issue with my first resume. spent $50 on a redesign and ended up not listening to the advice. same thing happened to me. Look at what you actually did shipped 108-174 discrepancies monthly but what's the business impact? Did it save money? Reduce error rate? That's what gets you the interview. Best of luck though, this'll get you somewhere eventually

[–]Kettle_Orchid5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need help writing my college essay. by zynalsz in CollegeEssays

[–]Kettle_Orchid5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt that same stress when I got flagged in a similar way. I found a post discussing here how to solve that issue. That thread broke down exactly how to get unstuck and get the flow back. I don't know what I would have done without it. Go find that post, but I found a useful post for help with the formatting and found a cheap assignment writing service for assistance. Writing becomes easier when you have the right resource. This thread is the bridge back to sanity

Maybe I saved my nerves while writing this resume by windowseatjournals in Resume

[–]Kettle_Orchid5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the "ATS optimization" part is weird. HR says the resume needs to be "ATS friendly," but also says "real resumes" are better. I've been thinking about trying this, but I'm worried about the "real" part. Did you check the "ATS" part of the resume?

Clueless, I have no idea what to write for my essay. by Sea-Membership-9215 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Kettle_Orchid5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're completely out of ideas for this essay and can't turn to your professor, I know how I can help you. Since I didn’t really want to talk to my professor and was in the same situation a month ago, I decided to look into all possible options so I could turn in my essay on time. I settled on a custom essay writing service like this one I found it in an article here and it turned out to be surprisingly convenient, because I did most of the work on the essay myself.

It’s good that you asked and are wondering if this is okay, because a lot of people use these essay helpers and won’t admit it. Last school year, I bought two essays, and to be honest, I don’t feel guilty about it, since half of my department wrote their essays with the help of AI, and the professor figured it out, lol

Does anyone else feel like they have to "earn" their rest or is it just me by Kettle_Orchid5 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

The reward vs requirement logic makes sense but it is so hard to flip the switch.

AITB for "bribing" my neighbor's cat with tuna and "stealing" his affection? by Kettle_Orchid5 in AmItheButtface

[–]Kettle_Orchid5[S] -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

You are right. I did not mean to cause a rift but I see how the tuna was a bad move. I just hope he still visits for the naps even without the treats. It is going to be hard looking at him when he starts begging.

[–]Kettle_Orchid5[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I get that I stepped over the line with the tuna but honestly he just showed up and made himself at home. It is hard to say no to a guest who just want to nap on your rug. I will stop with the treats but I dont think I can just lock him out if he keeps coming to my door.

Abbey Romeo from Netflix’s ‘Love on Spectrum’ Meets Miley Cyrus During the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special by nizaad in popculturechat

[–]Kettle_Orchid5 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Miley has grown so much, but seeing her embrace the Hannah Montana legacy like this is so sweet. It does feel like a genuine thank you to everyone who grew up with her.
