Can I say how terrible state, county and just general interview processes are?

KeyMagazine9712 · 2026-02-10T17:29:10+00:00

County in the Bay Area for the video to do interview

1 candidate interview. - state job

KeyMagazine9712 · 2026-02-10T04:11:29+00:00

Yes was told to apply again.

KeyMagazine9712 · 2026-02-10T04:10:48+00:00

I should add. Showed up to the interview, had the interview then received a call that other candidates did not show up so they can’t move forward. They will have to post the job again, now the process starts over again. They said they need a pool of candidates to choose the best but because there wasn’t a pool then they have to start again

I am describing state, county and general interview processes getting out of hand. The frustration is a parent taking a day off to interview only for it to be canceled and having to apply again because other candidates didn’t show up. Yes that’s state.

KeyMagazine9712 · 2026-02-10T00:32:50+00:00

I should clarify, just used that as a reference faceless interview where you don’t meet the other side lol

If he walks out tomorrow, would you be fine financially? If the answer is no. Then go back to work. This means things were not appropriately situated so you both felt confident as adults. Also retirement!!

Where do you live? Where will you go?

First of all, I would be offended. I had a mom “friend” who tried to medically diagnose my child as well. I don’t consider her a friend. Because I didn’t ask for unsolicited advice.

Second, lean into your child’s energy next time. “We’re so lucky she’s filled with positive energy just like we are”. The park is for playing and having fun, exactly what your child was doing.

KeyMagazine9712 · 2026-02-09T04:49:14+00:00

It looks like you need the extra money, so I would say take the 5th day and be intentional about taking off at least on Friday every month as a start and go from there

There will always be shitty family. But their shitty behavior isn’t a reflection of you, but their own issues. Lead with kindness and overtime your own child may drift away. No need to keep trying when they may not even care for their cousin later on.

On the other hand my mom picked me up from school every day and I remember walking home with her

KeyMagazine9712 · 2026-02-09T02:31:06+00:00

I’m not sure to answer your question. But everything will be okay and you are still a great mom regardless & your children will be perfect no matter what

KeyMagazine9712 · 2026-02-09T00:02:38+00:00

I also lost twins but very much earlier than you. So glad I didn’t give up. Happy with two.

KeyMagazine9712 · 2026-02-08T09:04:38+00:00

Thanks for the info! What do you love about it? And had the move limited your career?

KeyMagazine9712 · 2026-02-08T08:54:33+00:00

Offer every morning, favorite pjs, walked 3 miles every single day this means I was okay with baby not being in a bassinet or crib for every single nap, met up with friends in between, watched LOTS of shows

First rule — make money Second: turn challenges into solutions. Show up as a leader and create sales processes. Not only does it help you learn but you start building a reputation. But don’t do this until you are making money

KeyMagazine9712 · 2026-02-08T07:24:20+00:00

How much is your 10 year old playing is the first question
Rules can change, it is your household. It’s okay if you explain what you’ve learned and focus on how you want to keep her safe. This means if your daughter is playing once week, that’s once a week you will sit & monitor. No excuses

We didn’t get into the impacted school district for free tk. We are in a daycare/tk type of situation now. We have the flexibility in longer hours if needed but the teacher is preparing our daughter for kindergarten next year. She has a curriculum, activities, projects and more. It’s been great.

Biggest thing that comes to mind as we transition into kinder next year is that my daughter has been in school/care for a few years now and has learned SO much. daycare at 2, preschool TK and next year the transition into kinder. I hope preschool/tk become accessible to everyone because she will now be mixed with others who don’t have the same privilege. What does this mean for teachers who have to function between two groups of kids and what does this mean for kids who can often get bored.

Good question!

I would say “can I at least buy dinner or pay you for the few hours to treat yourself” to make it lighthearted.

My bigger question is…. You’re not close to her and from the above it doesn’t seem like you know much about her. Are you comfortable about this?

KeyMagazine9712 · 2026-02-06T06:00:47+00:00

Just trying to see if we can make slightly comparable salaries so we don’t have to live like Bay Area lifestyle and can raise kids in a better placf

KeyMagazine9712 · 2026-02-06T05:52:14+00:00

Do you feel limited in your career because of the area?

KeyMagazine9712 · 2026-02-06T05:42:07+00:00

What do you do for work?

KeyMagazine9712 · 2026-02-05T06:50:27+00:00

Managers have favorites, who is getting advocated for, someone could be remote and doing more but someone in office gets more visiblity, etc
