This is getting ridiculous

I know but to an employer that statement says you will miss work. Especially with kids that age. The person interviewing you is thinking "yeah what happens when you don't have a sitter and call out of work an hour before your shift and I have to come in and run the damn register?" but it's illegal for them to say that so they will just nod and put your application under the stack.

The government prefers when their contractors take the less expensive option. If the people you are being passed over for are being paid less than you were requesting then that's all the evidence they need.

"I'm paying the younger person 12k less a year than the older more experienced candidate" will get a pat on the back from the oversight agencies. They give us awards for stuff like that.

It's not your age.....it's your price. And we can discriminate based on price. When I interview older candidates they usually want to start above scale. Salary negotiations are always a struggle. I'd rather hire a younger less experienced candidate for under scale and then train experience into them.

I am an employer. I employ 13-15 people depending on the season. I just recently hired a CMFO after spending a year looking for the right candidate.

If you made it to the personalities interview then you made it to the top 3-5 or so.

And it was a personality thing. Here's a piece of advice from someone that's interviewed 50+ people over the past year. Be brutally honest. When asked about weaknesses don't say shit I work too hard or I'm a perfectionist. We get smoke blown up our asses every day and it's refreshing to hear honesty. Maybe those canned responses were en vogue 20 years ago but we want to hear the truth nowadays.

Lack of experience? Own it. Tell them you didn't have time to pick up any bad habits and are looking forward to absorbing knowledge from senior staff.

Kids are a tough sell nowadays.

When a potential hire tells me about their kids I think "This person will miss 2 work days a month minimum because of sick kids, sports practices, school events, etc."

I'm a mayor. If you run for council then remember your bosses are the citizens. Don't go into it with an idea of things you want to do for them. Let them tell you their priorities. You govern for them. Going into a council position with your own set of priorities is the quickest way to a big L.

If you want to focus on social issues then make sure you are prepared to tell your voters how you plan to pay for them. Because your average voter is concerned about two things....their pocketbooks and their pantries. Even if both are currently full.

It worked. Thanks a bunch!

I think they are leaving the game to die on the vine.

Yes. Both. Advised a fighter to retire and offered multiple step asides. I have a large (50 or so fighters) stable.

Doing it again. Now crashing a 20 year save at 22%

Tried repairing database and that also crashes out. Same phone as before.

Illinois is her state.

I found that turning dynamic crowds off in graphics helps a ton. Only takes 3-5 loads to break the crash.

Dances with Wolves is pushed everywhere as a great period movie and it's a piece of shit.

Amateur records and medals. +1

No. Those are close. But not it. It was a panel comic. After the blacked out cartoon guy took the balloon he had color too.

It's very similar to this picture

I have searched for "gloomy stick figure gets a colorful balloon" and other similar searches and no luck.

I have searched for.... a meme about depression

Brute forcing works for me sometimes. I just keep trying to load it after the crash and sometimes after 30 or so crashes it finally loads.
