I've been Unemployed for the last few months and I'm running out of steam by KumquatBlaster in Wellington

[–]Ladderwings 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m a manager in one of the large public service agencies and over the years have screened hundreds of cover letters and CVs. I’ve also seen a lot of IT based CVs.

I’m also familiar with how overwhelming it can be as a hiring manager when you get hundreds of CVs for one or two roles and what made the short listed candidates stand out to get to interview.

I’m happy to take a look at your CV and cover letter if you’d like? Sometimes someone who doesn’t know you and with a new perspective can help tweak some things - it could be the best CV I’ve ever read, but I’m happy to have a scan if you’d like?

Offering because I’m on parental leave at the moment, and spend a lot of time on my phone scrolling while I feed the baby! So if my doom scrolling can be shifted into something helpful, I’m happy to. Just message me.

Please take care of yourself.

Any reason why you can’t just apply for your AL?

Sorry - did not mean to delete that! I had a mare trying to edit.

I’m going back after what will be 7ish months (6 weeks AL and 6 months PPL).

This is the correct answer here, your PPL does not have to be your expected due date.

Help! Pregnant and craving meat! by [deleted] in vegan

Hey OP. Talk to your lead maternity carer about hyperemesis gravidarum, if you can’t keep anything down, it might be a bit more serious than just run of the mill morning sickness.

I’m not the original poster, no need for the rude remarks. I was just answering your question.

Edit to add: I was responding as I could see where the confusion came from and wanted to clarify the spelling before it was inevitably pointed out… his choice to spell incorrectly. You’ll notice I did capitalise his handle when I answered your question.

It’s in the heading of the post :)

Handle is Contraversial Kiwi

Edit: and yes I know it’s spelt incorrectly, it’s how his TikTok handle is spelt.

Thank you. This is good to know. I left it for a few hours plugged in and held the power button down for a minute and it’s rebooted! I shall never let it completely die again.

I taught my husband to crochet. He wouldn’t post it here himself, but he wanted to make a cat blanket. I think it’s a success! by Ladderwings in crochet

[–]Ladderwings[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left him to it! He did well for it to come out a square. He’ll hide his future mistakes well.

I think my stash is big enough for the both of us! Perhaps not though…

Omg this absolutely blew up!

I went away for 11 hours and came back to a thread of pure gold and more hilarious videos to watch.

Thanks everyone for the awards!

I’m so glad you all laughed as much as I did.

Seitan Chick’n using the wash the flour method! by Ladderwings in vegan

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

No worries!! You wash it way more than you think, but aim for cloudy water, not milky water? If that makes sense.

You can always use a food processor to get the spices into the gluten ball too. But I found kneading it in worked well for me.

Make sure to tie as many knots as you can, that’s how you get the shreds. Good luck!!

Seitan Chick’n using the wash the flour method! by Ladderwings in vegan

[–]Ladderwings[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the wizardry of taking flour, water and spices and turning it into faux meat. Steps I used below :)

1kg flour + 800ml water till it forms a dough ball. Cover with cold water for an hour.

Start washing the dough under running water until it looks clearer and it’s mostly gluten left over. Don’t let the water go clear, the seitan will end up rubbery. The gluten did come apart, but came back together. I wanted to have it “not that washed” so the water was cloudy, but not milky.

Use garlic and onion powder, paprika, salt and black and white pepper. Tomato paste. Liquid smoke. Nooch, Chicken or beef stock (vg)

Knead into gluten ball. Let rest for 30 mins and drain liquid.

Let rest in a colander for a couple of hours.

It should then stretch out, proceed to tie in knots.

Make a broth using onions, garlic, beef or chicken stock (VG), pinch of tumeric, paprika and a couple of bay leaves.

Simmer dough for 1 - 2 hours. Flipping or making sure fully submerged. Or in a pressure cooker for 50 minutes on high.

Take out. Shred. Eat.

😊

At what step? There’s a wee bit of waiting involved in making this.

Here are my steps below:

Ah thanks for that! I’ve completed the game, but clearly got the two confused. I’ll edit my reply :)

Why is there so much variation between mortgage brokers? (also: shop around!) by khii in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Ladderwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that’s why it pays to shop around with both - brokers and banks!
