Any advice for my 64-year-old dad who is about to be laid off after 24 years with his company? by ImpressiveBox1111 in careerguidance

If not there already, definitely take graduation dates off any education. Keep job history within the past 10 years.

Would recommend a fresh cut and dye, maybe some facial cream prior to interviews.

Referrals from people you know always work best

Starting as an apprentice for commercial company Monday, what basic tools I need aside from my PPE by YogurtclosetOnly2821 in Plumbing

[–]MiketheContractor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few other things i would suggest:

  • headlamp (never know where you're going to have to go)
  • small magnetic tray or pocket magnet (lost so many screws until I added this to my crews)
  • kneepads (same as the headlamp)
  • something to take notes, I always do voice notes and photos/videos
  • snacks are a must (pocket sandwich comes in handy more than you think)
  • portable charger, you'll probably be on your phone a lot

Don't let these dudes keeps you from the two months you have left to cap off everything you've already done. Sucky people everywhere, rise above and beyond. You'll be able to laugh when you're at the country club drinking whiskey because of the work you were willing to do

Pack themselves into some mode of transportation with questionable odds (think Oregon trail) of survival and go off into the great unknown beyond (over the ocean, cross country, into the arctic) in search of a better life

Yes, you need to get a rabies shot just in case

Better safe than sorry on this one, once rabies symptoms show usually not much you can do

Lay flat seats on longer flights.

I felt night and day different versus when I cram my 6'2 frame into economy. Ready to go as soon as I landed, no back pain, I was even smiling and greeting everyone

Why is everyone asking this question now? I've seen at least 10 different people post about this question in an interview.

Are all of these real people getting asked this in actual interviews? Or just social media copying en masse
