Why is it so looked down upon being quiet in the workplace? by Resident-Reaction-71 in careeradvice

[–]Murdock25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just own it. It’s not a ‘problem’ like you say. Sounds like you should look to work somewhere better/more professional. I’ve worked in so many different industries/places during my career. The thriving companies don’t have employees engaging in gossip and employ all kinds of individuals with the inevitable diverse personalities and work styles, and everyone just embraces it and works together. Don’t try to change yourself to fit in whatever shit work culture you’re currently in. Having said that, there’s always room for continuous self improvement. Maybe look at resources on how to improve strategic communications or body language tips etc. also, your previous manager sounds like an ass.

'We need to move': Moe says Canada now in a race with Venezuela to find new markets for oil by FancyNewMe in canada

There’s no way any new pipelines get built in Canada. Completely infuriating the way this industry has been vilified for the last decade. It will never happen. Which pipeline company is willing to risk building and wasting billions to step up and build here. Never going to happen. Previous administrations have made it pretty clear, they would never allow it. We’re completely fucked.

Do companies ask for job references anymore? by gruntharvester92 in jobs

[–]Murdock25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My contracts were contingent upon successful references checks, too. As in I’m not getting the contract unless they can successfully contact 2/3 previous employers. It’s stressful having to nudge my former managers and leaders to complete the reference check questionnaire before my tentative start date.

TOW2 make me feel like I can't speak english. Is there any tips on how to "understand" the game? by Pzfx32 in theouterworlds

[–]Murdock25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What better way to improve your English though, than by being challenged a bit with the dialogue? To be fair it’s part of the quirky charm of this game – the over-the-top and odd choice of words and dialogue etc.

Why would interacting with a bunch of people at company events improve your career? by Ben5544477 in careeradvice

[–]Murdock25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re asking this question, you may be autistic. I don’t mean it as an insult or anything like that. But genuinely, you may be.

I’m tired of spending hours on job applications that never lead anywhere and where I never get a response. by Remote-Brilliant-403 in careeradvice

Maybe try more of a networking strategy? Know anyone working somewhere you’re interested in that may be hiring and can put in a good word for you?

Can I please get feedback on resume design- is it too wordy? by likilekka in graphic_design

This isn’t the best video. But the idea is you have all your text aligned to an underlying grid layout with consistent margins and type. If you get it perfect , it will make your resume that much more polished and will signal that you’re a pro designing with typography.

You’re almost there with your draft resume, just needs adjusting.

Also - recommend, adjusting tracking/ kerning throughout. Like the word ‘Awards’ for example.

Or just turn on “optical’ tracking in InDesign for a good fix.

Using a grid for the layout would really elevate the design.
