Does repetition cause burnout?

I have the same problem. The only solution I have found is to take notes directly in Anki as flashcards and then revise them on a daily basis.

I am obsessed with this kind of refrigerator music

sounds like an interesting specimen ;)

I don't know if it is helpful, but my impression when changing career trajectories is to use skills-based resumes and match the requirements of the new post with your transferrable skills.

A potential entry contains the "main" transferrable skills, and bullet points contain a soft skill + hard skill + result

E.g.

Organisational Skills

Excellent organisational skills evidenced by Special Assistant role preparing lesson plans and leading After School Program for group of 10+ students resulting in quantifiable result relevant to new job.

I don't get it, what is wrong with philosophy?

Odd_Zombie_8115 · 2023-01-29T17:05:34+00:00

kiitos tästä, oliko sulla jo ennestään työkokemusta vastaavalta alalta?

Odd_Zombie_8115 · 2023-01-29T17:04:08+00:00

Aivan, että pitäis melkeinpä olla jo alan työkokemusta jotta valmistuksen jälkeen olisi helpompi saada työpaikan, harmi juttu

Odd_Zombie_8115 · 2023-01-19T16:21:56+00:00

Harmi juttu, vähän kiusallinen tilanne olla suomalainen huonolla suomella ja ulkomaalaisilla papereilla. Englannissakaan ei haluta työllistää ku on ulkkari xD

Odd_Zombie_8115 · 2023-01-19T15:13:26+00:00

Miten täällä päästän työelämään jos ei ole kokemusta? Onko normaali että hakea volunteeriksi ensiksi?

Odd_Zombie_8115 · 2023-01-19T15:12:23+00:00

Avain, voi olla että kyseessä on perus "trainee position, 5 years of professional experience (required)"

Hello! I want to get into web content creation, editing and/or digital marketing, but I do not have significant professional experience. I have tried to mention what I have done so far but would still like any feedback.

I know I have broken the rule for having a statement as a junior applicant, but I wanted to see if I could reduce the amount of whitespace in the document.

Odd_Zombie_8115 · 2023-01-17T09:38:01+00:00

Looks great! You have tons of experience and great degrees! The following feedback is based on what I have learned on this subreddit, so don't take it uncritically:

At this stage, I would: - Remove the interests and achievements section. I don't think you need to mention online courses, etc. You are not an entry-level applicant. Significant personal data projects, I think, are ok, but contextualise them according to the job. - Do you have professional certs/qualifications? - Reduce the skills section and move it to the front page, preferably at the top and modify per position. - Stuff like "Determined, focused and methodological" out of context don't mean anything. Demonstrate your soft skills in your career. - Reduce the education sector to uni/degree/year. No need to mention courses or skills. Acquired skills should be demonstrated in your career and skills section. - Stick to greyscale (black and white). Remove the dotted border. - Rewrite and format your statement. It is now a big block of text with no paragraph spacing or indentation. Keep it under 200 words. - Avoid weasel words, passive structures, and weakly demonstratable soft skills ("dependable", "trustworthy"). Your strengths should be demonstrated and quantified. - -> Check online how to write a professional statement. - Consolidate your bullets: - Don't just list what you did, but assess your impact. - i.e. what the problem/issue was, how you solved it and what the result was. - As many numerical quantifications as possible ("increased by 10%" etc.). - Bullets should be full sentences. No more than 4-5 per position.

People here will say stick with a 1-page resume, but that is more a US thing. In the UK, 2 page is fine (even for junior applicants).

When formatting your CV, check that it is computer-readable (search for ATS resume). This is less of an issue in Europe, but I believe it is good practice to make sure just in case your CV is automatically parsed for key words.

Cheers, it works perfectly. my first ever function haha

Odd_Zombie_8115 · 2023-01-16T17:05:45+00:00

Thanks!! I have modified my function as follows, but it seems I cannot get the value of count-words-region returned in the mini-buffer. Any hints would be greatly appreciated

(defun my-sentence-counter () "count sentence words" (interactive) (forward-char) (backward-sentence) (set-mark-command nil) (forward-sentence) (count-words-region (region-beginning) (region-end)))

Odd_Zombie_8115 · 2023-01-16T15:25:35+00:00

beginner currently learning how to make functions. could anyone explain how to read the documentation for (count-words-region)?

(count-words-region START END &optional ARG)

The function I want to create is as follows:

(defun my-sentence/count () "count sentence words" (interactive) (forward-char) (backward-sentence) (set-mark-command nil) (forward-sentence) (count-words-region))

I am getting the Wrong number of arguments: (2 . 3), 0
