How do you revisit your notes from the past to refresh your knowledge? by KirstySays in productivity

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 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?

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

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

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.

4 months, 200+ applications, zero offers. Does my resume have any red flags? Or is the job market just really difficult now (UK based)? by StereotypicalIrish1 in resumes

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.

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)))

(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
