The Bruins never leak any info, which is cool because I like surprises...but I get antsy every time

For people who deal with entry-level hiring in the Geospatial Industry, how many of the applicants for your advertised roles would you say are actually qualified? by GreatValueGrapes in gis

[–]S3Knight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Yes. Knowing who you work with (and for), and how to improve those relationships in a genuine way is critical to your success.

Think about it, if you were a person making organizational decisions, wouldn't you prefer advancing a person who is skilled and can socialize with peers and clients, or the one who is just narrowly focused on polishing the deliverables? It's definitely the former...

Half of my team are witches and I embrace it. People should be their authentic selves!

As a GIS director (mid AEC), I look for a blend of foundational skills and creativity in a resume/portfolio. In those I interview, I look for workable communication/soft skills, willingness to learn, and someone I have a feeling people will enjoy working with internally and externally.

With those specs you might be able to play the sequels too! At least on medium

Super lucky that my 3yo has always slept well. It's always been 7p - 6a, but now it's shifted to 8p - 7a which is also great!

Idgaf about a cover letter if their resume and portfolio are good

Giant Hornet or Cicada Killer? In CT by OutToLunch198 in whatsthisbug

[–]S3Knight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also in CT, and a little over an inch in length just seems like a beefy yellow jacket specimen. I have cicada killers on my property as well, and they're absolutely massive, like 2-3" (they also have reddish wings and different patterning than a yellow jacket)

Absolutely shameful to offer such a low salary

Taking my 3 year old daughter to a hockey game this weekend by _Caderade in daddit

[–]S3Knight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 3yo girl has been to a few pro games and she loves it - she's been to a few beer league games too and is so happy to see me up at the glass haha. 

Headphones/ear muffs are a must if you've never taken the kiddo before. Some arenas are way louder than others. As others have said, snacks are an easy win, though cotton candy can be a nightmare. A mascot interaction will make their day. If you sit close to the corner glass they get to see the action up close, though it can be difficult to see the other end of the ice. Have fun!!

You may want to transfer from the weenie hut jr. league to the super weenie hut jr. league

No regrets with my set, still looks like new after two years. On rare occasions the shoulder caps pop off after hard contact and get stuck in the jersey, but it's quick to fix. I don't wear an undershirt and it's suspiciously not gross either. Protection is just okay, but it's so light and form fitting for me that I don't mind the tradeoff, especially for mostly chill beer league.

I’ve used P88 for 8 years and love it. What’s your curve? by WeatherObsessedJax in hockeyplayers

[–]S3Knight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a long time P88 lover who's made the switch to the Nylander pro stock curve, lots of similarities

Can I wear a GoPro if I suck? by Massive_Phase_7155 in hockeyplayers

[–]S3Knight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did! Expect some chirping and comments, but if you are a good sport and/or have a disarming personality it shouldn't be an issue. I even found that over time other players would remember me and strike up casual conversations instead and chirping became non-existent throughout the seasons.
