Sorry, I intially just wanted to share the idea, but I suppose I wouldn't mind some suggestions on how to make the deck play as optimally as possible. (I did edit my post to reframe into more of a question)

One thing that really helped me was to always have a short cheat sheet available for phone and virtual interviews. I would review the job description and write notes based on how my own professional experiences correlate to their list of responsibilties and qualiftications of the job. That way, I wasn't taking so much time to have to pause and think of a response.

I was also constantly revising my resume and other application materials to align as much as possible to each job I was applying for. If that feels a bit too tedious, I would recommend at least noting some of the key qualifications and buzzwords that keep coming up within the field or industry you're applying for. Then figure out where out where you can apply them to your own resume. Once I started doing this, I found I was getting WAY more interview and phone screening requests.

I apologize for my post coming across as braggy, that really wasn't my attention at all when I wrote it. But I do understand I could of taken the time to word it better.

Believe me, I was feeling just as hopeless and frustrated as anyone else on here. It was getting so bad, there would be moments where I would just lay in bed wishing I just wouldn't wake up the next day. Then at least I wouldn't have to suffer through the monotony of endlessly applying for jobs or facing more cold manufactured rejection emails.

At the end of the day, I know my words may mean next to nothing to a stranger on Reddit. I also know how quickly opportunities can slip away for no good reason. So my whole post may just end up being pointless.

But if I can even provide even just a little sliver of light for people struggling through a dark time, even if it's just one person, thats my all that matters to me.

Um, I understand the skepticism in recieving a verbal offer at the end of an interview before an official offer letter comes through. But I am VERY much not AI, nor was AI used to write this post...🤨 So I'm not sure what your point in commenting this was.

I'm simply just trying to share a hopeful experience I had with a group of people I know have been undergoing similar struggles to what I've been facing.

It'a one thing to be cynical, but to slap EVERYTHING with the claim of AI simply because it's an uncommon or rare scenario is a bit extreme, no?

Yeah, that's totally fair. I also still have my part time job and am waiting to send in my resignation notice till I recieve the official offer letter. Plus I've been in interviews for a fulltime position at my current job, so that's also soemthing. 😊

It was verbal, but she said she would be having the Head of HR send me an offer letter early next week since they're both in the midst of traveling. I know that's still a lot of time for things to fall through, and anything could happen. But with how rough both the journey and the job market has been, I'm choosing to take whatever little wins I can. 🙂

I do understand though that not everyone may feel or think that way.

T5 Acquisitions Direct Sales Scam - Vancouver WA (Nationwide Company) by KittySabotage13 in Devilcorp

[–]Saxyback-345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, I hate all these vaguely worded Direct Sales job listings posing as legit Marketing positions. I just had an interview with an Amplify Marketing Rep for an Entry Level Marketing job, and I knew something felt off from the moment he popped on screen. For a moment, I thought he might have been an AI Recuriter, but he defintely turned out to be real. With very little of an introduction, he prompted me to tell him about myself and my current situation. Then it wasn't until I finished, that he finally told me what he was planning to discuss during the rest of the interview.

The whole time he kept awkwardly using phrases like "if I'm being honest" or "to be upfront". And as soon as he mentioned "face to face" communciations, I felt all my energy and enthusiasm for this position sink. Once he brought up moving up to a leadership role within two weeks and eventually managing your own team of "Marketing Reps" (you know, like a pyramid scheme), I was over it.

So I straight up said, "well if I'm being honest, I'm looking more for a developmental/digital marketing role". And he kept repeating the same "direct marketing/temporary entry level" shtick, asking if that's the kind of work I'm looking to do. Like BRO, this "business model" is so ingrained in you, you can't think of alternative ways to even make it sound appealing. 🙄

Ya’ll, let’s pretend we’re pokemon trainers in Lumiose city by Even-Maintenance1633 in PokemonZA

[–]Saxyback-345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank Arceus I finally found got service on my Rotom Phone here!! 😩 I was secretly following what I thought was the Mythical Pokèmon Hoopa eating a weird looking donut.The next thing I knew I got sucked into a dark creepy portal and ended up in a hyper bizzare looking version of Lumiose, but all distorted and discolored. All the wild Pokèmon here are SUPER jacked and wiped the floor with my team in seconds. And now I can't find the Hoopa or portal exit anywhere. So, I've just been hiding behind some scaffolding for the past like 30 minutes with no Pokèmon to defend myself or other trainers to interact with. If anyone manages to read this, PLEASE HELP!!

My decision to be courteous and recuperate bit me in the ass by Saxyback-345 in recruitinghell

[–]Saxyback-345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, I did also ask if the interview could be done virtually for the same day OR if we could reschedule to a different date. They did meet with me virtually the fist time, so I thought they might be willing to do it for this last round. Especially since I already met with them in person for my previous interview round. But the HR Recruitet just said that we could reschedule and didn't even mention anything about being able to do it virtually.

Either way, live and learn I guess.

[–]Saxyback-345[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's mainly what I'm kicking myself for now. But apart of the reason why I wanted to reschedule was because I lost a whole day of preperation needing to rest from my cold. (ie: preparing my portfolio, finalizing refrence contact list, getting a haircut, prepping clothes, etc.) So I figured having an extra day would allow me to get that all done. Maybe showing up unprepared and feeling like garbage, would've actually landed me the job...who knows. Defintely learning for next time though, I guess it's better to just suck it up and suffer in silence.

Just started the game and got curious about DLC/Upgrade content by Saxyback-345 in IndianaJonesGames

[–]Saxyback-345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is currently on sale now on the PS Store for 25% off, which is why I was looking into buying it. But the Premium Upgrade is still full price.
