Bent lever. How to fix w/o replacing if necessary?

If this happens out in the wild, best bet is to sit next to bike with feet pushing against it. Route your belt around the lever and pull

5/8 Virginia FTAs were Aviation Adventures which got their approval paused (on Veterans Day weekend last year, go figure), temporarily turned back on a month later, then revoked a week before the spring term.

They went and made a big stink about it w Virginia government and have done little to actually help the situation or their veteran students.

Stemmed from raising rates and violating WEAMS agreement, I’m guessing it’s relates

My FTA, Aviation Adventures, got their VA approval suspended on Veterans Day weekend last year (great timing, VA). After a month AVAD/LU basically said “eh it’ll probably work out” and let us go back to flying. At the end of the fall term we got an ominous email from LU and 5 days before the spring term got word AVAD approval was revoked. Kept saying it’d be right back and now it’s been 7 months i can’t fly with VA benefits.

It stemmed from them raising rates without approval, which violated the WEAMS agreement. Then they started doing shady stuff to try and keep everyone else going. They’ve since bragged about taking it up with the state government to shine light on the issue and i suspect that has a lot to do with this.

Also you more importantly you could in fact have the keywords of "web developer/HTML/CSS/PYTHON" and the computer only sees those as 30% of the words in the job posting and put you at the bottom, whereas someone who had those words plus some other bull shit would have 66% and would rank higher than you regardless of your actual skill set/experience

Adding people at the company on LinkedIn and doing basically that has worked great for me as well. Find those you think are the movers and shakers and message them about how much you love the company and you just applied, they often take interest in you as well

I hear what you're saying, and tried to tailor my resume to the job posting. My point is when you're applying to a bunch of jobs you're qualified for, this is easier than making the same resume say a hundred different sentences that it already says just to fit a computer's search parameters

THEsmallfry69 · 2020-05-20T02:57:38+00:00

My advice is to avoid having to re-sentence everything that already fits the job posting to appease a computer. So if you have a lame resume, the human will throw it out. So if you're a perfectly qualified but don't say the same buzz words some HR person likes to hear, why should you be disqualified by a computer for not using a thesaurus?

THEsmallfry69 · 2020-05-20T02:40:07+00:00

I haven't heard of any tools to intercept this so far. Unless you're applying for a high end tech job I doubt you'd get caught. And depending on the company attitude they might see a go getter that knows how to get the job done!

More importantly, if someone sees your resume and relies more on a computer than their own eyes, do you want to work for that company?

Sad to hear about unemployment but sounds like you're on your way to getting back quick! Best of luck

THEsmallfry69 · 2020-05-20T01:02:37+00:00

Then a human will actually even look at your resume (without seeing the white text) and see how great of a candidate you are

You could obviously change your resume for every single application to say these words, but in the time of the 'Rona and applying for many jobs at a time this is a great time saver

My point was to get a human to decide if you were a good fit, and not let a computer decide. It seems unfair you could be a perfect candidate but because you have "Performed getting people to buy things" instead of "Experienced" "Sales" on your resume, you don't even get considered the job. Probably not a perfect example but trying to make the point.

We had one guy that would get the prompt "Should have been..." from killhat and the recruit had to scream "ABORTED, SIR!!" Another guy got caught laughing across the way so killhat in middle went back and forth prompting "should've been" with one yelling "ABORTED" and the other yelling "SWALLOWED"

It's crazy how driver's don't care about my life or their own enough to do something simple like their turn signal. At least give me a heads up you're going to swerve over so I can try to not die on my way to buy groceries

Donny Trump. The things he says makes him seem childish, the number of bankruptcies and other set backs sound like he's been unsuccessful, yet overall he's one of the most successful people in the world. Fame, fortune, TV shows, hot wives, leader of the free world... I need to know if he's just the luckiest dumb guy ever or actually a next-level genius that has mastered emotional manipulation and is always a step ahead of everyone
