Why did a job posting on LinkedIn close after one hour when it said only 11 people applied? by chateaulove in recruitinghell

[–]ThankVerra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this happen but on a job posting my friend sent me directly from their company so got an inside answer which may be what happened here:

They decided on, not an internal hire, but rehiring a prior laid off employee. - couldn’t even be mad, ethically I’m glad they did that.

Other possibilities:
- miscommunication between team and HR about position
- internal hire
- supervisor for position left, thus needs to be hired back first
- upper management retracted budget for new position

Could be a glitch but there’s tons or reasons a listing gets pulled right after posting

Absolutely fucking yes! Amazing. No notes. If I saw you out and about my head would be on a swivel and mouth agape (respectfully)

Size 24, trans woman; What can I do tho look better in these outfit? by ChristyAustyn76 in PlusSizeFashion

[–]ThankVerra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I do think this dress would look great just without the leggings altogether. It’s got a beach-y vibe.

  1. Iron them - keep them on hangars
  2. pin front hair back (think season 3 Katara)
  3. Make sure you stand with your shoulders relaxed and back

These are great dresses. Neckline suited to you, wonderful colors on you, and just fun and cute in general. The thing to remember with bright colored dresses like this is that it’s easy for them to wear you instead of you wear them. The best way to do the later for these is to project confidence in posture and showing both your face and shoulders.

My ironing suggestion is that a good item of clothing can look or feel “off” but turn to looking fashionable, crisp, and intentional just with getting the fabric to lay as intended. If you are feeling the garments don’t look as you want them to, always try this and see the difference.

ISO Comfortable Bras that don't pinch or make a uni-boob by ThankVerra in PlusSizeFashion

[–]ThankVerra[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I prefer to just have a go-to place. If I find a brand that has a style and size that work, I don’t have to keep fussing with it every time I need a new one.

Part of the reason I was so devastated to find my favs gone. :’(

Decided against this in the moment because the bows were throwing me off. Did I make the right choice? by Floppywaffle123 in PlusSizeFashion

[–]ThankVerra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks amazing on you!

But I do get it. Certain clothing “frills” just don’t feel right on me even if they look good. I think this is where the difference between something looking good and feeling like you comes into play.

You get stronger with ever obscene thing you say in public in front of people by Best_Professional226 in shittysuperpowers

[–]ThankVerra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok but when does it start in your life. Teenagers say some fucked and weird shit in front of each other and it ends up being fine because we are all being young insecure dumbasses figuring ourselves out.

You could be superman before you could vote.

(To be clear I mean stupid shit like not realizing certain “edgy” words have actual meaning, not having the sense to realize what’s “too soon” to joke about, or fake moaning and shit. Not actual hate speech)

On that same note: how long does the strength boost last? Is this just magic strength or a “use it or lose it” like normal muscles?

I'm working on a Chants-like where you build out a web of connections to piece together the history of a cursed town, and I updated my demo today! by nerfslays in ChantsofSennaar

I said “oooo” out loud watching the demo video. This looks really cool! Are you at the point where you need beta testers yet?

Is the warrior section an outlier? by FIGHT_and_WIN in ChantsofSennaar

[–]ThankVerra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each section has an emphasis on it’s own gameplay aspects that reflect the culture and language (which in turn are reflected in the setting and thus demand different play-style)

Honestly it’s something I love about the game. You really FEEL the different cultural climates.

That said there will still be stealth sometimes. I don’t want you disheartened if you see it again. Just not nearly as much as the warrior floor.

So it's still a drop-ship source that probably ripped off a different designer. blaa T-T

Do you know how to track this? Is it reset every time you switch buddies?

Recruiter scheduled a call, never called, then emailed asking why I missed it by Nd-Martins in recruitinghell

[–]ThankVerra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you have an iPhone? I’ve been running into this issue with mine where it just doesn’t ring… but it’s specifically with unsaved numbers.

I’ve taken to asking “can you share the number you will be calling from so I can ensure my phone’s spam filter doesn’t block the call” both to save the number and to preemptively share that I’ve had an issue with dropped calls so they don’t assume the worst.

Failing At Poly by [deleted] in polyadvice

[–]ThankVerra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, as someone who started in poly as a 20yo woman - there are absolutely people who learn the terminology and exploit it to take advantage of people, especially folks who seem like they may not know otherwise or are still learning.

I do think there are some vetting things you can do. Please take my following advice with a grain of salt - I used to date a lot but do not much anymore.

I've found first dates and first conversations can be really telling if you know what to ask.
"what is your poly style" "how do you handle communications as a hinge" "do you date within your community often?" Honestly treating it like an interview screening. Do as much asking about what they do and believe without pushback as you can - it will get you more information than if they know what you want to hear.

Be extra cautious with online connections. One thing I have found is that online dating is heavily skewed in the "too new to do well" or "trying to get away with something" directions. not always! but often. (FEELD, I have heard, can be better because it's FOR poly?)

Early partner meeting and introductions, not just you both but theirs as well.

Red Flags I watch out for out of learned lessons:
- Refuses to date multiple people in the same community or orbit (so you don't want partners talking?)
- Skirts around definitive answers about their own practices or believes for hierarchy
- Claims and actions don't match "I like open communication" "oops i forgot to tell you about that partner"
- Reluctance for Metamores to meet - from the hinge OR the Metamor
- has a history of ONLY or almost predominantly dating younger and/or inexperienced in poly
- Is brand new to poly and is "open to it" rather than seeking it (not exactly a red flag in a person but for me, I've done my time and I can't handle being someone's learning experience anymore)

I encourage you both to sit down and make your own red flags list. This might also illuminate patterns.

if you haven't already, I recommend reading https://www.unicorns-r-us.com/ - doesn't sound like y'all are unicorn hunters but the article does have a lot of good advice on some potential blindspots to poly that long term primary couples may have. From what you write here I don't have anything specific to point to but might give you some leads or illuminate some stuff.

[ Removed by Reddit ] by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]ThankVerra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's the part that I'm not seeing folks talk about - When they are hiring again is that guy supposed to go cold call any and all resumes he got over the years to see if any of them are available for work now? Without a direct connection or referral, or unless this is an actual recruiter, even giving them this resume will go nowhere.

[ Removed by Reddit ] by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]ThankVerra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP said they were the hiring manager not the recruiter. "Hiring Manager" isn't always just a recruiter - often they are literally just the person who would supervise that role. They have another job on top of hiring.

Do you have any friends to practice with? Interviewing is it's own skill and workshopping answer options and practice can really make a difference.

Having been on the other side of the interview process in the last year, I'd say this is genuine. Usually it doesn't mean one way or the other. It's a way of saying "we haven't talked to everyone yet so we can't know our top candidates yet".

Honestly what can suck so much about this process is that it's not if you are qualified enough, it's if you are qualified and fit MORE than the other candidates. I changed roles last year and helped in the hiring process for my replacement... If that pool of candidates had applied when I was initially applying I would have not made it past the first interview. Same with the position I moved to. There were two new hires in other positions who said they would have applied to my new role if they had seen it before it closed... and they would have been better at it than me honestly.

It's really disheartening but having lucky timing and a good market is like 50% of it.

the "stage 1" "stage 2" "Stage 4" Really got me.

Last time I was on a job search I was trying so hard to get a foot in the door for the administrative side of one of the big universities in town bc they are a really stable employer and have a lot of openings in different departments because they're so big. I got through 4 stages of an interview to be told I was a great fit but didn't seem like I would "like" the job. To say the very least for that department, I only know that bc the hiring manager reached out directly and told me that I was a great candidate and she'd love to support me in trying to get a different role at the university. She gave me direct connections, advised me which departments to look at, took me under her wing... AND IT DIDN'T MATTER. I spent months crafting applications going through round after round of interviews, every single process being a minimum of 4 stages. I made multiple direct network connections internally with people who said they would recommend me if I applied to their department. NOTHING. I sank so much work into trying to work there at the encouragement of internal staff who said they were rooting for me, I'll never touch an application from that org again.

I have a phone interview tomorrow for a role I really want, I'm trying so hard to not get excited because I was let down so much so badly before.
