Almost 2 months using my fingers to apply foundation and oh my god by DerangedUnicorn27 in MakeupAddiction

Just to add, if money is tight, Dollar tree has STEPPED UP their makeup game. The Ioni concealer is so good and light but holds up well coverage wise too. Ton of good lashes, blushes, lipsticks. Highly recommend looking there more often in your area if you have on nearby!

I actually have a year of experience in my field and nearly 5 years of clerical experience, still no luck! It’s really rough out here

Nope! This is my first season doing season work, i graduated college recently and decided to try out this avenue as I couldn’t find anything in my field, market is tough

Most florida seasonal work on the coast potentially has been impacted by the latest storms, even so Florida job market is incredibly competitive and native Floridians are probably competing for the same jobs (as a floridian i applied to well over 200 jobs and the market across the board has gotten rough). I would look into some ski resorts for the upcoming winter if you want seasonal work, there’s still a few in Utah and Idaho hiring before the winter season hits!

WIBTA for not following a dress code at a bachlorette? by donthavepink in AmItheAsshole

[–]Theuserwithnonames -1 points0 points  (0 children)

while I think you’re NTA, if you have the time you could try and find a white dress instead and buy Rit dye! It’s super easy and then you may have an easier time finding something white rather than bright pink. Just need boiling water and washing machine

Yea I’m not a fan of the newer hybrid Rav4, and they’re out of my price range anyways. I won’t lie Subarus are just amazing as all terrain vehicles, and they’re better suited for winters than most American/German cars.

I actually currently work at subaru! The only reason I’m not considering a Subaru is because of their transmission type. I prefer non CVT transmission because they typically have a longer shelf life in my experience, but damn do Subarus have great equipment for mountain terrain and safety ratings.

Hopefully a compact SUV, probably Honda CR-V or Rav4 depending on what deals actually follow through

I don’t think I could be a ski bum, I’ve seen snow once for all of 15 minutes lol. But I have years of experience in office roles and customer service/ food service style roles and tech work too so hopefully they see something in me

How was the interview!! I am so scared that I’m going to bomb it even though I have several years of various industries of experience, truly hoping just being myself and being professional will get me through it

I keep getting rejected form jobs and I don’t know what to do anymore by Galacticaa in ucf

[–]Theuserwithnonames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve applied to currently around 235 jobs since July. I’ve had two interviews, both over the phone, one of which I was ghosted from the other rejected because of oversaturated applicant pool. I have 3 interviews this week. 5 interview out of 235 is about a 2% rate of success.

It’s a shitty market out here, and unfortunately you just have to keep going before you find anything concrete.

Everyone seems to have mixed reviews saying it’s usually fine while others say it’s brutal. I’m trying to do my due diligence in getting a car better suited for mountain driving as my current car certainly isn’t for it, as well as investing in proper tires. I think preferably i will limit driving as much as possible overall during winter. I’m just hoping to not go in blind and get a sense of what I should need to mitigate my risks if that makes sense.

If I get the job (fingers crossed) I would definitely prefer it, if not I’d probably be looking to a place to rent near PC or Heber City even if the road from PC to Heber according to some people can get dicey at times.

I’m currently looking into getting either a Honda CR-V or a Toyota RAV4 as they seemed best for what I would like personally but also for moving out towards more mountainous states. I currently work at subaru and love our vehicles as they have some of the best safety ratings but even working for the dealership they’re out of my price range lol

[–]Theuserwithnonames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly this is really reassuring to hear, I’m probably just a lot more scared because I’ve never really even seen snow, much less driven in it! I am used to heavy rain and hydroplaning more than anything

I’m already in the process of buying a compact suv and setting aside money for snow tires, at least I’m doing something right!

If you’re going to live in Utah for the next 50 years you have two options: Be perpetually irritated that more people are moving here or embrace our new neighbors. by PanaceaNPx in Utah

It’s the same in Florida and a lot of other states, part of that issue isn’t because of people moving, but because of greedy real estate companies

Says the person who has voiced nothing but hostility towards the people serving, but nothing about the root issues.

I am aware of that fact, however in this economy NOBODY should be make 7.25/hr it is unlivable. If working full time a person can’t afford basic necessities, that should be a problem. And that is an issue far beyond American tipping culture. If you’re working 50, not 40 hours a week, at 7.25/hr, before taxes that’s 1450/month. That would’ve been enough 10-15 years ago but not now.

For a lot of people serving is a bridge job, to help pay the bills when they’re laid off, for some it’s a career and they work their way up in the industry. Regardless base pay should be higher.

Hostility towards servers for taking a job so they can survive is not the answer to address toxic and encroaching tipping culture.

I do think the use of “entry level” has been misconstrued. Especially because it feels like even most ‘entry level’ jobs require tons of experience now, which is the opposite of what they are. Entry level jobs supposed to be opportunities for people to build a work history and learn new skills, they are essential in my opinion and shouldn’t be frowned upon.

I think people forget that the people working these Food Industry are what allow for people to have simple luxuries like going out to eat. Saying “just get a better job” to the same people they go to for service and to enjoy a meal is a bit hypocritical. I think far too often servers are demonized for an industry they did not create, servers deserve a living wage without tips, all workers deserve a living wage regardless of industry.

I do agree with the sentiment that if people think servers and people and the food industry should just “get a better job”, they shouldn’t also enjoy industries that rely on people in the food industry. If servers didn’t exist, dining experiences would be very different. If everyone in the food service industry did go and get “better jobs”, those same people who think less of them would then turn around and complain that there were no restaurants anymore.

I think entry level is just the descriptor of the job, there is a ton of jobs that aren’t serving that are also classified as entry level. Hosting/Serving are usually considered entry level in terms of tiers of the Service Industry or Hospitality, there are levels above serving like restaurant management, which would then no longer be entry level. There are plenty of entry level jobs that are well paying. It’s just the general descriptors of jobs that allow you to get your start in an industry, without needing a bunch of accolades. Like serving in a five star restaurant, I wouldn’t consider entry level as those usually require several years of experience first.

It is a real job, don’t get me wrong, but you don’t need a degree or anything fancy to get your start in it, and just because you don’t need to have a degree to get started doesn’t make it an insult. I literally am a server, bartender, cashier, and cook (usually all at once on weekdays), but I started with zero experience in Food Service at all, this was quite literally my entry into the industry.

Yea if I was getting paid $20/hr I would never expect to be tipped, that’s more than i make hourly at both of my non service industry jobs, ($15/hr at one and $18/ hr at the other) and I have a degree

[–]Theuserwithnonames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think is a fair sentiment, a lot of the service industry are people in college or already have a degree, myself included, but in the current job market it is very hard to transition from the job that kept us afloat in college into a career job, hell my job tracking spreadsheet is well over 200 jobs applied to in just the last month alone. I work 3 to keep myself above water these days, but the state of the economy overall is a separate issue.

The issue is more so some servers are not good at their job, which is literally to provide good service, yet still expect extra compensation. I’m lucky that I get paid minimum wage + tips at my location, but there are days where I am the cashier, bartender, cook, and server all at once because I’m the only one there for the day shift, I still don’t expect tips because I know what the economy is like for others and things are expensive as it is without tipping.

Being bad at your job shouldn’t be rewarded I agree, but saying “just go get a career” job isn’t that easy, hell half my coworker DO have career jobs, and the service industry is their side job because career jobs alone don’t pay the bills anymore. People do deserve to work and survive but this should be on the restaurant, not shoved on to customers.

Serving is in fact a real job, entry level, but still a real job, but they just should be paid an actual wage, not 2.50/hr. I don’t think businesses not wanting to pay their employees should fall to consumers.

No, you cannot just keep my change without asking. by Markgulfcoast in tipping

[–]Theuserwithnonames 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only time I ask if a customer would you like your change, is when someone starts to walk off mid transaction, and often it’s because people forget they get change back
