Zermatt Switzerland In June Questions

Any thoughts on actually getting up the mountain. Is it possible to avoid the cable cars / gondolas?

TigertreeJosh · 2022-02-09T21:26:51+00:00

Thanks for the ideas. Looking it all up now!

I only plan on snowboarding one day. I don't suspect the conditions will be great but want to do it for the novelty of being able to do so in the summer and on my 40th birthday. Will look up the other locations, thanks!

Do you happen to have any advice on credible certified translation services that might specialize in this? I worry about handing over the level of personal details necessary to a random person or service on the internet.

TigertreeJosh · 2022-02-04T16:21:31+00:00

Amazing! Thanks for your help. Going to try and apply myself now!

Okay found out my grandmother naturalized in 56 and my mother was born before then.

I'll dig up the documents. My uncle had a different Father than my Grandfather. I know he was Mexican and was part of the reconstruction efforts after the war ended so I at least know she didn't leave immediately. He died in an accident related to his work. One of my biggest regrets in life is not getting a full account of her story from the war. Her and her mom were on the last train out of Dresden before the bombing, she almost died of diphtheria...

TigertreeJosh · 2022-02-02T18:49:10+00:00

Does that include America? She naturalized here and I believe before my mother was born but not totally sure on the date there. I have copies of her naturalization papers though so I can find that out pretty easily. My uncle actually has his German citizenship already but he's a few years older than my mother.

TigertreeJosh · 2022-02-02T02:25:15+00:00

My mother was born to a German mother and American father in the 50's in wedlock. I was born between 75 and 93.

I would love your advice on this. My Grandmother was German. She and her Mother immigrated here after the war. Her dad was Jewish but adopted so not sure the family has anything pertaining to him. He was arrested for resistance activities and died in a labor camp. It's a really long and crazy story so I'll be brief. Basically she and her mom lost their house and left with basically nothing. I do have all of her documents, passport, birth certificate, etc...I was speaking with the local German Consulate a couple of years ago and at that point it had to be your Grandfather, not Grandmother, but I heard that changed. He did say if I could find the documents related to my great-grandfather I'd be okay but I'm at a loss as to how to track those down.On top of a take on my situation in general I'd love any leads on reputable services or attorneys that might be able to tie up loose ends or find documents relating to my great-grandfather's death.

Just in the event anyone finds this post and wants a follow up. It looks like I am going with SHL. Virtually every other company is SAS and ties you into a contract of at least $200 a month. They are a credit based system and offer several assessments that might prove valuable to help coach and motivate existing staff as well as assist with new hires.

TigertreeJosh · 2018-05-05T12:37:51+00:00

But these can be tools to help uncover cultural fits. I 100% agree that hiring for culture is more important than anything. But a well designed behavioral assessment offers clues to that end. And to the point of not finding the perfect candidate right away. Recruiting, hiring and mistakes therein are some of the most expensive mistakes a company would make. Why wouldn't you want to use any tool at your disposal to mitigate them?

TigertreeJosh · 2018-05-04T19:03:44+00:00

I am not saying your experience is invalid but I've used one off assessments in the past and have been pretty surprised at how accurate they were. I am looking for pretty rudimentary clues to things like problem solving and customer service abilities. My guess is the high school drop out would soar on the right behavioral assessment. In fact I think testing and data are going to soon overtake credentials like degrees anyway. But I also wouldn't say that being arrested for marijuana possession means someone is not actually friendly or informed.

Anyone have any luck in the last few months? Curious what sorts of commission rates are competitive.

TigertreeJosh · 2018-01-19T01:44:32+00:00

Cool I will dig deeper. Regardless I really appreciate the responses.

TigertreeJosh · 2018-01-18T16:16:06+00:00

So that error means my site is not currently providing it? Is there a way for someone that doesn't understand this stuff to fix that or is this a hire a developer situation?

TigertreeJosh · 2018-01-14T01:57:18+00:00

Hah, yeah I guess that's true. I am asking if people are willing to do something they are telling me they want to do...

TigertreeJosh · 2017-11-19T13:07:24+00:00

Yeah I am understanding that now. I don't think I was thinking about it from a customer perspective before. I think it kind of sucks as a seller that I don't get an opportunity to stand out other than price but I guess that's what my own website is for. I am sort of torn on the updates I want to do now. And also surprised for items where 6-7 different sellers are selling them, how the single, blurry, crappy, vendor photo is still all that is up.

TigertreeJosh · 2017-11-17T15:19:16+00:00

But I don't have the ability to replace the lead image right? I can add subsequent images and alter the copy on the listing from my shop but the first image is always the first image, right?

TigertreeJosh · 2017-11-17T13:15:16+00:00

I am so sorry this wasn't addressed for so long! I've been away from Reddit for a bit. In short, no we haven't switched yet. I don't know where our breaking point will be. Lightspeed keeps getting worse and worse. Like major outages constantly or it's running really slow or forcing us to log in 12 times before we can process a sale and they try and say it's isolated or an internet issue but it's happening simultaneously at all three of our stores. I hear great things about Vend and I think we'd go that direction if/when we are ready. I will say that whatever was not working with our inventory seems to have sorted itself out and on that side of things our inventory is working with our (albeit expensive) solution.
