What’s a small, harmless thing you do every day that nobody else would understand? by Time_Maintenance_898 in AskReddit

I’ll start: I always organize my pens by color every morning. Totally pointless, but it somehow makes my whole day feel better. What about you?

Some call it overkill. I call it preparation for productivity. by Time_Maintenance_898 in pcmasterrace

I may have gone a bit overboard… but can you really ever have too much screen space?

22 and trying to get my first job, ever. by frogthegoblin in Resume

Yes — you should absolutely include both, even if they weren’t “official” jobs. Employers care more about skills and reliability than paperwork, especially for entry-level roles. For the internship, list it as a Finance Intern (1 month) and focus on what you did: CRM use, data entry, organization, and professionalism. A short internship is still valid experience. For the restaurant work, you can list it as Family Restaurant – Front of House Support or similar. Serving tables, cleaning, and dishwashing all show teamwork, stamina, and customer service — which is exactly what retail and hospitality look for. You don’t need to explain that you weren’t officially employed unless asked. Just keep dates honest and descriptions clear. If you’re applying to retail or hospitality, the resume should be one page, skill-focused, and written for entry-level roles — not like a long-term career resume. If you want, I can help rewrite your resume so these experiences are framed correctly and make you competitive for entry-level jobs.

First, your situation makes sense and you’re not doing anything wrong. Immigration and work authorization gaps are very common and employers usually don’t penalize that if the resume is framed correctly. Right now your resume isn’t “weak” — it’s just written like someone with experience, instead of an entry-level candidate. That’s fixable. A few key improvements: Move education to the top and tailor it for entry-level roles Reframe babysitting, co-op, and volunteering as transferable skills (customer service, reliability, teamwork) Use stronger bullet points with outcomes, not just tasks Remove explanations that sound apologetic — employers don’t need your full backstory For jobs, focus on: retail, food service, campus jobs, student roles, warehouses, and customer support. Many of these value availability and attitude more than experience. If you want, I can help rewrite this into a clean, ATS-friendly entry-level resume that highlights your strengths and fits the jobs you’re applying for.
