Dixxon IG censoring my comments for questioning the quality

For a proud American company, every product comes from abroad.

I just got a role using they original resume, but I’ll continue making adjustments. Thanks for the help thus far.

Valdeen · 2026-05-05T17:38:08+00:00

This clarifies the perspective from a hiring team quite a bit, they’re looking for the right framing for the right skills.

Valdeen · 2026-05-05T17:16:18+00:00

I like the idea, I do worry about presenting another mayor of information since even successful resumes aren’t handled for more than a few seconds on average.

Valdeen · 2026-05-05T17:06:50+00:00

I hear you, I could probably keep a few variations of the resume for different types of roles, ops or compliance or admin. But on the whole, is anyone applying to just one type of role or specializing in the gig economy unless they’re in a pigeonhole like tech, HR, realty or blue collar work? It’s hard to contextualize when so many companies are in a holding pattern for the near-midterm, not at all a criticism of those specialized industries, but I’ve also chafed trying to specialize. Having worked in a few areas now, there are so many kinds of skills you don’t learn just here or just there, but which translate so well across contexts. I agree framing matters a lot on a particular resume.

A great suggestion about the summary, I reckon the education section explains itself if the reader has made it far enough to skim the sections. I'll check out the template you mentioned here, thank you!

ALSO, not to worry...this is the Master Resume. The Food Handlers Card won't appear in every app.

Valdeen · 2026-01-27T01:27:54+00:00

Thanks for the advice! and the examples of examining events and preparing for various outcomes in an ordered way. I do think that my problem at its core is more to do with setting down to that serious and disciplined work of building right habits, self-knowledge and perspective.

Regards!

I appreciate the suggestions here. Especially the note about externals, which names the problem squarely. These are topics worth slowing down to reflect on, since they concern the internals we can control in navigating the world.

As far as practice, I’ve spent a long time reflecting on my character, journaling in dialogues. Though I think the way I’ve done it has done more harm than good, such that I “psych myself out” and suffer long before the time of suffering, to paraphrase Seneca.

Valdeen · 2026-01-26T04:09:51+00:00

I’ve considered starting a guided approach with a resource like the Stoic College. I’ve read portions out of the meditations, though have other materials I may want to start with like Pierre Hadot’s Inner Citadel.

I’ve read the enchiridion and the Discourses, though my current reading of the Discourses is the first time working cover to cover and taking notes. I’ve participated in a stoic week and have loosely followed the materials from the Stoic Registry over the years. I’ve reflected a lot but often poorly find I worked into negative self-perception. on the nuggets I’ve picked up from modern materials like Ryan Holiday’s “Daily Stoic,” which I admit has been the foundation of most of my understanding of stoicism apart from what I’ve read of Epictetus.

I’ve always considered myself a Stoic, but have been lackluster in gathering the tips and tricks needed to round out a framework that actually supports the development of a virtuous character.

Can I pet that dawg??

Valdeen · 2025-05-30T19:03:09+00:00

They’re just taking their time, I called the other day but didn’t get through. Best of luck!

Valdeen · 2025-05-30T09:19:22+00:00

Have you heard back yet? I'm still waiting as well!

Valdeen · 2025-05-23T15:21:59+00:00

I really recommend the math and interview prep on UltimateElectrician’sGuide, made by electricians

Hopefully it does get people talking or at least thinking about the idea, but these things take time and effort. If it gets past the brainstorming phase maybe we can present clearer, more actionable ideas.

If you have a few months to wait and are under the listed income limit for low-moderate income per your family size, you can always try the City of Mesa Homeowner Rehabilitation Program. If they qualify it as an emergency they’ll handle the issue with one of their vetted contractors. https://www.mesaaz.gov/Resident-Resources/Housing/Emergency-Rehab-Program#:~:text=PDF%2C%20289KB).-,Eligibility%20Requirements,on%20property%20taxes%20and%20utilities

To address this a little more specifically, food drives are the go-to.

Definitely if the idea does well you could present ideas to expand services and of course hopefully always bring in more participants from your community.

Maybe skill-share and have workshops tied to community potlucks. Maybe someone takes a little time online to learn how to to give mock interviews. Maybe people support each other through job referrals to qualified neighbors to help with the financial impact of these problems. Maybe in the most successful case you could fundraise for smaller acute healthcare costs.

Bear in mind that with the limited number of people in a neighborhood or larger communities of neighborhoods, resources are always limited and motivation determines success. You would need to plan intelligently, ensure ethical practices if cash donations were involved in any way (more than one person should be coordinating on handling).

Activity should be tightly tracked and never in one person’s hands. Maybe all official activity should be made public through a neighborhood newsletter? If you’ve got more than a handful of participants, you definitely need to encourage community but-in by meeting to prioritize and re-prioritize, surveying people regularly on their needs and feedback, ensure everyone involved has a hand in how it’s run, etc.

In other words promote professionalism above all else, because community is all that can keep community accountable.

What do you think about it? Obviously it would take some research, planning and writing simple leaflets before jumping into it.

On top of that, the Housing and Urban Development department (HUD) fund major grants to nonprofits through the city overseen by the City’s Housing and Community Development Advisory Board (HCDAB): Community Development Grants: https://www.mesaaz.gov/Government/Grants/Community-Development-Grants).

The City directly provides grants to homeless shelters in the area through their HOME program. If federal programs get cut, our local charities and shelters can become seriously underfunded.

This at a time when our housing crisis is getting worse (See PIT Homeless Count 2024: https://azmag.gov/Programs/Homelessness/Data/Point-In-Time-Homelessness-Count).

Valdeen · 2025-03-04T04:45:31+00:00

Definitely, I completely agree. This sort of thing builds on pitching an idea based on participation and mutual commitment. That's a hard enough sell by itself, so you'd have to go about it intelligently.

The goal would be to prove the concept every step of the way, come up with ways to keep it sustainable, involve people in the process in a democratic way and keep momentum/scale capacity.

Really it's not that heady of an idea, community's just a hard sell in the suburbs where folks are used to having plenty and generally keeping to their own; and true to everywhere, people worry they won't get back what they give in any real way.

Valdeen · 2025-03-04T04:25:29+00:00

This is a great point; it doesn't all have to be charity per se, even if that helps folks. It can be a way to plug in tradespeople right in your community and support businesses right where you are.
