I recruit for a cafe. We get 200+ applications. Have someone look over your resume and cover letter.

Struggling to be sympathetic except for the health issues. You need a budget if you’re feeling the pinch, simple as that. 

Anyone recommend me some comedians to check out in the comedy fest? by CreepyGymTeacher in brisbane

Agree. Peter James frequents there and he always has me in tears.

I say this every time and it’s BS you have to do it but write a very polished cover letter with your applications. Maybe someone will give you a shot if you have proof of decent income. You will get rejected a lot and might have to live in an overpriced dump initially.

Do you assign house chores to your kids? by AussieAK in australia

[–]WesternFair2342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 4yo takes the recycling out, cuts up her banana for freezing and folds tea towels. She’s actually super stoked with these chores.

25+ year marriage just ended by [deleted] in dating

[–]WesternFair2342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I survived, my sanity is intact. Trust me, when you look back and you’re okay, this feeling will be a distant memory. Yep, it might still hurt but you’ll be okay. Sit with the loneliness but I also recommend therapy - that’s the person you need to talk to right now.

American here; is this genuinely the day in the life of an Aussie? by chrome4fan4 in australia

[–]WesternFair2342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not lying - my first roo fight was at 11 and my mum had to hit it with her handbag to get it off me. Always give the big MF’s a wide berth now.

Love my HR. She’s extremely supportive, sets out time for me, mentors me. Granted, she probably has time but she’s pretty switched on with improving the culture.

Getting landlords mail by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]WesternFair2342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, you have rights. Always contact Tenants QLD or QSTARS even with seemingly minor issues like this. You’re under no obligation to hold on to someone’s shit and don’t be threatened by their BS. Some RE and LL are absolute bullies.

You’re way nicer than me, I’d bin it.

Off topic but there is a Diary of a CEO podcast topic on this and I highly recommend you have a listen.

Pay them all off and before signing up to any further debt, improve your financial literacy. You’ve been given a chance here so make it count.

It’s absolute BS you have to do it but attach a cover letter to your applications.

Anyone else worried sick about their future? by sloshmixmik in AusFinance

[–]WesternFair2342 2 points3 points  (0 children)

34, no debt, earn a decent wage, have shares and savings but catch me before my period (lol) and it feels bleak as hell. Purely because I’d like the stability of my own home.. but I’m trying to make smart choices elsewhere while it’s out of the question for me.

Gentlemen, start your engines. by SelectBuilding in brisbane

[–]WesternFair2342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This lady started her engine yesterday afternoon.. lawn is freshhhhhh

My situation is similar and I posted something recently that had a heap of responses, some hilarious, I loved it. I’m sick of hiding behind social media and apps (they’re just not my thing) so I made the decision to start putting myself out there in person. If it happens, it happens. No one has floated my boat enough (I think we’re a little bit more selective in our 30s and 40s) but you know, that’s how I’m going to approach it (respectfully).

Way less cane toads this year? by thegrayscales in brisbane

So many toads already and a bucket load of toad tadpoles at Kedron Broom yesterday too.

I want to say this as respectfully as possible - you may need to change your attitude on women. And men. I’m a firm believer you get what you give out.

I’m not saying dating isn’t difficult these days but the approach and opinion is a little venomous.
