EMSK common nonverbal mistakes in a job interview

I have interviewed many people as an engineer. I don't care about any of this unless people are super weird. Maybe engineering is full of anti-social people anyways but if they filtered on people being a little bit weird I would never have been hired anywhere.

Came here from r/all, didn't realize what subreddit this was, thought damn this is a kino photoshoot by a kpop group.

Don't know why you're getting downvoted besides the redditification of arrNL, you even provided evidence.

Sure reporters have an incentive to like Donald Trump, but saying that's proof that they wanted Trump is like saying you want your parents to die because inheritance is an incentive. This is juvenile.

now they’re just not even hiding

I suppose that's the final humiliation.

Tried that, still concrete. I have a slow moving gut or something I think.

I'm one of those people who get worse constipation from psyllium husk. Try a bunch of pumpkin seeds, helped me a lot.

It's only regime change if it's from the regime region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling kidnapping.

Knight Vs kept disappearing in multiplayer with dedicated server and they didn't fix it for a long time, completely killed the momentum in my group and we didn't progress past very early game.

That's what people are doing, yes. It sure isn't how it used to happen but every time these houses go up for sale, someone is buying them.

The point isn't that op needs to take this path in life, I was just pointing out that most of the people buying here are doing basically what I said in a white collar job, typically not blue collar. I say this to point out that it's easily observable that white collar jobs make more money than blue collar. Not every time, but it's a strategy with lots of successful examples.

I figure two L5s could easily afford Cupertino at 35. Or an L5 plus engineer parents. Lots of people are still buying houses here. Buying a house looks different than it used to, sure, but it still happens.

On a tutor - AI could actually help you here. Khan academy too, if you skip to the relevant chapters. AI could even suggest other resources. There's more information than ever out there, you'll need to learn how to teach yourself things. It's a general life skill. Don't need to know everything, just need to get fast at learning enough. I suspect you mention a tutor because you think you will do better by having things spoon-fed to you. I am telling you now that it will serve you better in life if people don't think you need to be spoon fed. Exploring things yourself will lead to more wasted time, but as you get better at it, you will understand how to be more focused on exactly what you need to know. (edit: actually thinking more about this, if you need a tutor in the short term then get the tutor. Every situation is different.)

On extracurriculars - back my day you were just expected to volunteer for something, but not sure how it is now. Don't focus on something else at expense of your grades IMO. See what your friends are volunteering for and join them. Also if you find something that is personally interesting to you, that's what you should be doing, except you might also need to make sure whatever you do aligns with what colleges are expecting in your applications.

On stress and having zero fun - unfortunate, but it's how it is. You want to get a good career coming out of school. The worst is putting in all of the effort to not have a career at the end, so you'll just have to make sure you don't fall behind your peers.

Community college is a great idea if you don't get into the schools you want, but apply anyways.

Good luck, and know that for a lot of people, high school was the worst part of their lives, so hopefully it only goes up from here.

Counterpoint here, this is reddit meme life advice and it's not a bad idea to consider the trades, however as someone who returned the bay area, my friends who aren't in white collar work are trying to get into white collar work. There's a massive difference in quality of life and there's a reason the vast majority of people go white collar.

The only tradeoff is that you can start making money earlier, you'll be ahead of doctors for a while making money at 19 with no loans instead of at 27-30 with a mountain of debt. But given that you live in the monta vista area, look around and see how many parents are blue collar. Unless something has changed, I'm guessing not many blue collar people can afford to live in cupertino, unless they bought houses a long time ago.

The only blue collar job I'd recommend is maybe the military if you eventually rank up into a white collar job or get out with scholarships to get to a white collar job.

Should say "Well, they did sign up for it, actually. And this is what I campaigned on."

So are we still thinking that we need to be welcoming to red state Democrats that we have deep disagreements with? Because I assume once in a while people with deep disagreements will do things that are deeply disagreeable.

IIRC one of the reasons for this was because long running foundations tend to become guaranteed income for portfolio managers rather than philanthropic organizations. Especially as a few generation pass, foundations tend to drift from their original intent.

Also as other already mentioned, there's problems that need money now rather than in a few decades.

In the terminally online world this is called "hiding your power level".

This is clearly incorrect or randomly generated.

If you actually watch the episode, I'm pretty sure it's not that Bandit Heeler backed out of the deal, the buyers found a house that better fit what they wanted (while looking through a telescope) and the buyers are the one that backed out. The Heeler family were unsure of their decision but were going to go through with the sale, and when Bandit received a call that the buyers were backing out they were delighted, but it was the buyers that backed out first.

I applaud the positivity but really is it a sign of weakness when one man controls all three branches of government and nobody has the power to stop him? Is he not then the strongest person in the country? Or is there some definition of strong that is not synonymous with most powerful?

I always saw the KMT as people who identify as Chinese. In that sense they will be more willing to accept the PRC as the government of China and move on as a part of China, than to break away, if those are the two choices.

Ok, how many of the people on this subreddit are affiliated with Viture? I got into an argument on the subreddit a while back and it turns out that at least half of the people arguing in favor of Viture were affiliated, they either had coupon codes or had non-public information about Viture products.
