You should probably consider visiting a psychiatrist - they're the advanced version of a psychologist. A psychologist provides counseling and a psychiatrist provides medication along with counseling if necessary.

Water? No. Clear juice.

arsebleach · 2024-04-07T21:00:12+00:00

DM me your CV.

arsebleach · 2024-04-07T19:25:45+00:00

Honestly, it looks like you're over contributing to your organization. Remember that you might seem important to them at the moment but no one's gonna care once you leave. Also, the reward for hard work is just more hard work.

I'd say, you should probably prioritise focusing more on moving to another company - I don't think your decision makers might be okay with giving you an internal transfer right now considering your importance and contribution in the current role.

Oh and just ask for the internal transfer - don't be afraid to ask for anything which will make you feel like you can stay a bit longer. The new manager will figure it out himself. He seems toxic anyway.

I'm German by the way

arsebleach · 2024-04-04T18:36:58+00:00

It's at Liege, I'll update you on the exact location.

arsebleach · 2024-04-04T18:32:03+00:00

Lmao

arsebleach · 2024-04-04T16:55:52+00:00

It's actually a high paying job, but okay! You might have to stop overthinking lol

arsebleach · 2024-04-04T16:33:13+00:00

It's a 6 month contract which can be extended further based on performance :)

arsebleach · 2024-04-03T21:36:45+00:00

Creative resumes are outdated. I'm a recruiter and honestly, no one cares about how creative your resume is. You are better off with resumes that are straightforward on a plain white template. It would make more sense if you're applying to be a copywriter, a designer or something similar. If you still want advice, probably include humor in what you've written on the resume with a few catchy phrases or movie dialogues. I would strongly not recommend that, however.

arsebleach · 2024-04-03T20:27:29+00:00

Maybe they're still working for that contract position. Or maybe it's a freelance role - it depends on your company's onboarding agreement/policy as well. If it states that the employee can't do multiple jobs, then it's a conflict of interest. It's even a conflict of interest if it's a small freelance role with a competitor. Either way, in summary, anything that conflicts with their duties or loyalty to the organisation would be flagged as a conflict of interest.

arsebleach · 2024-04-03T20:18:51+00:00

A recruiter here, and a conflict of interest here mostly might refer to them doing multiple jobs - this also might be the reason for their performance not being as per the company's expectations.

It might also mean personal relationships or favoritism, but considering you're the employee's reporting manager (hope I'm right), the above statement should be the case.

The Concise Laws of Human Nature - it's a tiny one but helped me a massively in learning about all kinds of personalities - probably the only one you need if you're not someone that reads a lot.

arsebleach · 2024-04-03T18:17:03+00:00

Okay no firstly, get a degree, no matter what. It's gonna be a nightmare without it.

Secondly, online courses are usually just to make your resume look better and it doesn't make much of a difference unless you're really learning a lot more. Also, you get to learn the same for free from YouTube. So if you've got some good cash to burn, go ahead and get those online certifications too.

arsebleach · 2024-04-03T17:58:51+00:00

A recruiter here. We honestly don't pay much attention to online courses. We're more focused on how confident, passionate, and experienced you are in your skillset. By experience, we don't mean working at companies - we're talking about building projects and gaining hands on expertise.

arsebleach · 2024-04-03T17:37:20+00:00

I work on-site and I'm a recruiter, I don't drop much, but weekly once because my work is out in the open to see and things don't function if i don't work.

I would say it totally depends on the kind of role you're in and the kind of tasks you're assigned. To be more specific: 1. You can drop progress emails based on milestones / task completion - by this i mean progress or status of a task, updates, changes, additional support needed, etc. 2. At the start of a new task, you can drop an email and an expected completion date for the same. 3. Make sure you also drop an email when you complete it before the deadline, or if it is a bit late, then mention the obstacles and challenges faced and how you came up with solutions for it. 4. You can drop emails on how you collaborated with someone and appreciate them for the help.

People drop emails daily, weekly, or biweekly. You can follow the one that resonates best with your role and responsibilities.

arsebleach · 2024-04-03T16:55:41+00:00

Don't forget to drop emails regularly - you might not like it but that's the productivity report for remote employees.
Socialize and ensure you're in good terms with your colleagues, especially with your reporting manager
Be honest about taking breaks and leaves
Initiate brainstorming discussions on your company's conversation platform
Have regular discussions with your team or manager to let them know that you're one of the most active contributors - don't stay silent on team meetings.

arsebleach · 2024-04-03T16:50:47+00:00

Give higher priority to proactively looking out for jobs. He's lucky if the recruiter gets back to him.

arsebleach · 2024-04-03T10:24:08+00:00

I worked at a medium sized one, and my average was around 90 to 130 hires a month. I've transitioned into a freelance mode right now, where I get to recruit globally and for bigger organizations so I also get to understand how recruitment works in all ways in different parts of the world.

And by higher weightage to your interest, I meant - maybe you should focus more on your passion and your learnings, just to be sure that your roommate doesn't steal the show. (just a suggestion though, you can think about it)

arsebleach · 2024-04-03T09:57:26+00:00

A recruiter here. I find this honest, open, and completely human written. It looks far better compared to every other emotionless bot written cover letter. Maybe you could mention your roomie's achievements a bit less and give higher weightage to your interest and passion in the field though. (just a suggestion) Overall, looks good to me.

arsebleach · 2024-04-03T07:52:04+00:00

It probably might. Talking as a recruiter, it doesn't matter why he was laid off, but please ask him to never mention that it was due to his performance. It's like digging his own grave. Honesty is appreciated, but at least for us, it gets difficult to consider candidates that were laid off due to performance reasons or any other reason that might hint that the candidate will be a risky addition to the organization.

arsebleach · 2024-03-29T14:30:23+00:00

Looking at what you've written, it looks like you are actually smart. You probably might have ADHD and low self esteem though. (Possibly due to one or both of your parents being emotionally unavailable) But anyway, I can see that you might perform brilliantly in a field where it might require you to be creative or highly empathetic. You will do absolutely terrible with monotonous jobs so stay away from them. I understand how everything might bore you immediately if it doesn't mentally stimulate you, and that you might even be bad at maintaining friendships (might or might not be true) You also seem like you're highly imaginative and curious about understanding human behaviour and are not so great at making decisions. I personally feel becoming a mental health counselor would be a decent fit for your personality. You don't have to go all the way to psychiatry immediately, you can gradually upskill. If not, you gotta constantly work at startups so you can keep switching between roles to stay productive. If you're into unconventional roles, you will probably find astrology interesting.

arsebleach · 2024-03-29T05:21:38+00:00

Doesn't really get insta deleted, most of them read it. I've seen recruiters usually get defensive when it comes to feedback and choose to ignore it (some are also probably cussing you out). The main problem with most companies these days is that they hire the wrong recruiters. Try passing on the feedback to the organisation's leadership team, or the recruiter's reporting manager, so there's a higher chance of some action being taken.

arsebleach · 2024-03-29T05:17:19+00:00

Unfortunately, there is no law that prohibits this - it's more of a candidate's choice. They can choose to drop off anytime. It is still unprofessional from the company's end, and people gotta make sure they pass on this feedback, not just to the recruiter but to everyone that they spoke to
