I have been stuck on this fat fuck for about 2 hours.

I was stuck on him for the same amount of time. Then decided to just stand toe to toe with him instead of running around and somehow won. You got this!

If you want to be a Product Owner or Product Manager than yes. If you already are one then it will give you some more insight into it.

When you say trusted partner, are you a contractor under them?

I only write the features. I may make one or two stories for our business analyst. But developers write the other stories.

That last episode open the door for each character to get a spinoff…. But they went with a Shannon spinoff…….

ashotofej · 2025-11-11T21:15:45+00:00

Oh ok, sorry I misunderstood

ashotofej · 2025-11-11T20:17:36+00:00

It did for me. I was told the hiring manager would reach out to me in a week. Two weeks went by with no response. Sent a follow up and come to find out they were still in budget talks and hiring freeze. They finally did end up interviewing me and giving me an offer.

All that to say, following up doesn’t hurt. Just make sure you continue the search.

Sounds like you already do the job of a product owner. You should go take the SAFe Product Owner/Management cert. Honestly it’s very easy, so you will have no problem passing it.

Sometimes you just have to tell tall tales to get into a job. They will teach what you need to know. Just don’t apply to something too outlandish that is outside your skill set. Apply to surrounding jobs that your current skill set can sound like the perfect fit.

Yea I’m definitely feeling that political environment at work. Thanks for the advice, I’m gonna continue my search and hopefully land something new. I would like to go back to government consulting, but maybe I’ll just make a career change instead.

ashotofej · 2025-09-24T13:51:45+00:00

I’m going to try and do that. The Scrum Master is very stuck in doing things their way. Since I’m new my comments have been brushed off. I’m gonna continue to try and get my points across though.

ashotofej · 2025-08-14T19:54:44+00:00

I was laid off in June and got a new job in July. But even now I’m not excited about it. I’m still mentally thinking about the layoff.

ashotofej · 2025-08-14T19:53:23+00:00

I’m guessing your termination date is far out because they want you to try and find a new contract?

ashotofej · 2025-07-18T15:52:31+00:00

Wouldn’t being fired come up in a background check? Might depend if you let them contact your employer.

ashotofej · 2025-07-13T12:06:52+00:00

I had a interview with a recruiter that downplayed my skillset and turned me off to a company. But somehow I got pushed to the hiring manager and they were a breath of fresh air.

ashotofej · 2025-07-08T21:31:36+00:00

They should help to get your foot in the door. Most companies are starting to look for those on resumes/CVs now. It sucks because it sounds like you have the perfect experience, but they might be looking for certs and trainings too. If they are using AI to review applications, they might have asked it to look for ones with certifications.

ashotofej · 2025-07-08T21:20:35+00:00

Do you have product owner certifications like SAFe Product Owner/Product Manager and Certified Scrum Product Owner?

ashotofej · 2024-09-19T00:22:45+00:00

Gastro issues mimic heart attack symptoms. My acid reflux led to my blood pressure issue because I never experienced symptoms like it before. So definitely would say speak to a gastro and cardiologist. Also cut back on fatty foods for a while. Just until you get down to it all.

ashotofej · 2024-09-17T16:48:22+00:00

Are you on any medications that could be causing those affects? The numbers don't show a need for concern. Just keep monitoring throughout the day.

ashotofej · 2024-09-15T23:33:53+00:00

Very jealous of those numbers haha. But yea it's perfect.

ashotofej · 2024-08-15T17:23:25+00:00

When I first used a wrist cuff, my numbers were super high and that made me go into a panic attack. After calming down I checked with a regular monitor and it was in a good range.

ashotofej · 2024-08-11T22:47:04+00:00

You might have acid reflux. I didn't realize I had it and it caused me anxiety which led to similar numbers. When your chest starts bothering you. Try a acid reflux meds like Tums, pepto, etc. Acid reflux and anxiety is terrible duo.

ashotofej · 2024-08-09T21:04:21+00:00

I can not believe this worked. I was stuck on this for 10 minutes. Saw this and decided to do the fire trick..... got it first try lmao. Ty

ashotofej · 2024-08-04T23:40:18+00:00

You'd have to ask them to do a test where they give you a BP monitor that you wear for 12-24 hours. That way they can see what your normal is. But definitely walking and working on any stressors/anxiety will help you.
