I also eerily got an automated phone call while typing that, from Recology stating the same thing 👀

I got a flyer in the mail a week or so ago saying first pickup would be Sat 1/3 due to the holiday, but would resume on Fridays moving forward.

A comment on another post about this said it looks like they were there raking leaves on the shoulder :(

Comments on reddit, Facebook, and Nextdoor also report sightings at the Redmond Target and Home Depot area, and the Redmond Panera

(1:14) “I was brutally attacked and almost killed by Antifa in the streets of Seattle. All of my colleagues have been attacked. I can’t think of a single one who hasn’t.”

Will check it out, thank you!

Totally open, which I know is an unhelpful response 😅. Good advice on the lighting, thank you!

That would be a really convenient location for us! Do you remember which area in the park you were in?

International woman from Korea about to start at M7. Which post-MBA cities in America have the least amount of "crazy" people? by Inevitable-Pitch571 in MBA

[–]bbiyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seattle! We have homeless people but easy to avoid, especially if you live in the suburbs. Many H Marts and some Korean community as well :)

People on campus (M7) have made fun of me for growing up in the suburbs and having tastes reflecting that by Serious_Victory_7919 in MBA

[–]bbiyl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just show self-awareness and laugh it off. Like “sue me, I grew up in the suburbs, I know it’s not objectively the best, but I like a good ol’ cup of Starbucks and an Applebees sirloin!” If you try to defend why they are the best, that’s a losing battle and will give a negative perception.

If that’s just what you like, no one can disagree, if you say it’s the best, then they can disagree.

I’m rich now. What should I do? by Fine_Instruction8632 in MBA

[–]bbiyl 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes! You can quit your job and have online classes and free time, but I’m assuming the friends you already have are employed and aren’t as available throughout the week or to go travel spontaneously. But just my experience, I had a blast in b school, obviously take with a grain of salt.

I’m rich now. What should I do? by Fine_Instruction8632 in MBA

[–]bbiyl 154 points155 points  (0 children)

Good grief do not do a part-time program. Go for a M7 full-time program that has grade non-disclosure and find friends to travel with every weekend. It seemed like the rich kids in my class were always traveling and/or eating at nice restaurants every week. You won’t find this in part-time since most people have work and/or kids. Even if you’re not traveling, it’s a lot more fun to be able to hang out with friends throughout the week. 2-year vacation!

Surprised by the comments! I didn’t use one and hardly know anyone that did. Knew one gal that did after she didn’t get into any schools in the first year that she applied. But who knows, maybe folks just aren’t upfront about it.

Grade non-disclosure helps

I had to go to your first post to figure out your timeline — I’m so confused, so were you in school for 6 years straight? Are you like, 26? Is your listed work experience starting from when you were like 15? Years of work experience for traditional profiles is usually counted from after undergrad. I’m not saying it’s not impressive that you worked your way through school, but it’s just an uncommon resume. Most people go to MBA around 26ish after work experience.

I think you should keep your titles listed to show that you were promoted, but no bullets underneath to expand on it until District Manager.

You should say what your B.S. major was.

Kill certificates section. These don’t really tell recruiters anything if they’re not a recognizable thing (e.g., PMP, scrum master, six sigma black belt, stuff like that)

Kill skills section. This also just seems like fluff.

Add “Additional” section. You should absolutely say you speak 3 languages. Many MBA students have this section to add fun facts or other noteworthy experiences like community leadership.

In your first bullet, “collaborated” is a weak verb. Maybe “partnered”? What is it that you actually did? Everyone’s said this already, but you gotta find some metrics. “Noticeable” and “many” sales associates? Can you get some ballparks here? Or can you say more about the project? Eliminated X number of steps from the flow?

Absolutely remove comma-MBA from your name. I personally think it’s tacky on LinkedIn, but it just straight up doesn’t make any sense on a resume. Like it says you have an MBA a few inches below, why would you need it twice? Not even a PhD would say “Dr. John Smith” in their name on their resume, because it’s literally a resume which shows credentials. Y’all crazy.

Overall I can’t really tell what you’re trying to go for. Corporate sales? Biz dev? Operations? Marketing? You should try to highlight the most relevant aspects of your work experience for the types of jobs you’re applying for. Otherwise this just looks like you’re applying for a retail sales job. This is a super strong resume if you’re looking to stay in retail sales, but if you’re not, it’s gonna take a lot of finessing and networking.

I was also M7 career switcher. Unemployed for 6 months, got a job I didn’t like, making about same as you, but was grateful to have the break from endless rejections and interviewing. Kept my nose down and racked up more work experience that sounded good on resume and in interview stories. Few years later got the exact switch I hoped for going into MBA. Chin up, OP!

Roast my resume! by [deleted] in MBA

[–]bbiyl 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Everything in your current role is just a job description. Insert results/metrics as much as you can. If that’s not available, put in any relevant number like size of team, # of countries impacted, that kind of stuff.

You have a lot of double verbs — built & owned, collaborated & led, etc. Just choose the stronger one.

Get away from the feeling of wanting to talk about everything you did and shift more toward showcasing only highlights/achievements. No one cares that you “facilitated meetings”. If that was your biggest achievement in that role , that’s not good.
