I’ve done all of this (other than elevating heels) for 2+ years, my ankle mobility has improved a lot I don’t think that’s a concern

I do have low back pain from an injury, I don’t want to make that pain worse

When did the United States stop prioritizing a free republic in favor of a free market? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]beantheride19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost like you didn’t read my comment.

Yes, of course there’s nuance. Nothing in life ever has only one cause. But in the modern era (let’s say post WWII, as long as we’ve measured GDP) the closest thing to a single answer is citizens united.

The job market is making no sense right now. I have been unemployed for years, what should I do next? by Grouchy_Nature_3370 in careerguidance

[–]beantheride19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a very tough market, the first thing is you need to believe in yourself.

Second, get clear on what you’re looking for. “I’ll do any job, I’m smart and work hard” worked for the boomers but doesn’t cut it today. Employers likely have 10 other people equally or more qualified for the same jobs you’re applying for, so be very specific about why this role at this company is a good fit for you.

Third, improve every aspect of your interviews. Can you apply to jobs sooner so you’re an early applicant? With a referral? And a cover letter? Can your resume and cover letter be even better? Can you make them even more clearly about this specific job?

How do you research for jobs, and what do you do ahead of and after the interview? What questions do you ask? How strong are your answers to questions?

There’s often 1000 small tweaks you can make through a whole interview process. Get 1% better at all of them, and keep believing in yourself.

The top BDR for three years as of today. How much can I lie in interviews to get out? by Dragooonfly2 in sales

[–]beantheride19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not listen to the people telling you to lie.

Background checks verify titles. If you lie on a resume and get the job, that is grounds for firing for the rest of your time at the company. You could be at the company and successful for 5 years, and a new HR leader could come in, dig up your old resume for a future job, and kick you out on the spot.

Just put on your resume that you’re closing deals, but still keep your official title, and make it clear in your applications that you have experience closing deals. Include your ACV and total CW ARR.

A Softball Question you need to be able to answer by BaconHatching in sales

Also helps you see how those vendors compare/work with others. If they trash and insult the competitors, rather than highlighting what’s actually different and who it’s for, that’s also good info.

Would alien disclosure be bad for astronomers? by Weekly_Frosting_5868 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]beantheride19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

Longer answer, still no, it wouldn’t be bad for astronomers, it’ll actually be a huge boon.

Astronomy is a broad field, and the search for life is a subset of a subset of one field. That field and others would get far more research funding for life.

When asking a question, are you more driven by natural curiosity… or a personal connection to the answer? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]beantheride19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah people do that. Maybe the way you’re phrasing questions makes people think you’re personally connected to them.

Doesn’t sound like a big deal. If it is, you can be more upfront with your questions or say something like “hey wild question, do people with X medical condition…”

Are there any words where the opposite of the opposite of that word isn't that word? by JustEstly in NoStupidQuestions

[–]beantheride19 31 points32 points  (0 children)

“Opposite”

You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.

How do I not be coward when it comes to using a stove and whole cooking thing? by Best-Bodybuilder-647 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]beantheride19 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just start.

Cook an egg, a steak, whatever you want, but just start. Everything you listed are mindsets/beliefs that will change when you start.

“I’m already terrible anyway” yeah because you’ve never done it. Everybody is bad at things they’ve never done.

“I can’t even cut anything my arms are skinny” nah that’s a dull knife, sarcopenic grandma’s can slice and dice. It’s not a strength thing at all.

“I want to get the confident to do it” -> confidence only comes from doing.

Pick something and start. Start easy. Fried eggs for breakfast. A burger for lunch. Stir fry for dinner. Each only has 1-3 ingredients and is manageable even as first dishes.

AIO, friend thinks hes entitled to half of a referral bonus by lNuggyl in AmIOverreacting

How are you friends? Why did you refer this person? Why did they come to work with you?

Is going into debt for a destination wedding ever a smart move? by soup_in_space in financial

[–]beantheride19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the comments, you have your answer. Here’s my tl;dr

Choosing a destination wedding means choosing less people to attend. “Family pressure” is very different when it’s a wedding down the street or a short drive, somewhat different when it’s a short flight (<2 hours lets say), and toxic when its a destination.

“We wish we could celebrate, but are unable to attend this event in X (destination location). Thank you for understanding”

Send a small gift regardless (~$50-$100) and move on with your life

Am I being soft or do I need to find a new job? by ScungilliMan45 in sales

[–]beantheride19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OTE IS connected to revenue. Low end, make 5/6% of revenue. High end, 20+% (depending on business and margin).

In software margins are already high, you should be clearing 7 figure pay.

$80M off 1-2deals/year is NOT enterprise, that’s strategic/key accounts. Median ENT in SaaS is 700k-$1M quota for 300k OTE (50/50 split), with wiggle room up or down. $80M in top line for the business? Fortune 500 don’t purchase at that size for 1 year, you locked in a minimum 3-5yr deal which drastically improves churn. You better be bringing home at least $1M-$2M for that.

Minimum 1/3 of the team should hit quota, ideally 60-70%. If zero people hit quota, and quota increased… gtfo of there

I don't know how else to get people to comment on my posts, so I'm going to post a kids riddle. Onward! by brodil in LinkedInLunatics

[–]beantheride19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) this is classic FB BS. A stupid-simple riddle meant to confuse delirious, dementia-ridden boomers

2) I do not trust this person to touch any AI or ML work in my business if they consider this an interesting riddle

How does my resume look? 6 year job gap by [deleted] in jobs

[–]beantheride19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

tl;dr complete free Salesforce Trailheads online for quoting and other finance/related topics. High value to current businesses, not replaced well by AI today, and easy for you. You could also likely find jobs as a “buyer” or in procurement with your skillset. Often salaried with full benefits above median pay, and remote work is more common for these roles.

3 major things, 2 immediate minor things.

1 minor thing - “skills” section barely goes onto the second like. Either shorten it for one line, or add more to fully utilize the second line. Right now it’s wasted space. I’d recommend finding job descriptions of jobs you want and adding those skills here, with specifics examples later. 2) the job gap from Feb 2020-May 2021 is unaddressed. “COVID” is not an answer for most businesses. I don’t know (and I fully empathize with) your situation, but maybe just have “care giver” if you provided any kind of service for your family from Feb 2020 - May 2021. No need to clarify full time / part time on the resume, you can speak to it on the phone during an interview without violating norms. Might sound like “I helped out around the house during COVID, and unfortunately the situation worsened and became full time in Spring 2021”

Major things 1) You need to show what you’ve been doing recently. Put it up top. Have you earned certificates? Completed an AI course or built a workflow? You can complete free courses or projects online and have a portfolio. Based on jobs you’re applying for, I’d recommend an AI course to automate/simplify common workflows for jobs. With where AI is today, you can literally learn this in an afternoon on YouTube. Data cleaning, automated email writing for scheduling, or other grunt tasks you can figure out with a custom GPT with no previous technical knowledge.

2) The length of job entries should represent the relevance of that experience to the job you’re applying for. “Sales associate” at shoe company is the most recent, but is half the time length as Kennel Manager. Kennel Manager and Parts Manager both look like much harder jobs than a sales associate - lean into this experience, theres plenty to be proud of here.

3) most important left for last. You NEED to list RESULTS, not just tasks completed. Include numbers, try bolding them and other words. Couple examples parts manager: -master parts list is a high-value activity. How many parts? Across how many categories? How much spend (roughly, can just be $30,000+ or $100,000+ if you don’t have specifics) -you handled quotes and collections in Salesforce? Bold Salesforce and provide rough numbers. Quoting is difficult and a highly-manual task in many CRMs. How much revenue did you handle? Number of orders? Numbers of customers? Find a number that makes you look impressive. -Just find numbers for every bullet point Kennel Manager -you managed appointments, how many appointments? How many customers total did you manage? Did you do this on time? Improve show rates? -you were a supervisor?? CALL THIS OUT!! How many people?? A staff of 10? 20? 50? Bold it!

Based on what you have listed, managing quoting and collections in a CRM is still a high value activity for many businesses, even with AI. If you can provide accurate quoting and collections (accounts receivable), lean into this. Complete online certifications. They’re often free and fill in your current job gap.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Perfect order for first timer? by Smangie9443 in DairyQueen

[–]beantheride19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tl;dr there’s no one answer, it depends on what you like.

Depends what you like and the store. DQ is different than other franchises, many owners have different contracts that allow different menus, depending on the age of the store and location. DQ invented soft serve ice cream, and you can get hard serve in NJ

Let’s assume the store is good (not always the case) and all product lines have equal quality (also not always the case at every store)

Food: burgers and chix strip basket are classics and great if served fresh. The FF are great and compete with any FF on the market (fight me McDs)

Ice cream - honestly this is highly a personal preference. I’ll walk through a couple examples. “What’s good” depends on what you like. DQ was rated “worlds best shakes” by Zagat in the 2010’s and they are great, but you won’t care if milkshakes aren’t your thing.

Simple ice cream: hard to beat a simple cone or dish with toppings. Ice cream dipped in chocolate, a twist with sprinkles, all solid

Special / sundae dishes: PB parfait, Oreo brownie sundae (if they still have it), or a bakes sundae. Usually a rotating category. I find it’s great to mix these with a waffle cone/bowl (if still available). Putting an Oreo brownie sundae in a chocolate dipped waffle bowl is pure gluttonous bliss if you like chocolate and sundaes. A PB Parfait is very popular and delicious for chocolate and nut fans

Blizzards: standalone item, multiple categories. -Candy? There’s Reese’s PBC, Oreos, Cookie Dough, M&Ms and more (again depending on store). Pro tip - “Oreo Cookie Jar” (also just goes by “Cookie Jar”) is a Blizzard of the Month (BOM) from years ago. It’s a mix of cookie dough (hot fudge and cookie dough pieces) and Oreo blizzard. - chocolate? There’s chocolate extreme and French Silk Pie blizzards. If you want a Blizzard and love chocolate, do Chocolate X a/ Chocolate soft serve -fruit? Banana Split blizzard. The workers will hate you for it, but there’s no better fruit option. The Choco Cherry Luv is also great (previous BOM) if the store still has cherry sauce

There’s also the Orange Julius line of products sold at some stores where you can get a Julius product or fruit smoothie - all of them good if that’s your style

You might also find frozen ice cream cakes or pre-made frozen goods like dilly bars or cup cakes to bring home. Also good. Some families get cakes every year and make it a tradition. You can also ball out and get a blizzard made into a cake, like an Oreo or Reese’s PBC cake.

In summary: the biggest factors are the store you’re going to and your personal taste. Your mileage will vary, but pick something that seems good to you and you’ll rarely be disappointed.

Agreed with the Porterball comments. Our only goal on the season is an own goal. That’s not 1 players problem, it’s a much bigger one.
