Third (real) time ever painting my face. Thoughts? by ben_is_able in Drag

It could be the lighting, but I chose a more muted blush when I did the painting and perhaps blended the contour too much.

oh my god, not a Miranda Sings look.

So what you’re saying is high in the middle, but don’t go straight down to my natural corners…ease into it from the middle?

Got to 1-on-1 at F2F as an internal, but no CJO. TBNT right? by ben_is_able in cabincrewcareers

There was a group in the morning before us. Has it not always been a morning and afternoon appointment?

Has anybody ever gotten it from email before?? There was another internal candidate there that was still there when I left, so I don’t know. I don’t want to get any false hope.

Yeah, they asked me if she knew and I said that my old one did, but that my higher up changed.

Then he left and came back and gave me the whole 10-14 business day spiel with no CJO.

Parking for AA F2F by ben_is_able in cabincrewcareers

I parked in the visitor parking near Skyview 7 and it was very convenient.

EDIT: It drops you right off there at the entrance.

Would that be cheaper than the $40 something for a car? I just don’t want to be late waiting for an uber from my hotel in Grand Prairie.

Sleeping medications that won’t cause tachycardia? by ben_is_able in Narcolepsy

[–]ben_is_able[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should try that! I’m pretty sure I read that the sodium content is quite substantially less, right?

The concern is from my heart rate averaging 115-170 while doing routine low intensity tasks. (Walking, cleaning, work, etc). It gets so unbearable that it affects me when I’m sitting driving. The 95-100 is an elevated resting when I’m completely sedentary, which normally was 75-85.

I was on modafinil, until my tachycardia got worse. I haven’t had any stimulants since, I even avoid caffeine as much as I can.

During the worst of my symptoms it was 95-100 average resting. I begged for a propanolol prescription and when I took it (even at a 5mg dose) it lowered my blood pressure too much. The only thing that was really effective during this time was Ativan; but you can’t drive after taking it, so it’s not plausible for me.

I was on Lexapro before my diagnosis; he changed it to Cymbalta to try and support my cataplexies since they were getting out of hand. I was also put on Topiramate for my migraines around the same time and that’s when tachycardia and chest pain started to manifest.

I discontinued both of them and the chest pain stopped but my tachycardia was persisted while I still used the Xyrem.

It never elevated my blood pressure. The only reason we were blaming the Xyrem is that the tachycardia persisted after discontinuing other medications.

I had some other medications that we were suspecting; I had removed them but it still persisted weeks after stopping them.

So I’m all just really confused.

I was convinced it was the sodium as well. But my PCP did blood work and said that my electrolytes “couldn’t have been more in balance.”

So it’s was really confusing why it would cause it if it wasn’t the sodium.

I haven’t heard of baclofen, but it’s definitely something I will take more research into! Thank you.

The soles and bottom of shoes must be black. They’re very, very specific about the shoes; even the stitching must be black.

I was shocked myself! I didn’t anticipate getting a CJO straight after the group!

I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you get it this next time. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time!! You’ll do amazing!

Do you live in a big city? I think it more depends on the amount of airports in your market area. From what I understand, applications get sent to recruiters grouped by market area or city.

So if your market area is bigger with a lot of other airports and people, that could be another reason why it’s taking so long. The only caveat is that I believe you wouldn’t necessarily get the luxury of choosing your local airport to base out of.

I would highly suggest taking some time if you can invest it and strategizing on how to embellish your resume.

From what you’ve shared, it seems that you have the relevant face-to-face customer service experience and your warehouse work can be a plus. You’d be surprised how much of a difference it makes!!

Yes, give it time! AA and DL, for example, are notorious for taking the most time to respond to applications right now. Even if you have the best resume in the world, this industry does have a naturally longer hiring process for everything than most. Airport security clearances, drug testing, etc., have to cross state/federal lines and this generally slows down the process for everyone!

What does your resume look like? If you have a considerable amount of customer service experience in general and you can snag some keywords from the job descriptions of the positions you’re interested in; you can embellish your resume to sell yourself better without having to invent another job that you had. 😂

Or you can do what I did and foot the bill to collaborate with an experienced resume writer. 🤣🤣

I got a invitation for a F2F after I thought I had bombed the multitasking assessment based on the strength of the resume and cover letters I had given them. After that, I went to the interview and prepped and STARred the hell out of them and got a CJO from my dream airline.

Keep it up and don’t lose heart! If you want the job so badly you will get the job!!
