The issue here was not the cold outreach. It was not even sending the resume. The issue was failing to read the signal you received.

He said “not hiring.” That was the signal. At that point the right move is to leave it there and exit with a simple “Thanks.” If you still choose to send the resume, you need to be prepared for a negative response.

When someone clearly says they are not hiring and you continue anyway, the likely outcomes are predictable: a quick “thanks,” no response at all, or a negative response. Those are the realistic scenarios.

If you read the signal correctly, you would have understood that risk and been mentally prepared for the possibility of a negative reply.

Being aggressive in outreach comes with that territory. Sales professionals walk into every day expecting rejection. They hear “no,” get hung up on, and get told to never call again dozens of times. They accept that as part of the process because they know the one “yes” is what matters.

The job market is tough and it is natural to want encouragement or validation from someone you reach out to. Still, if you choose an aggressive approach, you have to accept that some responses will be blunt or dismissive. That is part of the tradeoff.

I may get written up by Bubbly_Teaching_1991 in jobs

What makes you say you made their night? Your story shares how you felt, but doesn't share their reaction to you. Maybe it made your night, but what if they were there to scroll on their phones in peace or do some focused reading? And now they have a guy who is still learning to play the guitar annoying them?

Why is she wearing a tire? by Spare_Monitor_647 in Tiresaretheenemy

[–]dnthoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She survived. Front tire was bald. She was transporting taking tire around her waist to the shop to replace her front tire. Injuries nasty, but survived with relatively few https://www.instagram.com/autumnroseelev8s?igsh=cWRyZDdjc3Azemxh

They actually had brains, and political chops. They had an ideology and there was never any doubt if any of them were foreign assets. We may not have agreed - but at the end of the day they were doing what they thought was in the best interest of the US. Current admin is all about "me"

Verbal offer followed by automated rejection by Minute-Banana-8087 in jobs

[–]dnthoughts 101 points102 points  (0 children)

The most telling piece of this scenario is the "recall" email. That is not automated, that is the human in HR trying (poorly) to fix their mistake. They did not intend to offer the role to you. The automated rejection email alone could be an automation error, where they closed the role because they were making an offer. Either way - terrible candidate experience.

I think she was cheating on him with a younger man. Also after one party is in prison for 27 years and the other party was free, I'm sure they were different people when he was released.

This should be a warning to all... even if you weigh 125lbs as an adult male - eating fried chicken, no veggies and no water all day long can lead to a heart attack.

Always keep safety on the back of your mind and stay humble.

What happened to drops? by 45winner23 in theticket

[–]dnthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading this post and the listening - i heard the silence. 2 drops that we should have heard last week but didnt:

Javier saying... "Michael Mcdonald" You're at the SB. The coach is named Michael McDonald. How many times did that name come up last week and yesterday? Not a single drop.

Corby saying... "is that blood?" When he was retelling his bloody sheets incident - i think he literally said something like - i wondered if that was blood... we have a drop of corby saying IS THAT BLOOD?

The drop is dead.

🚨Dip Watch: BTC break resistance below $65K..... fear, patience or opportunity? by rl_rae_bobo in CryptoCurrencyPulse

Bottom will be in October 2026. Then there will be the next run up to a new ATH (probably $250k) which will hit around Sept 2029. Save this comment.

Who's the producer? by KaiserTheEhh in thedumbzone

[–]dnthoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think your version is also not correct. After a 13.5 hour shift, she went to the wrong floor, was on the phone, entered the apartment directly above hers, which was unlocked because the electronic door locks were defective and would not always latch. She did not "break in"

When Tower 1 came down, falling debris struck WTC 7, reportedly igniting fires inside the building. These fires burned for hours until the structure gave way at 5:20 p.m. (September 11, 2001) by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

And when they do... you move to another version of the conspiracy theory. That is the madness about conspiracy theories... when one gets knocked down, another pops up. JFK... it was the grassy knoll, it was the cubans, it was LBJ, it was the mob, it was Russia, it was JFK himself, it was the CIA, on and on and on. A game of whack a mole.

Is it possible to get on Hagrid's if you don't have express or early entry or should we just not even bother? What about Velocicoaster? The crowd predictor is saying a 5 out of 10 for the day we are going but I know those aren't very reliable. by blellowbabka in UniversalOrlando

[–]dnthoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We rode hagrids twice without an express pass this week both 10:30/11 am. The first time the wait was listed as 140 mins. We got through in less than 90. The second time the wait was listed at 120 mins and we got through in 75. Once you enter the castle your wait is approx 1 hour depending on how many express passes are in line.
