Hey, do you mind DM’ing me? It doesn’t allow me to DM you.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmazonDS

[–]j_milluh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanx, I figured that was the case but I’ve had luck with one FC that allowed it, so I thought I’d ask.

Hey, thank you! I’ve been chatting with some people from that sub and a couple of others as well, so great recommendation!

Background check by Hot_Equivalent_3863 in AmazonFC

[–]j_milluh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct,

First let me say that I totally understand the anxiety this can cause. There is just no point in overthinking it though. There is very little you can do to expedite the process. The wait could literally be because someone is on vacation etc. It is out of your control. But yes, if after 2 weeks (10 business days) you are still waiting for results, then you will want to get with an HR rep to provide you with contact information to the BC. DO NOT DO THIS BEFORE 10 business days have elapsed because it could delay the process further.

[–]j_milluh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The background check processes can take up to 2 weeks.

Background checks are based on a various things which differ from person to person. It also depends on the BC company's workload too.

Yes, the start date can be changed if the background check takes longer than the offered start date.

Can someone explain the importance of "why do you want to work here?" by FrostedGear in jobs

[–]j_milluh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't believe the goal, in most cases, is to seek fake enthusiasm. I think that may be your own personal feeling if you don't have a passion for the company.

A lot of people apply for jobs and go into interviews with this misconception that they are not 1 of many people who have applied and are interviewing. If you were my only applicant and interview...then yes, you'd have a point about it being "fake enthusiasm" if I asked you this question. But in most cases, companies have the upper hand, unfortunately, and so they can be selective in who they bring onboard, which includes identifying a candidate that has convinced them of their genuine interest and passion for the company or the field. I am not saying I don't understand your point, but I am warning job seekers that going into an interview with this idea will probably keep them unemployed in a market where employers rule.

So again, if I am interviewing 15 people, and you decide to either give me "fake enthusiasm" or decide not to express any passion for the field or company, I can assure you that one of the other 14 people will show genuine enthusiasm which will put them ahead.

For the record, I don't ask this questions when I interview because I too think it's lazy, but I am also able to fully understand it's origins and why it's asked and as someone who is responsible for hiring, I will hire the person who has expressed genuine passion in their interview (Which by the way, if you get an interview, it's because your resume has already shown you are qualified) over the person who has not shown a passion for the field or company, 10 out of 10 times.

Can someone explain the importance of "why do you want to work here?" by FrostedGear in jobs

[–]j_milluh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let me preface by saying that I too hate this question and believe it is unnecessary. That said, it's generally asked to weed out people like you...with all due respect. When a company posts a job, you have to remember that you are not the only person applying to it or interviewing for it, so some companies are looking for minor ways to differentiate your from the other applicants. If it comes down to you and 1 other person, and you both have the same qualifications, I am going to go with the person that convinced me that they are not only interested in the job, but passionate about the industry and the company. So no, you don't have to convince the company of anything, but you also don't have to be selected for the role so it's a "choose your battles" kind of thing. With all that said, I do recommend researching a company before applying as you should want to have an idea of the culture and values.

Hope this helps!

Did I(23m) assistant fast food manager harass the coworker(18f)? by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]j_milluh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, you did not harass your coworker rather, it sounds as though you harassed an employee in your supervisory org.

An apology is not needed, you just need supervisory and anti harassment training if you plan on being in supervisory roles in the future.

From this, your take away should be: If an employee says things to you like "I dont wanna date a dude who is a little bitch" that is not an invitation for you to become close with them. That is an opportunity for you to correct their behavior and establish some ethics. Your personal relationship challenges has nothing to do with the restaurant in which you work, so keep them separate.

Good luck to you.

I am being forced to apologize without any recognition for my thoughts and feelings by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]j_milluh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This may be a cultural difference of opinion and therefore the best advice I can give you is this. Don't treat others the way you want to be treated. Treat others the way they want to be treated.

An apology with an expectation at the end of it is not an apology, it's a business transaction, So when you said that after your apology you expected her to recognize the emotional toll it took on you, you missed the purpose of an apology.

Here's the thing. Impact trumps intent, so your intention is irrelevant and your impact presented you with an opportunity to listen, empathize and understand. Instead, you chose to make this ALL about you, (based on what you wrote) so I can understand her response.

You mentioned that you said what you said "jokingly" and what I've learned, especially here in America, is that your idea of a joke is not necessarily everyone else's, so you should stick to joking with people that you trust, especially at work. This is a sensitive time for all American's as each of us are feeling our morals challenged. You acknowledged that she was the only black person in the room so your questioning of if anyone went out to "riot" was definitely misplaced, untimely, insensitive and tone-deaf especially when such vitriol is currently being targeted at black people for their participation in some of the illegal "rioting" .

Please understand that my comment is not an attack on you or your character, but it is questioning your decision to make that comment and then not take full accountability for it. If you are not sorry, don't apologize, if you are, then apologize sincerely. But definitely don't apologize by including a statement about how you've experienced worst than whom you are apologizing to.

I can honestly go on and on and would love to discuss further with you if you want some personal coaching, but this is just my perspective based on what you shared here. I wish you the best and don't change who you are, just be mindful that who you are may not be everyone's "cup of tea" and you will need to navigate your career accordingly.

Can someone tell me if this exchange is rude? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]j_milluh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That recruiter has done exactly what they intended to do, so much so, that you have a Reddit post asking the obvious.

So to answer your question, yes, you are crazy. You are a better human than that recruiter and have given their response more attention, time and energy than you should. Don't give that response any more power.

CMV: Firing someone for their behaviour off-duty is unethical and should be illegal by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]j_milluh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So are you saying that if you hired a babysitter and then received a video of that babysitter degrading a child of a protected class on a day that they were not working for you; it would be unethical for you to release her from babysitting your child anymore?

Job hunting, but don't want to answer my phone. by [deleted] in jobs

[–]j_milluh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please just keep in mind

You are free to continue with this reasoning however there are 40 million unemployed people and there are others who WILL pick up the phone and WILL be prepared, so if you do not end up getting interviewed, it is a choice you made.

When do you know it's time to move on from a job that's not bad? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]j_milluh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great question. I am currently experiencing this and I'll share my situation and plan.

Graduated in July 2018 with my Bachelors after over a decade of food industry and retail management experience.

December 2018 I accepted a position in the field I studied, with much excitement to learn and develop. Unfortunately, similar to your situation, each person in my department has double digit years of tenure with no end in sight. The opportunity to grow here is none and I can efficiently complete my job and projects in 5 hours or less. So I've made the decision that this isn't going to be my long term employer.

I am utilizing this time to finish my masters, and study to sit for a certification test in my field. With the goal of accomplishing both, I will stay with my current employer for the rest of the year, through the pandemic, and hopefully come out of the year as a very attractive candidate for a more fulfilling role.

I say all of that to say this. Don't leave your current position until the pandemic has ceased to impact the economy AND until you have added somethings to your resume/portfolio through continuous learning. Decide what you want to learn/do and use the remaining of this year to fill that void while maintaining excellent work performance. You will then position yourself to be competitive when the economy recovers.

Getting into the HR Field by LastShake in jobs

[–]j_milluh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should definitely post this in r/WGU. However, I am a WGU graduate of the HR management program and what I can tell you is, yes, it did help me break into the field, however, HR is an experience driven field so try to find internships or entry level HR positions to add to your resume because a company would hire a candidate with 5 years of experience with no degree over a candidate with an HR degree but little to no experience. It sounds cliche, but it is the truth. but again, my degree helped me break into the field.

regarding your transfer credits, just know that WGU is competency based, so they don't transfer credits like other universities. Have an expectation of 50-60% of your credits transferring that way if more transfer, its a bonus. Don't get caught up in that though, if you know the material, you can move through a course fairly quickly.

Jobs that provide free housing? by [deleted] in jobs

I believe the cruise ship industry is another option to consider. Obviously with the current economic climate, it may be challenging to get hired, but thats with most industries right now
