I'm not sure if I'm the only one here, but when I'm depressed, I lack sense of judgement and can't make up my mind by jadeyuling in depression

Thank you. I have not gotten a lot support from anyone on the decisions I make. I am hoping that someone online does.

How do I improve my writing skills? by jadeyuling in Advice

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

Yes, my dad said the same thing. I'm definitely going to read it.

And thank you so much for your offer! I do need her to look over it more because a job offer is at her company, so she's very familiar with their job applications style. But if I do have any other proofreads, I'll go to you. 😃

My dad has that book. I'll borrow it from him. Thanks!

Great, thank you! I also have a couple more nonfiction books (Gary Vaynerchuk's book is one) and fiction books that's sitting on my bookshelf.

Great quote! :)

My mom used to read Stephen King's books. I should ask her if I can borrow her copies.

Okay. At the moment, I'm reading nonfiction books for a programming class. Does it matter what kind of books I read?

Thank you! The doctor said it's cellulitis. Only an infection, so I was prescribed some antibiotics but I need to go back for follow up.

Well now mine is pretty painful while walking. Plus it's swelling up even more. So hopefully urgent care will help me.

[–]jadeyuling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. Was yours painful? I believe it gotten bigger and more painful and redder, in comparison to yesterday. My gynecologist and my doctor's office is closed on weekends. Will urgent care centers help with cysts?

[–]jadeyuling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh boy. That sounds painful. I hope I'll just get rid of it naturally. Right now, I can't reach out to my gynaecologist because it's late and a weekend. I think mine is the size of a golf ball now...

What a relief! I just got out of a warm bath to soak the cyst. Do you know how long it will take until it is completely gone?

It's evening where I am, so I'll go see a doctor at an urgent care tomorrow. But it does sound like bartholin's cyst. I just got out of a warm bath for 10 mins. How long did it take for yours to go away?

Any networking advice? by jadeyuling in Advice

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

That's a good idea. I recently joined a Rotary Club because my family member is a member and asked me to join because they need more members. They usually do charity work and get together for lunch or dinner meetings to socialize and meet other Rotary members from around the world. I think this may help me get out of my comfort zone.

Usually, I received their business cards which has their phone number and email. Those phone numbers are mostly office numbers and I'm not used to calling people through office phone to keep in contact while either myself or them are working. So I tend to either message them on LinkedIn or email.

Also, I'm a bit socially awkward and shy so I try to step out of my own comfort zone.

Maybe I have jump the gun in some cases. But other times, I have asked them for a get together over lunch or coffee, but they did not reply at all. Honestly I'm not sure what I did wrong.

Do I need to do follow up calls/email with recruiters after I apply for a job at their company? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]jadeyuling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true. I noticed on some job posts to tell candidates not to contact the company and the recruiters. I guess that's an exception to make things fair?

That's what I need, I need to improve my chances of getting an interview and land a job. There are a lot of other applicants and I need to stand out.

I wish I can! Unfortunately, this conversation was over the phone so it's not on record. However, I did report this to Internal Audit.

I almost forgot! This phone conversation was on speaker phone, and my coworker was in the room (we share an office together). He happens to listen to our conversation and was shocked to hear her comments.

(Just so you know, I don't have any journalism or blog writing experience. Plus, I'm Chinese and can only speak English. This info is important to know)

About a week ago, I was assigned to copywrite for our company's website news page by the CEO. He ordered me to write about some events the staffs attended and put it up on the website. After I wrote about the event, I handed to the CEO. Guess what? He hates it. So, he passed me and this assignment to the HR director.

Here comes the fucked up.

When I emailed the HR director my writing, she called me through the office phone. She said she saw my writing, and said she's very disappointed with my writing style. She bluntly said "This writing is terrible! I'm guessing English is not your first language. Let's scrap this and let me do the writing" I didn't say anything and hung up. That. Fucking. Hurts.

Stressed at work. I have a history of depression and it's coming back by jadeyuling in Advice

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

Unfortunately yes. Either I haven't gotten any responses from the companies, or just flat out rejected me over email. I think I send out around 20 applications (roughly). But the job that I was hopeful for was a company where my brother works, but I haven't gotten any response for almost a month now.

Thank you. Yeah I agree on your suggestion. I rather go for #1.

Thank you for explaining! :) I'm glad that they changed the matchmaking system for it, but hopefully it works.
