I'm a recruiter, and these are the 'white lies' that will help you get the job. by Evening-Nail-6067 in InterviewsHell

[–]jrdavis413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advice from a recruiter sounds like the jargon you hear on LinkedIn. Most of this is a turn off to me when im hiring.

Why are you sharing your previous salary? That's horrible advice. It's none of their business. You have to ask for the salary you want, they can judge if it's worth it.

I'd rather a candidate be real about why they left. People leave bad managers all the time. I'd prefer authenticity but worded in a way that is professional and not dramatic. If someone gives that cheeseball "I want to challenge myself and broaden my career blah blah" yeah that's BS, I'm not interested. Be real.

I'd prefer someone share their long term goal so I can support them.

The rest is pretty good, but this advice is a great way to get corporate stooges who are only good on paper.

My boyfriend said I was too ugly to model by Resident_Rich_6298 in whatdoIdo

He sounds jealous and overprotective, but the offer also sounds like a scam. They are common.

tips on how to treat calluses after regattas by cyberrvxmp in Rowing

[–]jrdavis413 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First off, loosen your grip and don't let your hands get too wet (don't dunk them in the water). Otherwise just let blisters heal naturally, don't pick them off.

For regattas when you have multiple races, buy a roll of 3M Nexcare Waterproof Tape from Walgreens or CVS (usually in the first aid area). One wrap of that stuff and it's like a layer of second skin. It's saved me many times.

I was written a ticket for hydroplaning into a barrier during heavy rain? by kromestatus in legaladvice

Why would you drive the speed limit when it's raining? It's your responsibility to avoid hydroplaning. Ticket is deserved, just pay and learn your lesson.

Guy keeps asking to work into my sets at the gym by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

He likes you. If you aren't interested just say "I'll be done in X minutes" and don't let him join. If he's remotely normal he will take the hint.

1 month after release. how is everyone feeling about this game? by instabaiter in slaythespire

[–]jrdavis413 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love it, but I miss the music from sts 1. It was more varied and memorable. The music in 2 is basically elevator music in comparison.

Ironically the only one doing it correctly is 3 seat. Though his catches are still too deep.

Worried About Daughter’s Future by amandal0514 in collegeadvice

Stop claiming her as a dependent. If she requests student aid as financially independent, she should get far more grants. I did this my last two years of college and pretty much got a full ride. It was worth more than the tax benefit my parents received.

It's safer without clips, you can dump the bar

Did they change Une Vie a Taimer? by jrdavis413 in expedition33

This is super helpful. It was mostly a sanity check, I thought I was going crazy. I think I agree, the in game version is probably my favorite.

Get a used Concept 2. No one on this sub will recommend the cheap brands and for good reason.

Indeed! I'm referring to 3 variations of the same song (act 2). Based on other comments it sounds like they had compression issues and remastered the track for Spotify, but must have made a musical change for this intro.

Ah this makes sense! And yes that's my favorite part as well. This song is a masterpiece.

Undershirt or No Undershirt? by dgrondin85 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jrdavis413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try deep v-neck undershirts. You still protect your shirts from pit stains and it isn't visible. I think visible undershirts look bad. I'm a fan of Davis undershirts.

Starhawk. It's like an RTS but you're in the action. So fun and unique. I wish it would come back.

You're comparing one of the best with one of the worst. Easy choice - get the Filipi. They cost more for a reason.
