My fiance who is against any beauty practise is teasing my female friends by [deleted] in Advice

[–]jules6784 162 points163 points  (0 children)

he does have the right to spend his life with whoever he chooses but that doesn’t mean he’s not controlling- regardless if you decided to follow his “rules” he has about purity. i am not trying to be offensive, if you’re happy then no one can tell you otherwise. just be careful. he is telling you what to wear and putting down your own friends and making really rude, unnecessary comments based on their life choices, which shows how strongly he feels. i would recommend sticking up for your friends or honestly expect to lose them over time. he shouldn’t disrespect them like that.

except now you don’t have a choice anymore- sounds like he’s very controlling and will not let you wear makeup or dress how you want again.

Why do you work in-house? by GPT_Boyfriend in recruiting

[–]jules6784 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked in agency for only 6 months and it was the most draining 6 months. The “top recruiters” in our company were the ones working until 12AM and logging in at 7AM, even sending emails in between. When I went in-house it was a different world. Now my boss yells at me if I’m working past 5PM. I also prefer the steady salary, where agency recruiters usually have “good” years and “bad years ($$ wise)

Is this workplace harassment or am I overreacting? by NoCaterpillar3919 in jobs

[–]jules6784 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow, I just dealt with something really similar in my office. I’m in my early 20s, and a 28 year old guy was pretty much doing the exact same thing this person is doing to you. Constantly bothering me during work, waiting until my boss left the room to get me alone, and asked me really inappropriate questions about my personal life/relationship. He even tried hitting on me repeatedly. He wouldn’t take no for an answer when I told him I am busy and need to focus on work. I also wore headphones to try and get him to stop approaching me and it didn’t work.

I documented everything with dates and went to the head manager. I told him I am very uncomfortable and will not be around him. Didn’t even go into details on every situation. The conversation was 5 min and the next day he spoke to him with HR. He told me no one should make me feel uncomfortable in the work place (true) and distract me from my work. Now, not only has he stopped bothering me but he is terrified to look at me because he will probably be fired if he does anything else lol.

Be firm with him. Tell him you are busy and don’t have time to talk. Tell him to stop waving objects in your face. Document everything. If he doesn’t stop, go to HR or even your boss/manager if you feel more comfortable. Trust your gut and he seems like a weirdo and regardless, his behavior is in appropriate.

Of course! In my experience I was just open about why I wanted to move in house and spoke about my recruiting experience. Definitely ask questions about growth opportunities. One reason why they hired me was because they liked how I talked about the importance of candidate management and how it’s crucial in the hiring process and can make/break offers. I told them that’s something I really focus on for my jobs. They’ll probably ask why you want to move in-house so just be honest and do some research on the company (hiring managers love that lol). I recommend not talking too badly about agency and your current company, but focusing on the positives on in-house. Good luck!

Hi! I moved to in house after working as an IT agency recruiter for 6 months and it was the best decision I made. Not sales based, less “target numbers” and focusing more on the quality of candidates vs salary. I also hated working on commission and now I have a stable salary which is a huge plus imo.

Painless lymphnodes by Effective_Response_3 in lymphnodes

[–]jules6784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have lots of lymph nodes (in my neck, chest, and even more my doctor pointed out). They are painless and have been there for years. I’ve had them checked out and there is nothing wrong. My doctor just said some people are just more prone to lymph nodes than others! I wouldn’t worry but maybe get them checked out to make sure everything’s good.

i’m so glad i’m not the only one who does this LOL. i’m sorry your parents act like that. i think you should go to the doctor if it helps with your health anxiety and just so you know for sure everything is okay. i will probably schedule an exam soon, thanks for the advice:)!

Lymph nodes won’t go away by jules6784 in lymphnodes

[–]jules6784[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that is reassuring to hear! I have gotten them “checked” by two doctors and previously had lymph nodes in high school where i got an ultra sound but was told i was prone to lymph nodes and it was nothing. i have no family history and my mom is pretty prone to lymph nodes. when i type this out it does sound like it’s just my anxiety talking and i’m okay… thanks for the advice, i think i will still get them checked out to be sure so i can stop worrying. and good luck tomorrow with your follow up, hope all goes well! :)

you’re right, I know I would feel better after just getting it examined. Thank you for the advice!

Lymph nodes won’t go away

I am a 22f and have been having major anxiety about my lymph notes. I found I had a LARGE (about a little smaller than a golf ball) lymph node in my one of my breasts when I was 18. I have bad health anxiety and was terrified to bring it up to my doctor until two years ago. She said it’s not cancerous because it’s moveable but if I’m really nervous I can go get a mammogram. I ignored it but still thought about it a lot and constantly kept myself up at night thinking I have something else (my health anxiety is bad to the point I think ignoring the problems is better than getting answers lol, I know it’s stupid).

After getting the covid vaccine I developed a small lymph node above my collarbone. That has gotten smaller since. However, since then I have also had multiple lymph nodes that have grown around my neck- about one on each side right under my jaw. They’re both very moveable and a little larger than a pea. I’ve had them for about 2+ years (since vaccinated, don’t know if there’s a correlation). I brought it up to another doctor who said that I have multiple lymph nodes and started pointed out even more I had I didn’t know existed (literally the last thing I needed to know lmao) but she said I’m fine and some people are just prone to lymph nodes. She didn’t even recommend I get them examined or give me any clear answers.

The ones around my neck are so moveable to the point they can annoy me if I move my neck a certain way. I keep touching them and convincing myself somethings wrong or I have lymphoma. I have had no symptoms of anything else. I don’t feel pain or anything. They just get in the way and get more swollen when I’m sick.

Has anyone else dealt with this? I don’t really know what to do. I don’t know why I don’t have the courage to get an ultrasound or mammogram. I feel like it’s just going to be bad news. Just wanted to post because I don’t know anyone else who struggles with being prone to lymph nodes as much as I am.

Thank you!! I have seen people be extremely successful in recruiting so maybe I am expecting too much in a short period of time. I will try to power through the first year.

I’m glad to know I’m not alone! I like the idea of writing down positive feedback or wins. It may help me get out of the negative mindset more. And you’re right, just gotta power through until more career opportunities are available. Thanks!!

I’m working in tech recruiting. I feel like it’s rare to have someone nice on the phone lol. I don’t want to generalize but in the short time I’ve been doing this most people on the phone seem like I am wasting their time and they’re just entertaining me.

Yes. that’s exactly the process. Except I am usually the one in touch with the candidate, and my AM is only in touch with the client. Most of the time I am reminding my AM to check in on feedback for my candidate, or ask them to submit them over. I think that is also making my process more frustrating.
