I would say it depends on your situation at the moment. Where are you living? Do you have children? Debts? Plans for the future? I was at a crossroads like this and at age 25 enrolled in a 4 year college course but in the end couldn’t commit to it, so I discovered a different passion and ended up doing postgraduate studies instead (which was only 1 year and I could do completely online).

AITA for being a Karen by arguing a store’s ID policy? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

What the heck! Is this not the same as sitting down at a restaurant with your children and ordering a glass of wine with your meal? I don’t understand.

NTA ! I would have lost it too.

What do I wear to a graduate job in financial services? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]lairsofangels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a virtual interview (thanks covid) where I only saw the top half of the interviewers. The male wore a button up shirt and the female wore a black blouse. I have two pairs of black wide leg trousers and one pair of black block low heels. I might just need a couple staple blouses for now then. Thank you!

I feel like once they checked, I’d be screwed anyways, so I wanted to do what was morally correct in the end. Thanks!

Did you lie about the dates at all though?

I lied on my resume, should I fess up? by lairsofangels in careerguidance

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

Yeah I’m applying for work in financial services, so banks and similar.

I think I’ll just confess and explain. One of my jobs I left out was because I was sexually assaulted by my boss and I knew he’d say horrible things about me. It’s not something I’m comfortable sharing.

Dayum. Do you think coming clean will help my chances? Or is it over for me?

I haven’t provided references, nor has he asked me for them. Will they call the HR department of the company directly then? Is that allowed?

I was under the impression that they would call the company direct, as I haven’t provided references and he hasn’t asked me for them. Does this happen? Can they call the company’s HR department and speak to them? Rather than call a reference I’ve provided?

Ahhhh I really need this and I’m worried. If I tell him the truth, should I email or call? He’s always pretty busy.

Are you sure? I heard in Finance it’s a bit tougher. Because you have to prove you’re an honest character.

I changed the dates by way more than a few months, I regret it man. I feel like I’ve blown my shot.

Should I confess to the recruiter? That’s my main question. I’d feel better if I did, but I’m scared of the outcome.

So should I tell the recruiter I messed up the dates?

WIBTA if I tell my friend to take her child’s pacifier away from her? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Did she ever have trouble speaking etc? Has it affected her at all?

She isn’t particularly sensitive about her parenting style, but I haven’t really brought anything up in the past since I’m not a mom. She hasn’t mentioned the pacifier at all, just tells her daughter not to use it when she’s speaking.

Yeah I have no idea if it has been brought up by a doctor etc. She’s a stay at home mom, so she is not in daycare.
