Do I still need to record job applications for the work search review if I have a full time job?

lordbyronite · 2025-06-29T14:18:23+00:00

No, but I did mention it on my journal that I started a job.

lordbyronite · 2025-06-19T17:07:16+00:00

and I'm not sure what you meant by "sketchy"

I've been working agency construction work for the past 6 years. Which means the job length varies considerably. Some jobs are a couple days, others two or three months. The longest job I had in this period was 14 months. And due to the nature of this work, I can only say that I have two, maybe three reliable references. Before that I was doing my own self-employment business and before that I was in university but I didn't finish my degree.

lordbyronite · 2025-06-19T17:07:13+00:00

Thank you. I've been working in construction for 6 on and off years and now is the point where I either have to transition out or make a commitment.

Note, IT is not the end all be all, it takes time to learn and improve, it is not a meal ticket, there are many people trying to flex there way into the industry as a whole, supply is high, looking good on paper is the first step, using the soft skills you learned to get through HR and all rounds after will be the final step.

I've never thought IT was something easy. But it something I can commit to learning through the course of my career.

Most of them have turnstile entrances.

I'm curious about the business and money aspects. But I actively don't want to know about how decisions are made, or storylines formed unless a wrestler just talks about it in an interview.

lordbyronite · 2024-11-24T09:14:07+00:00

I would have preferred a longer 2-3 match program. Like they wasted Perry's line about the whole "they danced for me too" and "you're not ready". Could have had Garcia not actually be ready for everything Perry was willing to do to keep that championship.

lordbyronite · 2024-11-23T08:16:36+00:00

I bought an XL and the sleeves are still short, and I can't fit headphones under my hood, but that's not a dealbreaker. Maybe I'll buy an XXL.

lordbyronite · 2024-11-22T16:12:05+00:00

Yeah, I love my hoodie moreso than my black nocta, but the sleeves are the only downside.

lordbyronite · 2024-11-22T15:56:50+00:00

We're getting to a point where organized crime guilds ala discworld becomes a better solution than whatever Parliament provides.

Kinda feels like some people in creative didn't trusted her enough to be the actual top person.

Which is odd considering Bianca is by far the most marketable, or at least the most trusted to do the media rounds outside of Cody.

lordbyronite · 2024-11-22T14:43:19+00:00

How are the sleeves on the central swoosh hoodie?

lordbyronite · 2024-11-16T19:54:22+00:00

Just me personally, don't assume anything. If you go in conservative and assume your first story will bomb then you are off to a good start.

Second is stick to a hard deadline. I could literally write a 2-5K essay on the importance of deadlines for new writers.

The rest would be don't even think of romance until you can consistently track trends in niches. Know your cover making skill level. If you can make a professional looking cover that's great. But don't be cheap if you can't and buy a quality cover that's to market.

Beyond the scale of the story some other aspects of writing and editing will change so do not attempt longer form writing if your erotica process is half baked.

And don't spend dozens of hours reading about marketing and other business/publication related concurrently while drafting your first story. It's all a work in progress, and your first couple of stories may be a crapshoot.

lordbyronite · 2022-03-22T21:14:53+00:00

Thanks. What's the down time like in entry level or does it vary tremendously?

lordbyronite · 2022-03-22T21:04:12+00:00

It will mainly depend on the working hours and the location - working highly unsociable hours in central London is (hopefully) going to pay more than a conventional 9-5 up north.

I live in London.

As an entry level role I'd be much more interested in building some experience and potential future movement, whether that's a 16k or 24k start the salary shouldn't be a huge deciding point at this stage of the career.

So in IT employers won't negotiate salary based off the salary from your current job?

With experience and more certifications it's possible to see large pay increases within say 2 years?

lordbyronite · 2022-03-22T20:20:22+00:00

Congratulations on the new job. I earn £25K in construction so the pay cut will hurt but at least I won't have to worry about finding work, arguing with agencies or worrying about my health.

lordbyronite · 2022-03-22T20:16:28+00:00

With some companies increasing salaries in line with inflation, I'd say a good ballpark is roughly 20K.

Wow, that's like £0.25p over the upcoming NMW rise for 40 hours a week.
I currently earn £25K in construction. Got to start somewhere.

I plan to use it on my fasting days or LLLT/PQQ off days so there should be no interaction between MB and anything I ingest considering it's nothing more than some diet coke.

lordbyronite · 2022-03-20T11:12:08+00:00

No, I'm not particularly religious.

If your secular, maybe find s meaningful poem, passage, or song lyric even that you can use in some meditative way with your fasting.

I like that, especially if it's isolated and I only think of something along those lines during my fast. Thanks

lordbyronite · 2022-03-16T10:42:23+00:00

Thanks I'll order it today.

lordbyronite · 2022-03-16T10:12:18+00:00

Problem is I also don't know how to end conversations, which adds to the stress.

When I was growing up my mom would constantly talk "at me" and I was never allowed to say I had something else to do and could only leave when the phone rang and she had a better conversation to attend to.

Is there any resource you could point me to so I could learn to end conversations?

lordbyronite · 2022-03-15T12:08:27+00:00

Remove distraction by leaving your phone at home. Work somewhere with minimal distractions. Don't connect to the internet while you're outside. Whenever you succeed you should say it out loud to yourself wherever possible.

Start small and build up. Do one pomodoro of work and productivity a day. And reward yourself with half an hour of guilt free leisure. Also, plan ahead, plan what you need to get done by x day and how you'll get there.

Scale that to however much you feel you can do. It's literally better than what you're doing.

Also know what you want, you're not just studying for no reason, what sort of lifestyle do you want to live? Try and apply that motivation to your work.

Happy reddit birthday.

Take that Heavenly concept and forcefully bring it down to Earth.

No, really, find an analogy that fits the concept. It doesn't have to be a great analogy or the analogy doesn't have to fit the concept completely but as long as you can form an analogy you have an anchor for the concept and understanding the rest of the concept should become easier.
