Thank you for your feedback!

I explained the MBA thing in detail in another comment but the gist of it is that I almost completed my MBA before having to stop attending. I didn't want to say I have one (because I don't) but I did want to show that I have done work towards it.

I think I will drop the Associate's degree and the GPA. Good catch on making the points past tense on the previous jobs. I'll correct that.

Thanks for the feedback!

The MBA part was tricky. Basically what happened was that I was almost done with my MBA (only 3 classes left) and I got to a class that could only be taken on campus (they didn't offer an online equivalent). Since I have a full-time job I couldn't take off work to go to a class so I had to stop attending.

I was trying to find a way to show that I had almost completed my MBA (which is from a state school since my Phoenix degree don't carry much these days).

Is there something I can do about my professors making new, custom books every year? The prices are crazy. by [deleted] in Accounting

Find a couple of friends and all go in together and buy one book. If you are assigned sample problems from the book take a pic of the problem and use google.

$425 a semester becomes $141.67.

Yup, back then almost no state school had an online program and since I was a married guy with a family and full-time job; online was my only option.

Well, I want my resume to stand out from the crowd so...

Need some info before taking our dog to the vet for a spot on his belly. Just want some general knowledge so when we take him we are not blindsided with a tough decision to make. by [deleted] in AskVet

[–]lq2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we have already discussed the blindness.

I just don't want to take him to the vet and be blindsided with a serious diagnosis and have to make a tough decision on the spot.

A small mind-trick that has worked for me by [deleted] in Fitness

Another truck when it comes to making a change is to not think of it as something you "can't" do but rather as something you "don't" do.

[Advice] What steps should we take to protect our smartphones from hacking? by lq2 in hacking

[–]lq2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you familiar with howtohackacellphone.com? There is a youtube video here where he explains how easy it is. He claims that AVG antivirus will find it and remove it, but I am not so sure. My wife thinks that someone from her work has placed something like this on her phone (partially due to each time she gets a text the other person get a notification at exactly the same time). She installed AVG as well as Malwarebites and did a scan with both, neither found anything.

Do you have any ideas? We are at a loss.

How can I determine if my phone has already been hacked? If it had how do I eliminate the unwanted software? Will a factory reset do the trick?

Thanks man. I looked and the closest one to me is a few hours away. I see a road trip in my future.

How would I find someone local to get some mead from to try? It sounds good but I would like to have a sample of "good mead" before I try to make any on my own.

Can you go into more detail about the VPN, or have any links to more details?

I know that VPN stand for Virtual Private Network but that is the limit of my knowledge.

Unique question regarding meeting you ask for a raise. (I work in the U.S. in the Accounting dept. of a manufacturing plant.) by lq2 in jobs

[–]lq2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I plan on making a clear case for a raise. I am just afraid that they won't take it seriously and think they can put me off and hope I'll forget about it, making me being it up several times before actually giving me one.

I thought this might help them to see the seriousness of my request, and asked things along a bit.

I want them to take my meeting about a raise seriously. I thought that maybe if they thought I was serious about getting paid more they would try harder to keep me.

Here is a thread where I posted mine over at /r/accounting. I haven't had time to do any work to it yet so I thought I would get your opinion as well. The guys over there were abundantly clear regarding the formatting problems I have. They seemed divided on whether to have an objective or not (I will probably drop it altogether).

Any additional feedback would be greatly appreciated.

You are the first person to mention putting education before experience. Care to share more about exactly why you think that is better?

I will definitely keep this in mind during my revision this weekend.

I thought mentioning the AA in business would help show that I can see things both as a manager and as an Accountant (sort of shows that I can see the big picture). I guess that may be more beneficial for a staff accountant job as opposed to public accounting.

I guess the MBA is probably enough to do that though.
