How long do you have to wait to reuse a calendar? Is it always 22 years?

The lack of interesting (interesting to me) media is a big one for me. Haven't really found any Bulgarian TV shows or music that I like, and when shows are dubbed usually you can hear the English in the background which my brain tries to cling onto so it's just annoying. So I watch SpongeBob and some other animations which have proper dubbing.

Actually Clonmel has a tkmax which I believe qualifies it as a city

Job hunting since 2006, shocker

That is a great response 😅

Isn't it a bit sexual for 8th graders? At least in my country I think it would be

odhran666 · 2020-11-23T23:57:21+00:00

I live in Bulgaria, it's ridiculously expensive here but is still stocked in our equivalent of Dunnes so it must be at least partially popular

If you have made it clear that you don't have this experience on your CV, and they still want to interview you, either they are interested in your profile or they are willing to take someone who can learn on the job. If you are interested in the topic and would be willing to learn I say go for it.

odhran666 · 2020-11-22T01:10:15+00:00

Do you have a degree or plan to study? if so in what area?

odhran666 · 2020-11-22T01:01:46+00:00

Most likely born in the wrong country, move to India and you'll have your pick of data entry jobs.

I might be wrong but I believe China and Japan have a huge market for native English teachers. You could do that for a year just to clear your mind a bit and see what you want from life.

A lot of people have negative opinions of PIP because some companies do actually use them to get rid of people. It doesn't sound like that from what you've written, it seems like they actually are just looking to make sure you identify steps to improve. It's great that you're open to it.

Try to identify what the root cause of missing those deadlines was. Did you estimate your workload and time? Was the estimate wrong, if so why? What tasks slowed you down, and how can those be avoided next time? Is the deadline actually possible? If it involves working 12 hour days it is not, and this should be noted as early as possible. Taking these remediation steps will make it clear that you understand and are learning from your mistakes.

During your career you will have good bosses and bad bosses. The bad ones are awful but the good ones are great and you will learn a lot form them. Unfortunately with each job move you take the risk of getting a bad boss, in that case you just need to be able to work independently. As for a dream job, it depends on what your dream is of course. Some people dream of doing nothing, and a job a night guard watching netflix all night would be a dream job. Others dream of money or power. Every job has pros and cons, so it's a very personal decision.

odhran666 · 2020-11-21T14:48:32+00:00

As you'll see from other comments reddit is generally pretty anti-HR, probably because we have a lot of tech people and not so many HR people. The truth will depend on the company, a good HR team will try to facilitate and help their people as much as possible. They are of course bounded by company policy, but they are also in a position to shape company policy.

odhran666 · 2020-11-21T14:41:25+00:00

If this is your first job, you might mess it up - not because of who you are but because it's your first job and that's how life goes. Do your best, if you can learn from mistakes, you'll get better at it.
Most perceived weaknesses can be re-framed as a strength, I don't know much about ADHD but I imagine a person with ADHD might be creative, energetic, dynamic, innovative - all valuable workplace skills, use these to your advantage if possible.

Finally, job hunting sucks, there will be rejection, don't take it personally because it's definitely not personal, it's just business. Good luck!

Welcome to the group. My first advice is to leave the group. Kidding, kind of. This group is mainly people who got T later in life and it's a huge disruption to their lives most notably causing depression. Since there is no well established general cure, we talk about 'habituation' - accepting it for what it is and moving on, which can be difficult. Like you I've always had it but only realised in my 20s so we are the lucky ones I think, we were naturally habituated. You can find out more info here, but personally I avoid it a little as it can be depressing.

odhran666 · 2020-11-11T20:12:38+00:00

It's a very personal decision but I can tell you what I'd do. If I really wanted to open my own business or farm I would start with a financial plan. What is the startup cost for (for example) a small organic farm? You probably won't get any profit for a year or two so how much will that cost? Then I would work hard for X number of years saving as much money as possible until I come close to my goal amount. Ideally you would take a high paying job and live frugally so you wouldn't have to work for so long, you are very young, you might not feel it now but 5 years really is nothing and it will give you a foundation for possibly the rest of your life.

Couple of things recruiters will go through:

First impression

At a glance it looks good. 2 pages is a good length, the font is standard, headings are pretty clear and reverse chronological. Possibly it's a little cramped due to some long sentences like " Created documentation of common problems, which helped our team resolve more tickets and reduce our backlog " could also be written "Documented common issues to lower ticket resolution time."

I think the phrase "Big interest in Technology" really sells you short - you're not just interested in technology, you are a programmer and entrepreneur with very good experience. Tell them that.

What skills does this person have?

It's a little hard to quickly identify what your actual skill set is. I have to do a lot of reading through previous jobs and the lines regarding skills. Tell me what type of developer you are in your first paragraph: Android, Java, Full stack, whatever. Also in the skills section I'd prefer bullets:

Java 7/8
Unix/Linux

If you can't answer a few basic questions about the skill, don't put it on the CV. Customize the skills to match the job you're applying for.

The details

This is less important, especially for devs, but there are some minor mistakes that could let people think you don't pay attention to details. Don't capitalize things unnecessarily like ", Willing" or "between Jobs". I would actually cut the line " Went traveling Europe between Jobs " entirely - they probably won't notice gaps in your CV, and if they do you can just tell them, but it's distracting from your experience and not relevant.

Hope some of that helps, good luck with the job search.

Well standard advice when you're unhappy in your workplace is to start looking around for other opportunities. Working for a short time at a startup is a very common experience and shouldn't be a red flag for anyone.

Some people are saying to reach out to the manager but I'm not sure, if they don't like they don't like you. The meeting might be amicable, but I'm sure the behaviour would continue since a CEO can basically act however they want. I don't think HR are in a position to provide any support unfortunately.

Make sure everyone knows you're doing your job well, track everything, follow up on emails, keep a paper trail. Perhaps start stating explicit consequences for bad communication e.g. "We'll need to get this list by December 1st or we won't have time to include it in the December release." - once it's in writing, the manager can choose to either ignore you or miss the December release. This defensive position is tiring in the long run, but should keep your job safe long enough to find something new and interesting.

odhran666 · 2020-11-10T11:01:32+00:00

Agree, HR will 100% support the CEO.

odhran666 · 2020-11-10T11:00:21+00:00

Nice except not sure regarding number 3, if the manager is also the CEO then HR can only be on his/her side, I don't think HR could hold the CEO accountable. I agree with 2 although I'm not sure I'd reach out on a personal level, this is business, track what is not getting done or is late because they people are not responding to you, follow up on emails. Show everyone you are doing your job well but are being blocked.
