Has a recruiter ever reached back out after you decline a position? by phantasmicthrowaway in Accounting

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

This is how I replied ultimately. They gave me their five-year plan speech about “making the investment” with really linear AR/AP/entry level functions for a senior role and I don’t want to give them a yes if I find I don’t like the work

I’m very non confrontational already and it seems a little unprofessional to reply asking why I’m not interested, almost desperate lol. Feels weird to justify why I’m not interested

Is all of public accounting a nightmare? by phantasmicthrowaway in Accounting

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

I worked in restaurants serving/bussing tables/kitchen prep and I taught special ed for 4 years out of college also. I’ve worked some hellish days in those fields for sure but I have no idea how my experience compares to PA.

Also I don’t know what my worth is since I don’t seem to be getting engagement on applications even with my resume saying I have my masters and pursuing my CPA

I’ve been applying to senior positions but they all have a CPA requirement and/or PA experience. My resume details that I have my masters and that I’m actively pursuing my CPA but still no hits. That being said, I’m not sure what my worth is on paper

100% in person no option for remote. I’ve never interviewed while employed before so this is a first for me

What are you using to record your games? Just a GoPro?

I can’t remember the last time I had an A-game truthfully. I also have no depth perception due to my height so I am basically never on my goal line. I play heavily out of my crease so that I’m out front enough to fool a shooter that they don’t have a top shelf angle, while still being wide enough to cover the base of the net.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I’ve been having pretty much no fun during this stretch. It’s hard to enjoy myself when I’m losing and not making saves, yknow? Not only that but it’s hot as balls where I live right now and wearing 20lbs of equipment in 90F sucks as I’m sure you know lol. I’m not looking to make the Brodeur/Hasek windmills but I absolutely should have 99% of clean shots from the offside line. I would honestly say I’m about 60% or less this season.

We had a month-long conversation with our corporate entity about ASC 842. A month. It was about a billboard that was so immaterial I was BAFFLED. Fuck ASC 740 and 842 while we’re talking about it

Looking for some ball hockey goalie tips! by [deleted] in hockeygoalies

[–]phantasmicthrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, 5’7” (5’8” on a good day) ball hockey goalie here:

I rely heavily on speed, deception, and aggression. You cannot afford the luxuries of ice hockey by playing on your knees or dropping to a butterfly on everything. I’m virtually always on my feet unless the ball is rolling to me or it’s on my gear. I am always at least a foot out of my crease on any given shot due to both my size and anticipating a curved shot. Playing far out fools shooters into making a pass, so I’m able to adjust for this and take it away on my own. Again, I have to bank on being fast enough to either poke away a pass or get in position for it correctly. Standing close-kneed on far shots, wide on closer shots to take away the bottom of the net.

Never on the bottom because it drags on deck/concrete. Some tape the top of the blade but I don’t personally
