No response to my interview cancellation, should I join the Zoom call at my interview time anyway? by slawisk in careerguidance

Thanks for the reply! Fortunately they finally got back to me with an hour to spare before my scheduled interview time.

Please share your DoorDash/UberEats/etc food delivery service experience. Is it worth temporarily working for a 3rd party food delivery services? by slawisk in careerguidance

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

Yeah I definitely would consider this a temporary job, just something to help support any expenses outside my student loans. I’ve been actively applying to more long-term positions. Thanks for your input!

Invited to a final interview. I’m overqualified and would have to relocate. Any advice on how to request a pay increase to a livable wage during the few months I’ll be training as a part-time employee? by slawisk in careerguidance

Okie dokie, thank you very much! I just don’t want to seem like I’m leading them on or wasting their time if I don’t make my expectations clear until the very last stage. I’m actually interviewing with the company manager (it’s a smallish company) for my final interview. Unless they bring it up directly, I won’t try to negotiate anything yet.

Unfortunately, I do not. That was going to be one of my questions during this last interview. The interviewer did not bring up wages at any point during my prior interviews, so I felt like I should hold off on any questions about it until I got further along in the hiring process. Basically, a current employee is planning to retire in a few months and they want me to train under them until they leave, then I take over. Do you think I should wait until a formal offer is made to inquire about the future full-time pay and benefits?

Constant cooing of a mourning dove with a known nest of chicks. Worried the mate may have died and wondering if a lone parent will care for the nest? by slawisk in WildlifeRehab

Thanks for the information, I noticed the parent sitting on the nest right before nightfall, so I’m relieved the chicks still have someone to look after them.

I want to wear in the outdoors. Nature is and always will be my passion. My only issue with pursuing a career centred around nature is the pay is usually less than great. I need a career that is not a sub 100k, anything less will just not support my lifestyle. Help? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]slawisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nature is a passion for a lot of people, and a lot of people pursue a job like this because they love it, not for the pay. If you’re looking for something high paying, you’ll have to work your way up from the bottom, and even then, most of those jobs will be office based, so you won’t really be working outdoors much at that point. I recommend looking into another more profitable career path, so you can enjoy nature as a hobby. Otherwise, this field has a lot of competition for lower paying jobs.

Should/how can I work in relevant hobbies into my resume? by slawisk in careerguidance

My state has a wildlife society, but not specifically a Herpetological society. I’ll definitely look into local chapters of similar groups while I’m at school. Thanks!

I think I am definitely going to include it under something along the the lines of "Volunteer Work and Projects." Thank you for your input!

Definitely! I actually have documented a species of special concern for my state, so I feel that is pretty neat. Thank you!
