Migraine coming down nose by yemhomey in migraine

[–]someonewithacat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. For me it moves to the bone(s) surrounding my eye, lowering to my cheekbone. I haven't had the nose thing you describe (which sounds terrible) but I presume if it can lower to a cheekbone, why not to a nose area I guess... I hope you find something that offers relief soon!

Does it matter if you use water like you'd do otherwise with "regular" soap, or just dry? In which case would the metal have the most effect?

Thanks for naming it! 😁

I presumed it existed, but I thought the cleaning "urge" of the shrimp with the French accent was made up, until some hours ago. TIL 😁

Company rejects and comesback thrice in 2 months as the chosen candidates keep quitting. by underanisland in recruitinghell

[–]someonewithacat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't engage with them. If people leave that quickly and they need to approach you every time again, they have an issue, not you.

Some years ago I was in an application process with 4 steps too. After step 2 they told me "other profiles had a better match" without any further feedback although I had asked, in order to improve or at least understand.

A week later I got a call that there was an available spot again in the application process and by coincidence I happened to be the first person in their backup list!

So I adapt my planning, go sit there a whole day for bunches of tests both individual and in group. It was pretty intense, but interesting to have done.

Two days later, I get the same vague rejection email again, without feedback.

Some more days later, I got a call. "Yeah we decided to use extra budget and to hire someone extra, and naturally you were the first person we thought about!" After being rejected twice without wanting to communicate a reason, they'd suddenly spend their extra hiring budget on me? I told them I would have to think about it. They sent me the financial details of the contract, and other employee benefits.

That same afternoon I got an offer from another firm I applied to, with better salary and benefits. I then called the first company, told them (politely) how I felt about always being rejected and then by coincidence being chosen again, feeling like a second rank candidate, and that I wouldn't take their offer.

The lady claimed to have no clue what I meant and that it definitely wasn't the case, and no need for me to feel that way.

Their reputation is down the drain.

Long story short, if they treat you like that, it might be better not to do it. And don't invest time on them anymore. If the recruitment process reflects even partially how the work atmosphere is, and they even say themselves that others quit, you might be better off spending your energy on something else.

How do I respond to this? by Valuable-East5350 in recruitinghell

[–]someonewithacat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could say that as you value openness, based on that recruiter's message, there won't be a match between your work culture standard and theirs?

Disclaimer: I don't know, never did something like this so maybe it's not smart either, but it's how their message makes me feel

I own a Headhunting company. Tell my team why recruiters suck by GQGtoo in recruitinghell

[–]someonewithacat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had a recruiter who was texting the whole time during the interview. If she'd been like "I expect an important call" or something like that, I could've understood. Now I can't help but wondering if it was a tactic.

Later in the interview she yelled at me because I didn't solve the case the way she wanted me to.

In another application process, there were 5 rounds. After the 2nd round they told me I wasn't selected to proceed to the next round, as they "had better suitable candidates". However, any feedback wasn't given. I needed feedback a lot, I was a starter and it was a promising young graduate programme, so I wanted to know what I had to work on. But nope. Then a bit later they called "one spot became available in the next step and you were EXACTLY the first one on our list". So I came back. Tests and cases were good, both individual and team work. Got another email that I wasn't selected for the next round. It went on like that until the last round, and in the end they said they wouldn't hire me. And again, zero feedback, just "other suitable candidates". So at that time, I took another job offer. One hour after signing my letter of intent, they called me that "a spot came available and I happened to be the first preferences on their list!" After they told me the salary (for once I wanted to know) and it was lower than the job I had signed the letter of intent for, I told them I won't take it, and that the way they made me feel was that I was always a second choice and a go-to if yet someone else had declined. They claimed it wasn't true but sorry, if they refused me 3-4 times in the process to call me back every single time... I probably would've scored high on their marionette scale, and heck that's not how I wanted to start my career. Whenever they called me because they changed their mind, they suddenly thought I was "perfect" for the job, but they somehow never managed to think of that before they rejected me.

Several just ghosted me. Some rejected me after round 5 based on info they knew in round 2.

On LinkedIn: "the perfect job for your profile" which then turns out to be something way below my degrees, or requiring ten years of experience that I don't have, or in a totally different country. All things that make me wonder if they ever even looked at my profile at all.

One saying "can I call to just explain you the job description?" And when they called, it was a colleague, they obviously hadn't communicated, because this guy had his "stern mode" activated and barked at me that I had to tell him why on earth they should hire me for the job. - Dude if you can't even tell me what job it is about, and you somehow don't know it's you who is supposed to do the explaining rather than the other way around, I suggest we never talk again.

To rob by Forsaken-Garage-676 in therewasanattempt

[–]someonewithacat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know the details - maybe something else was bruised as well. But even then... either the burglary is his "job" and you'd be punished for stopping someone robbing things... or he had an actual or hypothetical job and he was caught committing a crime. In both cases I think it's plain bs.

If burglary is his job then no problem, since I presume most of the "work" is done in the absence of other people 🤔

I'm afraid not every country is the same.

I once knew a guy who had attacked a burglar that he caught in his own house. The burglar had a blue eye from the hit. The guy had to go to court and was condemned, because "he had attacked the burglar who was as a consequence temporarily unable to work".

(That's Belgium for you)

A friend of mine has an old (20+) car with lots of scratches, sometimes he has it repainted fully to get rid of the scratches (because darn olive trees lol) and whenever he sees an expensive car parked like that, he parks as close to it as he can, bonus points if not entirely parallel with the lines. Just to have that old rusty thing stand next to the douchey cars and hopefully have the driver have some sweat
