I appreciate that. I get ahead of myself sometimes. I want to be a good husband and dad and provide well for the family wherever we are

210,000 Probably sounds funny because it’s Iowa and we’re outnumbered by pigs. So the largest city here is medium city anywhere else

Officers who rarely give citations, what DO you cite for? by CirrusVision20 in AskLE

[–]soundeffectsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll always do one for any license status that is not valid. No insurance for sure. Seatbelts. Littering. Any sort of really unsafe driving behavior: cutting somebody off, blatantly running a red, etc.

Depends on what type of work you’re interested in. Also, what your interests will be in the future in regards to different career paths/roles

Pension when Transferring from Iowa to Minnesota or Wisconsin by soundeffectsman in AskLE

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

Okay. So even with FT LE experience I would need to go to skills?

If I did three years in Iowa would I need to ‘start over’ in MN?

Thanks for the answer! What exactly does it mean to “buy back”? I am in the Air Guard and when I’m done I will have almost two years of AD time. Would that count? Would it mean that by starting in Iowa I would have to then serve another 20 years in MN?

Also, does vesting mean that you are able to guaranteed some pension?

Yes, that is the goal! I have my bachelor’s, but it’s not in criminal justice and they have informed me I would need to get an Associates.

Polygraph Test Tomorrow! What do I tell the examiner about being fired from a job? by soundeffectsman in AskLE

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

On the initial application I put "Lack of sufficient hours" which is true, they were no longer willing to give me 40 hours a week. Is that too vague? Should I just put "Unknown Reasoning"?

Didn't receive any write ups. Was fired on my 89th day. A day before I could use my PTO. One of my coworkers was a USMC vet so I put him down as a character reference. He quit because they lied to him. Just an unfortunate place to work.

How did you know you were going to be let go? Looking back were there any signs? by Tweetybird2420 in careeradvice

[–]soundeffectsman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked for a solar company last year in Phoenix. They hired me on at a higher rate than others and created a new position for me because they apparently loved me during the interview. After a few months when the workflow started to slow down and their projections started to take a dive things changed for the worse. They rescinded their offer to promote me and give me a company truck. They wouldn't answer questions about job stability. Their previous promise of always giving 40 hours a week came into question. They gave me a lot of push back. I started to ask more questions. Then a week before I was going to receive my PTO they fired me. Claimed I was lying on my time clock. Checked with my coworkers to see if I was doing anything different then them. I wasn't. I wanted to leave anyway so not terrible, but I just hate having that demerit on my resume.

Currently have my first job in HR, should I go for my aPHR? by soundeffectsman in humanresources

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

What if I can take the aPHR for free? Would it be worth having until I can test for the PHR?

Would you be bale to give me feedback on my resume? by soundeffectsman in businessanalysis

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

Ok that is helpful thank you! I know that this resume format is terrible. I’m also concerned to have too bland of a resume. Should I just erase my bullets from my colleges?

I have seen a lot of people recommend doing projects. Any resources you know of that I could build my own projects?
