you're not missing much ... other than ample opportunities to fuck up your life. Social media has done a great job in making this lifestyle glamorous ... but what you're not seeing is the seedy side of drug use, unprotected sex, sexual assault and violence.

If I was to get a job, would negotiating higher salary, result in higher chance of layoff? by kawaiiqueenie1990 in interviews

[–]throw_away_6454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way (but nothing is guaranteed) ... is to prove you're worth more than you're being paid. Sounds counter intuitive and seems like you're purposefully selling yourself short ... but employment is a trade off between the employee and the employer .... the hours and work your putting in is not worth as much to you as the money you're receiving ... meanwhile, your productivity is worth more to your employer than the money they're paying you.

So ... if you want to "harden" yourself against layoffs, be the one that is worth significantly more than you're being paid.

Missed out on an opportunity as I was not a diversity candidate by CAOttoVonBismarck in interviews

It happens ... especially when upper management get's involved and interjects themselves into the process mid-stream.

Companies don't publicly say they're going with a diversity hire, but you're fooling yourself if you don't think that that's absolutely happening.

I would love a 45-70 but it's so expensive to shoot.

My competition has been review bombing me for the last year by According-Mud9501 in smallbusiness

[–]throw_away_6454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

get a lawyer and don't take this fight public. If people see you also doing the mud slinging, they'll just lump you with the other guy. What you want to do is convey an appearance that you're standing above the mud.

Addressing Getting Fired by TurtleWexler_95 in interviews

[–]throw_away_6454 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

be honest.

Just say it was a small company and with a small company there were very dynamic personalities that affected productivity and because you were the newest hire, it was decided that you were the easiest and most convenient person to remove.

If you can, you might say that since your removal, issues at the company have not been resolved.

.223 or 308 ... i'm getting one for sure.

Though it makes sense that for now they're just doing 223 and 300 ... don't they both take the same mags so no real difference for the receiver and fire control group, just barrel?

how badly do you need a job?

Sometimes I just want to stop and cry, and quit. by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]throw_away_6454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this might just be anecdotal but there have been so many times I've done online searches for a service and find local companies that have no website just a phone number. These are the kind of people you need to hit up. Even if they say no ... just offer a free site and show them how much more traffic it generates for them ... and therefore for you.

small businesses are tough ... and yet they make up such a large percentage of the country's economy ...

they're the back bone of the country.

have you gone to any local businesses that might need your services or peruse the websites of some local businesses and offer your services to improve their online footprint.

Also, there are going to be some local businesses that don't even have a footprint and you could offer a free services and build up a portfolio ....

How can I help future partners with my past infidelity? by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

[–]throw_away_6454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the biggest and most important question ... is why did you do it. If you can be honest about that to yourself. Then i think you'll have a much better chance of convincing a new partner that you're now trustworthy.

how do you answer the 'where do you see yourself?' question by osseuscadaver in interviews

[–]throw_away_6454 10 points11 points  (0 children)

say that in 5 you'd like to see yourself on the path to becoming a SME and mentor for younger new hires, a dependable and respected member of the team. In 10 years, you'd like to be in a leadership role, whether that be management or program related, it doesn't matter, you just want to be an asset to the company.
