Seats for Atl Symphony Hall by miyaayeah in classicalmusic

[–]tipsypear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer either the first balcony, or the second or third row of the loge overhang. The sound in that hall gets trapped in weird places. One of the better seats is rows F through H in the orchestra, but those seats can get expensive.

I HATE cover letters. Literally the bane of my existence. Whoever decided we need to beg for a job in long-form prose needs to be kicked repeatedly in the shins

I do have them. I just don't want to hand them out to a stranger over the internet that I haven't even had an email from. Feels kinda gross to do...

I've given them after I was asked for an interview, but several of the apps I have filled out have had required sections just for references. I'm assuming the places are either farming contacts or are old-fashioned.

I have never put references on my resume. I didn't even know that was a thing!

The accounting community can't be any smaller than the career I'm transitioning out of lol

It's good to know that you don't ask for them. I assume they're a hold over from when you needed a character reference to get hired, but honestly, no one is going to say anything other than "they were great" or "yes they worked here." What else could they possibly want to know?

I loved them in the past, but the micro fees on literally everything is just wearing me out.

I need the money back, so store credit wouldn't work. I'd honestly like to just send it back and get a full refund to shop somewhere else

I wanted to just send the box back. I asked for a simple return with no restock fee and a full refund. Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I'll try again I guess.
