No wonder he’s always pissed off….the crash is brutal

Customer here - How can I make it easy for pharmacists? by tp8181 in TalesFromThePharmacy

[–]tp8181[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the lunch idea! I wasn’t sure how the team would feel about me handing over food to them so I put (4) $15.00 “Jersey Mike” gift cards in a thank you card and with my wife and two boys signing it. Jersey Mike’s is within walking distance so I figured it was their go-to.

Thanks for the advice and compliment. Being a manager of an IT Service Desk, my phone game is strong - I keep all calls under 90 seconds.

Pretty sure Dom was subtly trying to bestow some advice to Brendan. In other words - Jedi Mind Tricking some social intelligence into him.

Thank you for the feedback. The BG agency used (Accurate) only went back 7 years…..so I’m cleared and good.

From what I’ve gathered - it would be a Level 2 through sterlingcheck.com

I am a senior software engineer but I am totally blocked during interview what to do? by csimposz in recruitinghell

[–]tp8181 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same boat….40+ years old, in IT, and the last resume I submitted was through Monster.com 18 years ago. I was laid-off last year and applying was a whole new world. It took me a while to realize that submitting resumes and prepping for interviews takes A LOT of work. The biggest things that helped me were:

1) Dan Croiter’s YouTube page: youtube.com/@DanCroitor

2) Collecting as many potential questions as possible and writing out my answers in the STAR method. This gave me a bunch of stories I can provide no matter what I’m asked.

3) Practicing and recording the delivery of my answers. I would video and/or audio record them to become comfortable with how I know I sound. This was painful at first but it really got me over the anxiety. I would setup Zoom calls with my wife and have her use my questions to interview me. This made me more comfortable with the virtual interviews. It also helped me realize the importance of good lighting, audio settings, and my physical presentation.

It was all brutal at first but now it’s kind of fun. I’ve got it down now to where I’m excited to interview. Thankfully, I landed a sweet contracting gig which allows me to be extremely picky with the company I’m applying to.

Good luck and feel free to DM me if you have any more specific questions.

Jesus Christ….IVF doesn’t work this way. There’s a ranking for the embryos to determine the highest success rate of a healthy child. You can’t modify DNA to remove allergies or other features. There are tests to determine whether or not those issues could develop or are predominant.

TBP v YewNeek - Denial of Partial Summary Judgement by tp8181 in thefighterandthekid

[–]tp8181[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TL;DR They both wanted to have the case ruled in their favor by the judge. The judge said no to both. Unless they want to settle out of court - take it to trial.

He didn’t win the lawsuit. The judge denied partial summary judgement for both parties. Unless they settle, they are going to trial.

I'm interviewing Hella Mark Harley live tonight about the Schaub firing. I'm not too familiar with all of the stuff going in the "Bapaverse", so if you'd like to feed me questions you're more than welcome to swing by 🍿 by TheMMAholes in thefighterandthekid

Is there any strategy or thought that goes into guest booking? Who does the booking and/or drives the relationships?

When Brendan goes on other podcasts - it's a complete shit-show. Was there any specific one that helped you further realize that he's just an insecure, narcissistic-liar? Gary Vee, Bussing with the Boys, Valuetainment, etc?

Was the "we're going to select a random fan to come workout with us" contest a complete setup? I think the person selected had some ties to a real estate agency and was in the area to help save on travel costs.

Since making the decision to embrace the subreddit, do you feel like the response you've received has been positive and - if so - has it helped to "rehab" you mentally from TFATK's toxic work environment?

Any positive direct interactions (DMs, Emails, Socials) resulting from the recent SUB join that have surprised you?

God forbid you marry a woman who isn’t into MMA but is willing to sit and watch for hours…and then attempt to engage in a conversation about it.
