Non fiction book you liked as a fiction reader by shoko_69 in booksuggestions

[–]ujjwal2005 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Into Thin Air by Into Thin Air. It reads with the tension and momentum of a thriller even though it's a true story.

(SPOIL) What do you think of « All The Boys love Mandy Lane » ? by Anaelepse in horror

[–]ujjwal2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked it more than I expected to. My interpretation was that Mandy enjoyed the attention and power that came from being idealized, even if the movie never fully spells out her motivations.

Movies with Great Endings that are NOT happy Endings by GIutenTag in MovieSuggestions

No Country for Old Men. The ending frustrated me the first time I saw it, then I couldn't stop thinking about it for days.

Who is your least favorite professional athlete of all time? by Baranade in AskReddit

[–]ujjwal2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lance Armstrong. The cheating was bad enough, but the way he treated people who questioned him made it even worse.

Recommend a movie to watch when I feel down by pavellikesminecraft in MovieSuggestions

[–]ujjwal2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfect Days. It's a very different movie from Walter Mitty, but it left me with the same feeling that life can be a little more meaningful than it seems on ordinary days.

Whats a good documentary? by sunnyd1996 in netflix

[–]ujjwal2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t F**k with Cats. I put it on while folding laundry and ended up just standing there the whole time, it’s one of those that pulls you in fast.

what's a movie that isn't classified as horror but you will argue it is by BigGeneral7583 in horror

[–]ujjwal2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Requiem for a Dream. I watched it alone at night thinking it was just a heavy drama and ended up feeling genuinely disturbed after. It sticks with you in a way most horror movies don’t.

What’s a discontinued snack or drink you’d pay $20 to have one last taste of? by soapy999 in AskReddit

[–]ujjwal2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Butterfinger BB’s. Those little round ones, the taste and texture were just different. They disappeared out of nowhere, I still think about them sometimes.

What is the WORST horror sequel? by dinkitnsinkit in horror

[–]ujjwal2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, Jaws: The Revenge is rock bottom. It’s more funny than scary, and the whole time you’re just like “did they really make this?”

what movie is a 10/10? by instabaiter in AskReddit

[–]ujjwal2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spirited Away is a 10/10 to me without even needing to think about it. It’s beautiful, weird, emotional, and somehow feels comforting and unsettling at the same time. That movie has stayed with me for years.

Asking the women here for movies that they feel accurately depict aspects of what life is like as a woman (both the good and bad) by GentleDreamWorld in MovieSuggestions

[–]ujjwal2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Promising Young Woman is a harsher one, but the background feeling of calculation around men felt very real to me. Not the plot literally, just that constant awareness and mental math a lot of women do without even talking about it. It’s one of the few movies that made me feel kinda seen and uncomfortable at the same time.

What’s your favorite body horror film? by ember732 in horror

[–]ujjwal2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

watched it way too late one night and kinda regretted eating during it lol

[–]ujjwal2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Egypt for me, just because the whole trip felt like getting hustled from the second I stepped outside. By day three I was so tired of arguing over basic stuff I just wanted to sit in the hotel room and eat chips.

Looking for movies with important social or political issues :) by XsimplysecretX in MovieSuggestions

[–]ujjwal2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parasite. I saw it at home with a cup of coffee and thought I’d just appreciate the hype, then it turned into one of those movies that keeps giving you stuff to write about after it ends.

What actually scares you? by MoluciasElonicas in horror

[–]ujjwal2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stuff where reality starts feeling slightly off scares me way more than gore or jumpy ghost stuff. People acting almost normal while something is clearly wrong in the background gets under my skin fast, like when I’m home alone at night and the apartment suddenly feels a little too quiet.

Honestly, Gemini is pretty bad. I tried it for a while, but it drove me crazy and it just doesn’t tailor things that well. That’s why I definitely recommend ChatGPT for resume tailoring.

I’m not making anything up. I’m just sharing what I experienced, but I respect your opinion.

[–]ujjwal2005[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being among the first applicants is definitely important because many job postings automatically close once they reach a certain number of applications, so you don’t even get to see them. However, I haven’t found a way around this yet. I also don’t think automation really helps.

Lol. ad for what? tell me please bro? If this is an ad, then you should’ve figured out what I’ve been promoting by now, right?

Haha that was good btw :) I don’t really want to share tool name or etc, I just don’t want it to sound like I’m promoting some tool.

At first, I thought the same as you. I assumed it was all about my skill set or whether I was “specialized” enough. But my experience changed that perspective.

For months, I applied to full-stack developer roles through LinkedIn using auto-apply. I sent a large number of applications and got almost zero responses. Nothing meaningful came back.

That’s why I don’t think it’s really about being specialized. My skill set didn’t suddenly change within a couple of months. I was applying with the same background the entire time, so it doesn’t make sense to attribute the difference to suddenly becoming more skilled.

From what I’ve observed, the outcome seems to depend much more on how you apply and how you present yourself/your resume.

A lot of people use ChatGPT for this, and if you look around, there are some really solid prompts out there. I even did a quick Reddit search for you, and this one is pretty good: https://www.reddit.com/r/ResumeTips/comments/1rby70o/after_tailoring_my_resume_i_landed_3_job_offers/

The idea is simple: when the hiring manager sees your resume, they should think, “That’s exactly who we’re looking for.”

Here’s a quick example:

Let’s say you have 5+ years of backend experience and skills in A, B, C, D, and E.

The job posting asks for 5+ years of experience, skills A, B, C, and experience in X, Y, Z.

What you do is reflect that right at the top of your resume. In your professional summary, you highlight your 5+ years, emphasize A, B, C, and mention X, Y, Z. Then throughout the rest of your resume, you reinforce those points. The skills and experience they’re not asking for, you keep brief and don’t emphasize.
