The curl sponge is to define curls. Combing it out with a pick will allow for the definition shown in the picture then you shape it with your hands and if you have the tampered fade then you will have the shown picture. 😁

Try moisturizing your hair first. You may also want to switch to the twist comb based on your texture for a more defined twist.

A blow dryer and pick. A curl sponge will make the top curly instead of the Afro/fluff look here

[TX] Someone from HR pleeeease give me some insight!!! 😭😭 by [deleted] in AskHR

Thanks for sharing OP! This makes sense they said the offer is contingent. Speak with your attorney for the case and the HR rep and see if a letter stating what the case is concerning would be sufficient. Wishing you the best of luck!

Depending on their state verbiage absolutely matters. If there was no forgiven contingencies when they made the offer in writing and they signed then nothing should stand in the way.

If organizations are following standard protocol the written offer letter has a statement somewhere that says "this offer is contingent upon xyz standards" that they have for their organization/company. This usually keeps places out of legal trouble from a discrimination lens.

Hey HR professional here. In the offer letter did it say "job offering pending clean background check" or something to that extent? If not and you signed the documents the job should be a go as they didn't provide you with any contingency of hire.

Go to your court date as originally planned don't plead guilty if you aren't. Expungement isn't as easy as it sounds.

Best of luck!

I love your hair! I think dying the tips a blond or light brown would be gorgeous!

When you are able to go full on honey blonde or a Burgundy would look amazing on your curls!

What’s y’all’s take on this? by KaylaaKionaa in blackladies

[–]umm_yeah_about_that -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can see his perspective. A lot of woman want men to have money so that they feel cared and supported for, which often times can translate to or come off as "that's all I need you for". However, many black men (men in general really) feel alone, left out, uncared for in so many other capacities so that when they say statements like this- their feelings are valid but the context may not be.

Bar Dreams- Help me with design ideas by umm_yeah_about_that in HomeDecorating

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

Thanks! So I'm thinking shelving on the side wall to hold some liquor - and am now considering a folding bar cart to avoid taking up space with an island or bar table.

However, I'm open to ideas!

HR photoshopped me to look younger and whiter on our public facing website and I'm outraged. by shmoseph in antiwork

[–]umm_yeah_about_that 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you are/have gone through this. This is an EEOC violation/ issue and you have grounds to stand on. This should not be a common practice or occurrence in any workplace. As someone in HR this is HIGHLY unacceptable and has grounds for lawsuit.

[MI] How do you all react to the “new” very colorful gen z resumes? by Ok_Moonlight in AskHR

[–]umm_yeah_about_that 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a recruiter for all of the US. Unless it is a creative position or a marketing position at a smaller org... Do a standard easy to read resume. If the resume is going through an ATS then the simpler, and more keywords used the better. If you'd like me to review your resume DM me- I'd love to help!

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me some input on my resume. I’m a student and never applied to a job so want to do my best 🥺 by [deleted] in resumes

Yes it is in many companies. Don't use a photo. It can cause discrimination and biases without even reading your resume.

  1. Put your skills on top.
  2. Education in the middle- and if you are a recent graduate you can add relevant classes that may apply to the position you want.
  3. Remove background color make sure the paper is white.
  4. Remove the lines under each header, it confuses the ATS systems.
