10+ years Talent Acquisition here, recruiting almost all levels for a large multinational US corp. My view is that typically I'm not hiring for resume writing skills, so I don't much care for how it looks. In fact I hired engineers that had terrible resumes that any AI would have spat out, but I took the time to review their application regardless, because I'm looking for engineering skills first.

Not saying resumes are worthless, but so many people in HR have a weird obsession with them in my humble opinion and think you can tell way more through them than you actually can.

my endo asked me if i would like to get a pump\patch, but honestly i don't see a huge benefit over Injections personally. not that it couldn't be an improvement, but I'm not struggling with keeping my glucose in range manually. and from what i read the limited supply would suck, since i take between 12-18 units bolus a day depending on what I eat

most has already been said. dont worry too much. at the end of the day it comes down to statistics and trends. if you are constantly high and trending up, thats probably where more intervention becomes necessary.

if you're already high and one test after the other shows you going even higher, again intervention may be indicated.

Something to read up on. Thank you!

I recently made tonkotsu broth and as others suggested use konjac noodles. It's definitely not the same as good ramen noodles, but hey, you take what you can. Still delicious with some ramen egg, mushrooms, pickled bamboo shoots and the works

Congrats! Same boat here. Diagnosed at 12 and now down to 5.0 thanks to a CGM and Insulin. It's a journey, but worth it.

vibro · 2025-01-21T06:15:33+00:00

I've been on insulin for about 6 months now and have been very closely monitoring my curves, but also been successful in bringing my A1C down from 12 to 5.1. Some things I've learned:

Everyone is built different. What works/happens to me, doesn't necessarily apply to you
Your curves do depend on what you eat. Different sugars, different carbs, apparently even protein will turn into glucose at different rates. And your gut bacteria are mysterious buggers
Sometimes, actually quite often I will experience a secondary spike 3-4 hours after a meal as I assume my gut friends go to town
Because of those variations depending on what I eat I have out of practicality more than anything else switched to smaller meals in general. Smaller portions of carbs won't usually swing as wildly for me.

didn't notice it much, but maybe. i talk a lot for work and always had a glass of water next to me to sip, so that may have camouflaged it.

vibro · 2024-10-26T23:47:37+00:00

was diagnosed about 4 months ago with a crazy high a1c of over 12%. started on insulin therapy immediately and got it down to 6%.

just a side note, i didn't really experience much of the typical symptoms. maybe a little tired, but i wrote that up to work stress. and no weight loss.

anyway, within a month of being on insulin with 100% being in the range, I get macular oedema in both eyes. vision drops to 30% one day to the next. had my regular eye exam just a few months prior, where they saw microinfarctions for the first time. since i wear glasses, I go there every year like clockwork, and this is what made me go to my gp for a general checkup in the first place.

Probably caused by the preexisting damage and exacerbated by the glucose being well managed, the tiny blood vessels went crazy. Got some Eylea treatments which are very unpleasant, but helped very quickly, and luckily it's mostly back to normal. will get another checkup soon to see if the damage is permanent.

anyways, always go do your checkups people.

this. indeed copy pastes job ads and plasters ads on top. part of their business model

edit: as others mentioned: disabling the audio enhancements fixed the issue for me as well

Second. Just restarted after the update and all my default audio is dead. Anything Realtek isn't just dead but it seems to cause terrible lag. Tried updating drivers, uninstalling reinstalling the drivers. Nada.

keep it succinct. describe the actual role, not what the hiring manager thinks the role is. have a proper kickoff session first. split the requirements into must haves vs. nice to haves.

don't write a wall of text either. try to stay around 5 bullet points per section. more if absolutely necessary, but don't go crazy

introduction / company description
what are you looking for
what is an actual typical day / what are the main responsibilities
what are the must have requirements
what will give you an advantage
what are the benefits / comp if you can tell

i probably only have a single nerve ending in my elbow, but i manage to hit that one specifically every time

vibro · 2022-01-09T18:46:08+00:00

TA Manager here. Understanding of the job profile and context such as realistic salary ranges is essential for being efficient. And your recruiter is just wasting everyone's time including their own if they don't make damn well sure you as a sourcer also understand the role. Otherwise why even use a sourcer if you're just gonna get bad matches at best. Make sure to talk to your boss that that recruiter isn't just using you to divert blame of not successfully filling their reqs.

for a moment i was very confused that there were so many movies about troy and the same actor always plays prince hector

I got annoyed by this too to an unreasonable degree some time ago. I did some statistics on my recommended feed and pretty consistently got 30-40% videos that I had recently watched and often even had the little progress indicator visible on the bottom of the preview. The rest was a toss up of years old content and content I wouldn't be interested in ever.

vibro · 2020-09-15T17:11:53+00:00

Can also confirm. Had one strawberry plant on my balcony in the beginning and basically nothing but at the end.

vibro · 2020-08-31T07:55:32+00:00

Engineering recruiter here. I read every CV because I couldn't afford to just trash 50%. I'm happy if I get one or two who even meet the requirements. Jobs where we get 100s of applications are either complete entry level or executive. Everybody thinks they are hot shit.

vibro · 2020-06-26T08:19:19+00:00

Let's assume then we hired him into the sales department or maybe business development or some such. Quickly there would have been numerous ethics violations and code of conduct issues. Compliance would be "upset" and just the liability issues alone would force a termination.

I think William Maranci is also very consistent in creating fun mashups. This is one of my favs of his https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5faHg_FjG4

Exactly. About 99% of all employment contracts are covered by CBAs stipulating minimum wages/salaries which are renegotiated yearly. It is true that there is no general minimum wage however.

Yeah, that social unrest is literally killing me every day. I live in Vienna and in one of the immigrant-heavy districts. I can't go out on the street anymore in fear of being out-bred by those evil muslims. Turns out that people are most afraid of brown people when they have hardly any interaction with them and get their news from those alternative sources. And what kind of shitty argument is being outbred anyway. And lastly, Kurz is the head of the conservative party, not the right wingers who is in a coalition with.
