What’s happening @Rogers ??
I made a wireless change on my father’s account to save him money being on a fixed income, and somehow he was double charged. Good thing at 91 years old he checks his bills. I called Rogers, got such a round around for their mistake….1/?
4/?
that he can’t correct the mistake and create a ticket for his boss to call me, it’s one or the other- WHAT???? Yet the first agent was telling me it’s an AI mistake. How about fixing the current issues with the system before introducing a new technology….
A private investigator who spent 25 years working infidelity cases shared the five lies he heard in almost every investigation.
He said he caught over 900 cheaters consistently telling these lies.
Here are the 5 lies unfaithful partners always tell....
If a Hiring Manager asks you to introduce yourself in an interview, the best way to introduce about yourself is quite simple! Just structure your answer around your past, present & future.
Here’s how you can answer "Tell me about yourself" based on your experience level:
1) For candidates WITH EXPERIENCE
- INTRODUCTION
"First of all, thank you for inviting me to this interview today. My name is [Name], and I’d describe myself as an ambitious and self-motivated individual with experience in the [Industry/Sector]"
- PAST
"I started my career as an intern at [XYZ Company], where I was responsible for [Task 1] and assisted with [Task 2] weekly. One of my biggest accomplishments in that role was [Achievement], which I managed to do within [Timespan] by implementing [Strategy]. This led to [Positive Result]"
- PRESENT
"Currently, I’m working as a [Your Role] at [Current Company/University]. I have a strong interest in [Relevant Skills/Industry], which has allowed me to develop [Key Strengths or Projects]"
- FUTURE
"I thrive in a collaborative environment and enjoy working with dynamic teams to achieve specific goals. That’s why I’m excited about this opportunity—to contribute my skills and experience to help [Company Name] with [Job Responsibilities]"
2) For candidates WITH NO EXPERIENCE
- PAST
"I grew up in [City], where I attended [High School]. During that time, I developed an interest in [Relevant Skill/Field] and actively contributed to [School Project/Website/Community Work]"
- PRESENT
"My passion for [Industry/Skill] led me to pursue my degree in [Field of Study] at [University Name]. Currently, I’m in my [Year] and have been working on projects related to [Relevant Skill]. In my free time, I enjoy [Skill 1] and [Skill 2], which have helped me refine my expertise in [Industry]"
- FUTURE
"Although I may not have formal work experience yet, I’m eager to dive deeper into [Industry/Skill] and apply my knowledge in a real-world setting. That’s why I’m excited about this opportunity at [Company Name]"

The candidate stopped mid-interview. "Can I ask you something?"
HR nodded.
"This is my 7th interview this month," she said.
"And you're the 7th person to ask about my biggest weakness."
HR shifted in his chair.
"I've prepared for everything.
Technical assessments.
Behavioral questions.
Case studies.
Culture fit."
She opened her notebook.
Pages of research.
Company values highlighted.
Recent news articles printed out.
"But you haven't asked me a single question about how I'd actually do this job."
Silence.
"Where do I see myself in five years?" she continued.
"I see myself solving the problems you're hiring me to solve.
But we haven't talked about those problems yet."
HR replied.
"These are standard questions to assess..."
"To assess what?" she gently interrupted.
"Whether I can recite the same answers everyone else memorized from career blogs?"
She wasn't angry. Just tired.
"You have a 30% turnover problem in customer success"
"Three competitors just poached your best people."
HR's eyes widened.
"I know because I researched.
I prepared."
She closed her notebook.
"I need this job. I really do.
My savings run out next month.
But I need you to need someone who can solve problems.
Not someone who performs well in interviews."
Long pause.
"So, what would you like to know about how I'd fix your retention crisis?"
HR pushed aside his question sheet.
"Tell me everything."
They talked for one hour.
Real problems. Real solutions.
No script.
Go the offer.
She started three weeks later.
Within six months:
Turnover down to 8%.
Two competitors tried to poach her.
She stayed.
Because they finally asked the right questions.
And she'd been waiting 7 interviews
to give the right answers.
Cookie-cutter questions get cookie-cutter candidates.
The exceptional ones?
They're interviewing you right back.
And if you're not ready for that conversation,
you're not ready for exceptional talent.
You’re applying to your dream job.
You open with: “I am writing to apply for…”
The hiring manager stops reading.
Your cover letter died in sentence one
A Gen Z joined the team.
Week one.
During onboarding, the manager said,
“We sometimes stay late during peak periods.”
Gen Z nodded.
Then asked,
“Is that paid… or just expected?”
The room went quiet.
- No attitude.
- No rebellion.
- Just a question.
Later that day, HR mentioned “growth opportunities.”
Gen Z replied,
“Does growth include raises, or just more responsibility?”
Again, silence.
- No laziness.
- No entitlement.
- Just clarity.
That’s when the team realized something.
When people say
“Gen Z is lazy,”
what they really mean is:
Gen Z watched old generation
- skip meals,
- miss birthdays,
- work weekends,
- and burn out
only to be told
“budgets are tight”
and “be grateful you have a job.”
So Gen Z chose differently.
- They don’t romanticize overwork.
- They don’t confuse suffering with ambition.
- They don’t trade health for praise.
They still work hard.
They just refuse to work for nothing.
It’s not laziness.
It’s pattern recognition.
And honestly,
after everything old generation went through…
Can you really blame them?

@dom_lucre This question is not meant in a bad way, maybe there is specific circumstance that I don’t understand: why is someone with financial struggles taking an Uber? To what I’m guessing is a minimum wage job at Tim Hortons.
@_pilotkyle_ @MrJoKeR604 Your first sentence states Trudeau has nothing to do with interest rates but your second sentence states he is responsible for high rates … so which one is it?!!!?
