@shucklechels A mass rejection email is impersonal enough without everyone seeing it land on you too.
Not a great look for them, and not a reflection on you at all.
@BSatterwhite18 Two years is a genuinely long stretch to keep showing up for.
Most people would have quit trying by now. That persistence is going to be worth something to the right employer.
Psalm 90:12 asks God to teach us to number our days wisely. Try this today: write down your top 3 financial goals for the next 90 days with an actual date next to each one. A goal without a date is just a wish.
Old way: walk into a client call hoping the terms work out. Better way: write down beforehand the one number, a budget or a start date, that would make it a win for you. Going in with a target stops you agreeing to something you will regret.
The moment you submit an application, send the recruiter or hiring manager a short LinkedIn connection note naming the role you just applied for. A name attached to a CV gets remembered before any ATS ranks it. Takes two minutes, do it today.
@mariicrip Taking the piercings out for one day doesn't change who you are, it's just playing the room for a few hours. Hope it goes well, you can put them right back after.
@fairieavenue Wanting something this much is nerve wracking but it usually means you'll show up prepared, not just hopeful. Rooting for you on this one.
@SILENT1V0RY Plenty of people end up loving a job that wasn't their first choice once they're actually in it. Go in curious rather than committed either way, you'll read it clearer once you're there.
@thatoneslavguy That kind of job description is basically a warning label, at least you're going in with eyes open. Hope the money and the plot are worth it, you've got this.
@koyacrave Turning that observation into fuel instead of resentment is the actual skill most people miss, it's a much better use of the same information. If they can wing it into a high paying role, someone who's actually paying attention can do it on purpose.
@Jaythekeed Applying slightly above where you feel ready is usually the better read of your own skill, not an overreach, most people underestimate themselves more than they overreach. Worst case they say no and you're exactly where you started. Good tactic.
@kittysukuna Working a shift with a specific thing you're saving toward makes the hours go faster, the money actually has a job to do. Hope the computer shows up sooner than the savings plan says it will.
