Frog Act posted:well, at worst thats good experience, knowing to expect and generate some answers for that kind of abstract culture fit garbage they didnt ask me about any of that, they asked me about all kinds of dumb personality bullshit that im really bad at making up an answer for, the actual situability for the job would be the next interview there were a couple where i straight up went "this is a bad question, i can't answer that, you're asking me to talk about what id bring to your culture before i know anything about what the actual culture is here, and i dont think there's an honest answer besides "idk man i'll know when i get here""

i didnt phrase it that hostilely but the gist of "i dont think i can really give you an answer in advance, i dont know what its like or what my unique role would be" was there that was either the best answer because i didnt blow smoke or the worst answer BENGHAZI 2 has issued a correction as of 16:58 on Aug 7, 2019 |

so they have a gently caress you impossible abstractions interview before the one about actual relevant job performance capacities?  regarding the smoke blowing I was talking to my hiring manager and she said they strongly prefer and authentic imperfect answer to a perfect obviously concocted one, and I thin thats pretty common

good news i just got done with a phone interview and they said they'd like to bring me in for a face to face but it sounded like if the hiring manager and their director were available tomorrow i could come in which i hope isnt the case because i need to brush up on some technical stuff first and i wont have time today

Something all those job courses taught me is that the best way to answer a weakness question is to give a LEGIT weakness and then modify it with a "BUT." In other words, admit if there's an issue, but then give a really proactive example of something you've done in the past to work on that issue actively. Dunno how effective that is but it certainly helps for a compulsively honest person like myself because I can at least feel MARGINALLY less BSy in an interview. In other news, I'm enrolling in MNCare today because my insurance with the university lapses at the end of this month, and oh god I hate forms. My splinter skills do not do forms. Thankfully, the local Planned Parenthood can help me out. I'm just glad that MNCare looks weirdly robust so I can get my drat meds.

I usually follow it up with what I do to curb those habits. Not sure if that's any good, but that's the fun part of interview questions WHO KNOOOWWWSS

I've been toying with the idea of going back to school and getting a masters, but keep coming back to the conclusion that it would put me in debt for the rest of my life. As a sole income I'd have to take rent on a loan and still work part time for everything else. ...But I can't even pay off current, modest loan until I'm 50 years old, so what the gently caress does it matter. Not that I would go get a masters for the sake of, but gently caress, I dunno.

I'm realizing one of the odd parts of emotional abuse is my PTSD triggers are the most random things in the world, because you never knew what would turn into a traumatic event. Like donating blood, or shopping for clothes, or getting a haircut, or riding a bicycle. Realizing just now why I really hate doing those things.

got any sevens posted:maybe bernie will cancel student debts I talked to a friend of mine who is in a similar financial situation - in the sense that they had to take out loans to pay for EVERYTHING, limited aid, racked up basically a lifetime of debt - and asked them if it was worth it. They said that either the bubble was going to burst and we'd get our debt mostly or all cancelled, or society would collapse and we'd have bigger things to worry about. And then posted a gif of Thelma and Louise going off a cliff, which I absolutely respect. They also passed on a lot of good advice on picking grad schools, which was very nice. To keep winging on about it here (so you can skip if you'd like), I did everything "right" when I was in school, for the most part. Went to community college then a 4 year public and local university, got Pell grants and financial aid (mostly because my parents refused to co-sign any loan). I had a stumbling semester where I got all Es because of wicked depression, but I also had a free place to live that got me out of an abusive home. Even with all of the outside help for housing, the financial aid, working two part time jobs, I STILL left school with $35,000 in debt that I can only make minimum payments on. So what does it really matter? The worst that would happen is that I spend a few years deep diving into something I love, and then go back to doing what I do now, but in a place I want to be, still making minimum payments on a loan. Literally my biggest concern after that is healthcare because this brain is loving brooooken.

i found out my wife isnt getting any student loans for her last semester, so we get to pay around $800/month for the rest of the year, so that's fun. on the bright side, her bachelor's degree will get her a fat raise of $0.00, so that's cool lol

so i had an interview yesterday and it was the longest interview ive ever done in my life because it was a fuckin practical test for an electronics technician job. i was super nervous the whole time and was hyper conscious of every mistake i made from my hands shaking or forgetting something by accident. anyway it still feels like a terrible experience even though the hiring manager told me to my face that he wanted to hire me and would try to make my pay higher than what was written in the job listing. im still chompin on antacids

yesterday was one of the worst days I've had in a while. I don't understand why I can chat all day with friends about completely inane stuff but never, ever manage to articulate stuff when it's actually important or when I need help.

There are several women. Lastgirl, Pick, and Zyla, to name a few, are openly women and talk about things from women's perspectives. Also check out the LGBTQIA+ thread in YOSPOS for lots of  , both cis and trans.But yes I am sure there are also lots of idiots who listen to whatever that is on this dead forum for idiots.

I don't know if you mean CSPAM specifically or SA in general, but please consider there exist happy subforums on this dying website. For example, byob is a place you can hang out and chill with your postin pals. Another reason to go to byob is if you want to relax and have a good time posting. All these subforums are yours, save D&D attempt no posting there.

This site is a weird hodgepodge of different cultures and depending on which one you post in they're either chill as gently caress or dumbasses. I'm a lady too btw for what it's worth, though I'm cis so... maybe only kinda useful?
