Yeah I really don't want to put a public profile out there either.

yeah that's part of it too. i try to keep my work and personal lives very separate and ever since i had even heard of the concept it was very off-putting

add former coworkers, put your resume in your profile, and never ever look at the home feed

i guess i can try this. not today though i've done enough job search related poo poo and it's driving me nuts lol

I'm definitely sympathetic to the not wanting a public profile aspect, I'm not thrilled with that either. the flip side is that anecdotally this is also true for me:

i'd do this but the feed serves as a good reminder to disconnect from shitheads from time to time so i leave it there

not saying it'll be that easy for you but that's where almost everyone is

This was true for me too. Recruiters constantly bug me on LinkedIn, and it's how I've found every job I've had in the last 15 years.

i've never had an interview go more than 10 over. but 20-30 minutes to regroup for another interview seems fine. hell you might even perform better.

my brain is blasted and leaking out of my ears and i think i'll pass on both of these even if they want to progress to the next stage as the compensation is too low for what they want done that wasn't listed in the job description

for the record, one ran 57 minutes and the other 41. both were slotted for 30

just had an early morning interview with a hiring manager who didn't understand how timezones worked

at the end, they mentioned that the role's maximum pay was roughly 30% lower than my minimum. good luck with that and thanks for wasting my time!

fun fact

in nz we say rear end as "ars", some people still people still say the olde english "arse" and spell it so but most of our culture has moved onto rear end

anyway, you can't say "bad rear end" in a kiwi accent. it absolutely murders the effect

“appreciates a good life-work balance”



at my old pharmacy I used to have a beer between 5 and 5:30. I doubt the boss would have liked it at all, if says in my contract drugs are alcohol aren’t to be consumed on premises without his permission

but at my new pharmacy “they” follow the rules. and by them I other people. I was the manager at the old place and so I could “set my own rules” - aka break the real rules. pharmacies are boring 😩 what kind of idiot takes drugs as a late teen early 20 and the takeaway is “I wanna help old people with the most boring drugs on the planet, so I’ll become a phamacist”.

I don’t like rules, so what the hell was I thinking getting a job that is wall to wall rules

like we have SOPs (standard operating practices) which are living documents that state how everything we do in the pharmacy we should do (maybe that’s common in other fields idk). there is an SOP for going to the toilet. if i’m the only pharmacist I have to let someone know. you’re also not allowed to eat food in the toilet - sorry but WTF
