A couple job interview hacks from someone who has to give a job interview every single goddamn day: (disclaimer: this goes for my process and my company’s process, other companies and industries might be different)

1. There are a few things I check and a few questions I ask literally just to figure out if you can play the game and get along with others in a professional setting. Part of the job I interview for is talking to people, and we work in teams. So if you can’t “play the game” a tiny bit, it’s not going to work. Playing the game includes:

- Why do you want to work here? (just prove that you googled the company, tell me like 1 thing about us, I just want to know that you did SOME kind of preparation for this interview)

- Are you wearing professional clothing? I don’t need a suit just don’t show up in a ratty t-shirt and sweatpants.

- Are you able to speak respectfully and without dropping f-bombs all the time? Not because I’m offended but because I don’t want to be reported to HR if you wind up on my team.

- Can you follow simple directions in an interview?

2. Stop telling me protected information. I don’t want to know about what drugs or medications you’re on, I don’t want to know about you being sick, I don’t want to know if you’re planning to have children soon, I don’t want to know anything about your personal life other than “can you do the job?” 

3. When we ask, “What questions do you have for me?” here are my favorites I’ve heard: - What does the day-to-day look like for a member of your team?

- If one of your team members was not performing up to his usual standard, what steps would you take to correct that?

- What can I start doing now to accelerate my learning process in this job?

- What are some reservations you have about me as a candidate? (be ready for this emotionally….it will REALLY help you in the future, and I’ve had people save themselves from a No after this, but can be hard to hear)

- In your opinion, what skills and qualities does the ideal candidate for this job possess?

- What advice would you give to a new hire in this position/someone who wanted to break into this industry, as someone who has worked here for a while?

Those are just my tips off-the-cuff. I work in sales in marketing/SAAS, so these can be very different depending on the industry, but I wish the people I interview could read this before they show up. 

[brehaaorgana]

Yes STOP TELLING PEOPLE PROTECTED INFORMATION IN INTERVIEWS. do not volunteer anything including “I’m currently pregnant.”

Batman being aggressively secretive towards the Justice League is one of my favorite tropes, but it gets INFINITELY funnier when you take the younger generations of heroes into consideration.

Barry Allen? He doesn't know shit about Batman, still partially convinced he's not human, still a little bit scared to talk to him. But Wally West? That's Nightwing's best friend. He's been around Dick since both of them were kids. He's had sleepovers at the manor since he was thirteen.

I just think it would be hilarious if all of the younger generations 100% know that Batman is Bruce Wayne. They've slept at the manor, some of them have taken various Batkids to school dances, they've been offered Alfred's cooking. And all because they've gotten close to at least one Batkid and said Batkid wore Bruce down until he let them reveal their identity. But all of them manage to keep this information from their mentors. Either purposefully or completely on accident.

Then you end up with a situation where the younger generations grow up and join the League and the older members Very Quickly realize that they seem a lot more comfortable with Batman than they should be.

Sometimes, when the Flash walks into a room that Batman is already in, he gets the most bone-chilling glare he's ever received in his life. Like he's never been so sure of his imminent death, even though he knows Batman doesn't kill. Then one time, he watched Wally run full speed into Batman (who didn't even budge, by the way) and he nearly burst into tears, sure he was about to watch his nephew get eaten or something. But Batman just grips Wally by the shoulders to keep him from falling over and grunts. Wally grins sheepishly, gives a little "Sorry, B-Man", and runs off. Barry blinks, trying to comprehend what he just saw, and opens his mouth to ask, when Batman turns and stares into the depths of his soul. Next thing he knows, Barry's on the other end of the Watchtower, and he's not sure if he ran or if Batman can just do that.

Oliver is pretty sure the Bat has it out for him. He's not sure why, as far as he can remember he's never done anything, but it definitely feels a little personal when Batman points out the flaws in every plan Oliver contributes. The only reason he doesn't leap across the table and demand answers is because he likes living, thank you, and he's pretty sure Batman could literally bite his head off. But then, on a day where Roy happens to be at the Watchtower at the same time is Oliver, Oliver corners him for a meal. Batman is a table near them with Wonder Woman, and Oliver can make out pieces of a plan they're working on as he eats. Suddenly, Roy's chair screeches as he pushes it over to their table. Oliver doesn't even have time to shout a warning, barely has enough time to grab his bow (useless as it may be against whatever it is that Batman is) before Roy is offering a plan suggestion. But Batman doesn't devour Roy's head in a single bite, no he tilts his head consideringly and nods. Roy's back at the table in an instant all nonchalance and "put that down Olly, we're eating". Oliver thinks he needs to go to the medbay, because surely he has a concussion.

Superman has known Batman just as long as anybody. If asked, he'd say he trusts the man, mostly. He's under no illusions that Batman would say the same, but he's working on it. That doesn't mean he's not slightly intimidated by the man. Batman's anger is a force in and of itself, and it's not one that Clark is particularly fond of being subjected to. Which is why he's conflicted at the moment. Because his son (son? clone? they're still discussing the semantics) is the unfortunate recipient of Batman's patented glare at the moment. Kon has his arms crossed as he stands next to one of his teammates, Clark only recognizes this one as Red Robin because he's the only one Clark knows nothing about. The expression on Kon's face is familiarly defiant, and Clark is torn between interjecting and risking the Batman's wrath, or letting Kon be subjected to it. He's so distracted by his inner turmoil that he doesn't hear what Batman says next. He does however, hear Kon's response. "look, we got the job done, didn't we?" He's frozen in shock, in fear, which is why he's still behind Batman when Batman responds. "hrnn" and stalks away Clark blinks, sure his ears are faulty then blinks again when he notices Kon's smile. He elbows his teammate, says something about a bet, but Clark is too confused to follow. What just happened?

He's almost forgotten about that incident the next time one of his children is subject to the Bat. This time it's Jon, Jon who is too young and too eager to please to endure the anger of Batman. But Clark is still holding up the collapsing building as the first responders get the last few civilians out. He can't go to his son and defend him, all he can do is watch as Jon approaches Batman of his own volition. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to break it." And Clark's heart breaks, because it really hadn't even been Jon's fault. His son had deflected a car thrown at him, and the car had taken out the last remaining support for the building Clark is currently holding. There were no casualties, but there were injuries, and Clark can see the guilt his son feels from here. His sorrow is replaced with complete and utter shock as Jon throws himself forward, face pressed against Batman's chest and skinny arms wrapping around his back. He grows more shocked, if possible, when Batman gently places a hand on the back of Jon's head, cradling it against his chest. "everyone will recover, and you'll learn for next time. It's alright, Jon." When the building is evacuated and Clark is given the all clear to let it down, he makes his way over to his son. Batman doesn't even look at him as he gently detaches Jon from him and deposits him in Clark's arms. He turns to leave, and Clark barely has time to whisper a "thank you" before he's disappeared.

[walkingencyclopediaofweirdmayo]

This is so cute!

But also imagine, like Wally going for a fist bump, and everyone is like, "Batman is going to take that as Wally trying to punch him. He's going to kill him!" However, Batman doesn't do anything, doesn't even uncross his arms, but he does clench his hand into a fist so Wally can bump it.

Jon asking if he can go home with Batman so he can spend the night with Robin. Clark is horrified, but Batman just grunts and says if Superman says it's okay he can.

Batman handing something to Roy, and the League thinks he's going to lecture Roy about forgetting his stuff and leaving things sitting around. But Batman just says "Jason asked me to give this to you. You left it at his apartment." And WHO IS JASON?!

btw the thing she couldn’t ignore was someone calling her out for saying anti-depressants/hormone therapy are only perscribed by lazy doctors

Update:

J.K. Rowling is apparently now filing a defamation lawsuit against someone who made fun of her for saying this, which means its time to spread this like wildfire!

Sun x Moon incorrect quotes 2

Moon: Sun and I are no longer dating.  Sun: Moon, that’s a horrible way of telling people we’re married. 

Sun: Well, Moon and I finally did it!  The rest of the squad: *gasps, shocked expressions, etc.*  Sun: That's right... We kissed!

Moon: That was so hot, Sun.  Sun: I literally called the person who just flirted with you a degenterate dog and told them I hope they get dragged through the streets.  Moon: I'm so in love with you.

Moon: When you said 'Magic in Bed', I wasn't expecting this...  Sun: *pulls out card from deck* Now, was this your card?  Moon: Holy moly-

Moon: As top in this relationship, I think we should-  Sun: I can't believe you're pulling rank on me. 

Sun: Moon and i are no longer friends. Moon: SUN THAT’S THE WORST FUCKING WAY TO TELL PEOPLE WE’RE DATING  

Sun: We should get you to a doctor for a check up immediately. What if it happens again, and there isn’t anyone around to help you? What if it’s congenital? Oh my God! Was it me? Did I hurt you?  Moon: …You realize any other person that made their partner pass out on bed would simply feel really proud of themselves, right? 

Moon, sweating: Sun, there’s something I need to ask you-  Sun: Finally! You’re proposing!  Moon: How’d you know?  Sun: Moon, you’ve dropped the ring five times during dinner.  Sun: I even picked it up once. 

Sun: Look at me straight in the eyes and tell me the truth, Moon!  Moon: You can’t expect me to look into your eyes and be straight.



[pixelchills]

Honestly, what I love the most about RUIN and especially about Eclipse's appearance is that it kind of confirms the whole "what Sun and Moon are for each other".

Not only they clearly recognize each other as separate beings, Sun's desperate call to 'need to become whole' has just stuck in my head as something I will now use as a reference that Sun and Moon are canonically lovers-

(And yes, this goes with the theory of the virus making Moon hostile, and I just believe we haven't met the 'real Moon' in the games yet.)

As my friend said; why would you want to become 'whole' with your sibling?

Isn't that a literal reference of love - two hearts or souls to become one because they're meant to be.

I find that so beautiful.

*takes off my glitter-covered, heart-shaped glasses*

/Anyways, this is just something I've been thinking about half-jokingly, especially since I still seem to get some "they're brothers" comments on all of my social medias and I'm gonna be using this as a reference to shoo them away.

[acepalindrome]

I was playing Stardew tonight and got jumpscared by the wizard just walking his ass through town in broad daylight to go to the bookseller. For 8 years he’s been a hermit! Isolated from the townsfolk who fear and distrust him! At most, he might be hiding at the edges of a festival where no one could notice him! That was the extent of his outings to Pelican Town! But now the bookseller is in town and he doesn’t give a fuck, he’s going to march his ass out there with his silly little hat on in front of the whole town and Yoba to get his books.

petition to bring back saying "huzzah!" when something goes your way and "alas." when it doesn't

[spoopdeedoop]

in hindsight, pitching something that would be deemed a fair bit strange by some standards to a site teeming with already incredibly strange people was a mistake. apologies tumblr users i’d forgotten where i was

[what-even-is-thiss]

I respect neopronouns and even played a bit with them myself back in the day but I also think I need a pronunciation guide for some of them

[what-even-is-thiss]

You need to be prepared to answer the question “How do I pronounce that?” when you come up with your pronouns.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’m not trying to discourage you from coming up with weird pronouns. Be yourself. Confuse the cis and whatnot. But like. Know how your own pronouns are pronounced if you want them used irl. I’ve come across people with neopronouns who had only ever used them online who didn’t have an answer when asked how you pronounce that. Don’t let this be you. Have an answer ready.

[a-little-bit-oddish]

One of the things I resent most about being Animal Brain Apex Predator trapped in Maximum Productivity Society is that I have to work when the weather is gross, instead of following my natural instinct to burrow myself into something dry and soft and sleep until Optimal Foraging Conditions

[teaboot]

It is dark and cold and wet and miserable and I have a warm dark quiet hideaway full of food and drinking water that is safe from interlopers and for some ungodly reason instead of holing up there to conserve my energy, I am standing up in a brightly lit beige room for several hours. A possum wouldn't put up with this shit. I'm going to bite someone
