How To Get A Job Fast As Hell

 @owenabbott​ 

Apply to a  job, wait (1) day, then call.  Give them your first and last name. Tell them you submitted an application and that you’re very motivated to find [Enter field name] work. Let the conversation lead you wherever it takes. Be very polite. Say” thank you for your time, I’ll be looking forward to hearing back from you.” Rinse, repeat. This is to force them to be looking out for your application. 

 When you get to the interview, shake their hand firmly,  tell them your first and last name.  

Describe your experiences  as “ two years transcription and data entry” if you have a desk job interview and “ [however many years]  costumer service, retail and stock” for your retail jobs.  

Don’t use job “ buzz words” I stg they hear them all day. Say  things like, “ I’m detail oriented and am very good at taking instruction.”  “ I would like to work for a company with integrity and I feel that [ company name] would be a good fit”

When they ask you if you have “reliable transportation” say  YES. don’t tell them what kind of transportation, just say yes. (if you don’t do this, you wont get the job , I’m telling you right now). 

Research the company. Know what they do, why they do it, how OLD the company is. WHERE it was founded, and what kind of position you’re intending to apply for.

When they ask you “ give us a situation where you had to blah blah blah” Make one the fuck up. Make yourself sound good as hell, and like you put your company’s needs slightly above the customer’s needs, but make the customer happy. 

If they ask you about being outgoing, Say you “like to focus on your work so you can concentrate on doing things right” (which buys you out of having to act friendly all the time)

Questions for after the interview:

1.  Does this position offer upward mobility?

2. Do you enjoy working for the company? (if you’re not interviewing for a temp agency who will send you anywhere)

 Then, shake their hand,  Ask them to repeat their name (REMEMBER THIS) say thank you for your time, wish them a nice day and leave. write their name down outside if you have to, just remember the fuck out of it. 

AFTER your interview, send a card directed to the name of the person who interviewed you (I’ll give you them) that says “Thank you for the interview, I appreciate the opportunity. have a great day” This shows  that you have an understanding of professionalism, and will have them thinking of you kindly (or at least remembering you) when they’re shuffling through the choices. 

DO NOT tell them you just moved to the city over the phone.  In person, tell them you just moved to the city. Make it sound like the only reason you need a job is because you moved. Not because you’re desperate.

White people can’t handle the truth about their inherent inferiority to black people so they always try to downplay our abilities and qualities.

I like seeing important facts like this. I’ve only seen something like this once or twice over the years in white-owned media.

And such information gives me strength and helps me to become more proud of my blackness despite some things that people like to talk about us.

I ain’t perfect but I’m perfectly me in this moment. I live, I love, I laugh and I grow without any hate towards myself or my past experiences. I’m not exactly where I want to be, but I’m where I need to be with who I want and need to be with. My blessings are on the horizon and my handsomeness is free to take in. 👑❤️🖤💚

Siri can't help you get through this.

She does not have the tools. We need Shanti or something...where she at?

Josh says that it's anything that white people own/claimed as theirs, Michael says it's anywhere where the values and beliefs serve whiteness and Dani says that it's everywhere white people are...

This week we're venting about navigating in white spaces and why it's important to have spaces that cater to people of color. It's taxing dealing with the emotional gymnastics that it takes to exist within them, and this is on top of average work and personal stressors. Fact is, if we learn to mind our business and let everyone shine we'd be good.

No matter what happens in life, meditate on the positive. Thinking about not wanting things that are negative still attracts those things. Focus on what you want and aligning yourself to be ready to receive it.

What colour are Indian gods and goddesses?

In a country obsessed with fairness, a new campaign portrays Hindu deities with dark skin. 21 January 2018

In India where light skin is coveted, a new campaign is re-imagining popular Hindu gods and goddesses with a darker skin, writes the BBC’s Geeta Pandey in Delhi.

Filmmaker Bharadwaj Sundar, who is based in the southern city of Chennai, teamed up with photographer Naresh Nil and the two have come up with “Dark is Divine” - a project that portrays gods and goddesses with a darker skin colour.

“All the images of the popular gods and goddesses that we see around us, photographs in our home shrines or prayer halls, online, on calendars, stickers and posters in shops and pasted behind auto-rickshaws, all show them to be light-skinned.”

In a culture obsessed with fairness, Mr Sundar points out that even Krishna, who is described as a dark-skinned god in the scriptures, is often shown as fair. And so is the elephant-headed Ganesha, even though there are no white elephants in India.

“Everyone here prefers fair skin. But I am a dark-skinned person and all my friends are dark-skinned too. So how do I identify with fair-skinned gods and goddesses?”

I think this is a wonderful project. 

Personally, unless the art is deliberately copying the color norms of ancient pottery or frescoes, I’m tired of seeing Greco-Roman divinities, especially goddesses, depicted as being uniformly pasty white. 

Give me golden-hued sky deities, agricultural divinities the colors of grain and soil, woodland gods and goddesses with the tones of bark and wood, war gods with skin burned deeply from living in the field, goddesses of love and beauty with the gorgeous ranges of skin and hair colors and physical characteristics of the many lands who worshiped them! 

Get creative! Use those palettes to depict the Dei and the Theoi in all the beautiful colors they used to create us!
