i hope youre all lying and hyping your cv/resumeās up
i have never gotten an interview and not been offered a job position after it
I mean lets be honest if everyone else is gassing theirs up like no tomorrow and youāre being as honest as you can who th are the recruitment team going to be more interested in
Thereās people working in my banks head office with me WITH MUCH MORE EXPERIENCE than me BUT ARE GETTING PAID LESS
weāre doing the exact same job role
the point Iām trying to make here is if youāve handled finances for a company youāre now what i would call a treasurer my g, if youāve done admin work you are now a secretary (or as Iāve put Management secretary)
you help some kid with his homework? youāre a private tutor.
keep your bullets points for the job role as concise and important sounding as possible AND ALWAYS EMPHASIS THAT YOURE A TEAM PLAYER IF YOURE GOING TO WORK IN A TEAM.
go into that interview room and get your story straight the night before and remember that interviews are two way conversatons yes they might be grilling you but at the end of it make sure to grill them BACK. do you have any hesitations about my qualifications? my suitability for the job? any feedback on my cv? how long have you been working at this company? do you like it here? whats the work environment like?
I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS GET THE SAME FEEDBACK WHEN THEY GET BACK IN TOUCH WITH ME
āive never been asked those questions beforeā / āyou were one of the strongest candidatesā
throughout the interview emphasise that youre about progression, that you want more responsibilities than you did at your previous job, tell them the hours here are more suitable for me than my last ones were, AND WHEN IT COMES TO SALARY NEGOTIATION its all about continuity. tell them again that it boils down to progression. make up a reasonable figure for how much you were paid in your last role (do your research for how much the industry youre applying to or the role youre applying for pays, base it on that) tell them you expect more than you were previously paid. do not give them a figure. progression is your primary focus, tell them if youre progressing youre happy. leave it at that.
LIE THROUGH YOUR TEETH AND GET THAT MONEY
I had an interview yesterday, at the place Iāve been temping, where I busted out the āis there anything about my skills or background that makes you concerned about my fit for this jobā question for the first time.
Neither of my supervisors had never gotten it before either. They had to think for a while, and then it turned into them telling me how great I am and what they love about me.
This stuff is real. I would also say: none of it is lying. This is taking experience that you normally downplay and write off, and putting it in accurate words theyāll understand.
Itās hacking the capitalist system. Why ISNāT helping a kid with homework ātutoringā, when the only thing missing is a paycheck?
Itās especially important for anyone who isnāt a cis white man, because many of us are so thoroughly trained to feel like we are not good enough.
Privilege tells people they can fake it, and that theyāre good enough just as people and can learn the skills on the job. Abuse and oppression tell people they arenāt good enough as people and that even their high skills are probably below average, and that unless they had the specific job title or were using certain skills officially, nobody will think it counts.
The goal is to at least fake the confidence of a privileged person, to give the employer a chance at seeing the skills that youāve been trained to undervalue.
I would also say to answer any query ofĀ āHave you done [X small task] before?ā withĀ āI have, but itās been a while.ā Or,Ā āI have, but it was a slightly different program.ā
100% THEY WILL GLADLY WALK YOU THROUGH EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW, and I stressĀ āgladlyā because claiming prior knowledge boosts their confidence in your abilities and any slips you make are already covered by your caveat.Ā
blackstoic may have deactivated their account but this advice is fucking gold and all yāall looking for jobs or who think you might one day need to look for a new job PRINT THIS SHIT OUT AND STAPLE IT TO THE WALL.Ā
Body language is also a good thing to work on in interviews.Ā
Smiling and being polite are good, so is trying to be charismatic.Ā
Donāt swear, donāt comment onĀ ābadā things in youāre old job unless youāre doing aĀ āthere were issues with the system/computers but we adapted well and managed to make a good thing out of a bad situationā in order to enhance your skills and employability.
Donāt slouch in your seat, but also donāt sit ramrod straight. Aim for something more casual, but donāt go too casual.Ā
Try and keep your shoulders from raising up. Hunching up and sitting tensely mark you out as nervous and unable to hide it. Sometimes this can work badly for you if youāre looking for a customer service role.
If they ask if you have reliable transport, orĀ āhow will you make it to work?ā the answer you always give, even if it isnātĀ true, isĀ āpersonal transportā orĀ ācarā. Doesnāt matter if you carpool or get the bus or walk. If you say you have your own transport theyāre more likely to consider you for next step.
Another thing, sometimes they call you and youāre busy doing stuff and you have to stop and answer their questions. I had a call from a place Iād applied to, one of many, and none of them had called me back so, naturally, I forgot all about this other place. That meant that I had no recollection of anything they asked me about their company and such.Ā
Itās important to keep track of where youāve applied to, when youāve applied to them, and whether they state outright that theyāll contact potential applicantsĀ or no one at all.Ā

How I Use OneNote for University
Hey, all! I thought Iād share how I use OneNote, for any students who might want to use it for school organization. I have used this since the beginning of my university career and have found a method that works for me, after nearly three years.
I provide templates for what I use as .one files that can be imported into OneNote, and youāre free to use & modify them however you wish.Ā

Customized Syllabus Template: Download
Cornell Outline Template: DownloadĀ + Outline inspired byĀ How to Use Cornell Cornell Note-Taking Method on OneNote by @strive-for-da-bestā
As a student with learning disabilities, I found that using a computer, rather than writing everything out, is the best method for me to learn. I type up notes in class so as to not worry about keeping up with a professor, handwriting, or neatness. OneNote is my favourite note-taking application for this, because itās essentially an upgraded version of Word thatās free and syncs automatically across devices. When my computer crashed, I was still able to access my notes online.
OneNote isnāt all typing. You can use it on a tablet or use a drawing tablet, in my case, to handwrite notes for a more natural feel. A very efficient way of taking notes is to import the lectures slides in OneNote and to write directly on them. I found that very useful in math-heavy courses, such as statistics and chemistry. The equation tool, while nifty, isnāt efficient.
By no means whatsoever is this the only way to use OneNote! In fact, Iād recommend you find a way that works for you, because while this may be highly organized, it takes a bit of set-up time and is tailored specifically to my needs. You can use my example as inspiration, but play around with it! The beauty of OneNote is that it can be used in a variety of different ways.

I hope you wake up early enough in the morning to put on your favorite outfit and make your favorite breakfast. I hope you find your skin clear and hair healthy. I hope youāre content with the way your body looks. I hope you find happiness in small things today. I hope that, even with your ups and downs, you are content with yourself.
[1/100] Iāve just decided to start 100 days of productivity because why not. Today Iām fully into Norwegian yay
