The SHADE. #justicefornormani

If there’s anything I can finesse, it’s a resume, interview and pay rate. 

[black--beetle]

Please help? I need these skills?

[kimreesesdaughter]

Come my child…

LIE. LIE. LIE. (By lie, I mean embellish) I’m going to tell you why. I lied on my resume to get the job that made it so I didn’t have to embellish anymore. By embellish I mean make your positions seem more important than they are. Chances are you’re not getting paid enough for what you do anyhow. The system is definitely going to play you so you gotta make a move too. 

Use businesses that are no longer in business (Finesse #1) Everyone has those establishments in their cities that went out of business; Fridays, hospitals, dennys, etc. USE THEM. I’m a HR Manager, I’m not going to dig for a reference from a closed business. Not in this lifetime.

Use your friends who are employed in corporate America as references. (Finesse #2) List them as former supervisors or managers. Pick your friends with professional phone voices who can gas you up in a corporate manner.

Research the pay rate for the company, city and position. (Finesse #3) They may be offering you 25K to be a store manager when in reality store managers in your exact city (or their employment averages) are making 35K. Do not be afraid to challenge a salary. It shows that you also did your homework on the position and the company. 

Chaotic good.

She’s actually a genius! She should write a life book I would buy! Always the plug!

[breakxxallxxrules]

@kimreesesdaughter oh snap I’m going to tweak up my resume 😂👌🏾 do you recommend that I use a PDF form for a resume?

[kimreesesdaughter]

Yes! Definitely use a PDF. I say this because, just in case you overlook any typos or errors, they won’t be as obvious. When recruiters open resumes in Word, here come all them damn squiggly red lines 🙄

[sugarmacaron]

what about background checks? thats gonna show us all for who we really are

[kimreesesdaughter]

Y'all are honestly overthinking this. You either take the tried and proven advice or you don’t and continue to make minimum wage at a job that should be paying you $16/hr.

Adulting is a finesse. If you don’t learn how to make things work for your advantage, you will not survive in this world or live the way you want to.

& one more time, BACKGROUND CHECKS ARE FOR CRIMINAL HISTORY! The only thing I would tell you to never lie about. You can go to any staffing agency and they would tell you to hype up your resume.

Now how would YOU finesse an interview

[kimreesesdaughter]

I posted a video on it!

Key point: Practice!! How do you practice for an interview? Glassdoor.com (USE THIS). Look at common interview questions for the position/field you’re trying to get into. Practice answering questions using the S.T.A.R method.

Situation (explain the issue)

Task (describe YOUR responsibility with the issue)

Action (what did YOU do?)

Resolution (what was the end result?)

Research competency and behavioral based interviews and questions. Prepare examples from your previous jobs!

I hope that helps ☺️

[magicmoon65]

I think I’d feel uncomfortable straight up lying about previous jobs

[kimreesesdaughter]

I’m uncomfortable making minimum wage.

Hello peeps!

YouTube is changing their rules for their partnership program. Yes, this means that my videos won’t be monetized... this also means that I’ll be booted from the program if I don’t get to 1000 subs in 30 days. Since joining the partnership program, I’ve noticed that way more people see my content. Obviously, it’s not like I’m balling out here on a YouTube check. I really want people to see the stuff I put out. If you can watch some of my vids & subscribe that’d be dope. Thanks so much! If you aren’t into please share this post 💁🏾‍♀️

Here’s a video (or two) to get you started :)

My Hair Story: Getting My First Weave

(Click Pics and Gifs to Enlarge) 

We all have had those childhood hairstyles we remember. Grab any yearbook, and you will see a myriad of awkward bowl cuts, uneven pig tails and a mohawk or two.  Generally speaking, at one point or another comes the moment when a black girl gets her first weave. This Life Changing  experience can occur as early as middle school and as often as every a couple of weeks. Regardless, everyone has their own hair stories. Here’s one of mine.

Note: Obviously,  a it’s an over-exaggerated version,  where I imagine that I am Beyonce since I am, but nonetheless…

Me: *Makes a post about Black Women with the intention to remind them that they matter despite feeling erased*

Some Cornball: *ignores that irrefutable fact that the deaths of Black Women at the hands of the police are erased constantly* I LOVE ALL OUR PEOPLE COME TOGETHER UNITY!! ALL OUR PEOPLE YES.
