The Kids just aren't being taught how to write a cv or cover letter huh

I've seen ones today including photos, dates of birth, place of birth even!

And also several formatted like they were writing a message to a friend! Full of exclamation marks! This is a formal document!

So as someone who's been applying to jobs internationally recently, this post kind of highlights how myopic rules about resume writing can be. In the US you shouldn't write out your address, a Swedish resume would NEVER get callback without an address, what are you trying to hide?*. A DOB isn't something you should put on a resume in Sweden, but I've seen American advice go as far as omitting years of education in order to actively conceal your age. Some Asian countries require a headshot, in Sweden it's not unheard of but also not common, and it's absolutely verboten in the US.

Furthermore, resumes are fucking hard as shit to write successfully (=making not just a human read it, but ensuring that they're interested). I ended up paying a company to edit mine, and once I used it, I started getting callback despite the versions I had used before being 95%+ similar, it really was the little details, the exact terminology and choice and placement of adjectives, that made the entire difference, and those can differ enormously between job markets in the same country.

"but onaa, you're beansouping, OP is in the US and presumably all the youths they interact with are too. "

Even if they are, advice is all over the internet from every possible country, and it's no more or less helpful than something provided by a very decent English teacher who, just by virtue of being 10+ years older and working in a different sector, have encountered a very different job market than the kids they teach.

Conclusion: the kids aren't stupid, nor are we bad at teaching resumes, reality is just really fragmented and impossible.

*addresses are basically public anyway, Americans would piss themselves with the info that's public in Sweden. Including everyone's salary.

remember when America wrote EVERYBODY'S address and phone number in a book and dropped free copies on everybody's doorstep once a year?

#do kids know about phone books these days?

Maybe one reason time seems to speed up in adult life is because when your full time job leaves you roughly 5 hours of free time a day plus two days off a week your life turns into a sort of monotony that makes the days blend together and creative pursuits move in slow motion as you can only get to them when other your commitments are done.

When you look back and think damn 2019 wasn’t that long ago where did the time go? Job. Your Job took it.

#oof #ouch #for most of this last year i don’t even sit down until 10pm #work > life obligations (caretaking) > wow it’s 10-10:30!! quick choose between losing sleep and timeskipping to start the work day over #who am i kidding this has been the last several years i’ve just been trying to be responsible and get into bed earlier this year #RIP #maybe therapy will fix me lol

i love you, rock that is tall enough to be a table while i’m submerged in the stream. save me from heatstroke, rock that is tall enough to be a table while i’m submerged in the stream.

(common soapwort over lunch today)

#this rock can save me from heatstroke but it can't save me from lung damage.................................#RIP

#my mediocre watercolors #my botanicals #common soapwort #seriously i can’t handle 89 in full sun without being in water #and! im making fish friends #starting to recognize the locals (at least the ones unique enough to differentiate)#and they’ve mostly given up trying to eat my leg hairs

approximation of a cloud i saw last week

#my clouds #my art #been really into clouds that are huge with clear boarders #but with sections of almost zero contrast with the sky #lately

two days spent contemplating bee balm….

#good morning

two days spent contemplating bee balm….

#my botanicals #my mediocre watercolors #also: two days sitting in the stream until a storm rolled in #bee balm #still not quite right but i don’t think i’m willing to pick another one #the bee balm population exploded this year though it’s all over the place and very pretty

left work early to go paint in the stream (too hot to be dry) and i was worried about how low the water had gotten this week in the heat wave when a storm hit!!

the water won’t stay this high for long but as long as it doesn’t go back to how it was when i got there i’ll be happy! this only took about 20 minutes of hard rain <3

#i DID stay out in the storm until it was over but i DIDNT sit in the stream the whole time #figured my poncho was pointless because i was already soaked #but forgot the value of a dry head and most importantly dry glasses #stayed out at least partially because i was blinded lol #but this was good #nice afternoon #and hopefully it’ll keep storming and folks won’t set off fireworks all night

played around with camera settings while watching a storm pass us by tonight and got some neat ones :)

#wish i could remember which shutter speed i was using for the one decent one #but i love clouds so any time their shapes are revealed i treasure the experience #so i'm excited to play again the next time we get a flasher...... also: a good excuse to be outside in a storm #photography .... maybe this is what fishing or hunting is like (a good excuse to be outside when people would usually hate being outside)#can't tell you how excited i was to realize the flashing on the horizon wasn't more fireworks #figured out a cheat for dogs in fireworks though:#play a video of fireworks nonstop #ours got tired of barking very quick #and eventually didn't react to real ones #which is good because tomorrow night will probably be worse

we taught clover to drink from the hose yesterday - here's two pictures i took of the first time my daughter drank from a hose

#i found my old camera and forgot what good pictures look like so i'm having fun #this isn't what good pictures look like for the record #i'm just warning that i might have some photos every now and again #because idk if or when i'll ever finish any artwork ever again #but i am alive #and spending a lot of time outside so that's good #i hope you all are doing well

HOLY SHIT GUYS, I WAS INSPIRED BY THIS POST TO TRY MAKE THE SONG AND YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT WHEN I DRAGGED THE TRAINING AUDIO OVER THE BACKING TRACK AND IT LINED UP PERFECTLY

Visit Original Link

Tempted to actually put this on spotify so I can secretly stream it at work...

Tagging @batshit-auspol because as an Australian you're the only big account I know who might share (sorry).

punkrorschach

happy first day of pride everyone

#it’s a miracle that i played audio from a tumblr post #and i’m SO glad i did #this brought me to tears it’s beautiful

Tell me an inside joke between you and a friend, without context.

I beg of everyone to read the tags to this post, as they are all random and hilarious and read kind of like a poem, if the poem was written by someone who was on a lot of drugs.

i will say about sangfielle and this has always and will continue to bug me (in a minor way.) is people calling each others characters friends and i KNOW why because it's the standard for a ttrpg party (usually) and the players are friends but these characters are truly the most coworkers ever. of all time possibly

bonus (you are correct about this):

#sangfielle #lovely #you gotta - you GOTTA socialize your plant #man #i don't think chine could ever hold down an office job though - maybe as a janitor or facilities guy #pickman and lyke struggling too but they could probably tough it out #poor duvall
