“Fiction doesn’t affect reality, things like Jaws only work if people already had that perception,”

Well it’s a good thing nobody’s trying to normalize pedophilia in the mainstream right? Oh, wait…

[doctorbluesmanreturns]

EXACTLY

Writing about horrible things is fine, what I take issue with is when people are trying to NORMALIZE and ROMANTICIZE them.

Here's a tip

Carry a fork with you. If someone tries to rob you, pull the fork out of your pocket and say “thank you, Lord for this meal I’m about to have” and charge at them with the fork

You can buy insulin without prescription at most Walmart’s for 25$ a vial

[apenitentialprayer]

The human insulin Walmart sells is less effective than the analog insulin prescribed by doctors to type 1 diabetics. It takes about three times as long to start working once injected, and can last over twice as long in the bloodstream after injection. Which means I’d be prone to have high blood sugar immediately after eating, and risk dropping below safe levels in the 3-7 hours afterwards. So, yes, Walmart sells $25 insulin. And it’s obviously a better alternative to death. But it’s also less efficient, more dangerous, and requires a level of planning meals that’s… well, doable, of course, but will make daily life more rigid than necessary. And this is before we take into consideration that the less effective insulin will require users to spend more on testing materials to make sure that they’re not accidentally harming themselves.

It’s weird seeing this on my dash since I’m not OP so I cant see all the reblogs of people spreading this.

[exmellivorinae]

OH MY GOD whyyyy did no one tell me you’re supposed to send thank-yous after interviews?? Why would I do that???

“Thank you for this incredibly stressful 30 minutes that I have had to re-structure my entire day around and which will give me anxiety poos for the next 24 hours.”

I HATE ETIQUETTE IT’S THE MOST IMPOSSIBLE THING FOR ME TO LEARN WITHOUT SOMEONE DIRECTLY TELLING ME THIS SHIT

[a-windsor]

NO ONE TOLD YOU???? WTF! I HAVE FAILED YOU. Also: Dear ______: Thank you so much for the opportunity to sit down with you (&________) to discuss the [insert job position]. I am grateful to be considered for the position. I think I will be a great fit at [company name], especially given my experience in __________. [insert possible reference to something you talked about, something that excited you.] I look forward to hearing from you [and if you are feeling super confident: and working together in the future]. Sincerely, @mellivorinae

YOU ARE WELCOME

My brother got a really great paid internship one summer. The guy who hired him said the deciding factor was the professional thank you letter my brother sent after the interview.

[suaimhneas-peace-deactivated202]

should it be an email? or like a physical letter?

[daminwayne]

email, you want to send it within a few hours at max after the interview if you can so it’s fresh in their mind who you are. 

[khirsahle]

Confirmed! I interviewed for a job right after arriving in NY. The interview went incredibly well, and I went home and immediately wrote a thank you letter and put it in the mail. I had a super good feeling about this interview.

I didn’t get the job.

However, a few weeks later, I was called in to interview with another editor in the same company, and I did get that job. I found out later from the initial editor (the one who didn’t hire me) that he had planned to offer me the job, but since I didn’t follow up with a thank you letter, he assumed I didn’t really want it. He offered the job to another contender–but when he got my letter in the mail shortly after the offer had already been made, he went to HR and gave me a glowing recommendation. It was based on that recommendation that I got called in for the second interview.

So: send an email thank you immediately (same day!) after the interview. If you’re feeling extra, go ahead and send a written one too. OR go immediately to a coffee shop, write the letter, and return to the office and give it to the secretary.

Either way, those letters are important.

[neurofancier-deactivated]

Pro tip: If you really want HR to develop a personal interest in your application, publicly thank them on linkedin. Just make a short post telling your network about how X recruiter really went above and beyond to make you feel welcome, or about how be accommodating and professional they were, or whatever. Make sure to use the mention feature so they’ll get a notification and see it. 

Flattery will get you everywhere… and public flattery that might make its way back to their manager, doubly so.

[oaky-dokey]

Obligatory plug for one of FreePrintable.net’s sites: ThankYouLetter.ws. They have a whole section with interview thank you letter templates, and a page with specific tips for interview thank you letters. (There are also tons of other letter templates if you browse around a bit.)

[cricketcat9]

As a former professional recruiter and recruiting manager, I confirm, especially for entry-level positions, where you are competing with oodles of people. This little thing can make a difference. Also the fact that, maybe, you took time to google the “interview etiquette”.

[boogiewoogiebuglegal]

SIGNAL BOOST

[ironswordandstarshield]

The post-interview thank you notes can be a good way to recover in case you got asked a question whose answer you either didn’t know or felt was super weak. So if you follow the above given template, jump in with something like “upon further thought to your question, here’s my revised answer.” 

But yeah always send a thank you note after an interview. It’s a small thing but it makes a hell of a difference. And def send thank you messages to any recruiters who may have helped. And also after you get the job. Small things like that really go a long long way.

[toothmuncher3000]

Holy shit I had no idea

[skzpride]

this is just a random side note about binders since that seems to be todays topic; pls dont wear your binder on an airplane!!! since your ribcage expands when you go up in altitude to compensate for the thinner air, your binder that may fit well normally might start to get too tight and you might not be able to breathe. do NOT i repeat do NOT wear a binder on an airplane. i know it sucks and can be very hard bc of dysphoria but would you rather be unbinded or suffocating?

- max

[romansleftshoulderpad]

Also binders can fuck with the TSA scan and get you pulled aside.

Okay, I had to check out the Van Eyck thing. I was a bit in denial because, come on, every single person can’t look like President Putin!

There are no words to describe how wrong I was.
