That's what I'm doing now. I think it's worth the money.Nice, I see it's $12.99 to get folks into it in detail. I'll definitely look into it; much appreciated! I've been tired of the workplace I'm currently at
Michigan? That definately looks like a lot of work/effort for $9.45/hr and part time on top of it.So I landed a job as a ramp agent, at my local airport... but it turns out my negligence to ask what the pay is, has me finding out that the job is minimum wage ($9.45/hr), and has split shifts Monday - Wednesday. I'm slated for 21 hours a week, with intervals of 3-hour shifts; 8:30am-11:30am then 4:00pm-7:00pm. All I can say is, for the amount of red tape I had to go through as well as the amount of compliance I'll be having, doesn't minimum wage seem, astoundingly low?? I have nearly 50 training modules to complete within the month, but the job just doesn't feel... Worth it? It feels bad knowing I could work fast food for more, and have steady shifts. Some of the people who work there have expressed concern in regards to Delta Airlines being bought out, and currently 3 of the people (including my trainer and my head manager) are out to other airports due to staffing shortages.
So given everything stated, I've gone in for 2 days so far, would you continue to do this job?
Michigan exactly. But yeah someone who worked there for 7 years had to leave due to shoulder surgery, got rehired back into minimum wage. The place is not doing too well, to be frank. I guess in the same week I left their airplane mechanic outright walked out. It's been a mess I'm glad to not be part of.I miss the days when you could go somewhere, put an application in, maybe call afterwards, get an interview, be hired and start working within the same week. Still waiting on my background check and it's ridiculous, especially when the place I'm going to be working (assuming I don't get denied) was already short staffed.

Just take it as a sign that you were too good for it. I have been turned down for all sorts of jobs, you just have to keep moving on, the right job will come up and it will likely be better than the ones you got turned down for.Attempted to get a job at Chipotle, got the interview, didn't get a call back.
That's working wonders for my morale.
Little late to reply, but feel free to send something along. My wife is in healthcare and may be able to help comment.
I was super lucky with my first retail job where the store manager said to do an app then and there. She liked me, and this was during HS. I was hired on the spot with no interview. Now with that big ass gap working retail, I don't think many would hire me. It's been 6-7 years since I worked retail, and sadly I was terminated for a dumbass thing I did.I miss the days when you could go somewhere, put an application in, maybe call afterwards, get an interview, be hired and start working within the same week.

Broach your concerns in the interview. If they reject you for your concerns then that means they were valid. If they can address your concerns then you will have the info you need to make the correct decision.I have a final round interview at a startup today and I don't know if I really want the job. I feel anxious about this
Good luck.Go in for my interview at Subway today. It's one close to me, and can walk there for the interview and if offered the job. I've read every single advice thread on the subreddit and Indeed Q&A.
It sounded like if all goes well, she said she'd need my state ID and social security number. I'll update ASAP when I get back later!
The part that maybe the hardest for me at first is cutting the bread and remembering where stuff is.
So far it's been good. Had a fun conversation about AWS architecture now he's gettin me a burrito. I am being increasingly sold on this thingBroach your concerns in the interview.

Congratulations! I hope everything goes well in your new job.UPDATE
The interview lasted about...an hour or so. Most of it was just talking and other common sense stuff. I got the job, though!! 15-20 hours! She said she really needed day time help and all that.
I am now an official Subway team member!
Thank you
Are you using Glassdoor, Indeed, etc?I wish companies would just reply to applications. Even if they just autoreply to the initial email so I know the email exists and didn't just go into a black hole
I'm a member of this job searching group now... Medical issues mean I can't continue the career path I've put over a decade into, so I'm starting over. I was accepted into a university for a new degree path and am looking for a job as well.
I'm just thankful that I'm able to go back to school and have that opportunity.

They have an algorithm that can get your resume dropped before the employer ever gets to see it and it's kind of broken. It's designed to weed out junk input, but if you upload your cover letter first, and then your resume second it may try to read your cover letter as a resume and pitch your entire application because it thinks the resume is wrong. So, even if it sounds odd, upload your resume, then the cover letter, or try to avoid the algorithm and try to apply on the company's website...
No, do not use her as a reference or put it on your resume or a job application. If anything it looks as though she is trying to get you to quit versus firing you.didn't even last a week. do i ask if i can use her as a reference?
Thanks! I won't use her or Subway on my application.No, do not use her as a reference or put it on your resume or a job application.
Yes, having good questions can really help leave an impression. It is obviously only a part of the interview though. For example, I did a full time interview at Amazon and they sent me an email saying I'd be getting an offer just three hours after the interview. I ended up going with a different company though. I asked the interviewer this question, and I could tell I really lit a spark and he really liked the question. He answered my question with a lot of detail and enthusiasmHave 2 interviews lined up. From anyone's experience, does asking these questions get met with positive feedback from employers/hiring managers? Will be looking as an item clerk and claims representative for auto insurance, currently work in customer service and sales

"I interned last summer at company X, and when I was there I got to do a lot of data-driven development. It was my first opportunity to work in that kind environment with detailed A/B testing. Could you tell me a bit about how much data-driven development for a software engineer at Amazon?"
Also, it's good to be able to ask about work-life balance with a well worded question. I usually ask something like :
"How would you say somebody at this company is empowered to find the best way for them to excel while also maintaining a satisfying work-life balance?"
This lets them talk less about "you better work this much" and more about how they can flex their work around their life and vice versa.
I don't have a college degree so I've been trying to apply to places where you can move up (Costco as an example) and i get through 2 of 3 interviews with flying colours than the 3rd one goes to shit and it's usually because the owner or district manager is just rude and does what they can to be intimidating and the my nerves get shot. Like I don't know what I can do to stop my nerves from getting fucked
I got an email from NASA about a position I sent in my resume for as a dark horse. I'm freaking out right now. Nervous as hell about responding.
Do I reply to the email or should I call the guy?
It's been over a decade since I've dealt with a career change.
I'm not sure I understand this statement fully.
Lol sorry, typing from my cellphone so it's crappy. Basically they want a guide on how to do my job if I couldn't show up to work without warning. She wants a step by step guide written and submitted to her by the end of the week. Never in my years of working I was asked to do this. Feels like me giving up leverage if I do this. If it is even possible to do in the first place.
Not really. I had to make guides when I was an intern, but for really basic stuff.Lol sorry, typing from my cellphone so it's crappy.

I was curious if anyone ever was asked to do something like this before.
I've had to make guides before -- one was very tedious to make and the other was very short and sweet. The tedious one was supposed to be a team of individuals that would work together to complete said guide/map. The other team members always had excuses as to why they couldn't get to it or why their allocated workload wasn't completed. I ended up doing almost all of it myself. Thankless work. In my situation, I ultimately had to suck it up for the greater good. What I did streamlined the process greatly.Lol sorry, typing from my cellphone so it's crappy.

So it's about time for be to start looking for another job. Or focus on my side business. I was transferred into another boss and she is the biggest micromanager I have every witness. I was warned about her and the reasons why there is such a turn over rate of people that works under her.
Quick question. She wants me to write a manual for everything that I do. Just in case, in her words, I'm in Tahiti or dropped off this planet. So that anyone can run what I do. Is this.... Normal? I told her straight out that my projects requires a deep understand of the platform. Something that took me time to developed. Not something I can just do a Step by Step guide. Her response? Your job is not rocket science, I'm sure you can come up with something....
I stick to relevant and most recent. I don't think anyone cares that I worked at Gamestop 17 years ago.At what point can you make your resume 2 pages? I'm at 6 previous companies with 9 positions. Getting a little hard to fit on one page.
What if it's all relevant though? Been different flavors of data analyst all those years... I'm old 😅I stick to relevant and most recent. I don't think anyone cares that I worked at Gamestop 17 years ago.
I hear you, I'm old too, I started dropping the ones that were 1 year or less. I'm lucky that every where i work its for 4-5 years, so even into my 40's I don't have 14 different things listed on my resume.What if it's all relevant though?
