Ugh. A former colleague sent me a resume for someone she knows who is looking at some positions in my company and asked that I try to steer it up the line. First off, the email chain referenced like nine jobs that she was interested in. Really? Plus the resume is an eye-bleeding mix of fonts, capitalization, and even red text. And her degree(s) are from online and/or marginally accredited places.
The person who made the ask is someone I like and respect, so I'm taking it on faith that this person is actually a lot better than they come off. (The person is also from Dubai, so that may explain the online degrees and possibly different cultural expectations re what a resume should look like.) But come on.
Also, I need a lifehack. How do I stop the zippers on my boots from jangling so loud? I don't usually notice but in the quiet of the office it's really obvious.
wrap masking tape around the zipper tabs.
Interview over. Went okay, maybe, but I am a bundle of nerves now. Ugh.
brenda -- wrap a little bit of color-coordinated yarn through the hole in the zipper tabs? Or masking tape on the underside of the tabs, so that it doesn't show?
Treat yourself, -t. "Went okay, maybe" deserves it. Hell, finishing it without being run out of town deserves it.
Colin is pathologically sociable. If you're ever trying to leave anywhere, don't let him out of your sight. He will talk to anyone about anything until a third party stops it. And now that complete strangers have a reason to talk to him, it's way worse. You gotta Ferguson-pad now. Twenty years ago, I never guessed it would be a) something that would still affect my life and b) worse now.
Thanks, ita. Hey, I didn't get escorted off the premises, that's a win! And I have chocolate, that should help.
I bet you did great, -t! Chocolate is always a good idea.
I am so blah today. I think it is partly the weather, but not sure what else. Maybe the emotional letdown from being so happy that yesterday was my last day with nasty boss, but now I have a week and a half more at the job.
How does that work, msbelle? Is nasty boss just not going to be around, or what?
