If there’s anything I can finesse, it’s a resume, interview and pay rate.
Please help? I need these skills?
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.

@kimreesesdaughter oh snap I’m going to tweak up my resume 😂👌🏾 do you recommend that I use a PDF form for a resume?
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 🙄
what about background checks? thats gonna show us all for who we really are
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.
GOLD
Now how would YOU finesse an interview
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 ☺️
I think I’d feel uncomfortable straight up lying about previous jobs
I’m uncomfortable making minimum wage.

👀✍🏿 more new tidbits from the last time I reblogged
Please note that young Genji has a Chokuto, and Cyborg Genji has an Odachi. NOT a Katana. Genji all also carries a Wakizashi. (One could say young Genji has a Tanto but based off the size am gonna say its not) And Hanzo’s sword in the Hanamura map is a Katana.
I thought cyborg Genji’s sword was a katana for the longest time until I really looked at it. As it is to long and curved to much to be one.
1600s: most witch-hunts ended in this century. no witches were burned in North America; they were hanged or in one case pressed to death
1700s: the American Revolution. Marie Antoinette. the French Revolution. the crazy King George. most pirate movies
1800-1830: Jane Austen! Pride and Prejudice! those dresses where the waist is right under one’s boobs and men have a crapton of facial hair inside high collars
1830-1900: Victorian. Les Miserables is at the beginning, the Civil War is in the middle, and Dracula is at the end
1900-1920: Edwardian. Titanic, World War I, the Samantha books from American Girl, Art Nouveau
1920s: Great Gatsby. Jazz Age. Flappers and all that. most people get this right but IT IS NOT VICTORIAN. STUFF FROM THIS ERA IS NOT VICTORIAN. DO NOT CALL IT VICTORIAN OR LIST IT ON EBAY AS VICTORIAN. THAT HAPPENS SURPRISINGLY OFTEN GIVEN HOW STAGGERING THE VISUAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ERAS IS. also not 100 years ago yet, glamour.com “100 years of X” videos. you’re lazy, glamour.com. you’re lazy and I demand my late Edwardian styles
I just saw people referencing witch burning and Marie Antoinette on a post about something happening in 1878. 1878. when there were like trains and flush toilets and early plastic and stuff. if you guys learn nothing else about history, you should at least have vague mental images for each era
“Les Miserables is at the beginning, the Civil War is in the middle, and Dracula is at the end” sounds like the longest weirdest worst movie I’d pay to see in theatres five times.
Demon horns being broken halos from when they were angels.
Demons willingly grow their own halos, but never complete the circle to symbolize their rebellion against heaven’s strict order.
In addition to the second one, angels are GIVEN their halos rather than earning them. Demons like Lucifer rebelled for freedom and individuality, thus demon horns all look different compared to an angel’s boring halo.
Horns are useful tools, but if you join them into a circle they become useless badges of authority.
And the thing about wearing a badge is that you become a symbol of someone else. You’re not you, you’re an extension of the entity whose authority you’re borrowing. You can’t be yourself until you ditch it
Here’s a visual representation of angels and demons.
I figure that as angels, their “horns” would glow when connected to become traditional halos. However, this blinds the angel with heavenly light, making the angel rely on God’s guidance.
Angels who break their halos become demons, and willingly grow their horns in obscure shapes so it won’t connect back into a halo. Because the halo no longer blinds them, demons can finally see but can no longer communicate with God for guidance – the light they once gave to heaven now belongs to them, hence demons being proficient with fire allowing them to see in the dark.
Extra notes on horns & halos:
Circular horns (Halos) are smooth and easy for God to “grab” like a chain.
Jagged horns are sharp to the touch and can pierce God.
‘One of the easiest ways to show and not tell is by making your characters do things while they are talking or thinking about something. It could be anything including a chore, a daily grooming ritual, a hobby, or a group activity.
When you do this, you show who the character is by the things they choose to do or have to do. You also have to think about their body language, because the way a character does something says as much as the words they are speaking as they do it. [Read Cheat Sheets for Writing Body Language]
Try to avoid the act of scrolling through cell phones. Even if many people do this, it is passive and does not allow for movement, thought, and changes in body language.
Choose activities that fit naturally into your characters’ lifestyles. Do not force them to do things unless you mean to make them uncomfortable. [Read 5 Simple Ways To Describe Characters]
If you are stuck for ideas about what your characters can do when they are thinking about something important or while they are having a conversation, I’ve put together a list of 60 suggestions.’
The thing I remember most, looking back on my abusive relationships, is that whenever I was angry about the way I was being treated and tried to confront my abuser it was never a fight about what I was angry about. He always made it a fight about me being angry. He always made it seem like my anger was the problem, not my abuse.
Abusers will make you believe that the abuse isn’t the problem, that your ‘irrational’ anger is the problem.
variations on this very accurate post:
– “I’m trustworthy now, and you not trusting me is the problem. You not trusting me is very hurtful, and if you don’t trust me either way I may as well decide to be untrustworthy”
– “I’m not doing the scary thing right now, and you still being afraid is the problem. Your fear is very hurtful, and if you’re going to be afraid when I’ve stopped doing the thing I may as well carry on since you’re always going to be scared whatever I do”
– “I’m sorry it happened, and if you won’t accept my apology as sincere and go back to how things were then what on earth am I supposed to do?”
“Your fear is very hurtful”
UGH, to this DAY this reaction is stuck in my head. “Your feelings hurt MY feelings! How come you won’t think of ME?” Like eat shit, my feelings matter too, asshole!
But yeah uh note of advice: if anyone has a pattern of making YOUR feelings a problem because it hurts THEM too much to talk about fixing anything– run. Cut them out. Do whatever you can because this person will never “learn” or “get better”. They know what they’re doing, and they’ll only feign improvement for a while so you’ll be convinced to stay.
