At risk of sounding like an asshole here, when I review resumes to choose people to interview, I 100% prioritize people who have either done an internship, an apprenticeship, or some type of self-guided project. Book smarts is good but how you apply what you learn is infinitely more important.
To me, college was way more useful for teaching myself how to learn than for covering the material for my chosen major. The ability to teach myself almost anything has helped me out a lot. If I look at a resume and I don’t see any of those things I listed, then I have no idea if you have the capacity to teach yourself and learn new things quickly, which is a must in my field. In that case, you get passed over for the candidate that looks more promising.
Just focus on making it through classes and make connections. Cs get degrees! I don’t really care if you make it with A’s, B’s, or C’s. If you make it, congratulations! It’s hard.
I had high expectations based on the line-up, and it’s even better than I thought. Shota, LEO, TAKUTO and edhiii boi are almost all of my favourite members from BMSG (the only one missing is SOTA), so I’m so happy to see them all on the same song. TAKUTO getting both lots of singing lines and a dance solo is such a nice surprise.
Shota really seems to have a good sense of how to use different people’s strengths. Feels like there’s a lot of potential for him as a producer.
and lol this fucking sucks bc I am autistic John. I never once landed a job in an interview. I do not “make connections” hell I was born disconnected. and recruiters don’t like people who don’t look in the eyes and wish to die. I suck as an actor I can’t do 2 jobs and everyone nowadays has acting as an unpaid side hustle and I hate that lol
the job market just literally Does Not Make Sense to some of us. and by some of us I mean me precisely. or society generally
lol not to get into an argument here (even bc I was banned maybe 2 weeks ago from a subreddit for this exact discussion and it’s pointless) but yea sucks to live in a society that’s ableist but like you still need money to buy food even disabled. and then people say “oh no you can walk, etc surely you are not DISABLED” no John I am not DISABLED I can do a lot of things just not what u want lol fuck you for wanting whatever it is.
but yeah it’s a bit cyclic like can’t do that → want to die → hr doesn’t want people who want to die etc lol so at one point you’re like well what if I live off grid
and then people are like “omg what are u gonna do when ur support network dies or something happens to ur health or” I Don’t Know, but what makes u think I never asked myself that lmao that’s why I was studying and paying a lot for that
whatever makes u think I have more fun studying than burning money going to concerts in Japan is unfortunately wrong I hate cramming and boring stuff as much as the next person
wow this was a lot lmao guess I hold a grudge against the mod who banned me lol the tldr is:
really wish society would stop treating theory and practice like opposites when it’s both sides of a same coin
also society’s hatred of ~booksmarts~ is just thinly veiled ableism (bc there is a particular type of personality that can concentrate on a lecture with a whole classroom around, and then people grow up and want to show this unfortunate kind that they’re so muhc better off bc they have cOnNeCtIoNs same old. as the local representant of this kind I must also say we hate studying and were likely suicidal in school as well so lose/lose)
ps can u tell I CAN’T english when I get anxious haha
i feel you man. I’m not autistic but i have mad social anxiety. interviews make me want to off myself.
i’m lucky enough to live in a situation now where people can look at a CV, see a degree and work experience and go, “ok, you can probably do this” and give me the job. No bullshit faffing around asking for “internship experience” (Which is unpaid here, btw) or “industry connections” or asking me to solve problems on the spot. It also helps that I’ve learned to only apply for jobs that I’m pretty much overqualified for, because then I can have less anxiety during interviews. Still better than no job.
i had three internships, two unpaid, before i was even considered for the job i got out of school. i went back for my bachelors as an adult and yeah it was very uncomfortable and humbling but it was the only way i could get in the door at that job (as a minority and a woman). i agree that’s definitely unkind to people that don’t fit into that neat little outline of what a ‘good worker’ is. i wish it wasn’t so connection based, idk why it’s like this honestly. it’s a crueler glass ceiling like well you can see the ceiling but good luck getting there
I need to proxy these heck
The designs are too cute, and I just started on my Saki ita bag
Do you think these will appear on Mercari soon or do I need to ask someone to visit the Donki hote in October for me?
I’m melting every time I look at this person, catching myself thinking that it was the fate.
Thank you asoftlysleepingrose mods I downloaded your stuff once and now I’m here.
Tomo and Takashi of The Madna are roomies for the Taiwan trip, flashback to about 8-9 years ago when they’d basically give so much fanservice and constantly update being roommates
I never expected myself to get into mechanical keyboards, but now I’m here with two keyboards, trying to understand keyboard speak, wanting to replace switches… I’m pretty sure it’s just me but I feel like that Shinji Ikari meme on the chair, surrounded by tech speak.
I just want keys that don’t feel like I’m ice skating … I need to feel like I’m typing… What do any of these terms mean… (okay I’m getting there though)
I’ve got one keyboard that’s super clicky (box jades) that helps me type so fast it’s probably to blame for the essay length of my posts on the
But then bc that annoys the living hell out of my coworkers, i got a set w/ linears (something boba i think?) that’s still a pretty helpful feel, but not quite as loud and high pitched.
In all honesty, what i really want is beamspring solenoids that’d have me sounding like a room full of typewriters on every sentence…
I’m supposed to be on a budget this month, but somehow I spent even more money than last month, and it’s only week 3! I really need to get my shit together and stop getting so much takeout, especially when I have more lives than usual. I need to start meal prepping again! Why am I so lazy, ugh
I “adopted” a Keychron K10 keyboard from a colleague that was already a secondhand purchase, so I’m not sure what that has, except that it’s likely red switches or one of those meant for gaming: loud, clacky, and uh, is the word tactile?
Let’s just say that while I can type essays, it’s making me slip and slide quite a bit. The sound gets annoying despite how satisfying it is and the coworker in front of me is also using a gaming keyboard with likely an equally noisy setup, so that’s where my looking for switches started.
I’m currently using a Tecware B68+ with yellow linear switches at home, while it’s pretty decent and just a little bit quieter it still can get louder especially when I’m typing at night. Probably gonna be really hard to find a specific sweet spot for myself as I seem to like neither extremes; I’m mostly using my computer for forum essay writing, yet I do like having a somewhat tactile, clicky feel of, yeah I’m registering that I’m typing without the noise. I’m thinking brown switches should do the trick…
This is so sweet but my god its louder than a grumpy clinic admin yelling my government-mandated name while jamming on her keyboard
Every time I see “Sadie”, my brain and sick humour sense are like “haha SADIE SADS new album nice nice” (until the voice of reason gently advices them to shut up)
same old. as the local representant of this kind I must also say we hate studying and were likely suicidal in school as well so lose/lose)
