Enchanted-pisces - Randomness

Hey.

You.

That's right, you.

The one hurting. The one that's been abused. Belittled. Browbeat. Gaslit. Beaten. Starved of love.

You are more than the ones who have broken you so badly. You are seen, you are known, you are heard, and someone cares for you.

Maybe you haven't met them yet. Maybe you'll find them in the notes of this post- who knows?

There's only one way to find out. Gotta keep trucking on and see.

Please know that you don't deserve a bit of the hell you've gotten- nobody deserves that.

And I know that you are hurt. Probably badly, one way or another. But there is a better life waiting for you on the other side, so push for it and try to believe that it's possible.

Maybe this will only reach one person, but maybe that one person needs it.

If you know someone like this, send this to 'em- and try to reach out more often. You could save a life.

If this applies to you (if you need to ask, it does), I hope it'll mean something to you.

That's all.

A couple job interview hacks from someone who has to give a job interview every single goddamn day: (disclaimer: this goes for my process and my company’s process, other companies and industries might be different)

1. There are a few things I check and a few questions I ask literally just to figure out if you can play the game and get along with others in a professional setting. Part of the job I interview for is talking to people, and we work in teams. So if you can’t “play the game” a tiny bit, it’s not going to work. Playing the game includes:

- Why do you want to work here? (just prove that you googled the company, tell me like 1 thing about us, I just want to know that you did SOME kind of preparation for this interview)

- Are you wearing professional clothing? I don’t need a suit just don’t show up in a ratty t-shirt and sweatpants.

- Are you able to speak respectfully and without dropping f-bombs all the time? Not because I’m offended but because I don’t want to be reported to HR if you wind up on my team.

- Can you follow simple directions in an interview?

2. Stop telling me protected information. I don’t want to know about what drugs or medications you’re on, I don’t want to know about you being sick, I don’t want to know if you’re planning to have children soon, I don’t want to know anything about your personal life other than “can you do the job?”

3. When we ask, “What questions do you have for me?” here are my favorites I’ve heard: - What does the day-to-day look like for a member of your team?

- If one of your team members was not performing up to his usual standard, what steps would you take to correct that?

- What can I start doing now to accelerate my learning process in this job?

- What are some reservations you have about me as a candidate? (be ready for this emotionally….it will REALLY help you in the future, and I’ve had people save themselves from a No after this, but can be hard to hear)

- In your opinion, what skills and qualities does the ideal candidate for this job possess?

- What advice would you give to a new hire in this position/someone who wanted to break into this industry, as someone who has worked here for a while?

Those are just my tips off-the-cuff. I work in sales in marketing/SAAS, so these can be very different depending on the industry, but I wish the people I interview could read this before they show up.
