B: “We’re kidnapping.”

C: “It’s so much more efficient that way.”

PSA for people (especially teens) looking for jobs

Do NOT be afraid to call the place you submitted your application

Retail/grocery etc can be very disorganized and employees who collect your application can leave it where a manager will never see it or totally forget its there

Call back and ask if they got your application if they don’t call you in a couple weeks, not only might this snag you a job but it’ll make you look better to the employers

Sincerely, someone who is filling out papers for their job because their friend told them to call back after months of stubbornly not doing it

Edit: my grandma and boyfriends mom called back (back in the day) and thats how they got their first job

HUFFLEPUFF: “Really knowing someone is something else. It’s a completely different thing, and when it happens you won’t be able to miss it. You will be aware. And you won’t hurt, or be afraid.” –Lena Dunham (Adam Sackler: Girls: Females Only)

Job Search Tip #2

I'm sorry... But you are not important enough for more then a 1 page resume. Take out all the fluff, I want to see you.

Job Search Tip #1

Don't lie. I know you're lying. I've already found you on LinkedIn, Facebook and googled your references.

“Human resources are like natural resources; they’re often buried deep. You have to go looking for them, they’re not just lying around on the surface. You have to create the circumstances where they show themselves.”

— Ken Robinson

So I work in human resources and have sat in on far too many job interviews for my liking. What I find worrying is the lack of understanding around the purpose of a gender diverse panel.

People start to worry when the panel is all female. However, when I tell them that an all female panel is ok, but an all male panel is not because of power dynamics, they look at me like I’m speaking another language.

These are all educated professionals in a female dominated industry.

The education we give people around diversity is so limited and lacking.

There are two types of professions that make it their business to ensure shitshows don't happen:

PR and HR.
