[desultory-suggestions]

Relationships are all about compromise and communication. If you want different things but refuse to talk about it, you’re far more likely to get stuck in a situation where you’re both unhappy. Be vulnerable with each other, be honest about what you want for yourself, and seek an answer where you’ll both be better off. This won’t always be a desirable process or have an ideal answer, but it is always better to try than automatically give in to the idea that it’s impossible.

Hello, can you or your followers please give some words of encouragement about how careers aren't linear? And how that what you study in college/university isn't always what your career is in, and how that is ok? (And any words of advice for how to figure out, post-college, what it is you actually want to do? Or that it's ok if that process takes a while?)

Feeling lost and not where I should be in life because life happens and circumstances change.

Thank you!

My darling child... you are doing JUST FINE. In fact, we're proud of you for approaching your future career prospects with such thoughtfulness!

Ministry of Justice

As I've already spelled out, there are 350 first-order judicial courts, one per municipality, in Livonia. Beyond that, each prefecture would have a court of appeals, to address any potential appeal any person could forward.

Should the right to an additional appeal be invoked, depending on whether the law being contested is federal or Basa-level, the case will be advanced to either the Livonian Justice Council or the Basa's High Court.

Where do you See Yourself in Ten Years?

Where do you see yourself in ten years? What a question. I’m not a master of long-term planning. What I thought my life would be and the reality I see before my eyes couldn’t be further apart, which brings me to the challenge of defining success in the modern world. In my study of exceptional outliers, many are great at making plans and believing in a vision they can’t taste, touch, or smell…

Femme Fatale Guide: Top Career Tips To Set Yourself Up For Success

Figure out where your skills and passions align. Then determine the lifestyle/work culture you thrive in and what sacrifices you're willing to make in your chosen career path (for some, it's always traveling/talking to people 24/7, working late hours, unpredictable/unconventional hours, potentially lower pay/less predictable income, etc.). It truly depends on your top values, your personality, and your goals/priorities in life.

First focus on getting incredibly talented at your craft. Find a mentor(s) who will push you with their feedback/suggestions. Take classes/skills courses/read books & articles to gain more applicable knowledge/hard skills. Join clubs, apply to internships, volunteer, and request informational interviews in your desired field.

Make your skills marketable. Create a professional resume and/or neat portfolio/collection of work samples. Discover and articulate your USP (that should essentially serve as the backbone of your elevator pitch). Frame your skills through a customer/business-centric lens. How does your experience/skillset solve their problems and help a company/client achieve their goals?

Build a network for yourself. Don't be shy to reach out to companies/individuals who inspire you. Speak with your secondary school teachers and professors for connections. Create peer-to-peer networks, too, so you can grow together. Be a fearless networker and connector. Help others, do favors, and make the person glad they met/hired you. Make it your objective to be memorable through your work ethic/providing high-quality work products and showing up with a motivated & overall positive attitude allows people to like and trust you with their time, clients, money, etc.

Master the art of a killer email/cold pitch. Especially in today's world, learning how to sell yourself through intriguing emails/LinkedIn messages is the key to unlocking potential success. One client or opportunity can create momentum that will be useful years down the line, too.

When in doubt, follow up – on an email, pitch, job opportunity, connection, etc.

Be ruthless and relentless with your research. For new contacts, connections, opportunities, and information to support your pitches/job interviews/networking conversations, new technologies, and trends within your field. Read everything credible you can get your hands on. Display working knowledge and practical applications of these concepts and how they can benefit the person in front of you/their business.

Create systems. For how you structure emails/pitches, conduct research, different types of workflows/ work template structures for different types of projects, time-blocking, client funnels, etc.

Get comfortable with rejection. Use it as a primer for self-reflection and refining your craft/processes or help you pivot your approach to help you achieve your goals. Never take business decisions on behalf of a company personally (and vice versa).

Give yourself breaks, but don't give up. Tapping out for good is the only surefire way to fail at an endeavor. Be flexible in your path, but zeroed in on your goal(s). Learn when to quit or pivot, and when it's time to coast or seek growth.

In Wyoming, the US Forest Service routinely blows up carcasses of fallen horses (after removing horseshoes to minimize the hazard from flying metal debris ) to prevent gatherings of ravenous grizzly bear. But don’t worry, right now the U.S. Forest Service says the fire danger is too extreme to explode any dead backcountry horses.

And the Northern Region Blaster Examiner will have to wait for rainy season for work to pick up again.

I Just Applied for a Job. How (And When) Should I Follow Up?

Here’s an awful truth: while potential employers expect the world from applicants, they feel absolutely no obligation to reciprocate that courtesy.

In other words: you’re not going to hear back from a lot of jobs for which you apply. Sorry ’bout it.

So if you apply for a job and hear nothing but the howling void in return, be neither surprised nor distressed. They probably got your application! They probably even looked at it! But they also probably don’t think they have time to respond to every applicant.

I’ve applied for many jobs in my life. And I can count on the fingers of one hand how often an employer contacted me to follow up and say they weren’t going to hire me. Most who didn’t want me just ghosted me. So if you don’t get a response, after some time you can safely assume the answer is “No.”

The Invisible Curriculum: Lessons Learned After Graduation

The Great Unknown

The abrupt transition from the structured world of academia to the vast, uncertain expanse of post-college life is a shock to the system. Armed with a degree but lacking real-world experience, I found myself adrift in a sea of uncertainty.

At twenty-two, still under the comforting roof of my parents' home, I grapple with a silent pressure. While grateful for their support, the ambitious dreams I once harbored now feel like distant echoes.

It’s a truth conveniently omitted from the college curriculum: the transition to post-graduate life is a formidable challenge. The carefully constructed plans of our college years, based on theoretical knowledge and hypothetical scenarios, evaporate upon graduation. The real world, it turns out, is far less predictable.

The pressure to "figure it out" is immense. Peers are securing jobs, buying homes, and building lives that seem to move at an accelerated pace. Social media, a constant reminder of others' successes, can be a double-edged sword. It's a battle between internalizing these achievements as inspiration or allowing them to fuel feelings of inadequacy.

The fear of failure looms large. With every job application rejection, self-doubt creeps in. The question of whether I've chosen the right path echoes in my mind. It's a time of questioning one's identity, purpose, and place in the world.

 Lost and Found

Psychology, a subject chosen more for its pragmatic appeal than passion, became the framework for my undergraduate years. My heart, however, yearned for storytelling, a world of imagination and emotion where I could lose myself. The academic rigors of psychology, while intellectually stimulating, stifled my creative spirit. Unfinished stories lay scattered in notebooks, haunting reminders of a part of myself I had temporarily abandoned.

Graduation felt like a sudden drop into an abyss. The structured world of academia, with its clear goals and defined paths, was replaced by a vast, open expanse filled with endless possibilities—and equally endless uncertainties. The ticking clock of my peers securing jobs induced a mix of envy and desperation. Casting aside caution, I applied for roles far below my qualifications, driven by a desperate need for experience.

The toll of this job-hunting frenzy was immense. Rejection after rejection chipped away at my self-esteem. The pressure to find something, anything, to fill the void of unemployment was overwhelming. Sleepless nights, accompanied by a constant low-grade anxiety, became the norm.

It was during this period of profound disillusionment that I began to question my choices. Had I made a grave mistake by pursuing psychology? Was I destined for a life of unfulfilled potential? These questions echoed in my mind, creating a sense of internal turmoil.

Finding My Footing

Unemployment, unexpectedly, became a period of introspection. With no professional identity to uphold, I had the freedom to explore my strengths and passions without external pressures.

The initial days were filled with a sense of aimlessness. But as the weeks turned into months, a pattern began to emerge. I found myself gravitating towards creative outlets. Writing, once a neglected hobby, became a daily practice. I delved into the world of blogging, experimenting with different styles and topics.

The decision to share my writing online was a leap of faith. The digital world is a vast and competitive space, and the fear of rejection was ever-present. But with each published piece, a sense of accomplishment grew. I discovered a joy in crafting words and sharing my thoughts with the world.

Through my writing, I found a way to combine my love for storytelling with my knowledge of psychology. By exploring complex psychological concepts in an accessible and engaging way, I was able to connect with readers on a deeper level. It was as if I had found my voice, a voice that resonated with others.

Slowly but surely, a following began to grow. What started as a personal outlet transformed into a platform where others found solace, understanding, and a sense of community. People began to share their most intimate thoughts and experiences, trusting me to hold their stories with care and respect. It was through this profound connection that I realized the true impact of my writing. My psychology background provided a framework for empathy and understanding, creating a safe space for others to be heard.

Guys I need some help?

So I never really figured out what I like or "what I want to be when I grow up" and now I feel really lost. I should be doing something but most jobs require human interaction, or at least dealing with strangers and I cannnn't. I'd be fine with colleges though.

I like creating, be abstract but that's no work...I tried all the jobs with animals too, but there were too much people interactions and the stress with it, so they didn't work out. I also don't want to do freelance, since I'm awful at time management and, again, getting customers/ talking to ppl.

I was talking to chatGPT and it offered me some chill options, like Museum Attendant (I love the mysteries of life and science), Mailroom Worker and Librarian, I really liked the options: Pet Product Designer and Toy Designer.

Now, I don't have a lot of school options since I live with my bf I have to work at least part time. I'm also limited to work in my country, I can't move due to personal reasons.

So my "requirements" are: not too much stress, not too much responsibility (like a higher position), not too social (like costumer service), not too brainy (like programming and math related), not too monotone (like a factory worker). Also I wanna work under somebody, because I can't do freelance (like online shop owner)...

Something functional autistic /anxiety friendly. It doesn't have to be my life's path, but for now even...

Any option is fine :) They all help a little <3
