lol just gonna vent about work for a second:

i'm realizing why (aside from the bullshit accommodation situation) i have been feeling so demoralized at work lately. our newest team member is about 8 months in now, so he is taking on more and more responsibilities, which includes data visualization bc he knows tableau. blah blah blah, i won't go into the details of what's gone on the last two months but i had a very frustrating experience with a project i was working with him on.

anyway, what's bugging me is this: this huge initiative that we compile/analyze/report the data for has been central for my entire time in this role; when i got here, we had hardly any data. i was central to compiling basically all of it, providing descriptive analytics and some basic visualizations (so. many. excel. charts.) there's not many people on my team, so truly, i think it's fair to say i have the most thorough understanding of this data, not just in terms of what it represents for this initiative, but also what it takes to compile it.

so it frustrates me for someone to come in who has significant experience with data analysis tools but less experience (seemingly) with like, being in the trenches with data. i don't know how else to explain it, but like, we're talking merging, compiling, analyzing and visualizing data all with excel! versus running code on a dataset that you were just given & not actually spending a lot of time in the data. (this is how a bunch of errors almost ended up in a pretty big presentation!)

also, on a related note, i am frustrated with my position because i do have to spend so much time mired in data, i don't have a whole lot of time to learn and implement new skills, but i have all of this analytic understanding courtesy of my two soc degrees that i never get to use! it's not about not liking what i do, it's just feeling like i'm slightly being pushed out of things i was central to building and simultaneously feeling like i'm lowest on the totem pole.

and i'm also like, slightly jaded in this weird backwards way because i don't understand why i was promoted in the context of all this lmao. it sucks to feel like i need more education to be able to advance in my field because the only skills i'm developing rn are with antiquated tools.

A ton of job postings might actually be fake | A new survey found that almost 40% of companies posted a fake job listing this year — and 85% of those companies interviewed candidates for fake jobs

I was looking up alternate names for "librarian" to make a post about different names for the profession and...

Did you know you can report fake job offers to the Better Business Bureau?

They're not really clear on what a "fake job offer" is, but personally, if you're shown an ad or "job listing that might interest you" by a site like Glassdoor, and it doesn't seem to be real, I would consider that to be being "approached about a fake job offer."

Now, the company who posted the listing isn't the one that "approached" you, but the one running the website is. I wonder what would happen if the BBB started receiving a bunch of scam reports about all the fake job listings on those sites.

Anyway, if you think you've been targeted by a scam, you can report it here:

this is so obnoxious of me but i legit just spent 15 mins trying to figure out how i would answer a 'tell me about a mistake you made' question for a job interview hypothetically bc i feel like i havent made any major mistakes at work and all the mistakes that im making on the daily are stuff that dont matter like i used the wrong font or whatever. idk either im gods specialist little employee or it's just im always a lowly intern with 0 ability to impact anything seriously enough to make a real mistake in the first place yknow.

Question for British Columbians:

Is it legal for jobs to ask if I have a driver's licence if driving is not a job requirement?

I've only ever noticed this when job hunting in BC. In NS and Ontario, they never asked unless the job was related to driving. Like I feel like it's a roundabout way of them wanting you to have reliable transportation, yet I've come across a few job postings requiring a driver's licence (I don't drive) despite the job description not requiring me to drive or commute in any way?

And I'm very hesitant to apply to these jobs because of this. There are a couple like "Playground Monitor" that want me to have a valid licence, yet no part of the job description describes me driving the kids at all. Like this is not a "schoolbus driver" or "delivery driver" posting. And as someone looking to go to teacher's college I would really like to work somewhere childcare adjacent while applying to/attending teacher's college.

Maybe Reddit is a better place for me to ask this...

Job applications really be like “here’s where you upload your cv ✨ :D! You did it? Great! Now fill in this quiz that contains all the questions you answered in your CV at least three times. You’re not getting hired btw and we’ll never email to tell you that. [labels posting as urgent]. Hahaha fun right? Oh, by the way, mandatory question disclose this thing we legally can’t ask you. Six different spam emails. We’re going to sell your data. We’re never going to call you. Hey why does nobody want to work?”
