Harry works on his resume
#disco elysium#fanart#Harry du bois#disco Elysium skills#rhetoric#I think about Harry trying to apply for jobs so he can quit being a cop a lot#can you IMAGINE this man interviewing for some grocery job#halfway through the interviewer realizes Harry’s been the one asking the questions for the last 10 minutes#logic check to explain why he’s the best candidate for the job but it fails

i needed to express a sentiment in the creative stylings of @dunmeshiminimumwage
#eliot posts#dunme#delicious in dungeon#dungeon meshi#sorry to put toshiro in the roll of shitty job interviewer lmao#but he was the best fit for ''guy that wants me to read their mind''#laios being my internal monologue here#i was on my THIRD interview of the day i was Dying#tho since the prev two interviews i had were for similar positions and told me their salaries outright at least i could use that number#(though tbh my work persona is more of a kabru. my customer service voice is unparalleled)#(at my first job even my coworkers thought i was sooo cheerful til i got too comfy and casually made a joke abt wanting to asphyxiate on a#plastic shopping bag like a sea turtle. in front of my sweet elderly coworker. oops!)#(also this job was during quarantine and after weeks of working together i took my mask off in front of one coworker for the first time#and she called like half the department over from their registers to look at how pretty i was??? prettyboy powers unmatched ig)#(also my first interview today went SO well i charmed that interviewer so good despite my lack of qualifications)#(she even complimented my social skills and said i seemed like the type who could get along well and make good conversation with anyone!)#(which is important bc i was interviewing for an elder care position. also old people especially tend to think i am a Delightful Young Lad)#(unless i accidentally make a morbid joke around them ig lmaooo. or. well. some of them like those too. but not that one coworker lol)#(if only that skill transferred over to actually making friends irl. my autistic ass has so few close irl connections)#(i hope my exceedingly short list of character references does not prevent me from getting hired)#AND ALSO my first job asked the same wage question and i said twelve dollars#and they were like all our new employees start at 7.75#the union insists that we pay all new employees a whopping 50 cents above min wage. (we'd pay less if we could)#like dawg why did you ask that then??? if my answer did not matter at all???

Bombed my interview today. Gave the worst possible answers to the questions, stuttered my way through the easy ones, all around a failure. On the upside, we didn't click and I don't think I'm a good fit for the role, so all I lost was ten minutes and my dignity, and I gained some experience.
#then I called my dad and workshopped better answers to the questions everyone will ask#namely: why did I leave one job and spend a year and a half at a different job before coming back to the first one?#(yeah I gave an incredibly stupid answer. I know better.)#and the good news! I didn't cry!#onward we go#praying this next job interview goes better

went to a job interview and all the applicants were girls all cheering each other on and giving pointers and telling each other we’re beautiful. I love women
#any way i definitely flunked the interview 🫡#i was so ass#right when the interviewer asked me ‘tell me about yourself’ my mind went blank..🧍🏽♀️#stuttering like a fool#funny bcs i’ve done so many interviews before and these fuck ass questions get me everytime#i knew i flunked just by the way her expression changed. it’s like she disconnected 🫠#it’s ok it’s all good#the girlies cheered me up so good I don’t even care I didn’t get the job#one of them said ‘don’t be nervous it’s all about confidence and if you don’t get this one surely there’s a better one waiting for you’#and she ate#we never said our names to eachother but I’ll forever remember them#ok bye!#chatter#i have another interview tomorrow anyway so… 🤞

Including me this department now has 2 student teachers + 2 long term subs (with 2 of the “real” teachers working out leaves for next semester). Technically, I’m not even “on duty” with them yet. I’ve only been shadowing as I prepare to take over for this teacher for her leave. And STILL they’re telling me “interviews come first” and bending over backwards to ensure coverage for any interview I can get. I won’t even get my full sentence out before they’re telling me to accept the interview and working out coverage.
#I have a feeling that I am not going to be doing nearly as good of a job on this long term thing as the previous one#bc I’m just gonna be swamped with various interview things#gotta record videos for this one and respond to written questions for another#got asked for an in person or virtual meeting at noon next week with no further info provided#no vibes no length estimate no nothing#just ‘are you available at noon this day?’#so how the hell am I supposed to prepare for lessons and grade with fidelity on rubrics I’m barely familiar with?#im obviously not going to just give everyone 100s on everything or whatever#but there’s probably going to be very few failing grades on things that get turned in lol

bro i'm so glad people are talking about how bad the call her daddy girl is at interviewing, halsey's interview was unbearable to watch as well
#just bc you ask questions everyone wants you to ask doesn't mean you're doing a right job or what you're practicing is journalism#and also like the way she would just sum up what they've been talking about and then expect the guest to say something to finish...#like girl i'm watching the fucking interview. i KNOW what you guys are talking about#you don't need to sum it up for me every 5 questions

#I'm still waiting for the formal offer letter but let me tell you how i got this job#a hiring manager reached out to me on LinkedIn asking if I'd be interested in the team he's building#so i was like yeah I'll throw my hat in#i had an easy coding screen with him (valid palindrome lol)#then i had a screen with another manager around QA practices#then i went through four more interviews as part of a 'final loop'#one was a more difficult coding question. one was design a test framework. one was QA-behavorial#and the other was communication + collab behavorial#each of those six interviews was a 45 minute video call btw#this all took like. three months lmfao#then a week after that i heard back that they didn't want me for that role#but that one of the guys i interviewed with is a hiring manager on an adjacent team and he really liked me#when i looked back at my notes sure enough that guy is the one who ended our call with 'i hope i get to work with you!' lol#so they wanted to put me for this other slightly less technical role#and i was like yeah sure why not i liked that guy too lol#so the next day i had one final interview with a senior leader asking about my priorization and conflict resolution skills#which makes sense since this is a more cross-functional communication role with lots of talking to developers#and that guy was awesome and definitely someone I'd work for#so a few days later i got the verbal offer!#i will also add that during all of this i also went to the final stage for a different team at the same company#but was plain out rejected from that one lol#plus i did beginning screens for two other roles as well and didnt make it as far#all this to say i did like... over a dozen interviews with this company since October lol#and i studied like CRAZY. i spent hours on leetcode and hours putting together stories from my experience#i worked very very very hard and it finally fucking paid off!!!!!#back in october i said to my wife 'i want to get a job at (company). i think that will be my goal now.'#and she was like lol ok. but i kept getting interviews and studying for them#working harder than i ever did in college even lmao. and she was like oh wait you're really serious#and then she helped me sooooo much by taking care of the kids while i studied and stuff like that#but yeah i did it. i put my mind to it and i fucking did it!!!!!

I am new to motogp, but what the fuck is the deal with Uccio and the rosquez drama in 2015.
My brother in Christ are u stupid? Why don't you tell Vale to put all his stamina and mental games on f.ing Lorenze, the actual threat to the 10th? You could scheme the divorce in 2016 or sth you stupid Ipad stand!
Oh my god! An opportunity to analyse Uccio! Persona non grata and public enemy number 1 on motogpblr (btw, are there any Uccio shooters on Tumblr? My inbox is a safe space, I wanna hear your side of the story).
There is no way for me to know for a fact why Uccio ended up being the first domino to fall that led to Sepang 2015 but I did look around to see if I could find a bit more about the relationship between Vale and Uccio.
These two go all the way back to the crib, literally. Uccio mentioned in an interview that Tavullia is a small town and they were only a few months apart in age so they ended up at the only day care in the town together.
Uccio has been called a bumbling fool and a freeloader and what not (look at this post openly roasting him for being Vale's Lackey) and despite my dislike of him I won't do the same (for once lol). Vale shot to stardom at a young age doing the death sport that required him to travel extensively. What better way to feel grounded than to have your childhood friend near you at all times (the fact that Vale didn't leave Tavullia for flashier places like Monaco or wtv has been reiterated in so much writing about him, and Uccio has said the same). There is definitely an element of familiarity and comfort that both Vale and Uccio seek from each other. Uccio mentioned that they would come back from a weekend of racing, put down their suitcases and immediately get on the phone with each other, which, teenage bestie-ism is such a force lol it could power cities if harnessed.
Anyway, back to racing. The consensus is that Vale didn't have the best rivals in Biaggi and Gibernau, they were inconsistent and susceptible to mind games. Vale enjoyed the initial years of his career as an untouchable, peerless talent. And then..... the winds changed direction :)
Vale was 36 in 2015, most pro athletes are considered done and dusted at that age. He had been putting his body through years of premier class motorcycle racing. Add to that how bad the Ducati years had been and just, so much life had happened. I don't want to talk about Sic's death, but that too and while racing at that. Vale had already started working on the academy (Franky was signed in 2013 afaik). Vale had moved on from the glittering, ebullient, darling of every circuit personality. Imo choosing to be a mentor and doing that well is among the most impressive things Vale has done but when you mentally cross the rubicon to accept your youth is decidedly over, it changes things. For starters, it's a real question of whether you've already chosen to hang your boots. What I'm trying to say is, a lot was at stake in 2015 for Vale. The kind of, calm and bemused, quietly malicious as and when required public persona that Vale has honed over the years needs the solid bedrock of consistent winning to seem graceful. It wasn't just a championship at this point, it was a question of pride and cementing your legacy and being the architect of how the world perceives you when the odds have been stacked against you for a while.
Back to Uccio. He simply didn't trust or like Marc. Or anyone who was on the racetrack at the same time as Vale (he didn't even spare sweet nothings for Viñales). I have no concrete theory for said distrust short of just saying Uccio is a bit of a slimy character (this interview of Uccio when he's doing his best impersonation of henchman from an old Hollywood western). Uccio wasn't even happy when Marc made the infamous visit to the ranch in winter of 2014. Guess the whole "Marc is helping Jorge win" thing was Uccio's attempt at reminding Vale of his ruthless nature that he thought Vale was finding hard to tap into (Vale did say Marc was an updated model of him). A friend once said that a lot of time public facing figures aren't as cruel or rancid in their interpretation of the world as much as the followers of said people. So Uccio started talking shit and given the circumstances of 2015, it made an impact.
Ultimately the odds were stacked high and Vale made a mistake. I suppose Vale knows a thing or two about how pressure can make someone succumb to errors :)
So that's my take on the whole deal. Uccio, croney par excellence, used Vale's desperate title bid in 2015 to purge some of his misplaced blood lust. He made Marc his target because according to him the young ones on the grid were nothing but a nuisance. Vale fucked up and let it drive his paranoia and made a big fucking mistake.
#sorry for the delay my big girl jobs needed attention and I managed my time poorly this week and winters make me want to sleep for longer#thank you anon for the question I loved having to read and hustle for it#sorry brevity is NOT my strong suit I'll work on it#another thing is that shit just goes missing from the internet :(#its heartbreaking all the interviews and stories you want to access have turned to dead links#i love asks I'm finally making my way through them!!!!!#any excuse to talk about Vale lol#uccio salucci#valentino rossi#uccio#vale#motogp#asks#anon#sepang 2015

The star method is easier than it looks trust me😭 if they ask what was a problem at work you’ve solved before you basically just think like: the situation was the lightbulb blew out the task was getting it fixed within an hour the action you took was getting a ladder to fix it and the result was you were able to have the lights back on for everyone. It’s just a more concise way to retell a past event! Believe me, I learned it the night before I had my second interview with the regional manager at my job after the first manager recommended I practice it. I believe in u
OHHH THAT MAKES SENSE in my head i thought they were gonna present you a problem that you may confront during the job and then you solve it on the spot or smthn LAMODJQKEHQJ 😭😭😭😭
#i did ask a friend what her past interviews were like and she said its super easy i just lie and make up stuff on the spot and ???!?!?!?!??#she told me one of the questions she asked her was just what do u do on ur free time or when was the last time she lied and like wtf#like was that a job interview or small talk why would they ask that 😭#anyway im alr in the area and i have like 15 mins left to just fuck around im shaking bro 💀💀#franswers

Okay I saw a post on a different site that someone got this question on a job interview:
You’re given an elephant. You can’t sell it or give it away. What do you do with it?
And now my wife and I are debating the best answer. So I want to know what you guys would do.

despite my previous post, I don’t know how to handle when people talk abt things I don’t know or understand bc I focus too hard on my own reactions so I don’t accidentally offend them bc there’s only so many times you can say “oh really?” before you sound sarcastic ‼️💥
#LIKE I DONT WANNA ONE RESPONSE THEM BC I HATE THAT TOO YKNOW !!#i get saur nervous#it’s an even tighter pickle when it’s a media I dislike bc I don’t like lying or being rude so I go into customer service mode#but usually I’m interested or like to hear without wanting to seek it out myself#but it’s one of those social skill (?) struggle moments where I don’t know what to do but I try . but end up nervous#job interview ass#‘’right! yeah. uh huh! really!’’ (I feel like the devil !!!)#ALSO THIS IS ALL WORSE IN PERSON BC I WILL NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT AND I THINK IT MAKES ME LOOK SOO BORED BUT IM JUST TRYING TO HEAR#ur honour im turning my ears toward you#also looking at peoples face make me feel exposed and I will immediately focus more on my position again#there is just too much work ‼️‼️‼️‼️🤮🤮🤮🤮#ive stopped trying with the eyes it’s too stressful my heart races#in my head I’m like And this is where I ask a specific question abt this part of the topic ! as if it’s a puzzle (it’s a puzzle to me)#i Hope i dont sound like a hypocrite I was mostly joking in my other post I think I’m aware of when I’m doing too much phphph

How did your job interview go?
thanks for asking!! It actually went pretty well I think. I'll most likely get the job but I have to give them a work permit first. The one question I got stuck on was the whole "tell me about yourself" thing.... kinda awkward but whatever. Like wdym tell you about myself??? I hardly know myself
