Dear Job Recruiters, Headhunters, and Talent Acquisition

Many job seekers, such as myself, understand that our resumes will go through an automatic system that may easily put us in the trash before any human set eyes on it. And, even if our resumes DO go through, they need to be short, easy to read, and to the point, yet hold SEO keywords reflective of the job we're applying for, and hint slightly at our personalities so that it doesn't look AI or boring. Something that will be professional yet attention-grabbing and that won't waste your time.

AND YET. When we go to look at job descriptions, it resembles a notorious recipe on a blogger's website. There's all this pointless information and we don't get to "qualifications" or even "job description" until the very end... The most IMPORTANT information becomes a chore to find.

Perhaps we can change the game and make it equal. We'll be short and to the point, but you should be, also. Give us the dirty info we need to know before wasting our time trying to sell us on a company we can't even work for.

Imaginary Life Day 1

Things kinda suck right now. Not like everything is terrible, just more like my patience is constantly being tested and not much is going right. So I've decided I'm going to make up an imaginary life for this blog. Cam and I are getting ready to open up our shop. We had some disagreements on how to decorate it. He wanted something that felt like a coffee shop, cozy that supported local artists, with a natural yet dark color theme. I wanted a vintage vibe, 1920s inspiration, leather chairs, industrial shelving, dark decor. Elegant and sophisticated. But it isn't a coffee shop, or a bar, as mine would have been appropriate for. We are opening up a cupcake shop! Plant-based because we are both lactose intolerant and I never want to make something I can't try. It is also where customers can drop of vintage sewing machines to have serviced. This is a hobby of mine, so it just made sense to have both businesses run out of the same shop. For this reason, we combined the concep...

I paint???

I am definitely preparing for an event in less than two weeks 😬

Back to Basics

It's been a while since I've journaled online. I probably shouldn't. Love Life has been a bit hectic and I'm almost on the verge of getting overwhelmed. I'm ok for now, though. Last November, I went through a breakup. Somehow ended up with a new boyfriend almost immediately afterwards. And now, we are looking into moving in together. Already. And I'm actually looking forward to it. I'm not sure I've ever looked forward to moving in with ANYBODY. I'd rather be alone. I mean, I'd usually rather be single--I didn't even want to date my last boyfriend. He had to whine and complain and give me an ultimatum which really should've told me something, but I think I was too depressed to listen to reason. Now I'm with a guy that I actually love to be around and that makes me feel secure and happy. Who knew that was actually a thing? Career You know how, by my age, I'm supposed to have things figured out, but then we find out a lot of peopl...
