Job Search Problems - NON-COVID EDITION

Searching for a job during the pandemic has been rough to say the least. It's a constant sending of resumes into the void and slowly losing any shred of hope you may still be holding on to that you get a response. Not even a response for an interview but just a response. Even if it is a rejection, it's at least something - rather than just twiddling your thumbs and hoping that even though its been a month, two months, three months... that someone is just taking a long time with the hiring process, instead of simply not spending the time of day to ease the mind of an applicant. Yea the argument can me that time is money and taking even 30 seconds to send a form rejection email is time someone just doesn't have but I think that is a whole heaping load of bullshit. 

Now not every company or firm falls in this category. Some do in fact send out a form email to say they went in a different direction or another candidate more accurately fit their needs. But those companies and firms are the exception in todays world. This. should. not. be. the. exception. to. the. rule. This should be the standard!! I know it's easy to push off the "hard" stuff but that's no excuse for a company actively listing an available position. 

And while I'm on that note, it should be required that if a company posts a position, on their own website, on a third party host, etc. it should be required that they indicate if they are actively hiring or just simply resume collecting. Now, some companies do this and some third party hosting sites do as well, but again, it is the exception, not the rule. I understand that the COVID-19 pandemic pressed the pause button on a majority of companies hiring process. But this isn't to bitch about that. I mean maybe it is because firms still had job postings up but haven't been actively searching for a candidate... but that's not the point. Also, call me old fashioned but when they do respond, and want to set up an interview, getting a phone call instead of an email is just the best! ✌️

No Phone Case, No Problem

I took my phone out of its case so I could clean the case and my god do I love a naked iPhone. I just don't want to put it back in the case. I know I probably should put it back in the case so I don't get a cracked screen... but then I remember I once dropped my case-less iPhone down a concrete flight of stairs (like the kind of massive concrete staircases in major sports arenas) and it was like nothing happened. Not a dam scratch on that thing! So for now at least, I'm gonna live on the edge! No case! Knowing full well that I will put the case back on the second I drop my phone on my nose because I don't have a good grip on it without using a popsocket.. and the popsocket is on my case... ✌

Growing the Game with an Olympic Sized Platform

“We want to grow the game and expand to new markets.”   This is a simple sentiment shared between two major professional sports leagues in the US: Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League. Another common thread between these leagues is not allowing their respective athletes play for their home countries in the Olympics. Completely putting aside the monetary implications of a mid-season two-week shutdown, not allowing their athletes to play on truly the world stage is the exact opposite of trying to grow the game and expanding to new markets.   Let’s rewind all the way back to 1986 for a minute. The International Olympic Committee had eased already eased up on “amateurism” and pulled the trigger on allowing true professional athletes to compete in the Olympics. This decision paved the way for Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and the rest of The Dream Team to compete in the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. Yes, at the time Michael Jordan was...

Let's Start a Massive Construction Project Whilst People are Trapped Inside

It’s really fucking hard to focus when the city you live in decides it’s time to do construction on your street. Constantly there’s buzzing and grinding and loud noises and the other sounds of construction that just never stop. (Ok they do stop but that’s like after 5pm so it doesn’t count.)   Don’t get me wrong, my road needs a good repaving so that it doesn’t feel like I’m going to bottom out my car each and every time I choose to leave my driveway, but to choose to start the construction whilst everyone, except for the construction people who are apparently essential, is stuck inside their homes is just crazy to me.   Like I guess for those constantly on zoom calls there’s a lot of people going “oh sorry about the background noise, they are just digging up the old sidewalk and putting down fresh new concrete.” For me, it’s a, “GAHHHHH I CAN’T FUCKING THINK LET ALONE STUDY FOR THE NYLE RIGHT NOW!!” And since I live alone, I am either talking to myself or to the houseplants I...
