sometimes you need to do the hard thing. study for your test even if it’s boring and you want to avoid it. get up an hour early to exercise even if you feel like death. go out of your way to help someone else even if it’s inconvenient. do something alone even though you’re afraid of being judged. go somewhere new even if it’s scary and disorientating at first. confess to the person who makes u blush even if it means risking rejection. let go of your old habits even though it feels like you can’t live without them. it’s supposed to be hard. life isn’t going to have amazing rewards if you’re always feeling comfortable.
late night cashiers at 24-hour convenience stores are the holders of our greatest secrets and most intimate selves
not my mom, not my partner, not God himself has seen me no-make up in line to buy a choco-pop and panty liners while on the brink of a heart felt meltdown
no one has given me the empty stare of complete indifference that fills my anxious nerves with relief
there is nothing like the sweet freedom of complete nihilism experienced at a 7/11 at 2am, God lives in church, the randomness of the unfeeling universe lives at aisle 9 of CVS
Now that I’ve been directly involved in the hiring process at two tech companies, I can confirm you should definitely ignore the “must have 73 years of BlahBlah experience” in job postings you see online.
A lot of shit is put into that description arbitrarily.
Your interviewer will reveal what they really want from you, just follow what they inquire about and tell them what you think they want to hear.
And let me clarify this in case someone decides to be extra af and take my words out of context.
Don’t apply for a Director level job if you fresh out of college. Be realistic.
I’m just saying, if you do have experience but you don’t exactly meet the requirements, pull up from 30 and try it anyway.
Example:
The job I’m working at right now was asking for 5-10 years of work experience + a bachelor’s degree.
I don’t have a degree and only had 3 years of experience when they hired me.
Interview process was me asking questions that would translate into them identifying what they were looking for and then plugging in my experience so it fit the description.
King’s right, all it takes is knowing how to interview and giving them what they want to hear.
love galore
