Reply to LPT Request: I am a recent gradute looking for work. It seems applying for jobs on sites like LinkedIn is a lost cause. by [deleted]
Are you actually looking for jobs in the Art World? There tends to be a lot more people looking for jobs in the arts than there are jobs and you'll probably have a tough time if you're just sending resumes out to places you don't have a preexisting connection to. It's an industry where networking is really important and you're unlikely to get a career level position somewhere unless you have a relationship with someone there already.

Thanks for the tip. With respect to anonymous surveys, they don't really need to narrow down who wrote what because the surveys are anonymous only in name.

Agree as well. And the same with any interviews you get. Even though you are a new graduate, you likely have life experiences that will be useful skills for any job. If there are any listed items that you just don't have, be ready with additional info, especially communication skills - critical for any type of job.

Reply to LPT request : How to get off the phone (games/social media/educational videos but not in context of what really matters) and do what matters most even if it's boring? by Redskull9099
Emotional maturity helps a lot.
Also, think about your question. Even if someone gave you the perfect solution you would still find a way to get around it.

Reply to LPT: If you are considering learning a musical instrument or learning to sing, I highly recommend also learning the basics of a piano. Knowing your way around a keyboard will help you understand what you're doing on all other instruments and while singing. by BellyScratchFTW
Piano is a great tool to develop coordination, rhythm, focus, memory and many other abilities that will benefit you in all aspects of you life (and sports) later on. especially for young kids.

Most car accidents happen within five miles of home. That's why I moved 12 miles away.

Reply to [LPT] Do not buy a gift card if it comes with same value as the money that was paid for it. by an0nym0us11
Totally agree. I think when we’re younger, a thoughtful present is appreciated more since we don’t generally have a good sense of money.

OP is chapped about the .54 cents remaining on the card he forgot about from 2001 that he doesn't get to spend.

>All that stuff he mentioned doesnt get wiped down (ever) gets wiped down between flights pretty much always and gets a good cleaning overnight aswell especially now after all this Covid stuff happened.
That's generally been my experience but is also why I do bring my own wipes. I'm apparently allergic to whatever they use on Delta flights but every now and then my work makes us fly them. I hate going on a work trip and ending up with a rash down my arm for 2-3 days.

Never put anything in a work survey you would not say to your boss's face.
If you wouldn't feel comfortable saying something to your boss/manager's face, then likely you work at a place that will find some way to figure out who you are from your survey, whether they say it's anonymous or not.
And if they actually won't try and track you down, then they're prolly the sort of people you could say something to their face.

Yes, but that includes the manager's conduct as well. If the manager is fucking up and introducing the risk of employee lawsuits against the company, they will take steps to reduce that risk. This will of course vary depending on your location and the viability of legal risk from employees in your location.

Food for thought: It can be an extremely difficult and lengthy process to simply fire an employee, especially for large companies. For this reason, some companies will hire exclusively from temp agencies. If a worker isn't working out, just call the agency and ask them to send a different person in the morning. No HR fuss!
