You have to match and tailor your resume to the job bulletin that you want and are applying for. If you don’t match it HR will just immediately throw/discard your resume. You have to remember that not all HR personnel understand every single job posting that they post nor do they have the time to scan and read every resume application.

For example: if the requirement is master of arts degree make sure that its on your resume and clearly stated in the front.

  • if certain years of experience is required: make sure to have dates of employment on each position.

  • Another mistake that resumes have is not highlighting what is on the job bulletin. For example: they want someone proficient in Microsoft word, good communication skills. You have to add this on your list of task in your résumé otherwise HR will overlooked your resume.

I have learned to add most of what’s listed in the job bulletin and then adding other task/skill that highlights those bulletins even though that’s not the bulked of my experience.

By tailoring your resume, you increase your chance for interview and also increase your score on hiring managers as well. This is from experience when I got hired my supervisor told me that I was immediately the first choice because I have the experience based on my resume.

If you are applying to any entry level, these employers know that you just got out of college. What they really want to know is your willingness to learn and also excel on that position. Chose and vet the companies that you are applying to also, and see if it’s the right fit for you. It’s a two way street you have to like the companies where you are applying to.

Good luck!

Yikes. I think you got a very backwards understanding of love if you think it’s transactional and conditional. I’m happy to say that I love who I chose to love, and am happy to report that if someone is toxic or abusive towards me or others I’m free to distance myself from them on those grounds. You see, you don’t HAVE to love someone that is awful. The only distinction is that you can love independent to what you get in return. But it takes maturity to not insert power dynamics. You should give it a try. Cheers 🥂

My dad recently passed. I’ve told him for decades that whatever he wants he needs to prearrange and prepay and let me know. That if he does I’ll make sure he gets it as he wants. HOWEVER, that if he does not do this, then I’ll get him exactly what I want for myself which is whatever is the cheapest cremation, no viewing, funeral, burial etc. The bill came to $927.

Well thats still good to hoan salesmanship unless you want to increase fuel vehicle maintenance wear and tear into a guranteed 14/hr... or benefit from the current place. Hoan salesmanship and keep looking for better opportunities. Its upnto you tho ultimately . 15grand / 600 youd have to do that nearly everyday to hit your mark . Imo work on salesmanship and look for better option would be where id lean. Take whatever bonuses you get and stash em away for items that will benefit you on improve yourself and skilset( invest into yourself, additional education, positive hobby, car ,cloths ) items that lead toward where you want to go with your life. Or a an emeergency funds etc.

That’s what abusers used to justify taking other people’s love and showing none in return. I would not advise anybody getting tangled up with anyone in that way outside of a parent-child relationship. If someone treats you like garbage or fails to show you love that becomes a data point in your decision about your regard for them.

I would stick with O’Reilly. You’ll have better hours than at Walmart, plus you will have a lot less stress and craziness around all the big retail holidays. To me that alone is worth the lower base pay.
