Anecdotal share here. I know very few hiring managers that expect candidates to fit 100%, heck 80% even, of a posting. Those that do aren’t ones I would ever want to work for.

I look for 3 things. And that’s not a hard and fast rule or anything. Aptitude, motivation and culture fit. I also look to my peers and larger team for their thoughts along these points.

People (pleasantly) surprise you. My last best hire (I moved to away from direct line management in my new gig) was working at their local Walmart for a year after a tough layoff from a pre sales role. I thought I would get more push back but everyone including my then boss, were like yeah! They just needs another opportunity.

And for what it’s worth, they were a great culture fit and figured the rest out along the way.

I thought I was the only one. But turns out, there are dozens of us!

Really though. Just ran a Google search. Take it with a grain of salt. 100 million subs worldwide. So it’s not huge. But doesn’t feel small either.

Pretty much same. I do get a “free” premium account with Google Fi. But since I’m paying for family already, that just sits there. But still, 5 bucks per family member per month for music and YouTube ad free, I can’t argue. It works for me.

I would reconsider things if price went up 50% though. Nothing is irreplaceable.

Did you put an SR to get thru her (mom’s) firewall first?

Yeah I have pre because I have had global entry for a while (8 years now I think). Got clear because where I am, it changes wait time from 30 minutes to 5.

No cape. I’m brown so I’m on the radar bad enough as it is as soon as I leave major cities lol.

I went thru naturalization process. They have everything already. Including DNA, retina scan, etc. So I opted for Clear. Global Entry as well. They have it all already. May as well fast track going thru customs.

I couldn’t afford to donate for a long time but I used it near daily. So now I do monthly, probably larger than average, contribution to make up for sibs from other cribs that can’t afford it. Pay it forward is indeed a golden rule.

🤣🤣 I honestly did the same

Don’t get freaked out, it’s platonic, but I love you. That write up was so detailed! I wish journalists read your notes.

Now now Bender…

That’s because the left hand is raised against the establishment. Want proof? I can’t even raise a left fist emoji… No option. Only right.

Puts on tinfoil

Good faith questions should always be welcome, even encouraged. It would be a sad world where I was still in the dark unable to ask questions about things I didn’t know for fear of offending. Thank you my rainbow friends since college. No topic was ever taboo once I started with, “Okay I have one of those questions…”

Reply was always, let’s hear it!

I honestly thought this was the Onion. Strange timeline. Bring Harambe back.

Lol never stand between a teen and their smut. It is a losing battle.

I don’t really see the point of being mean. Most humans want sex. Just move on to those that want it with you. It’s not a rejection. Just a mismatch.

If man is still alive

No way for me to know. My programming doesn’t allow it.

You need Lucy Lou bot.
