As with all things, context is king. A reasonable person is decided by actions, not desires.
If you’re taking your little miscreant who can’t stop screaming to a Friendly’s, fair play. If your well behaved child is at a $100+ a plate Morimoto restaurant, that’s fine too. If your child is reasonably acting like a…

Or mixing with Coke... either -aine or -cola.

HA! You are talking exactly about my former boss. I worked at a remote location for a small, family owned but successful company. Our President and our CEO (father + daughter) took us to Morimoto’s restaurant once; him + Japanese wife and nine year old daughter, me + my wife.
He ordered the $140 per person, 9 course,…

This was better than the article. Thanks for writing this.
I’ve debated #3 and #5 with “HR Professionals” many, many times. I think that the phrase “Responsible for” should be verbotten in resumes.

Recruiter for what field/industry?

PIZZA DELIVERY???? HA-ha-ha-ha-ha=ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha=ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

It felt like Hillary was trying her own version of a dog whistle to me.
I’d probably have just made a joke about how the staff must have fumbled on that research. It highlights the lack of knowledge by Swisher without bringing race into the equation. People can make their own judgements about Swisher without being led…

That’s fantastic advice. Thank you!
I think people always forget that quality trumps quantity or formatting. That isn’t to say most people can get away with shitty quantity or formatting though.

I’ve never heard that phrase. I like that phrase.

With your two knives?

That is a lot of “non-communication”. There’s no real quantifiable results. No “so what”? No answering the question “what did you do (that’s better) in this role that someone else in the equivalent position wouldn’t have?”
I’m no headhunter. But I’ve sat through training with Orion, Lucas Group, Bradley-Morris, gone…

Good point. I guess he expected enough new achievements each year to warrant it. I’ve been doing the “same job” for seven years but I’ve definitely found new things to do and made the old mission redundant. If I wasn’t continuously improving my job, I’d lose my mind.

“Write what you know” is the most misunderstood piece of writing advice. You think Stephen King wrote what he knew? Ray Bradbury? Ursula Le Guin? Patrick O’Brian? Do you think Hilary Mantel experienced english court life?
Dude - it is about using your experiences - what you’ve witnessed, what you’ve heard, what…

I might have to dispute the statement over resume length, but I’d love to hear other people’s opinion. I think what you are saying is good for people at the beginning to middle of their career, or if they haven’t been in a management position.

But what do you do when HR is the source of the problem?

Damn. Ya’ll have sherlock levels of sluthiness and judginess. What’s the Anchorman? I’m not even mad, I’m impressed. I glossed right over that shit.

The lovely thing about Amazon is that they literally don’t give a shit about your reasoning. I’m not a serial returner, but I’ve definitely returned things for less than “Hey, I think the author is probably a douche.” Also - don’t give a shit about cavier. Just think this was an article that epitomizes the fall of…

Yeah. I bought Drew’s book on Kindle- didn’t realize it was this guy . Haven’t read it. This post is making me consider asking them for a refund.

As a 5'7" man, just have your spouse work out. My ex was 5'11". We were together 5 years. One of the reasons I think we were together that long is because I could literally throw her from across the bedroom onto the bed when I desired her enough.

+1 for Bahrain. It is a shame that I’ve never seen more litter in one country, but the people are friendly and it is relatively safe. Pay tends to be good too.
