#job apps....

"applicants should submit a cover letter and list of at least 3 references" okay well counterpoint. what if I came to your doorstep with eyes the size of oranges and a face that even a kicked puppy couldn't rival and you just gave me the job because you felt bad. what about that

i really do think there’s a huge disconnect on here w/ people who have never used tiktok as to what it actually is and who actually uses it. the number of people i’ve seen call it a “teen dancing app” is actually insane. it has not been a teen dancing app since i was in high school, around 2016 - 2020. the main communities i saw on a daily basis were 1) black history/anti-racism educators, 2) high school & college teachers sharing in-classroom strategies and frustrations with the education system, 3) local/state political leaders giving real-time updates on behind-the-scenes government decisions, & 4) community activism & leadership. like tiktok is an adult platform. almost every person i interacted with was my age or older. and yes it completely depends on your fyp and how you interact with the app, yes there’s still teenagers and dance videos and literally anything else you can think of. but these communities of adults aren’t insubstantial at all, they have literally millions of interactions on a daily basis. there’s about a million other types of communities that i could name just off the top of my head, because the range of users was SO diverse and thriving. it’s a long-distance community tool, just like any other social media—and honestly much better than any other social media, because it relies primarily on the kindness of strangers. i saw at least 5-10 videos today of queer people in rural areas panicking because they don’t have any access to queer community on any other platform or in real life. and before i end this i do want to say i think tiktok is coming back, i think this is a highly orchestrated political move, etc., but i do know it won’t ever be exactly the same. people are panicking about free speech violations because tiktok was a place where people fucking SPEAK. i have never seen mass mobilization and communication in this same way for as long as i’ve been alive. it is the people’s app, not just a silly teenage thing. if you’re not on tiktok and never have been, please stop talking about it like you know anything at all😭

hc Chuuya may complain about Dazai endlessly but i bet if Dazai put him down as a reference for a new job and Chuuya was called to confirm he'd fucking sell Dazai like he was employee of the year

Chuuya, getting a call on a random Thursday: hello, i'm calling to speak to Chuuya Chuuya: this is him speaking caller: i'm calling from xyz firm to confirm Dazai's employment history Chuuya: ...uh. yes. ofc. Dazai is one of the best...workers i've ever had the pleasure of...working with

caller: i heard you've been working together since business school Chuuya: ??? BUSINESS SCHO— uh yes. Dazai was one of the smartest students there. um for sure. he was made for finance caller: did he not specialize in marketing? Chuuya: Chuuya: well. he's multitalented

caller: is this Dr. Nakahara? Chuuya: doctor??? caller: apologies, is this not the right person? i'm calling to speak about a colleague of his, Dr. Dazai Osamu? Chuuya: Chuuya: righttt. doctor. Nakahara. that would be me

Dazai applying for random jobs that he doesn't actually have any credentials for yet somehow passing the stages of recruitment so Chuuya's always thrown off when he gets called to confirm bc wdym Dazai told you in his interview we were CO-RESEARCHERS in MED SCHOOL??

Cellbit: Absent mother, huh? Thank God that I am a- uh… It's better to not touch this subject and move on. In my defense, my son is dead… To my knowledge.

the company i work for decided that its switching from the german formal "You"(Sie) to the informal "you" (Du) in all of our websites so now we have to scour the entire database to change it and i quite frankly hate that, not just bc the unecessary extra work but especially bc its such a weird and unecessary change

i bet its bc everything here is getting englishfied (both literally and culturally it feels like, when my new boss talks its half in english bc every second german word is just replaced by an english one despite there being perfectly fine words for it in german too, its so annoying) and bc they want to sound more personal in hopes of getting more clients bc 'company is your fwiend uwu!!', i know this here is the amercian tm site so you wouldnt understand really but i do not want to be greeted with 'du' by companies, no, thats too personal, you dont know me and im not giving you my data, stay away!!

i guess thats how i would describe it .. the formal you is like a polite distance, like someone you dont know staying outside your personal space, but when its the informal 'you' it feels invasive unless i told you you can call me that, and that goes double for companies

maybe its a small thing that doesnt seem important but i cant stand it, im just a little part time worker doing data work so i got no say in it but the companies founder also announced hes giving his post to his kids some time ago so ...... since then theres been alot of changes and new projects that solely aim to imitate whats popular and whats done by other companies, despite ours being one that is, or used to be, intentionally different, like, that was the POINT, but i guess chasing trends is just too appealing for CEOs

I have no motivation to work on the type of code that will get me a job. Instead I'm wasting all my time writing the type of code that I'd write on the job

It's so nice being a Moon Knight fan when you don't have a comic purist telling you how much you suck for enjoying the show as well.

tumblr i don't have a problem with weird kink adverts in theory but how are you going to justify deleting sex workers for titty pics and ban trans ladies for breathing because apparently that's sexual harassment and then show me the adverts that you do

i swear to FUCK if i have upload ONE more resume to a fucking company that DEMANDS that file names have to be under 50 characters i will go fucking INSANE. let me upload my applications as '*my first name and last name* resume 2024 fresh food team member *maybe the job number goes here* woolies *enter location here*', for example. i am SO FUCKING SICK AND TIRED of application software not letting me upload my cover letters and resumes like this and DEMANDING that file names MUST be under 50 characters otherwise they wont upload. im sorry but it's how i fully distinguish between my application files. fuck you.

This really doesn't have to go on main but I'm putting it here for now:

So uh. Job hunting online for retail positions is definitely an experience. I saw a part time position listing for an office supply store and I think to myself, good! Not a restaurant! I can do office supplies! So I submit the resume/application and then get to the "great, thank you for that! Here are some multiple choice answer questions ranging from word association to number sequences to math problems!"

And I think to myself "great! I'm good with numbers and math and I should be okay associating basic words for this lovely RETAIL POSITION" and then I get the quick and easy practice questions. Wonderfully easy. I've got this. It's neverending and you just have a 10minute time limit to answer as many as possible! No problem!

Then I click "begin" and get slammed with the most ungodly whiplash with the first question being word association about "which of these four words is DIFFERENT" and the options were STRANGLE, PUSH, THROTTLE, and SUFFOCATE.

Hey, uh. Hey retail job. You uh. You okay there? I have some concerns and it was the first question.
