Hiya! How have you been doing? If you've seen these, you know whats up. If you're new, these threads are for you to tell us about something cool going on in your life, or vent about anything you might want to!

For me, not a ton going on. Things are going well with the new partner, and we spent the holiday together. Chilling back at home the rest of this week, and am getting back to writing music! Still no luck with jobs, starting to apply to some lower level things just to get back to work of some sort. Shit's rough out there, been about 5 months now, and I know that ain't shit compared to what others have been going through employment wise. Watching more anime lately, so that's been fun, working through Space Dandy now.

The corgi sends her solidarity and snuggles!

Hope you've all been well! Remember, you are loved stalin-heart

Had a job interview that I think went ok today. Of the current roster of potential interview/jobs it's second in my choices but I think my number one is either ghosting me or drank too much eggnog and is still recovering.

ND: so I've spent the last day and a half looking up videos and shit on how to answer interviews for IT positions and did you know that when they ask you to tell you about yourself they are actually wanting you to talk about your last IT job? And when they ask about a difficult customer, they just want you to say you will try to help and then when shit hits the fan, ask your supervisor? They ask a bunch of questions but you aren't supposed to literally answer them? Like when they ask what you think an IT position is, you are supposed to regurgitate the job description?

Fucking NTs are so complicated.

.....shit. I did not know any of that.

Literally spent most of yesterday watching videos on what answers interviewers are wanting. It's fucking wild.

I used to think I was just bad at interviews. Didn't even consider there was a specialized way of doing it that didn't include directly answering questions.

I've had stock answers I've been using for years that are....well, actual answers to their questions. Thanks for the tip! If I ever have another job interview again, I'll try that out
