Straight talker! Upper management written all over 'em.

a couple thoughts:

• I usually have a section called “Relevant Work” and another called “Other” where I say “Additional experience with [list my non-relevant jobs]”
• if you are taking time off from working, try to do something educational at the same time. classwork at a local university / community college is great, or do online classes or even a bunch of tutorials and/or an open-source/volunteer project. then you can say: “I always wanted to learn about (that topic) so I took some time off to really study it.” it’s most beneificial if it’s work-related, but it doesn’t have to be.
• present yourself in the best light, but do not outright lie on your resume because that might come back to bite you.

I have a cousin who never heard of Ozzy. I’m sending them 3 songs I think every civilized being should know. My first thought was:

• Iron Man
• War Pigs
• Paranoid

Then I realized they were all from the same album. I really like Bark at the Moon from his solo stuff, but that’s mostly bc the guitar work is so outstanding. I dunno… what’s your favorite Ozzy song?

The Australian Academy of Science is leading the country’s efforts to proactively recruit top US-based scientists

all this focus on “top” scientists… wish there was somewhere for us mediocre scientists to go…

People who have community’s what’s it like?

For more info about this, go to !fedigrow@lemmy.zip and look for the posts titled “Weekly thread - how is everyone doing with their communities?” In those posts, people who have taken charge of communities talk about what it’s like.

Because migrants are generally peaceful, non-violent people who just want to work hard and improve their lives.

That’s what I was gonna say. It doesn’t even have to be a religious thing. To a lot of people church/mosque/temple is a cultural thing.

“How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked.

“Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.”

History’s like that too. People took their best guesses, but nobody knew for sure.

If you read the page, you’ll discover a way to remedy that.

More (bowel) moving than War-n-Peace. More slimy than Middlemarch. After this gets removed for not being a photograph, make sure you post it in a community that will better appreciate it.

Check out youth hostels / Hostelling International. Basically they’re inexpensive dorm-like hotels mostly targetted at younger backpackers. The ones in LA and Boston are in great locations. About 12% of Americans are of German descent (cite) so ask around, you or a family friend probably have a distant relative who immigrated here at some point.

So: get a cheap plane ticket. Fly into a city with a youth hostel. Wander around for a while. Catch a Greyhound Bus to visit your distant relative in Iowa. Hang out with them for a while. Catch another Greyhound to another city with a youth hostel. Fly back. You will meet a lot of people in the hostels. You’ll meet a lot of people on the Greyhound. Look up stuff ahead of time, not just tourist stuff but concerts or clubs or sports events wherever you go to. Sure it costs money but it’s a hell of a lot more fun than a resort or a cruise or whatever. Wait, isn’t “wanderjahr” a German word? Anyway after you spend a month or two here you’ll know whether you still like us or not.

A lot of people are saying ADHD, but I think in some cases it could also be anxiety or depression.
