Entry level cna resume example

I met this guy through Instagram - he gave me a follow, we spoke for a week, met up, had a good first date. He asked me out again for the following week to which I said yes. He’s an engineer and is doing very well for himself. I did notice that he was a little prone to making grammatical errors here and there. The wrong your or their. It’s nothing too crazy but we now have a running joke that because I’m an English teacher, I’ll be brushing up his vocabulary because he’s always caught off guard by random “big words” I say that he’s never heard. Wholeheartedly, is an example of one. So as usual, we were talking, he’s telling me he’s never gotten rejected by a woman before, that he doesn’t need ego boosts and he’s got a good head on his shoulders because he’s smart, the whole package etc I take this and run with it by saying something like “Yeah, a good head but we’ve got to find out if it’s filled with anything substantial. I mean I’ve got to teach you a language you’ve been learning since you were a child hey? Hahahaha”
Safe to say he did notttt take that well. He proceeded to tell me I get too carried away with my jokes and that I’m being deliberately rude rather than nice or sweet. At first I said come onnn did I really offend you? And he replied with he doesn’t get offended but he doesn’t like rude comments. So I apologised and said I’d be more careful and stop. The rest of the conversation was a tad dry and he went to bed letting me know he’d message tomorrow about our date.
I think in hindsight maybe what I said does sound pretty mean but considering we’ve kind of joked for the last 3 weeks about my career and teaching him, I didn’t realise that joke would be an overstep. I don’t mind if that’s a deal breaker for him as everyone has different levels of what they consider banter or funny. That said, I’d hate to be in a relationship where I’m walking on eggshells and can’t be myself out of fear of what I say being taken as a personal attack or misconstrued.
I am just curious, if he does cut the chord over this, is he right to do so? Was I an absolute asshole? The one thought I had was it is so clear that I’m into him so I don’t know why he would think I was being serious or deliberately rude. I’d never want to intentionally hurt someone’s feelings, especially if I like them.

I would greatly appreciate if someone could send their resume as an example for me! Thank you in advance💗💗

Basically title. Been playing CF KB Champ since the start of the league. Used all the currency to finally get a MB. Now planning to do CoC DD Inquis to actually experience endgame like T17s and Ubers.
Is the build really as low entry as 5 link and rares? Are there any uniqus that help you out when you're first starting your journey?
Also, how can you capitalize Mageblood during leveling/early game? Can you start doing actually CoC with something like enkindled diamond flask or is it still better to do a more traditional leveling such as brands?

I (20F) have been dating my bf (24M) for about 7 months now. I’ve been home from college for the summer for 4 days. Since I’ve been back both of my parents keep making comments that are extremely annoying. I was on a walk with my dad and he was saying that I’m wasting the younger years I have dating him and he’s distracting me. That I’m young and shouldn’t worry about dating right now. My mom makes rude comments that imply i’m mean to my bf when i’m not at all. She’ll say “i bet you start most of the fights between you two” for example.
They also have it in their heads that my bf is the only person I ever spend time with. My mom will say that I turned into one of the girls who only spend time with their boyfriends. My college roommate recently got a studio apartment and my parents said “I bet the reason she got her own place was because you’re never around”. The things they’re saying are ridiculous and I’ve stopped bringing up my bf to them to avoid things like this.
I have never been a very social person and I socialize with my friends a very normal amount. I do spend a lot of time with my bf but it doesn’t take anyway from any other aspect of my life. I still get good grades, I managed to get a good job that’ll look great on my resume. I’m not sure why or where my parents got the idea that I’m with my boyfriend all the time.
My boyfriend and I get along really well and I do enjoy spending time with him often. I don’t think that’s a bad thing, I get all my responsibilities done and make time for my friends. My parents have met him before and they both think he’s really nice. I am the youngest of 4 daughters so maybe being the baby of my family makes it harder?
I’m not sure how to deal with this. Any advice on how to deal with this or why they’re being like this?

First job and career direction
Hi all, I have a bit of a predicament that I’d love if people could look at with a fresh view. So I am recently just after completing my Masters in mechanical engineering and I am now thinking about my career and different job prospects. My predicament is what route of engineering I want to go down. I did my internship in a controls and automation team in a medtech company and I really enjoyed it, however I’m unsure if the controls route is what I want to pursue. This company (that I did my internship with) is very keen for me to return however, I am also looking at an R&D role in a different medtech company. I got a great intro into plc programming during the internship but I still feel out of depth as a mechanical engineer in this field. I found some electrical hardware and software elements of controls were challenging at times during the placement. The company have told me that they will fully train me up to a stage where I’ll be able to program and commission my own machines after 2 years and have told me they want to develop me into an automation engineer and allow me to specialise in whichever area I would like. The other side of me recognises that R&D/Design/Manufacturing/PD/NPI are all more in line with traditional mech engineer roles and certainly university has equipped me with the expertise to at least have a decent foundation for these domains. Certain elements of these branches definitely appeal to me also. These particular branches seem like it would be pretty easy to shift from one to another. As in, the boundary between some of them may not be solid.. it seems like it wouldn’t be too hard to go from R&D to manufacturing in contrast to if I wanted to move from controls to something else. I’m worried that if in 2 years time I decide that controls isn’t for me, then I will have to start out at an entry level position in manufacturing/R&D etc. I’m finding it tough trying to figure out if I want my day to day to be PLC programming and commissioning or if I want to be designing/prototyping and testing!! The goal in 15-20 years is to be in a management position (rather than principal eng) and I’m not sure if I’d get more recognition or an easier pathway to this goal in a traditional domain (like manuf/R&D) in comparison to controls? One part of me is thinking to give controls a go seeing as this company is going to really train me up in the field (graduate position) and it’s an opportunity I may not get in in 2/3 years time if originally went with R&D and wanted to switch to controls. Sorry for the long rant - I’m just really struggling to decide so any advice/insights would be greatly appreciated!!!

asking for research purposes lol

I’m currently 2 weeks into a cut. Body weight is 197, 5’9. Came off of a 8 week bulk where I got up to 205.
Bulking I was eating 3400-3600 calories a day. 300 protein, 440+ carbs, 90+ fat.
Cutting I am eating 2400 calories 300 + protein 160-170 carbs 60-70 fat.
I’ve noticed quicker fatigue in the gym. Therefore this week I decided to lift in a 10-12 rep range still going to failure.
My question is, should I work out in a 4-8 rep range if I want to preserve muscle? Its harder to lift when I was bulking due to fatigue. My goal is to preserve muscle. I’ve seen so many mixed things. I’m leaning toward resuming my training of 4-8 rep range. Any thoughts here?
Second question is progressive overloading. Should I focus on this weight wise with a cut like I was bulking? For example, my incline DB press max 95 for 4-5. 90 for 6-8. 80 for 8. Incline smith machine 225 for about 4-6.
Help is much appreciated!!! Just struggling with deciding what to do or what is best. Preserving muscle.

If you read reddit’s dementia sub, many of the folk caregivers look after can have a history of aggression, a history of being refused care home rooms (abusive to other room mates), and a history of making false accusations - particularly of caregivers. For example, many caregivers get accused of stealing stuff. It’s inevitable drivers will get similarly accused.
So what is a reasonable question to ask of a caregiver ride (three way)?
We need to some “safe harbor questions”.
It seems reasonable to ask safety questions, similar to: does the dog/cat have a bite history, asked by any insurance agent!
(Disclosure I drive uber (as self-employed business person), and a care van for people living with various levels of dementia (as employee))

I get it. I lost my job in July because I stood up to a mid-level manager that was talking down to me like a child and I don’t stand for that shit. He got me fired two days later.
I’ve filled out a couple hundred applications for positions that I qualify for, don’t qualify for, am overqualified for, but only ever infrequently get an autogenerated let down. It’s been a real mental strain just trying.
A couple of months ago, I rewrote my resume and posted on LinkedIn with their formatted post about looking for a new role so my contacts would see it. A couple of former colleagues messaged me to let me know about places that were hiring, which was kind, but I absolutely didn’t qualify for the open roles (think required nursing degrees).
Then, I get a call from a former colleague from a car dealership who is working at dealership about 40 minutes away. I used to sell cars, he ran the Used Cars department. He wants to know if I’m interested in doing it again? He loved working with me and has a desk open. He set me up with an interview with his GM in less than 24 hours.
Let me be clear: I am brutally honest and straightforward with everyone. I was very convinced that I would bomb this interview because 1. I would tell them that I got fired from my last job, 2. The schedule would be tough because as my parents get older, they rely on me to take them to doctors’ appointments and surgeries, etc., and 3. I would tell him that I tend to prioritize work above everything else to the point of illness (I’ve passed out from dehydration at work before).
I got the job. My only interview in 10 months and I got the job.
If you’ve filled out countless applications and not heard from anyone in your field, if you’re down to fumes in your bank account, apply to sell cars.
There are definitely dealerships that have no respect for their staff and their time, but your schedule is your schedule and you can leave when the clock strikes “Fuck You I’m Out.” Then, there are dealerships that don’t want to see you implode because your success is their success. They will train you to do the job. You don’t need anything but a HS diploma or GED, the ability to hustle, and basic customer service skills. (They wouldn’t scoff at good personal hygiene, though.)
You’re looking at great commission (base is usually 10% plus a salary, a bigger commission without a salary for more confident sales reps), bonuses for hitting target sales, bonuses for selling certain cars, etc.
Was it my favorite job ever? No. But, it made me great money and had a level of autonomy to it that I enjoyed. I didn’t have people breathing down my neck all the time because I was capable of managing myself.
Good luck to you all out there! I hope everything works out in your favor.

Imo the mobile version is pay2win.Let me explain why. These are my views on the subject. Everyone has their own definition on whats pay2win. Here is how i think about it:
Pay2Win Definition: Paying real world currency for a clear advantage over others ingame.
Pay2Progress Definition: Paying real world currency to skip some form of grind or unlocking higher tiers/levels faster.
Mobileshop:
Beeing able to buy savecontainers (kinda harmless, pay2progress) It doesnt affect me too much whether my enemy has one or not, even though i might miss out on his red loot i can accept it.
Beeing able to buy gun packages (concerning, possible pay2win, definitely pay2progress) depending on what time and wuality of weapons are beeing sold i consider this pay2win. Is some really good weapon sold on day 1 that non paying players need 1 week to unlock? Problem. Is some midtier weapon sold 2 weeks in that most people unlocked already? Mostly harmless.
Beeing able to buy currency (could be pay2progress but in the mobile is clearly pay2win) The problem here is that weak bullets and armors are a gigantic disadvantage. Sure i can legkill people but if they can use t6ammo to onetap my head while i need 7bullets in their feet it is a gigantic disadvantage. Currently high tier bullets are extremely expensive and can be bought indirectly for real world money. A paying player can always run full t6 armors and bullets. With market restrictions similar to tarkov where only t4 and lower items are available which can be easily sustained for free it would be much less problematic since free players could run the same gear constantly.
Why it is pay2win: Both equally skilled players play 100 raids. The whale cashes in and has 100 raids full t6 armor bullets helmet .... Survives 65 raids. The free user runs mostly t4, some t5 and a deew games t6 when he killed a chad or earned a bunch of koens, but mostly t4 which he can sustain, has a survival rate of 45 raids. Result from worse gear with exact same skill level & fights taken.
The 20 raids more survived (=won) are the Pay2Win. They paid to win 20 More fights and raids. Big problem.
A limited availability would at least give free players the chance to afford the same amount of high tier geaammo per day. With limited acess to higher ammo and weapons for example only through barters or buying caps on market i could maybe accept people buying koen for cash. Currently if it is like on mobile i cant really support it.
Game is awesome it would do well without pay2win im sure of it.
TLDR: Infinite amount of better gear leads to more raids survived/fights won conpared to same player with limited money. The higher survivalrate is literally paid irl cash for more wins.

Hi all, I'm looking for some help/advice on something I really don't know how to confront. I'll try to make this short but detailed....
I (20F) started talking to this guy (24) maybe 3 months ago, we met on our university campus. He was super sweet and attentive in the first month of talking, but he couldn't really commit to plans. He still can't. For example, we'll make plans to do something (we've been making plans to get coffee for like 2/3 months now) but he just NEVER shows up, and doesn't reply to calls or texts until hours later. I told him I didn't like that, I hated being flaked on. He apologized and said he'd try do better. We last saw each other properly like 2 months ago, which is when 1) he told me he had Alexithymia and tried to explain it to me but didn't exactly go into detail, 2) he promised he would try and do better to be more consistent and not flake on me, and 3) we kissed (not significant to them, I've read) and we talked (once again) about coffee, which he said he would do, and never did.
This is when he REALLY started switching up on me. That weekend, I did a bunch of research into Alexithymia, simply to try and understand more about it, and sent him 3 simple surface-level questions I wanted him to answer because I wanted to understand it from his perspective. He never did. We made plans for the week after, and he bailed every day that week, once again not replying to texts asking where he was until hours later, always with an excuse, which I found hard to believe, but accepted anyway because I knew he had a busy schedule. It's not the fact that he's always busy that deeply bothers me, it's the fact that he neglects to inform me and I end up moving my schedule for something that never happens, which also makes me think he doesn't care enough, but then again, it may just be neurotypical thinking and the way we prioritise plans differ. I've gotten mad/sad/calmed down and tried to explain this frustration with regards to inconsistency and how difficult it becomes to try and understand how his brain works countless times. I've written notes, I've typed paragraphs, sent short texts, voice notes, made playlists, tried to speak about it face-to-face for months now, to no avail. I've tried to make it sound less emotional because he's explained to me that he finds those difficult to understand, but how do I know if he gets it if he never gives me the feedback I'd need to adjust how I communicated where needed so we can understand each other? It feels like he just ignores/avoids it or he's lost interest, or he doesn't know how to verbalise it, but I don't know because we are NEVER able to talk about it. I'm simply tired of trying, especially because I have the feeling I'm being ghosted anyway because my efforts have come off as needy or too emotional and overwhelming to him, but on the other hand, he has said before that in his previous relationships, his partners wouldn't exactly try to understand where he was coming from and brush his actions off as ''uncaring'', whereas he's explained to me that he ''does care, just differently'' (his words). It's just disheartening when I'm unsure of the flaws in my communication and he refuses to try (I feel like).
(That ended up WAAAAYYYY longer than I thought it would). But what do I do? Do I just leave it?(I know he won't contact me again if I just stop texting him). Is there even any way to salvage this?

Very often less is indeed more.
In the opening scene of Dune: Messiah conspirators convene to plot against MuadDib. It marked the first time Herbert brought out a Spacing Guild steersman in the series. Holding him out for the course of the original novel subtly infused a reader with a flair imposing a figure of ominous presence, nebulous shape and unbounded cunningness.
Instead, we got quite the opposite. It is as if Herbert deliberately tugged all antagonists but one one level down. His honesty adds a zest in that he admits it by projecting his intent onto the thoughts of Scytale, a Tleilaxu mentat, who Herbert seemingly made his talking head.

Scytale smiled, passing a benign gaze over his companions. They were as he’d been led to expect. The old Reverend Mother wielded her emotions like a scythe. Irulan had been well trained for a task at which she had failed, a flawed Bene Gesserit creation.

Reverend Mother throwing a tantrum by "wielding her emotions like a scythe"?
So much for Irulan, whose input to the decision-making was roughly one per cent, however, at one point in the meeting, Reverend Mother resorted to no less than calling Jessica "a bitch". That's a loss of style and bad optics, especially if the one is at the head of a secret centuries-old influential society, a mental school shaping the landscape of the Universe. What about "the Bene Gesserit way"? The problem is that such a veneer hardly agrees with the aura we were led to believe in "Dune".
Do you imagine the actress who played Gaius Helen Mohiam in Lynch's movie fitting the impression of a laywoman shouting "a bitch!"?
Likewise, the supposedly critical leader of the Spacing Guild was relegated to the backstage and ridicule ("The pontificating fool was their major weakness"). Why did you make him a pontificating fool, in the first place? Herbert gave out his name, Edric. "Edric" alludes to the Nordic legends but does not belong in the Dune Universe. To add insult to injury, "Edric was no more (and no less) than the magician’s hand: he might conceal and distract". Not much.
So far, Lynch was the first and, until the TV miniseries, the only one who added something new to the cinematography of Dune: he showed us the Navigators, something that even Herbert did not, in a way that it felt as a natural extension of the novel.
The bizarre rugged creature with a beak-like hole instead of a mouth, swimming inside a cask, capable of "seeing plans within plans", and the secluded members of its suite emanating the stink of a dead body, imposing weird associations on a viewer – all for nothing? It doesn't connote foolishness.
Herbert was a productive author with an array of brilliant ideas. However, a good writer he was not. He wasn't a master of a word and composition, which his writing betrays. He didn't possess the understanding, often innate, of the sound of words put together. It, sometimes, made his text bulky, entrapped in parasite words, such as "data", and "well", overabundant in certain places, and sunk in unnecessary details. Some constructions reek of a crude and chaotic approach.
Chapter One of Dune: Messiah is a glaring example of this. Twelve years had passed since the Arrakis Revolt before the actors decided on action. Why wait for so long? Even if we consider the seriousness of the premise of the twelve years respite, their remarks would equally fit in the context of one year after the Revolt or zero years.
The scene purports to show us their scheming against Paul as much as against one another. Yet, the way it was executed made their appearance look cartoonish and their characters with no rhyme or reason. Making some characters stand out (Scytale) at the expense of others is disingenuous.
The phrase "Edric took this moment to pop a melange pill into his mouth" is a caricature. The parts
"Idaho’s dead,” Irulan said. “Paul has mourned the loss often in my
presence. He saw Idaho killed by my father’s Sardaukar.”
and
" the spice heightened a Steersman’s prescience, gave him the power to guide a Guild heighliner across space at translight speeds. With spice awareness, he found that line of the ship’s future which avoided peril"
are superfluous because we've already been informed by reading the preceding book.
I'd take a step further and claim that this chapter is superfluous. It's out of place because it nullifies the intrigue. Just like "Dune" started in Paul's quarters in the Caladan Palace, this part should've taken place in Paul's quarters in the Arrakeen Palace. The meeting of the co-conspirators should've never been included. The actions and words of those involved should've gradually unveiled their motives and personas.
And if Herbert couldn't do without him he should've shrouded the physical attributes of the Steersman in mystery, replacing him with a special representative or councillor, similar to how he did this in "Dune", revealing him at the end of Messiah for a length of a glimpse.
These drawbacks disrupt the integrity of the story and are disappointing.

Hello Reddit Community,
I hope this message finds you all well. I am reaching out today with a bit of a plea for guidance and advice as I navigate the path into the clinical research domain.
A little about myself: I hold an undergraduate degree in Bachelor of Pharmacy, followed by a specialization in MBA, and currently, I'm pursuing my Master's in Clinical Research at UCSD. As an international student, the opportunity to gain experience in the field was one of the primary reasons for my academic pursuits here.
I've been actively seeking entry-level positions, particularly aiming for roles as a Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) or an entry-level Clinical Research Associate (CRA). While I've managed to secure a few interviews, unfortunately, I haven't been able to translate them into tangible progress or job offers. Should I focus more on assistant positions? This journey has been a bit tougher than anticipated, and I'm reaching out to the Reddit community in the hopes of garnering some valuable advice and insights. If anyone has navigated similar paths or has expertise in the clinical research field, I would greatly appreciate any guidance you can offer.
Whether it's tips on networking, refining my resume and cover letters, or insights into the current job market dynamics, I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and for any assistance you can provide.

A few weeks ago, someone posted a link to one of Don’s rants and I went through and commented on each of the points. I can't find that post, but I had copied it over here: https://www.reddit.com/perpetualeducation/comments/1c7k9re/donthedeveloper_on_a_rant_about_how_aspiring/
We had a chat about it. Here’s the video/podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHmqZkC3LqU&lc
Don titled it: There's a MASSIVE Skill Gap Among New Developers
I'll attempt to write a bit about that - (even though we went over many other topics - and I'm having a hard time grouping them)
It’s easy to simplify this into “the market” or “the boot camp” or “the tech stack” or "what's fair" or "the resume" - but I think people are missing the various multidimensional aspects at play. Is it:
Is it all of those things - and more? (Yes). And it's "the student" too." We're all different (cue reading rainbow moment). But it's true. Some of us are slower. Some of us are faster but miss the details. Some of us have a background that alignes neatly with tech. Some of us already know what job we want and why - and other people just want to make a good bet on a stable career. No matter what zone you're in, we still have to face the music - and deal with (trigger alert) - the truth.
The market is real. Companies aren't aggressively hireing random barely capable developers right now (like they have in the past). They're scared and holding on to their money. They also kinda realized they were spending more money on middle management and probably developers too - and are going to need some time to figure out how to make profitable businesses (or how to keep getting more VC funding to burn through).
But if there's a huge gap between your skills/experience and what it takes to do the job you're applying for, none of the other factors matter.
Many people choose a coding boot camp based on superficial factors like the price, the timeline, the website design, and the sales pitch. They often don't consider other important aspects because they simply don't know better. This isn’t unlike any other product or service or school.
Some people pick out a boot camp and learn a bunch of awesome stuff and they go out there and start a new career and for some reason, they don’t come back to Reddit to tell us about it. There are some legit colleges and boot camps and other alternative learning paths out there - that are really great. It's just a fact.
If you read the bootcamp marketing, paid your tuition, went through the steps they lined out, and came out the other end unable to get that job they promised you, well - that’s awkward. Maybe for you, it’s that simple. If you feel like you got a raw deal, I’m sorry. There are some businesses that should be ashamed of themselves - but they won't be. All you can do is warn other people. That’s over now. We can only work with the present.
For people who really want to work in this industry - they'll keep moving forward: at the end of the day, this is the playing field. So, if you want to get off the bench, we’re going to have to design a path to that – and you might need to rethink some of your assumptions.
It could certainly be said that new developers are now expected to know about–and have experience with–a lot more things.
Are the expectations that someone brand new to development is going to be able to get a job unreasonable? Well, does it matter what someone’s opinion about that is? You either want the job - or you don’t. And you need to know how to do the job, or no one will hire you. Do you need to know everything on this huge list to get an entry level position https://roadmap.sh/javascript ? (no) (in fact - close that - and don’t ever look at it again)
When I started (at the age of ~30) (in ~2011), you needed to know HTML, CSS, (Probably some PhotoShop to get your assets), maybe a little PHP (and likely HTTP and more about URLs and request types and forms), FTP and DNS to get your site hosted, and maybe some JavaScript. You might have used jQuery to help out or Knockout.js. And you had to know how to hook up a database and MySQL and probably a CMS or some sort. And maybe your code was a mess or maybe it adhered to some common patterns. But that was life. Not everyone needed to know all those things. Some people would focus more on getting the mockup into the HTML and CSS. Other people might focus on the server and the PHP or Perl or Java. There were all sorts of jobs and some of them were done by people with a formal education in Computer Science studies and other people just figured it out as needed. There was a lot of work to be done. Lots of custom stuff to build and maintain. And it was just normal to learn more incrementally as the years went by. You could totally get a job knowing just HTML and CSS (and you still can BTW). There was still an infinite amount of things you could know. But it seemed to ramp up naturally because we were closer to the grain of The Web.
So, what do people learn now? (Generally) They rush through some HTML and CSS really quick (which actually teaches them more bad habits than good). They rarely learn about DNS or FTP because a tutorial showed them how to type a few random things into a terminal to have their site on a free service and they don’t buy a domain name because there’s a free subdomain. Apparently paying for anything is for suckers and companies that don't give you things for free are evil capitalistic pigs who should be shut down. New devs don’t know much about servers because their text editor is actually running an advanced web application behind the scenes that starts a virtual server and runs all sorts of other things they don’t understand outside of that context - like connecting to version control, opening a terminal pane, SSH, code completion and typeahead, autoimport completion, AI suggestions and other additional layers like typescript and many other linters to tell them where all their errors are. If they couldn't use VSCode - they might be dead in the water. It can feel like you’re just a bag of meat being yelled at by VSCode as you try and solve the errors and remove all the red lines. And we do all of these - to put the training wheels in place.
And I’m not saying that a LAMP stack doesn’t have it’s own level of black-box and mysteries with how Apache handles your HTTP requests and MySQL starts up it’s own server - but we have to be comfortable with some level of abstraction or we’d be writing all ones and zeros at the machine code level.
So, the new developer is manning this huge stack of tools unknowingly, but they do get a lot of benefits. We can spin up a pretty complex web application with a front-end to make requests, a server to talk to a database and other third-party systems and respond back to the client/front-end, and an auth layer to make sure people are properly signing in and only seeing what they need to see. There are abstractions for HTML and CSS and JS that put that template logic and controller logic into a neat little component file (which is great) and that component file is properly registered based on file name conventions and everything gets set up in this larger system of conventions that all happen behind the scenes in the framework architecture. So, as a new developer - you can really ride the framework and know hardly anything about how it works - as long as you know the language to speak to this layer of the abstraction (the API).
These aren't just arbitrary add-ons that people made to complicate things. They solve real-world problems. The new dev won't really understand what they are - but I'm not saying we should just get rid of them. They allow us to move faster and to build interfaces and business logic without having to write tons of behind the scenes repeated structural code by hand. And with those training wheels, we have more time on our hands. We can also add in the chance to further define our programs with safety measures and plan automated testing routines, and built-in documentation of our code base. We can keep adding layers and layers or pull in more and more third-party tools. It’s pretty amazing. But what people end up learning is how to maintain that configuration - and there’s only so much time - and so, they end up learning 10% of all the things you used to need/want to know. And some jobs have a path for that. But there's likely going to be a long-term cost for you.
Arguably - it doesn’t matter how much “code” you know - and making things is what matters. And that’s true. That’s what matters to the business that pays you. And to the school that wants you to feel good about your progress. But I think you should protect your learning journey. It’s for you. It’s going to be what you carry on throughout the years and it’s a seed.
Getting proficient with a popular tech stack - when the market is booming proved to be a great decision for boot camps and their students. And I'd bet that the majority of people mean well.
But when it's not booming, students are in it for the wrong reasons, schools have tightened up and moved online, the market has plenty of devs who already have 5+ years working with that framework/stack -- then all of the sudden - the surface-level fake-it-till-you-make-it path (as much as I respect that) doesn't work as well. You're going to have to put in some more energy.
When it's obvious that you can't build an HTML page with semantic markup, that's accessible, and has a universally pleasurable experience, and you can't write CSS without a UI framework or do anything custom, it's obvious. You should be aware of that gap. When you've never owned a domain name or setup a deployment pipeline, you should be aware of that gap. When your personal website looks like your boot camp gave it to you, you should be aware of how that looks. When you can't take a server-side scripting language like Python or Go or PHP and build out a little personal website framework - you should be aware of that gap. When you can't plan a project and don't have experience with diagrams and explaining things, you need to be aware of that gap. When you've never written about your process or created any case-studies to explain your projects, you should be aware of that gap. When you're only proof of work is the class assignments, you should be aware of that gap. When your github history goes dead after the last day of class, you should be aware that we'll see that. When you claim to no nothing about visual design and that's for someone else on the team - you should be aware of that gap. If you refuse to turn on your camera and just want to be left alone, you should be aware of that huge gap. If you can't build a little prototype app without React, they you probably don't JavaScript, and you should be aware of that gap. And there will ALWAYS be a gap. There's always more to learn. So - it's an important skill to know what to learn and why - and when. You can't learn everything. And if you're having a hard time finding work right now, then get clear on your goal. Stop applying for general "Software engineer" jobs you aren't ready for. Narrow your scope. Figure out a job that you think you can do confidently. Get clear on how big your gap is and what you need to learn to get centered and confident with your toolset. Ideally, it's fun. Try and ignore all the doom and gloom and focus on your own personal goal.
It's not just the market. Too many people are applying for jobs they aren't anywhere near qualified to do. And it probably doesn't feel good. But luckily - you can learn the things and get back on track.

How are the job openings in concord Lilly? Having a certificate is it easy to get job as a entry level in QC ? How about the growth as a technician in the biotech/ Pharma ? Please advice

Hi all,
As the title states, I have been unemployed since October. I have started applying on and off since January but I am not getting much luck.
I have applied to e-commerce jobs, product/project management, and some analytics jobs as well (trying to get out of analytics). I did get few interviews that didn't lead to offers( for positions lower than my experience and director level positions as well). Is it my resume? If so, how can I improve it?
DISCLAIMER: this is NOT a roast my resume post, I would like to get constructive criticism that would actually help me improve. If you have a snarky comment, you can keep it to yourself. Applying to jobs is hard in on itself.

I’m 26F looking to begin paving a career path for myself that will allow room for professional growth in the future. I attended college for 6 years studying nursing, biology, business administration, and cyber security; however, I did not end up obtaining a degree for any of these. I know finishing my degree would probably be ideal, but unfortunately that’s not something I can afford to do in my current position. Unfortunately I also suffer from chronic nerve pain, which means a lot of warehouse/trade jobs aren’t a good fit for me. So, I’m in search of potential career paths that wouldn’t require a degree, allow room for growth, and doesn’t require physical labor. I’ve been at my retail medical cannabis job for over 2 years now & im feeling pretty stuck, so I’m open to any suggestions/advice y’all may have to give.

I (22) am a recent college graduate with a degree in architecture. I’m planning on going back to get my masters (because it makes licensure easier and that’s ultimately my goal). But in the meantime, I’ve been trying to find a summer job. No one and I mean no one is hiring entry level architectural interns. I don’t have the opportunity to move to where the jobs are because I’m already signed into a lease to continue my masters.
I’ve applied to all 20 of the firms in my city and received 3 rejections. Should I: 1) keep trying to get a job in architecture 2) go into the restaurant industry to get a job as a server ( 3) try and reach out to my old employer as an asbestos project monitor (low pay for what it’s worth, sometimes unsafe) since it’s semi related to architecture 4) some solution I haven’t thought of
The motivator behind all of these is that I need money to pay my loans and my lease. But it feels like my degree is worthless since I can’t even get my foot in the door.

Hello everyone! I (44F) have been dating H (38M) for around 9 months now. Even before we started dating, I was aware he had a daughter E (14F) who he cared deeply for, and I was aware they would be a package deal. I also knew there was a strained relationship between E, H, and E’s mother, and unspecified terrible experiences with E’s mother’s past boyfriends. This led me to the understanding that H may be protective of E.
I did not meet E until about 3 months ago. The meeting did not go poorly, however it was clear her and I were just very different people and would not be able to be friends. With that being said, we remain civil, and she is a very polite, pretty, smart, cunning young lady who is well liked by her friends and family.
H did not allow me to his house or to meet E for the first 6 months of our relationship. This did cause strain in our relationship as I felt H was implying I was untrustworthy, however as someone who is child free by choice, I came to terms with the fact that I may never understand the parental instinct to protect one’s child.
When I finally did meet E, she was quiet and polite. The car ride was a bit awkward, but H kept her talking about things she liked, though I could tell E wasn’t fully in the conversation as I could occasionally hear her fake nails as she typed on her phone. We went to a barbecue at one of H’s close friend’s homes, and we were all admittedly a bit distracted, so E did not spend much time with us. One of the first things I noticed was their level of physical affection; before E ran off with the other teens at the barbecue, she gave H a hug. Not a cute hug, but a long, lingering hug in which she whispered something to him and he whispered back and kissed her forehead. When I asked H about this he said not to worry, that E was just nervous, but I still found it weird. I tried to brush that off, especially because she was also very physically affectionate with other people that were considered family or close friends. E hugged and cheek kissed all of the people introduced to me as important in H’s life.
However, as I started coming over to their home, I noticed a bit more strange physical affection; more hugging and kissing, cuddling, play fighting, and E has a habit of liking her back scratched and hair played with, which H obliges no questions asked. I even caught H as he held E in his lap once when she was crying about a personal matter that neither of them wanted to tell me about.
This came to a head somewhat recently when I attempted to initiate intimacy at H’s home and he declined. Frankly I was surprised; our intimate life has been amazing, and he’d never said no to me before. H explained that E was in her bedroom directly next to us, the shared wall being the one his bed was up against, and E also frequently laid in his bed, and it just made him uneasy. H suggested a lounger on the far wall of the room if I was able to stay quiet, but I set a boundary and told him no. He then flat out declined and rescinded any sort of compromise. This triggered a huge argument in which I brought up how uncomfortable I was with the physical affection with E. After I gave him specific examples, he invalidated my feelings. He literally stared at me like I had three heads before laughing and telling me I was crazy for thinking that. This caused me to go home, not speaking to him until the next day. When I did come over to his house again, I only went over under the assumption that he had changed his mind, however I learned that he stood strong on this point. This remained an issue over the coming months.
A few days ago, when I went over to his house, E was in her room and H and I practically had the house to ourselves. I took a shower, which took me about 20 minutes. When I walked back into H’s bedroom, I was surprised to find E had swooped in in those 20 minutes and was in his bed, lying perpendicular to H with her head on his stomach. Neither of them even flinched when I walked in, they just stayed staring at their respective phones.
Admittedly, I lost it. I berated H about his strange relationship with E, and I set the boundary of her not being allowed in our bed. He quickly shut that down, but I persisted. After some back and forth on the matter I eventually I turned to E to berate her about her unwillingness to accept me and her attempt to gate keep H, then telling her that as long as I was around she needed to act appropriate with H. H kicked me out as soon as I turned my attention to E. We haven’t talked save for a text message telling me he needed time to think, and a message today asking when we could get together to talk.
We will be having our conversation either tonight or tomorrow night, and I would love some outside opinions from complete strangers.
So, AITAH for trying to ban my boyfriend’s teenaged daughter from our bed after a pattern of inappropriate behavior?
