I've seen fascinating bidding resumes from colleagues who obviously ensure the content is priority but are also clearly talented design-wise, and I found them refreshing and pleasantly surprising amid a stack of static, cookie-cutter resumes. Regardless of the cone/speciality, how would you feel if you received a "graphical" bidding resume?

The moment a lot of you have been waiting for is here!
A couple of notes before you read (or after because I would just jump into the list right away too)

1. Direct quotes from Ali herself are in italics.
2. I tried my best to keep everything in timeline order. Some people like The Come Back Kid I placed in the order where they reconnected/talked about on the pod. But I did my best to note this.
3. All this information came from the FMH podcast, the Patreon, the original FMH blog, TikTok and other podcast that feature FMH/Ali. I also crossed reference information with this sub. I got most of this done with the help of the Patreon and listening to 1.75x speed but I lost accessed to the Patreon because my subscription ended.
4. I'm open to edits! Things around the matchmaker era confused me and if anything is incorrect or if I'm missing someone, please let me know! I will note where corrections are made.
5. Some people don't have anything simply because only a name was said or I couldn't find any details about the person/date
6. And of course, please be respectful of all the sub rules!

Recently sober, Ali said she felt like they had several inside jokes before they met in person, ate pizza on her way to their first date, second date was getting coffee and going to the museum, they cooked dinner together for their third date at Ali’s apartment and they watched 90 Day Fiancé (he didn’t like it), he Googled how to clean a red wine stain when it spilled on her countertop, he asked if she wanted to have sex and she turned it down, the next day/the day before a 7am flight Ali booty called him and they had sex, she was drunk and said the sex wasn’t good/they stopped mid way, helped Ali pack for her flight, Ali said he’s at a crossroad and he doesn’t seem like a long term fit, Erica found a condom on the ground while cat sitting, Ali said she didn’t regret hooking up with him but wishes she hadn’t done it, MOO
Sales Cycle
30 seconds in and Ali said he was very boring, only really talked about his job, stared at Ali’s boobs, “might be a MOO”, texted her ‘merry christmas’

2024

Pie Guy/Dr. Laundry
Matched on The League, 34 years old, requested a nickname change from Pie Guy to Dr. Laundry, he had to cancel their second date because he got hit by a car, went on two dates, Ali sent him a pic of his subway stop saying something along the lines of “the stop isn’t looking as cute today” and turns out someone he dated with in that photo, were supposed to go on a third date the night she got back from a bachelorette party but he didn't answer her text when she said she landed, the next day he asked her how her trip was not acknowledging her previous text at all, Ali expressed her disappointment and he replied that he was tired last night, she said she would've been understanding if he said something then ghosted her
Andddd I stopped listening to the podcast around the Dr. Pie Laundry Guy but have stayed up to date with everything via this sub.
I have a huge interest in dating culture, human behavior and data similar to Ali and this little project of mine was really interesting once I got the framework of this list. I started this list once I found this sub in December 2023 and started re listening to the Patreon while working out (and lost 10 lbs ayeee) and writing down information in my notes app. I did my best to keep this list unbiased and just give facts and information that was said.
My own thoughts after making this list is that I'm very sad for Ali. I didn't realize the extent of her dating history. I think about my own dating history or even my friends who are in their 30's and dating and Ali's dating lore runs so deep. Is Ali unlucky with love? Did she pass on someone that could have been great for her? How has she had so many dates with little success in a long term partner or even going beyond 6-8 dates? Or is Skyline the person she has been waiting for? What's the pattern with all this dates/men? So many questions.
I truly do hope Ali finds her guy because I believe theres someone for everyone. Until then, I'll be hopping into this sub (cause y'all are too funny and give the best advice) and waiting for Ali to find Mr. Height.
Enjoy and I look forward to everyone thoughts! I'll keep my eye out for any edits that need to be made.

I've been working on creating a synthetic dataset, but am having trouble with the prompt creation. I can ensure Llama-3-8B will follow my format numbering scheme in OpenWebUI by editing the beginning of the response message and then generating, but I'm having trouble recreating this using the api. If you look at my code you can see I tried to use the template given in the modelfile to include the beginning of the response in my prompt, but this has not worked. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong/if there is a better way to achieve controlling what the response starts with using the ollama api?
This is the template from the modelfile:
TEMPLATE "{{ if .System }}system
{{ .System }}{{ end }}{{ if .Prompt }}user
{{ .Prompt }}{{ end }}assistant
{{ .Response }}"

import ollama import os import time prompts_generate = 128000 # Calculate number of loops required to generate the prompts num_loops = int(prompts_generate / 100) # Parameters for the model model_name = "llama3:8b-instruct-q8_0" instruction = "Write out a list of 100 prompts that can be used for fine tuning a language model. Vary the content and structure of each prompt to ensure thorough testing. {{ .Prompt }}{{ end }}Sure:\n1." options = { "num_ctx": 2048, "repeat_last_n": 64, "repeat_penalty": 1.1, "temperature": 0.8, "tfs_z": 1, "top_k": 40, "top_p": 0.9, "num_predict": -1 # Generate until the model stops } # Output directory output_dir = "Data" os.makedirs(output_dir, exist_ok=True) # Check existing files in the directory to determine where to resume existing_files = sorted([f for f in os.listdir(output_dir) if f.startswith("prompt-") and f.endswith(".txt")]) if existing_files: last_file = existing_files[-1] start_num = int(last_file.split('-')[1].split('.')[0]) else: start_num = 0 # Start time start_time = time.time() i = start_num // 100 + 1 while i <= num_loops: response = ollama.generate( model=model_name, prompt=instruction, options=options, stream=False, ) reply = response['response'] print ("Instruction: ", instruction) print("Reply: ", reply) # Save the response to a file with loop number in the name file_name = os.path.join(output_dir, f"prompt-{i * 100}.txt") with open(file_name, "w") as file: file.write(reply) # Read the content of the file and remove empty lines with open(file_name, "r") as file: lines = file.readlines() lines = [line.strip() for line in lines if line.strip()] # Rewrite the cleaned content back to the file with open(file_name, "w") as file: file.write('\n'.join(lines)) # Check if the file has 100 prompts if lines and lines[-1].startswith("100."): i += 1 # Move to the next file if the current file is valid else: os.remove(file_name) # Delete the invalid file and retry # End time end_time = time.time() # Calculate and print the total time taken total_time = end_time - start_time print(f"Generated {prompts_generate} prompts and saved them in the '{output_dir}' directory.") print(f"Total time taken: {total_time:.2f} seconds.") 

This is more of a splurge than anything but I just did an audition that I feel I did well on today for an agency near my city. While I feel confident in my performance I am not going to be mad if they skip over me but I hope they will give me a chance. One of the things I really need to work on is a better resume are there any templates that you guys can share that I can use format wise.

Hello, everyone!
I finally have one, possibly two job offers. 🎉🎉 Here are some tips that appear to have helped me:
NYU professor Hilke Shellmann said that applicant tracking systems (ATS) that scan resumes often automatically reject candidates who have more than a 6 month gap in employment. [1]
My personal solution to this has been to work on a startup idea while I'm applying to jobs. Even though my startup venture didn't prove to be profitable it still enabled me to learn more skills and to add the work experience to my resume. You don't need an LLC structure or a website. Just pursue a startup venture idea related to the job you would like to have.
I started using AI to generate my cover letters. 1.) Copy paste job description into ChatGPT. 2.) Copy paste your resume into ChatGPT. Be sure not to copy paste over your name, phone number, or email. 3.) Ask ChatGPT to write a cover letter based on the resume and job description you provided it with. 4.) Optional - rewrite the first few sentences yourself to make it much harder to detect that the cover letter was written mostly by AI.
Professor Hilke Shellmann also confirmed what many of you here have said - that to get a job in this market applicants have to submit hundreds, often thousands of applications. [1]
Stop reading job descriptions! That's right, one of my keys to success was that I stopped reading the job description for 90% of the jobs I applied for. If the job title was one I would like to do and if it was in the location I would like to work, then I applied. This allowed me to apply to way more jobs. It's all a numbers game!
For the other 10% of jobs I applied to I spent some care reading the description and reaching out to decision makers in the company. LinkedIn is great for finding names of managers and CEOs. NeverBounce is great for guessing what their email address might be. [2]
Make a simple 1-column resume using the resume templates from JobScan. [3] I started with one of their templates before I made my own in Google Docs.
Answer all of the unknown calls to your cell phone, even if you suspect it s a scam caller. I missed many calls from recruiters because I assumed it would just be a scam caller on the other line.
Whenever you complete a project for an interview add that to your portfolio and resume. The more projects you do for interviews, the more you will have to show to the next company you interview with. Failure snowballs into success.
Be annoyingly persistent. A recruiter ghosts you? Email them every day for a week. Often they are overworked and your application slipped through the cracks.
Only apply to jobs posted in the past 24 hours. Positions that were posted a few weeks ago likely have already sent an offer to someone.
Try weird, unusual approaches. Some CEOs have hired people who stood at city intersections holding signs that said "Hire me!" The really creative candidates had QR codes to their LinkedIn.
Apply for job titles you never have applied to before. ChatGPT helped me brainstorm different job titles to search for based on my resume.
Interview for every job as though it is the most ideal job for you. Do not give the recruiters any reasons to reject you. Location sucks? By George, you love the location!
Alright, y'all, best of luck! Please share any other tips you might have. We will all prevail with enough persistence. 😎

This is my first post here so I'll try to make as short-winded as possible. For some context I am 23F and am no stranger to working in casinos and bars (cocktail waitress, and bartender). I live in a largely tourist attracted area, where if you don't have a tip job it is almost impossible to make a living and the casinos here are Poppin. I live on my own and my family is pretty far away, hence I need to make sure I'm able to support myself.
I met my boyfriend 24M last summer in July, I think we go great together. When I met him I was bartending at the casinos, he knew this was the line of work I was in he would even come sit at my bar. I changed up my career path a little bit when I applied to bartend at a resort and got accepted to be a receptionist in a different department instead, I took it even though I knew it wasn't it wasn't a good fit for me. I also work a dispensary once a week so I can pay my bills, currently working six days a week and I have no time or money for myself.
Long story short Im so miserable at the desk job, toxic work environment and bored out of my mf mind, I feel stuck and I feel that I'm at a dead end job that I'm not passionate about. My self esteem is dropping, A LOT. I got a call for a job I applied for a few months back at a nightclub in the casinos. I was under the impression it was for bartending, upon arrival I quickly understood it was for bottle service. If you've ever seen bottle service girls you have an idea about the outfit, high rise bikini like bottoms and a cute top with some tights, very cute and not much different then what I wore as a cocktail waitress. I was excited about it, those girls make bank $$! It will be two nights a week, no biggie right.. wrong.
My boyfriend 24M said he will leave me if I take the job doing bottle service. His words "I thought you were going a different direction, I don't like you working in the casinos and If I knew you would be a bottle service girl when I met you I don't think we would have dated. I will not date a bottle service girl." I think his concerns are a mix of me working late two nights a week, the outfit, and the threat of drunk men trying to hit on me. But I am there to work, and I'm no stranger to the nightlife environment.
I got the email yesterday saying I got the job. I feel sick to my stomach I love this man but I want/need this job for my own sanity and so I can have better income. I will also be leaving the desk job and working more hours at the dispensary which will still allow me to have a normal 2 days off instead of 1. We don't live together and I need to be able to make my rent. I'm currently stuck in a cycle of borrowing money from my mom and paying her back just to make my bills. As of today I have 13$ in my bank account which is causing constant anxiety and depression. I feel like a shell of who I used to be.
I can't shake the feeling of not knowing what to do, and I think I need some outside opinions. He knew i was an outgoing fun girl when he met me, and I don't want to have to change to make him comfortable. I sat down with him and addressed his concerns, hasn't gotten us anywhere. So... Am I the asshole..

I pulled this from LinkedIn; I didn't write it, but it's good advice for designers who are sending out their work and applying for jobs every day.

I’ve reviewed nearly 600 portfolios over the past three days. Most of them I close within 3 seconds. Here’s some general advice for designers out there applying to jobs:
The work above all else Your portfolio is meant to showcase your work. Anything that isn’t in support of that is just noise. Make it easy for people to find and view your work as quickly as possible. I’d rather browse your work on a squarespace template or behance than have to spend any time figuring out how to use your site.
Fewer projects A few really great projects might get you a phone call. Every significantly weaker project you add brings doubt to the overall quality of your work.
Say less, show more While I appreciate process as much as the next designer, I don’t have a lot of time and I need to see the work. I don’t want to scroll past 3 pages of charts and photos of sticky note covered white boards just to see the first design. Save the deeper process talk for in person portfolio reviews.
Link to your portfolioDon’t send me to linktree et al. If your portfolio has a password, don’t forget to include it. Don’t write that your portfolio is on your resume. If you don’t have time to type or paste a link into the application I don’t have time to review it. And lastly, make sure HTTPS is working.
Don't use Figma prototypes Including this since so many people are doing it... This is fine for in person interviews in a presentation style, but I’ve yet to be linked to a Figma prototype portfolio that wasn’t a terrible experience.

I've been in a position to hire for many roles at several companies throughout my career and I've never been in a position where time was in abundance. Most of the time we're hiring because the team has too much work. Every minute spent reviewing portfolios is a minute not spent on the work. Keep that time-strapped hiring manager in mind when creating your portfolio. You've got a few seconds to grab their attention and if you pull that off, you get another minute or two at best. Make the most of it.

I graduated law school in 2020. However, I struggled with the bar exam a few times, and did not pass until this go around. I have a few questions:

1. How do I put that I passed the exam but am pending admission on my resume? I was approved via C+F, just need to be sworn in.
   
2. I took some time off work to focus on studying, and so after 2021, I was working construction for a family friend while studying; should I put that on my resume? Or omit it and then use my cover letter to explain the gap?
   
3. If anyone has any good resume templates or examples, I would appreciate sending them to my DM.
   

Thank you!

Just for a bit of context, I originally wrote this story for Odd_directions which is a fiction subreddit. We're doing an event over there called Monster May where we write stories about giant monsters. I thought it would be fun to try writing one in a kind of analog/found footage transcript style. This story took me about a week to write. You can consider this to be more experimental on my part because I want to continue this style except with a longer narrative as opposed to this one-off story here.
Anyway, let me know what you think of it and I hope you enjoy it.
On May 22, 2008, a wrecked Honda Accord was found on the Alaskan-Canadian border at approximately 5:30 AM. According to the witness who reported this to the authorities, it seemingly appeared out of nowhere, somehow ending up on its roof in the middle of the road. No driver or passengers were present in the vehicle. The only thing found of note was a video camera, the footage of which revolves around a family of four.
Kent Morris: Owner of the vehicle as indicated by the certificates found in the dashboard. Age: 38
Charlene Morris: Wife to Kent and mother to their children. Age: 36
Lena Morris: Daughter. Estimated Age: 7-8
Deb Morris: son, Estimated Age: 1-2
The following is a transcript of the footage.
It begins with the camera turning on with Lena smiling into it.
Lena: I think I got it working!
Kent: How can you tell?
Lena: Um, the red light is on.
Charlene: Lena, turn that thing off! That’s supposed to be for your cousin’s wedding.
Lena: But I’m bored!
Kent: Alright, we’ll tell you what. You can turn it back on when we get near your aunt and uncle’s town. Okay?
Lena: Okay.
The footage ceases and resumes several hours later. A sign reading “Welcome to Silverwright. Come stay for a while” is shown. Deb is then heard crying which is recorded.
Lena: Mom, Deb won't stop crying!
Charlene: Aw, it's probably just his toothaches.
Some funny faces by her and Kent in the rearview mirror help calm Deb down. Now, he laughs and smiles. The next 30 minutes of footage consists of the surrounding forest area and local businesses.
Kent: Hey, I'm getting hungry. Who wants to grab a bite?
Charlene: I could eat.
Lena: Me too! I'm starving!
Kent: Alright, now the question is where can we stop?
Charlene: Margaret was telling me about a new place that opened up in this town a week ago. I think it was called Betsy's.
Kent: What kind of food does it have?
Charlene: Meat and seafood.
Kent: Sure, that should work. Did Margaret tell you where in town it is?
Charlene: No, sorry.
Kent: No big deal, we'll just keep an eye out for it.
The Morris family does come across the restaurant. The building has a cabin-like exterior with a sign showing a crab holding a fish with Betsy's name over it in green neon lettering. They park and exit their vehicle. Lena films the surrounding area. The sound of buttons on the camera being pressed can be heard.
Presumably, this is her trying to figure out more features about it. Lena activates the zoom function. Upon doing so, some figures can be seen moving amongst trees in the distance. The shadowing makes it difficult to discern, but there appear to be at least three or four, wearing hooded black robes.
Kent: Lena, come on!
The camera zooms out and Lena follows her family into the establishment. The inside is bustling with patrons.
Charlene: Lena, why did you bring that inside? I don't want people looking at us funny.
Lena: But you and Dad said I could use it.
Kent: I mean, she's not wrong.
Charlene gives her husband a look of annoyance. The family then gets a booth. Lena sets down the camera which is angled at the window they are seated in front of. They then make their orders.
Waitress: Alright, just to double check that's going to be one surf and turf plate, an order of stuffed crabs with hush puppies, and two kids' chicken tenders with fries, correct?
Charlene: Yes, thank you so much.
Waitress: And the drinks?
Lena: Coke!
Charlene: No, we can't have you bouncing around our hotel room all night.
Lena: But Mom!
Kent: Listen to your mother, sweety.
Charlene: She'll have a Sprite. I'll have an iced tea, heavy on lemon.
Kent: And I'll have a rum and Coke.
Waitress: And dessert?
Charlene: Baked Alaska.
Kent: Let's see. I could go for some apple pie.
Lena: Strawberry Ice cream!
Charlene: Okay, but you're giving some to Deb.
Lena: Why do I have to?
Charlene: Lena, learn to share.
Lena: Yes, Mom.
While waiting for their food, a ringtone sounds. Kent pulls out his cell phone.
Kent: It's Johnny.
He answers.
Kent: Hey, what's up? No, it's fine. We're about to eat. We're at that new place you and Margaret went to. Yeah, that's the one.
How's Sindy been? Nervous, I bet. Hopefully, it goes well. Brett seems like a good guy. What?
Kent covers the phone and looks at Charlene.
Kent: “Hey, Johnny says Margaret wants to talk to you.”
Charlene agrees and is handed the phone.
Charlene: Hi, Margaret. No, the ride wasn't too bad. Deb and Lena actually behaved better than we thought. What do you need? I mean I could, but it's kind of short notice. It's in a few days. How has she not decided on one yet? I know it's her big day, but at some point, she needs to accept that not everything about it is going to be perfect.
Kent: I can attest to that. Always limit the number of drinks people can have.
Charlene gives Kent another glare before continuing her conversation.
Charlene: Alright, if no one else can, I guess I can make a little time while we're here. Okay, see you soon then. Bye.
Charlene hangs up and hands the phone back to Kent.
Charlene: They want me to help pick out a dress for Sindy.
Kent: This close to the wedding?
Charlene: I know. That girl is smart, but it feels like she can't make a decision to save her life.
The food arrives at the table and the waitress tells them to let her know if they need anything else before leaving. The next hour consists of the family eating.
Kent (while chewing): They weren't kidding. This place hits the spot.
Charlene: Don't talk with your mouth full. It sets a bad example for the kids.
Kent: My bad.
Charlene: The food is great, though. Are you enjoying it too, Lena?
Lena: Yep!
After some time, Charlene excuses herself to go to the restroom and tells Kent to watch their children. Kent lets Lena sip some of his Coke.
Kent: Shit, your mother's coming back. Also, don't say that word.
Lena: Shit?
Kent: No, don't! Yes, Lena, that word.
The meal continues. Something to note here is captured through the window. Once again, this relates to the forest. This time, different colored distortions can be seen, similar to digital glitching. Further analysis of this segment shows that the top of the trees appears to bend slightly.
While this could be due to a camera malfunction, it is unclear why this was condensed to such a small distant area. Upon concluding their meal, the Morris family has the rest of their food to go and exits Betsy's, heading to their hotel, a place known as Salt River Inn. Once inside their room, Lena starts jumping on one of the beds.
Charlene: Kent, did you let her have some Coke?
Kent: No, maybe.
Charlene: I said not to. Lena, get down from there this instant!
Lena is presumably too occupied to hear her mother's command.
Kent: Don't worry. I think I know what might help.
Kent turns on the TV, flipping through the channels until finding that Mulan by Disney is playing, having just begun. Lena stops jumping and sits on the bed, watching the screen tentatively.
Kent: See? No problem. Anyway, I'm heading in the shower. Want to come?
Seeing that their children are occupied, Charlene agrees. Mulan continues playing. The parents exit the bathroom around the movie's climax. Just then, the film is interrupted by a screen reading “Silverwright Weather Service” and an EAS beep sounds from the speakers.
Lena: Hey, where did the movie go?
Below is the message as heard.
[Attention residents of Silverwright, hazardous conditions are expected shortly.]
Kent: Johnny said the weather was supposed to be clear. Damn news people don't know a snake hole from their-
Charlene: Kent, be quiet! I want to hear this.
[For your safety, staying inside and away from windows is recommended. Shut off all lights and unplug all electrical devices to prevent damage due to strong currents.]
Charlene: At least it doesn't sound too serious. Hopefully, this will pass by morn-
[It is also advised that battery-operated devices be turned off as well. This includes cell phones, portable gaming devices, and even calculators. If you must have something on, a radio is most suitable for up-to-date information. Be mindful of volume should you choose this. Conditions are projected to last through the next several nights. We now return to your regularly scheduled program.]
Mulan resumes after a McDonald’s Happy Meal commercial.
Charlene: I wonder if Johnny and Margaret saw this too. Maybe we should give them a call?
Kent: No, I bet they’re sleeping already. You know how they are. Even an earthquake couldn’t wake them.
Charlene: Okay, are you keeping your phone on?
Kent: I don’t see why I shouldn’t.
Charlene: What about what the alert said?
Kent: How should I know? It’s probably like having your phone on airplane mode during a flight. It doesn’t mean anything.
The movie finishes. Charlene tells Lena to get ready for bed. She obeys and afterward lays down to sleep.
Charlene: Lena, did you remember to turn off that camera?
Groggily, Lena turns over and tries to shut it off. In her attempt, she accidentally hits the zoom button on the camera again and knocks it on its side, making it face the window. The red blinking light of a radio tower can be seen far away. Someone is climbing it. This is believed to be one of the hooded figures seen earlier in the video.
They reach the top and seem to raise their arms to the sky in a sort of welcoming gesture. The earlier digital-like distortion appears again. Something comes out of it, either a limb or appendage, and lifts the person, out of view. The distortion then pulses violet and rapidly spreads, soon making the sky above Silverwright the same color. Two hours later, Kent’s phone rings.
Charlene: “It’s after midnight. Who’s calling us now?”
The sound of the bed creaking can be heard.
Kent: Johnny again?
Charlene: I bet Sindy's freaking out that the wedding might be canceled. Answer, but tell him whatever it is will have to wait.
Kent: Hey, Johnny, listen. Wait, Sindy?
The bed creaks again as Kent sits up.
Kent: What? Hang on. I can’t understand you. Let me put you on speaker.
Sindy (sobbing): Mom and Dad are gone. I think something’s happened to them.
Charlene sits up as well. Kent replies to Sindy in a leveled tone.
Kent: Okay, Sindy, I want you to listen closely. Are you somewhere safe?
Sindy: I think so. Brett and I got into an argument earlier. My parents said I could come over. We talked for a while and then I fell asleep on the couch. I woke up about an hour ago to grab something from the fridge. I heard something weird coming from upstairs I wanted to see what it was.
Kent (pausing before replying): What did you find?
Sindy: It sounded like my parents were up so I decided to check on them, but they didn’t respond when I knocked on their door. I decided to try opening it and it was unlocked. They were just standing in front of the window. I think they were staring at something.
Kent: Were you able to see what?
Sindy: No, but the only thing near the house is the woods and that radio tower. Wait, maybe that’s what they were looking at. Their radio was acting weird before it happened.
Kent: Before what happened?
Sindy: Kent…I don’t think I’ll ever be able to comprehend what I saw. There was a purple flash and then their windows were busted in. Something grabbed them. I don’t know what it was. It reminded me of a giant hand only dark like a shadow. They didn’t even scream or anything while they were being pulled away. It was like they were okay with what was happening.
Charlene is the one who replies.
Charlene***:*** Sindy, sweety, tell us where you are in the hose right now and we’ll come get you.
Sindy: I’m in the basement. I figured that would be the safest option. Wait, what is that?
Noises akin to a tornado hitting a home sound through the phone speakers.
Sindy: Oh, god, it’s lifting everything! It’s massive! Wait…Its eyes. I understand everything now. I know I’ll be with my parents again soon.
Charlene: Sindy?
Sindy laughs.
Sindy: It’s so beautiful!
The call ends.
Charlene: We need to leave.
Kent: Leave? What about Sindy? What about Johnny and Margaret?
Charlene: We need to get them some help.
Kent: Okay, let’s try calling the police first.
He attempts and the phone keeps ringing.
Kent: Are you fucking kidding me right now?
Charlene: They must be busy.
Kent: What do we do then, go somewhere else to get help? The nearest town is hours away from here.
Charlene: I don’t see what else we can do.
Kent: I guess you’re right. We better pack.
Charlene and Kent repack their belongings. Charlene grabs the camera and carries Deb while Kent has Lena. Then the family exits the hotel room. The hall and lobby are full of people also trying to reach the exit.
Kent: We're never going to get out of here at this rate. Come on. This way.
They go to an emergency side door and push it open, causing the alarm to go off. Upon reaching their vehicle, there is a sound similar to when a microphone is held up to a speaker. Kent and Charlene let out yells of pain.
Kent: Where the hell is that coming from?
Charlene turns. A figure can be seen floating in the sky above the radio tower. Its appearance is reminiscent of a person's shadow that's been stretched out. Beams of pink light come from its eyes that scan the town below. It has an anomalous effect on whatever it touches. Inanimate objects and people alike vanish, the instant contact is made.
Charlene (voice trembling): What in God's name is happening, Kent?
Lena and Deb can be heard waking up with the latter crying. Their parents put them in the car. The camera is placed on the seat between the two children. Lena rubs her eyes.
Lena: Dad, why are we out here?
Charlene and Kent close their doors. The latter starts the car.
Kent: It's nothing, sweety, we just need to go on a little drive.
He backs out of their parking space and exits the lot, speeding down the road.
Lena: But I want to see Sindy!
Kent: We can't right now.
Lena: Why not?
Kent (voice raised): We just can't, alright?
Lena sobs slightly, but suddenly stops when she notices the camera.
Lena: Um excuse me.
Kent sighs. Charlene answers instead.
Charlene: What is it, honey?
Lena: I accidentally left the camera on.
Charlene: Don't worry about that right now. Just stay quiet and let your father drive, okay?
Lena: Okay.
Charlene: Good.
Lena picks the camera up and faces the back windshield. The creature seems larger than before.
Charlene: Kent!
Kent: I know. I see it in the mirror.
He accelerates.
Lena: Mom, Dad, what's that big thing?
Charlene: Something bad?
Lena: Is it gonna get us?
Charlene: No because we're playing a game with it, tag and if we can outrun it, we'll be safe. If you can help, try to calm your brother down.
Lena: I'll try.
The camera pans over the car floor. The head of a teddy bear sticks out from under the passenger seat. Lena grabs it and hands it to Deb. He stops crying.
Lena: Mom, I did it!
Charlene: That's good, sweety.
Kent continues speeding. On the sidewalk, the pink light washes over pedestrians. They freeze and then raise their arms in the direction of the being before vanishing.
Lena: Where did those people go?
Kent: We don't know.
He sharply turns a corner and goes onto a road that leads out of town.
Charlene: Is that it? Are we safe?
Kent: I think so. I don't know who we can go to about this. We'll try, though.
Lena: Dad?
Kent: Yes?
Lena: What's that thing doing?
The creature is rapidly scanning the area back and forth. Then it stares in their direction. The radio bursts to life with its cry from earlier, causing Kent to nearly go off the road.
Charlene: Keep it straight!
Kent: I'm trying!
The entity rips up several buildings and focuses its light on those areas. It grows and then levitates itself in the air. Its next action is technically flying. Although, its movements are more resemblant to swimming. The noise on the radio increases.
Charlene: Faster, Kent!
Kent: I don't think I can!
Lena: It's gonna catch us!
It dives, going out of view.
Kent: Huh? Where did it go?
Charlene: Kent, the road!
Lena focuses the lens on the front windshield. In the center of the road ahead, the being rises, tall enough to reach the sky. Kent tries sharply turning the steering wheel. It's assumed he is about to attempt a U-turn. Before he can, it shoots its lights at them, making them wash over the car.
It lifts off the road, freezing midair.
Kent (laughs): I get it now.
Charlene: Yes, Sindy was right all along.
Lena: Mom? Dad? What are you talking about? I don't like this.
Charlene: Don't worry, honey. It'll be okay soon.
Nothing else changes at first. Then both parents' bodies began to flatten and stretch out. They laugh as this happens. Deb and Lena begin crying.
Lena: What's happening to you guys?
Charlene: It's okay, honey. It won't hurt soon.
Lena looks at Deb who is also starting to go through the same process. She checks her hands and sees that she is as well. Both shriek as their parents' laughter turns into cackling. Simultaneously, all four family members disappear. The car hits the road and flips several times before coming to a stop.
In the months following the discovery of the Honda Accord, its tag number was used to trace back to the address of the Morris family. This lead went cold because the people who were living there had no idea who they were. By using the address of that home, we determined the possible location of Silverwright. According to our calculations, it should have been on the border going into Canada, but when we went to investigate, it was as if nothing had ever been there.
It's unclear whether the town belonged to the US state of Alaska or the Canadian Province of Yukon. However, as far as the two governments are concerned both Silverwright and the Morris family have never existed.

Hi all,
I've been lurking on the sub for a while now. I really love all the advice and encouragement people give and how supportive y'all are towards those of us still trying to find our footing.
I get the sense that there's a lot of SWE-type workers and searchers here. I know the general tech market is absolute rubbish atm here in the USA, but I wanted to still ask about advice/tips for job-hunting specifically as a Data Scientist. Rambling alert for the next several paragraphs....
I have an undergrad degree in a quant field (math), worked for 2 years at a law firm during Covid-19, and now just recently finished my master's in data science. I really like data science in general and how adaptable it is as a new field. Of course, though, the fact that it's a relatively new field makes the job hunt even trickier. Also, I was the very first cohort as the master's program was brand new, so I'm on my own in terms of networking and trying to find connections.
Also, most DS folks I know are men. There were less than a dozen women in my program, with the vast majority being men, and I imagine this is the norm in DS circles since there hasn't been time for women to break into it in the same way as programming at large. I've gotten a couple panel interviews here and there, and it's always been men. It's disheartening and frustrating because I'm certain they'd treat a similar male candidate differently. Instead, they feel the need to grill me on random tech questions and don't seem to take my project experience seriously. Like, I've got a 2nd round panel interview coming up where I have to make a presentation and I hate knowing that they'll probably think my template is "girly" just because I wanted one that looks nice and isn't just a basic slide deck.
Anyway, that mini-rant aside, I've been applying since October of last year, and applying in earnest / full time since March. I have a lot of good technical skills and experience with a strong grounding in coding (Python, R, SQL) and statistics. I'm really good at cross-functional types of problems and also have a degree in English, so I have lots of experience communicating tech info to non-tech audiences. I mostly just want decent pay and interesting work, but it seems impossible to find anything these days. I've focusing more on alt hiring sites like Otta rather than Linkedin, but I just know I don't stand a chance when senior people from the layoffs are also applying to the same entry/mid-level positions I'm looking at. I also don't have experience working with many of the tech stacks like AWS or DataBricks.
Back to venting... I've been the sole bread-winner for my partner and I since 2020 as he's still in grad school finishing a PhD, and it's honestly just... exhausting? I worked at a law firm for 2 years at a job that sucked out my soul and made me the most depressed I've ever been. Then I spent the past 2 years in school as we lived on my savings. Now I'm back to having the weight of all the world on my shoulders. It's not that I resent my partner or anything, but just the stress of feeling responsible for the well-being of my spouse and pets has really taken its toll on me. We can't move because he has another year of grad school, so I'm stuck trying to find 100% remote jobs or jobs local to me. But I don't live in a big city and anything worthwhile is at least a 60 minute commute away. The 2nd round I have next week is a freakin 90 minute commute one way, and I don't know how I'd survive that kind of daily commute, but I'm also getting desperate.
I've also been trying to work on more side projects to add to my github/personal website, but it's hard to focus and I'm constantly stressed out. I'm exhausted and discouraged and feeling really overwhelmed and hopeless. I'd especially love something in the consulting/R&D areas, but basically anything would be good at this point.
TL;DR: any advice / tips / leads for a remote data science job would be welcome. I also don't know how to tailor my resume or market myself well because my program offered zero guidance and I've mostly been cold applying because I have no network to try to leverage. I write tailored cover letters for everything, but again I have no idea how best to present myself.
List of skills/tech I know:

• Python / R / SQL + libraries
• Machine learning
• Statistics
• Natural language processing
• Communication / collaboration
• Power BI
• Tableau (I'm trying to teach myself rn)
• Math

THERE IS A LINK TO AN INTERVIEW GUIDE AT THE BOTTOM
This post is the designated place to post resumes and job openings.
Below is a guide to help clarify your posts. Anonymity is kind of a hard thing to uphold but we still encourage it. Either use throwaway accounts or remove personal information and put place holders in your resumes. Then, if you've got a match, people can PM you.
When you post your resume, please include:

• Goal (job, resume feedback, etc.)
  
• Industry or desired industry (petrochemical, gas processing, food processing, any, etc.)
  
• Industry experience level (Student, 0-2 yr, 2-5 yr, 5-10 yr, etc.)
  
• Mobility (where you are, any comments on how willing you are to relocate, etc.)

Check out the /rEngineeringResumes' wiki
Spring career fairs are around the corner. Seriously, follow the advice below.

• One page resume. There are some exceptions, but you will know if you are the exception.
  
• Consistent Format. This means, that if you use a certain format for a job entry, that same format should be applied to every other entry, whether it is volunteering or education.
  
• Stick to Black and White, and text. No pictures, no blue text. Your interviewers will print out your resume ahead of the interview, and they will print on a black and white printer. Your resume should be able to be grey scaled, and still look good.
  
• Minimize White space in your resume. To clarify, this doesn't mean just make your resume wall to wall text. The idea is to minimize the amount of contiguous white space, using smart formatting to break up white space.
  

In terms of your bullet points,

• Start all your bullet points using past tense, active verbs. Even if it is your current job. Your goal should still be to demonstrate past or current success.
  
• Your bullet points should be mini interview responses. This means utilizing STAR (situation task action response). Your bullet point should concisely explain the context of your task, what you did, and the direct result of your actions. You have some flexibility with the result, since some things are assumed (for example, if you trained operators, the result of 'operators were trained properly' is implied).
  

Finally, what kind of content should you have on your resume

• DO. NOT. PUT. YOUR. HIGH. SCHOOL. I cannot emphasize this enough. No one cares about how you did in high school, or that you were valedictorian, or had a 3.X GPA. Seriously, no one cares. There are some exceptions, but again, you will know if you are the exception.
  
• If you are applying for a post graduation job, or have graduated and are applying for jobs, DO NOT PUT COURSEWORK. You will have taken all the classes everyone expects, no one cares to see all of the courses listed out again.
  

I highly recommend this resume template if you are unsure, or want to take a step back and redo your resume using the above advice. It's easier to know what to change and what you want to improve on, once you have a solid template. Iterative design is easier than design from scratch.

Resume Advice

Short Version: Use the USAJobs Resume Builder. It's not "pretty" but it ensures you have all the required information.
Longer version:
One major tip I can give that may help is about resumes. resumes for federal positions are very different than the ones used for private sector jobs most federal resumes are much longer. Here are a few key pointers for tailoring your resume for federal government job applications, especially for FEMA:
Highlight Relevant Experience: Emphasize any past work, volunteer experience, or education that aligns with emergency management or public service. FEMA values diverse experiences, so don't hesitate to include roles that demonstrate your adaptability, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. Make sure to detail the day for all dates otherwise HR will assume its the shortest time between two dates. For example January 2022 to February 2022 if written like this HR will assume its Jan 31 to February 1 cutting off what could be 2 full months of qualifying experience when what should be written is January 1 2022 to February 28 which HR would give the full time between dates. This is one example of the nuances of federal resumes that's worth knowing
Use Keywords: Federal resumes all go through a manual review but are looking for specific things. In every USAjobs post there is a section that says " One full year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade" then gives a few things that you have to have experience in listed on the resume this is what the HR person will review for. Make sure to include keywords and phrases from that part of the job posting in your resume. Additionally, beyond showing those things write the rest of the resume for the Subject matter expert who will be the hiring official that reviews whether or not they want to interview. if there is more of an opportunity to do This will help your application stand out and show that you're a good match for the role.
Be Detailed: Unlike private sector resumes, federal resumes require more detail. Include specific accomplishments, the scope of your responsibilities, and the impact of your work. Quantify your achievements wherever possible.
Format Appropriately: Follow the federal resume format, which is different from a typical one-page resume. It's usually longer and more comprehensive. There are templates and guidelines available on sites like USAJobs.gov.
