Essential The Locker Room's Random Thoughts

[Hijo de luna]

I notice they only send the numbers out to everybody when the black man isn't on top . All good tho, I don't live for praise from others. I set my goals and exceed them

What kind of place you applying to, fam? Depending on the industry, and whether its a small business or a "known" place, you can go about it a few ways.

I'm in coastal GA, I been applying to a variety from corporate to hospitality brands like the Hyatt and Marriott ( I have recruiting/staffing experience in the industry, plus I worked in F&B a lot in undergrad) to small, local offices.

Eh. I was in that spot for a while. I would say narrow down a top 3 and pester they asses. One job I had for a year, I sent a biweekly email to the HR lady for 3 months, asking questions about what i would need to learn and whatnot, and just the culture of the place. Eventually she brought me in to interview, and we went from there.

I made sure to email often enough that she knew how I was, but not so often that she didnt wanna hear from me anymore.

Another way I copped a job was stalking the spot middayFor a few days. I basically got a feel for a couple people I regularly saw leave the job for lunch, and when he time was right, approached one in a nearby restaurant. I 45 minute conversation, then I got his corporate email so he could forward my resume. I didnt get the job the first interview, but a few months later I put in another inquiry and got in. You might have to become a scheming mothafukka to get a gigAll you need is someones ear for a few minutes. Sending out resumes alone fukking blows, cause there is almost always someone with a better one.

Thank you!! I will try some of these approaches. I don't live in a big city, so it shouldn't be that difficult since the job opportunities are limited.

My co-worker passed me a job description for a developer so I applied on the humble. Well I just had the phone interview and the recruiter ended up recommending another position they were hiring for. So she asks me about salary and I told her I feel I'm underpaid and want to get paid about $15k more than what I make now. I then asked her if that amount was in range and she was like "Yes that's totally doable and you're right you are underpaid" That means I should have asked for $20-$25k more.

This is why I try not to be hesitant to share what I make with people, at least give them a range. I'm also thankful to the folks that shared their salaries with me. When you're used to people making minimum wage or a little over, it's easy to get comfortable making anything remotely over that amount.

Randomly went to the sc and got a lappy from a deaf chick (she could hear me but she had the deaf voice soooo, she's a deaf chick to me lol). Chick had a wonderful rack

Women and foreigners of all stripes are the worst fukking drivers. They have infuriating low driving IQ. Just pitiful.

So i was vacuuming my floor when my iPhone charging cable got caught up in it. Best Buy is within walking distance and a cable is like what $10 - $15 , no problem right? Except I know damn well I'm going to go in there and buy something I was not thinking about...lol

In other news, my PA rating was a 4.2 out of a 5. That raise is going to be ( Another reason to buy something stupid at best buy )
