Been trying to find another job for almost 3 months to move to as my new main job is not giving me or anyone else enough hours since the start of the year, and I absolutely hate it when people look at me weird when I hand over my resume in person. I did everything right: applied online, dressed appropriately, and said the right things, yet they still act like that. Is it maybe because I wear a mask? Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case.

That’s frustrating that you’re getting weird looks. I’m sorry you’re getting the response. What I would do if possible is casually create conversation when it’s slow and then inquire about current or future openings. That gives you some time to let them open their door for you. It’s all about relationship building. Even if you were at the top of the stack, if they meet someone they’ve already spoken with who they like - that person will get priority. If you go in with a resume, you’re walking in with an ask for them - when it’s likely another thing on their plate at that given time

The mask is not going to help. Try not to use it. You can always sit far away or ask for a phone or video interview. People are trying to read your facial expressions in an interview.

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more?
