Get a different food truck to show up each weekend

likefunnysmartuplifting

Bars around Lake Tahoe have food trucks.

Trivia nights? Market through Facebook/local resources depending on what city to let people know what’s happening - 4/5 person teams, no entry fee (people will buy food and drinks if you schedule it around dinner time), prize could be a voucher for money off on their next visit and a picture on the wall - people love having their name/picture on the wall and will come back/bring their friends.
Based on the description is sounds like a more laid back, casual atmosphere, maybe some live music from aspiring bands in the area? (Warning for live music, my advice to be to keep it quieter rather than louder, I love live music but can’t stand when I can’t talk to the people I came with).
Also maybe some theme nights, would definitely check out a bar if they were doing a jazz night, etc., but it would definitely depend on the demographic of the area

^this guy or girl gets it. Lot of replies which show scant concern for what the market and customers demand. You can't unilaterally impose what you think is cool or popular onto a place, and I doubt many of you have experience in Slovenia.

Agreed! I’ve been in many cafes / bars / restaurants in Slovenia - nearly nothing else will address the issues. Follow D7!

Hi Fishes,

I am looking for the job change in ServiceNow profile and having a experience of 4+ yrs.

Currently I am trying to create network in linked in and naukari but still not getting the response from some companies like JP Morgan or mindtree etc.

Can u help me to understand what is the best way to create a network to some major companies.

I know applying directly to the company site mostly doesn't have any benefit or will take long time to schedule the interview.

I've been avoiding breaking up with someone (I've been dating off and on for a year) for the past few weeks because I can't decide the best way to do it. We're not compatible long-term. He's not seeing anyone else and I've told him I'm seeing other people but he's starting to have relationship expectations for me since we reconnected a few months ago. Any tips for having the conversation? I'd prefer to do it via text but I know people say it's not appropriate and it should be over the phone.

Hi,

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

However, I changed my address in my firm’s system right when I moved... is this an issue on my firm’s part or did I screw something up?
