Neighbors love it, criminals not so much.

In the past, it was very well received, but now I feel that people look at me with some suspicion.

I recently met my daughter's boyfriend's family and when they asked me what I was doing and I said I was a policewoman, everything changed in the meeting, people have a bad stigma of us policemen, I think that if I tell them that I dedicate myself to drug trafficking nothing would have changed.

I work as a state prosecutor, when I say that I am a prosecutor, people usually stop talking a lot, do they feel that I am going to persecute them or something? In a way, it makes me laugh.

When I say that I am a detective, people assume that I wear work and a tie and I am going to solve CSI-type crimes, but that is not the case at all, everything is very different.

I'm starting as a police officer, I'm only 5 months old, when I say I'm a police officer, people look at me with pity, I think they have us in a very bad position, it's a shame because we are always the ones who help, that is, of course, we make mistakes, but the goal of most of us is to be better for society.

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕
