I’m looking for advice from managers (and any job seekers who might have done this approach). I had a really great interview for a job but was ultimately rejected; I learned the reason was because of a technical skill I was lacking. So, I took a course, learned the skill and want to reapply to the role since it is still open. My question, do managers tend to see this as a good thing and reconsider the candidate? Has anyone been hired with this approach?

I am sorry to hear that. I know this is a really tough job market to be looking for a job in. I don't see anything wrong with applying for the role again if you didn't get it the first time.

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

My fiancé will NOT stop talking about her ex. After I found out they were texting arguing she justified it by saying it was about the dogs and not them. Even though Her social media is full of his pics. She still sends him $50 a month for dog food, still goes to work right by his place and suspiciously needs keys. I try to bring it up and I get dismantled for being too mean and making “false accusations.” How much more obvious can it be?

Ask me anything as there are very few reviews available online.
To clear few misconceptions
