Job-Hunting reach-out to VC from previous fundraising effort for own startup


I have e-mail archive from 1y ago of my reach-out to 65 VCs in London: we had video calls, they might remember me still, who knows.

I want to send a reply/forward message to the same e-mail thread from abc@gmail.com, saying that I am looking for roles within their VC firm. Is that a good idea?

Or shall I just start new email thread and mention how I know them?

I felt like a walking zombie during thanksgiving, barely eating and barely talking. My family is small and I told them ahead of time my relationship ended. I focused on my niece and nephews, cried when I wanted to and slept from 8pm-noon for the last 5 days. Showered once or twice. That’s the best I could do and that’s OK right now. I’m back in my apartment, just trying to take it one day at a time, and not re read his texts too much. My birthday is Thursday 🙄

I am in a relationship for 3.5 years now. .
We both love each other. Used to enjoy the company emotionally and physically. We took it bit slow as it was 1st relationship for both of us.
For initial years we tried various stuff on bed and we both enjoyed it thoroughly.
And finally last year after 2-2.5 years of dating when we were comfortable enough, we decided to have sex.

But, after many unsuccessful attempts we discover that she might have medical condition vaginismus

Hello there! I currently work in billing at a medical office. I got my Bachelors in Psychology a few years ago but I couldn’t find a position that seemed like a good option for me that was well paying and fulfilling. I tried working as a tech at an Applied Behavior Analysis clinic but it wasn’t a good fit. I’m hesitant to try case management or social work because I worry I won’t like it but I want to use my degree in Psychology. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

Halp! I have a TSH of nearly 4 and recently got put on Synthroid by an endocrinologist. I was supposed to wait until my TSH was 2.5 to conceive but we just found out we are pregnant. 🙈 I’d love to hear experiences of others who had higher TSH once you conceived and how you dealt with it.

Tips on interviewing and navigating being sick? Some interviewers don't want to wait...but also look at you like you have two heads if you proceed with the zoom interview.

Anybody tried Ginger or therapy through texting? Would love to know your thoughts. I can see it being neat since I tend to express my feelings and thoughts better in writing. I also tend to downplay how I really feel in person with a friend but less so when I’m texting them my feelings. But worried about the quality of therapists and my words actually being saved in my files, amongst other things.

A recruiter reached out and asked what time we could talk on Friday I told them 1pm and to let me know if the time works for them. The recurring has not responded should I assume we are on for Friday?

I need insight on these “Tell me about a time” interview questions. I understand the response format (Situation, Task, Action, Result) however, I’m having difficulty with needing to have a story for a hella ton of scenarios when they’re asking these questions. Any tips/ tricks to pass this type of interview? So aggravating when interviewing and 90% of time in the interview are these questions and the last 10% are about your experience/ skills. Feel like I’m not able to really express myself.

I am looking for a new job for the past three years. I know you don’t know me, but take my work for it, I am good at my job, always been efficient and a very quick study. But I seem to struggle in the Interviews and my CV doesn’t get much traction. I paid people to write it for me, to no avail. I started feeling that maybe lack of education in the field is the reason. My confidence is so low that every interview (if I get one) is a huge stress. Worst part I don’t get feedback to work on.

Does anyone know of good resume writing companies/people

Mid 20s, 3.5 YOE-- been interviewing with roles and firms since October without luck (handful of making it to final interview round but no offer). And I've recently been dropping out of interviews just because I feel the burnout of having done 2-3 interviews a week since Thanksgiving.

How do you manage the drive to find a role vs the burnout of actually pursuing the role?

Has anyone negotiated their job offer over a phone call? How did that go?

Would it be best to thank them for their offer and tell them you'll think about it and then negotiate via email?

I have been applying and interviewing for almost two years and not able to lend a job offer. I am at a point of wanting to give up. I’m always getting to the final round of interviews and interviewers experience how amazing I am.. but still no offer.
Anyone have any advice? I literally just don’t know what to do anymore

I interviewed for an Associate Director position in Student Life within CUNY. Both interviews went great, especially the last one with the director. I was informed that I would hear back from them within two weeks. Long story short, it's been over two months and I never got a direct follow up as told; however, I see the exact position reposted on multiple sites, including on CUNY. I called HR and they were the ones who informed me that they decided to interview a new pool of candidates.

Hi I had someone recently tell me I should have my education and certifications above my experience on my resume. I found this weird as I thought since I had 5 years of work experience that would go first. They said since I graduated college in 2020 and was actively in a certificate program those should go above my current experience. Thoughts?

Starting a new job at Applied Materials on Monday as a Manufacturing Engineer III. I’ve been out of college for 5 years and all of my work experience till now has been in R&D for start ups and small businesses . So not only is this a new experience for me going into such a large company but also a industry (semiconductors). Does anybody has tips or advices on what I should expect as a new hire and how I can set myself up for success? Thanks!

I recently got a job offer from a very big hospital in NYC. They said the offer is conditional on the “rest” of my background check. I’m not sure what that means, they spoke to all of my references already, and said they spoke to HR at my last job. It’s been almost a week, should I reach out or just keep waiting?
