Started a new job a while back and no one told me I had to disarm the alarm if I was the first one in. So I walk in all confident and boom, alarm starts blaring. I panicked, called my supervisor, and a few minutes later security showed up.

Felt like I was breaking into my own workplace 😅 So embarrassing but kinda funny now that I think about it.

Omg lol. I would be so scared if I did something like that, especially because I have to open my store at 6am and I'm already easily spooked. Glad it all got resolved quickly though!

Haha right?! 6am openings already feel spooky enough without alarms screaming at you 😂

I would’ve panicked so bad lol.

I’m trying to transition full time into the Editorial realm, I have some experience, but I’ve had a very hard time getting full time work. So I’ve begun an online certificate program, in hopes it will give me a leg up, as my degree is in a different field. My question is has anyone done the same? And how do they feel it helped? And any other tips on breaking into full time editorial.

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.

He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
