The first A1 was the usual stupid sarcastic response the first person to reply tries to 'sneak in' quickly, hoping to get some 'likes'.

Same here. Opening up a juicerey like brewery! So excited. Let's do this!

Ask me. I’ve worked at and launched two startups - with moderate to little success so if anything you can learn from my mistakes. FBBurner2018@gmail.com

There are 2 A1s.. 🙄

Post your top 2 ideas in FB (separately). This group will give you some good feedback (amidst the snark).

Haha.. Well I'm trying it out in the burbs of Houston. Happen to have prime access to a very congested street corner ~35K cars / day... Been itching to test this out

OP im all ears if you wanna chat 🤗

When I look on Pinterest, most of the results show very casual work outfits w/ sneaks & while I think dark wash jeans, blouse and blazers can look cute/presentable, it’s not appropriate for my office (I’m in healthcare).

Been since May 23rd that I’ve completed my background check. Called the 3rd party company and they said the background check has been sent to the hiring company for review as of last Friday.

I’ve just never had a background check take at or over a week. Advice?

“Why do you want to work here?” How do you answer this question early in the interview process? I get it often in the first round and what I really think is - “I don’t know yet, that’s why we’re talking! It’s a two way street.” But that obviously isn’t a good answer….

More often than not, PM owns the tasks of ensuring their team and agency log their time, but I argue that it is not our sole responsibility.

Food for thought: the US is actually one of the most racially conscious places I’ve ever lived. Not saying we don’t have a LONG way to go and that there isn’t immediate important work needed.
But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible. Keep in mind this is just my experience and may not represent others- however, in many of the other places I’ve lived or traveled to, racism is almost tacitly accepted. You wouldn’t have people calling out taxi drivers for ignorance for example
