You know it’s bad when you can’t even get the “level-down” jobs you are using as interview practice and don’t really want. 😢

Overqualified is a thing you know

If you level down you likely look over qualified and likely to leave sooner for something better AND. If you don't really want the job, they will know. The spark, the excitement, the I just can't wait to work here....someone else will always smoke you in that regard.

Besides, it's all about networking. If you didn't network your way in, your way behind the curve.

Background story: it was a newly purchased second hand bike, before receiving the RC COVID started and I returned to my hometown. So never received it and I’m sure the RTO is not going to handover me the RC easily.

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
