Brehs are you all plain jane with your resumes or do you go for the more modern look?

Im crafting one of each but please chime in

My new one has colors and she added this graphic that I liked, but I want to change out some of the keywords. Other than that, it's "plain". I think having a linkedin is more important than whatever type of resume you choose. A lot of companies allow you to import your data from linkedin.

I hate being unproductive at work. It's too much other shyt I could be doing instead of sitting at work looking dumb. I try so hard to like my current position; Monday and Friday telework, I barely show up T-Th. I leave at 3pm no matter what time I get there or I might leave early. Lately I've been working "remote", but on base. I'll just squat in a random space because my co-workers annoy me. The last couple days, I've left for lunch and went home and logged back on. I've been begging for work since I've gotten there. It's coming up on a year and I hope to get out of there soon. If I get another offer, I'm going to see if my homeboy wants to take over the contract. It would be a step up from the pay he's getting now, he's qualified, and I think he would be a better fit.

I have an interview for a Sr. Enterprise Data Engineer role on Tuesday with Baltimore County Public School system (BCPSS). I'm going to play up the fact that I graduated from BCPSS, currently has a child attending BCPSS, and I own a home in Baltimore County. I'm excited because the role checks off all the boxes: < 20 minute commute, salary is great, ties into my masters studies...there were keywords in the job description that I'm currently studying right now. Plus hopefully I can settle down. I need a stable full-time gig to fund my side projects. Contracts don't offer any security.

The word just came through that my boss wants me to present about the project I'm working on to his boss :franchit:. I'm tempted to tell them how I really feel about how things are going down.
I just looked over the email again. It's to me and the "project lead" but my boss specifically said he wants me to present it :umad:. I wish my partner in crime was still at the company :mjcry:.

for those of you with businesses, this was an image I pulled from a coaching session slide I watched a few months back.

most folks are under the first three brackets but it was instrumental in focusing on what needed to be done to move from "Starter" to "Promoter"

the mental movement that has to take place in business starts with yourself first and foremost and then to the products/services you sell

Once you have knowledge and control of yourself other things fall into place easier.

Ally done dropped now to 1.9%. @Obreh Winfrey I think you was on there too right? Second time they dropped recently but with rates dropping it was expected. Got just over 18.5 in there and was tryna reach 20. My boy said he was gonna pull out whatever he had but I think ima get more aggressive now cuz with the economy not looking too good, savings gonna be vital. Gotta try and reach 20k by Halloween and get back on track.

I didn't even hear about the first drop. I'm not tripping though. I need to get back to rebuilding too. I threw away a big chunk of change a few weeks back and if I need to dip in I might be in trouble. I only need another couple of months to stabilize, but y'all know how life can be. I changed my 401k contributions to help the cause for a little while.

I'm hoping come bonus time in the new year I can bag close to 10%. It won't be nearly that high but a man can dream. That money will probably go into paying down debt so I can get out from under this car loan even sooner. Current trajectory is 12 months early but I've only made 1 payment so far :mjgrin:

Yeah I was putting some money into my Fidelity account to mess with some stocks but I been messing with the weed ones and they ain't been doing shyt lately. Plus any other random ones. Gonna cancel those recurring deposits. Then I got the rollover IRA from my old job since my new job I'm contract still and not eligible. I'm sure my funds are going down so I'll have to find a stable fund or just ride the wave cuz I got another 30 years to go anyways. Might just hold off on those deposits too. Been looking into the Forex lately but gotta learn much more cuz thats a risk also.

Ain't tryna take no trips until atleast October. Recent trips done hurt my pockets plus I wanted to take a short trip to NOLA also but I'm like that can wait anyways. Gotta see if I pay down some small CC debt and I'll be good.

Today I was legit over my current job. I am SO sick of not doing anything and when I do something, I'm basically rehashing an old topic because no one wants to utilize the new reporting methods available to them. Keep using old, broken reports and wonder why the data doesn't align to anything or you're receiving incorrect results. :manny: I don't know if this interview tomorrow is "the one", but I know I'm not going to be able to stay there much longer.

I feel oddly at peace that something better is coming along. I just don't know how that will manifest itself, just trying to be as patient as possible. I'm going to be "sick" tomorrow though.
