Can you name a job that sounds simple, but is actually complicated?

I totally thought working as grounds crew at a baseball field sounded like it should be as easy as sitting on a mower, but I was shocked to see in this video how much science went into the maintenance.

Customer Service Phone Representative-Inbound Calls....you would think that it would be easier to do your sales, in your department, that people call to buy something, but sometimes it doesn't quite workout that way.

being a maintenance technician at hotel. Many people think its fast and easy work, but many people don't know that most hotels don't want to pay but for just 1 maintenance person, and force him to do everything around the hotel, and then not pay for all supplies needed to do the job and tell them to improvise. its a very fast paced and stressful work environment. to make matters worse: now days they pay just over minimal wage for it as well.

Other Reasons You Didn’t Get the Job

A form rejection email is often not an accurate depiction of why you were not offered the job. Here are some other (very valid) reasons why you may not have received an offer, despite what you were told.

  • Hiring Freeze
  • Always Meant for an Internal Employee
  • Company is Afraid to Pull the Trigger
  • Found Someone Cheaper
  • Company Decided to Delay the Hire
  • Job Went to the Boss’s Niece
  • Company is Restructuring

Keep this in mind the next time you’re told “you weren’t a fit for our needs” or “we decided on a candidate with more experience” or not told a thing.

The ACTUAL reason could have absolutely nothing to do with you.

Of course, if this becomes a pattern, it’s possible your interviewing skills simply need some polishing. That’s easy enough to correct. I work with job seekers all the time in this area.

Bottom line: If a company decides not to move on with you (or never gives you any type of response), realize it’s their loss and continue to progress forward with your job search.

Do you think you'll be automated out of a job?

Looks like #Krogers is going to start using drones in #Ohio to deliver groceries starting this week. What do you think?

This is just another chance at someone or a company like kroger to one up or be ahead in the race for I.T. superiority let it run its course and they will find out like many others it more than likely will not work there are too many obsticles that are realtime and it can really get expensive if the delivery percentage is at only at 75 or 80 percent but king soopers might have groceries scattered from sheridan to golden but could be amusingly funny.Crash course with a hungry eagle or maybe the neighbor kids bb gun lol.

WANTING TO GET AHEAD! [IBYC]

I'm telling you the truth...(MUST READ w/o FAIL)

When you really want to get ahead in a specific area, you have to adjust your personal development skills and aspects.

Are you willing to be...

  • Committed
  • Disciplined
  • Enthusiastic
  • Flexible
  • Grateful

These attributes have transformed ordinary people into extraordinary people by mere application.

Apply what you learn, watch life change, then everything else will fall-in-place.

I Believe You Can...!

I think the stimulus checks were a great idea, I didn't see anybody giving that money back or refusing it! , so the American people needed is that simple, we need a extra 1500 or 1600 as I final stimulus that would hit the spot. I just think it takes too long way too long , it took me forty years to get here I working paying taxes never saw a stimulus or tax return except for the state! It was worth the wait but it should be quicker! For citizens , God bless America. #beenwondering

Not receiving any funds. Hopefully somebody who can help will see this.

My name is Adam Howard. When the Covid crisis was in full swing, it was March of last year when I was furloughed from both of my full-time jobs. I still have the letter from unemployment stating I was approved and the sum I would be receiving. As of today 04-28-21 I haven’t received a single payment. None of my attempts to contact have worked. My savings are gone, I’m at my wits end. #unemployment #advice #stressful #beenwondering #georgia
