cheat code
This will work, I used to be a recruiter. Recruiters donât got time to read every single resume they see, they look for keywords, find what they want, Call and do a preliminary interview. Thatâs it lol
This is amazing
Boosting this!
AMAZING :D
I will remember this tip!
I have no idea if this works at all, but I donât see how it could hurt. Iâm all about resume cheat codes. Hereâs some more advice:
How to Write a Resume so You Actually Have a Prayer of Getting Hired
How to Write a Cover Letter like You Actually Want the JobÂ

We are defenders of the right to be proud of who you are To love who you love and to accept every scar We are your knights, protectors of our pride Together we stand, together we ride

THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN
HOLY SMOKES
*sparkly eyes* This is so god damn cool
I JUST REALIZED THE BI PRIDE KNIGHT HAD STARS AND CONSTELLATIONS IM-
omg where can I get this?! take my money right now
You can get it here! :)
Actual good first-time college student advice:
Wear jeans/pants that âbreatheâ and bring a sweater, even if itâs scorching hot out, until you know which building blasts the AC to 60 degrees F and which feels like a sauna
Backpacks with thick straps are your friend! Messenger bags are cool and all but if youâre commuting with a lot of stuff, symmetrically styled backpacks are better for your back
You are your own person and you can walk out whenever you need to or want to, so long as youâre not disrupting the class. Meaning you can go to the bathroom without permission, take a breather if youâre anxious, answer an important phone call, etc.
If you donât like the class on the first day, if you can- DROP THAT CLASS AND TAKE ANOTHER ONE! Itâll only get worse from there!
If you can, take a class outside your major; itâs a good break from your expected studies.
You are in charge of your schedule. Your adviser and guidance counselor is there to âadvise and guideâ but if you donât like certain classes and you can substitute for others, thatâs your choice.
Consequently, if you are changing anything drastic in your plan, talk with your adviser and instructors.
Pay attention to your credit hours and grades. Â Never leave this to the last week of school, you will be sorry and stressed beyond belief!
Unless itâs a lab book or otherwise specified, go to the class for a week or so before buying an expensive textbook. Some classes, while having it on their required list, do not actually use the textbook a whole lot and you might find some of it scanned online. Rent if you can or buy used online (schools actually donât give discounts). Use your best judgement on what you think you need.
Tell the people who go up to you selling or advertising things you are not interested in that you are in a rush to class and donât have time to listen to them. Itâs less rude and theyâll leave you alone.
The smaller the class, the better it is to have some sort of acquaintanceship with a couple classmates. They might save your ass if you are absent one day or need to study. And talking with them makes the time go by faster without it being so insufferable.
You donât need to join a club or sport, but internships are cool and useful!
If you can afford it, take a day off once or twice each semester if youâre too exhausted. Just be aware of what you missed and if it was worth missing!
Your health is the most important, this goes for mental health too!! Note: College-age/upper teens is when mental disorders like depression and anxiety are most commonly diagnosed. Most schools have therapy services, especially during exam time. Look into it if you need to!
Communicate with your professor if you are having trouble with something. Anything.
Eat and stay hydrated. Bring a water bottle and snack to class.
All-nighters will happen but never go over 36 hours without sleep.
Itâs going to be hard and there will be times you might think about giving up. This WILL happen. You just have to make sure what youâre doing isnât making you absolutely miserable and/or there is something rewarding and positive to look forward to at the end!
I did none of this and it bit me in the ass every time so this is EXCELLENT ADVICE.
ADDITIONAL ADVICE
Donât let a mental health day turn into a mental health week because you will be so screwed.
Pay attention to the syllabus and do not lose it. A lot of professors put all of the assignment due dates in there and ONLY in there.
If your school has blackboard or moodle etc. CHECK IT. a lot of professors will only post certain info there and not talk about it in class
Check your student email account weekly. A lot of it will be unimportant junk but sometimes itâs the only way professors will communicate.
Go meet your professors during their office hours. When â not if â you need an extra day on a paper, or some other kind of special consideration, your professors are more likely to help you out when youâve already made the effort to introduce yourself outside of your regular class hours.
If you are pulling an all-nighter you should eat another meal, even if its just a hot pocket. Breakfast is called break FAST for a reason, your fasting in your sleep and without it you need to eat a fourth meal.
Dont wear your school merch outside of campus. Especially if your schools in a city like mone was, it lables you as âtired person with a laptop thats easy to stealâ
Get an umbrella
If you get sick, DO NOT go to class until you are sure you arenât contagious. You donât want to be patient zero of an outbreak, and you canât do your best work will sick either
Similarly, GET VACCINATED!!!! Holy FUCK please, if you can, get your fucking shots. Herd immunity only works if everyone who can get vaccinated, does. My school offered free flu shots, I got that shit as soon as I could. The target pharmacy offered the shot for $5
Form study groups!!!! They help behind belief

I found this lovely video on Facebook this morning. It shows you how to regrow various fruits and veggies.
From personal experience, I can say that for green onions, you really donât need to separate all the ends into neat little individual containers; you can just put them all into an extra drinking glass. Also, if you plant them, you will end up with a tiny forest of green onions, and the flowers are quite big, interesting, and edible as well!
So today I learned that it is technically possible for a person in the US to order insulin online from Canada without a prescription.
And that it costs less than the copays/deductibles that many US insurance policies will charge along the way to getting insulin here in the US. And I realized this requires a PSA.
Because this is technically illegal to do. You might be easily misled into thinking that it is legal because:
US customs only rarely rejects such shipments,
as far as I know the US has never prosecuted a person for ordering quantities that are reasonable for a couple months of personal use,
Canada does not have any laws making it illegal for their pharmacies to ship insulin to US patients,
Canada does not require a prescription at all for insulin,
Canada often gets their insulin from the same factories that the US does, literally often the same exact drugs, and with comparable standards of quality and safeguards and regulations,
Canadian pharmacies consider shipping to US customers a significant part of their business model, so much so that they have payed for quite a lot of advertising to US customers through Google, and
some US citizens and residents already choose to get their insulin from Canada that way.
Wow, just look at all those reasons why you might mistakenly think it is legal - it is affordable, legal and widely accepted on Canada's side, and the insulin comes from legit sources. But to reiterate it is definitely illegal.
So you should absolutely never do it, no matter how much you might need insulin to not die.
No obligation, but if you could help spread the word of how this seemingly innocent method of getting insulin is actually illegal, you'd be doing a great service to the people who medically need insulin.
Otherwise, in a moment of desperation when they cannot afford it or their prescription for it cannot be renewed in time, they might make the wrong decision and buy insulin this illegal way, and that would be bad.
Please boost this!

Every girl has had the experience where a creepy guy asks for our number and we donât want to give it to him, but we also donât want to get gutted in a back alley. âGive him a fake number!â I hear you call, okay and then he says âokay let me call you real quick!â Because they are learning. âGive them your number and then block them!â Okay and then they can plug it into something like Spokeo, pay $10 and know everything about you.

First pick a fake name, I use Jessica, then download the Google Voice app, hook it up to your email, pick a number, and set up a fake greeting with your fake name. You can set it to ring your actual phone like a normal call or text but they donât have real info on you.

Story Time- The Little Mermaid
So, I've seen the latest complaints of a black Ariel.
You know, coincidentally in my high school we had a Little Mermaid musical and the girl chosen to play Ariel was of African and Native American decent. Now this girl (Kachina) had a beautiful voice and sang like a fucking angel, hence why she was chosen. She was one of the sweetest people you'd ever met. No one had beef with her. Most people were thrilled she got the part.
And wouldn't ya know it, a skinny white girl who dyed her hair red since middle school, not as good as a singer, sour because she didn't get the part, said "No one's going to want to see a black Ariel."
Another privileged white girl said "The children will be confused if Ariel doesn't look like she does in the movies."
But of course that night we had a full house. And guess what? The kids didn't care Ariel wasn't white. They loved her. They loved the show. Ariel fucking killed it. It didn't matter that Kachina wasn't of Dutch decent or whatever bullshit.
And everyone--everyone--but those couple racist white fuckers agreed Kachina was the best choice for that roll. She gave out autographs and everything. People told her she should go on America's Got Talent cuz she was so good.
The color of her skin didn't make the show somehow less or take away anything.
Those people complaining about a black Ariel are blatantly racist. And just like that privileged white girl, eventually those racists are gonna have to die mad listening to everyone praise how beautifully Ariel was portrayed.
Thank you for sharing this story. I canât wait to see Halle as Ariel after I heard her singing. Sheâs wonderful and will absolutely slay as Ariel!
I just want to add, I thought it was interesting because when I googled the Ariel casting, I actually found a black man who made a YouTube video with a similar argument that a black Ariel would confuse kids. Like. Okay then. This dude also claimed that the Little Mermaid movie will tank because she wasnât cast as white. ????? Okay??????? Sounds fake but okay???? Itâs interesting seeing how some perspectives can intersect.
I think Halle will rock it. Sheâs a gorgeous woman with a beautiful voice who will make an amazing Ariel. đ§đżââď¸

Introduction
On your marksâŚ
How do I remember all of this vocabulary?
Reading is cool.
If you listened, youâd understand!
Do you ever stop speaking?
The written word
Once you can walk, start to run!
Extra Links/references
Vocabulary is an unavoidable part of language learning. Itâs okay learning that the sentence structure is subject-verb-object or subject-object-verb if you donât know any words that fit into those grammatical structures. So you need to learn some vocab. This could be harder than you realise if you donât approach it right, like learning facts for an exam (When was the Battle of Hastings? 1066.), which could just make it so dull and hard on the brain. Brains arenât really designed for rote memorisation! For example, how do I know that the Battle of Hastings was in 1066? Because here in the UK there was an insurance company called Hastings Direct and they made their phone number into a very brain-drilling jingle. Oh-eight-hundred-double-oh-ten-sixty-six! I will always remember that because one, there was a visual and two, there was an audio connection. Much more effective than a flashcard!
The best initial vocab is probably something called âsemantic primesâ, all those words that are hard to explain, hard to visualise. Theyâre called semantic primes as some very clever linguists discovered that these⌠things, words, are universally expressed in many languages. Semantic primes are words like âIâ, âthingâ, âbigâ. Try explaining what 'thingâ is without using a word that basically means the same thing! Hard, right?Â
A word of warning however, these words are concepts and meaning-based rather than object-based. Hence, the word could mean a slightly different thing in your target language in comparison. But, learning words like these is essential to starting to understand all other words if you need it explained.
There are a few ways to learn vocabulary:
Think in whole phrases with emotions/feelings. For example, to remember 'painâ, the French word for bread, think 'Je mange le painâ (I eat bread) and imagine yourself eating bread.
Imagine visually the word or action. When thinking 'painâ, imagine bread. Your brain will make a stronger connection between 'painâ and the image of bread this way.
Repeat whole phrases again and again. Je mange le pain. Je mange le pain. Je mange le pain until you can say 'Je mange le painâ as quickly as you can say 'I eat breadâ.
Try mixing in your new language. Pain is the new bread in your head. When you see bread, think pain. You havenât got a slice of bread out of the bag, itâs a slice of pain.
Practice writing. A lot. This one is especially true if your language uses a alternative script to your own language (looking at you, Asian language learners!), as it will help you adapt. As well, it will help with the spelling. At school we were always told to look at the word, write the word, check it and then repeat until weâd got it right. And boring as it sounds, it should help if you really are struggling with spelling a word.
Create flashcards and make them as interesting as possible. Pictures, sound if youâre using a computer program that allows you to and colour will always help you remember something. Our brain makes better connections with sound > word and picture > word than consistently translating word > word. Then, carry a set around with you and look over them as much as possible. Little and often is better than 3 hour stints and then nothing for a week!
Use mnemonics. Humourous, shocking, vivid and ridiculous phrases stick in your head better than simple ones. I call it the Hastings Direct effect.Â
In conclusion, I guess what Iâm trying to say is make it as fun as possible. If itâs not interesting youâre not going to remember it!
if you know what i mean when i say there are âangry walking soundsâ in the house, would you smash that reblog button, please?
Weirdly anti-millennial articles have scraped the bottom of the barrel so hard that they are now two feet down into the topsoil
its so wild like âthis generation with no fucking money is learning to prioritize essentialsâ and all these chucklefucks can write is advertisements for these companies
at least our jeans wonât tear at the seams after two washes
FUCK FABRIC SOFTENER ITâS UTTERLY POINTLESS
AND FUCK DRYER SHEETS LITERALLY NOBODY EVER HAS ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM WITH STATIC TO WARRANT PAYING OUT THE ASS FOR THAT SHIT
DO YOU WANT CLEAN CLOTHES? YOU DONâT EVEN NEED TO BUY FUCKING DETERGENT JUST MAKE YOUR OWN* ITâS SO GODDAMN EASY AND 80X CHEAPER
FUCK THE ENTIRE LAUNDRY INDUSTRY *Fuck The Entire Laundry Industry Recipe
1 cup Washing Soda (not Baking Soda. Different things.)
1 cup Borax (not Boric Acid. Also a different thing.)
½ cup - 1 cup grated bar soap (you can use literally anything. I often use Ivory because itâs easy to get and I find it works well, a lot of people like Fels-Naptha, which is an actual laundry bar. Some people use Dr. Bronnerâs. Really does not fucking matter.) After grating your soap, combine all ingredients. Thatâs it. Thatâs the whole thing. Use maybe a Âź cup per load.
^^^ Iâve done this for years now and it works as well as any store bought detergent
WHAT Thank you, tumblr user awfullydull! Your URL does no justice to the good advice you give!
Also you can MAKE your own washing soda very VERY cheaply.
Step one: acquire $5 bag of baking soda from Costco.
Step two: lay that motherfucking baking soda out on a baking tray.
Step three: bake the baking soda on a tray in an oven at 400° for 1 hour (to make the moisture evaporate, leaving washing soda)
Step four: revel in how easy and cheap it is to make your own washing soda, and maybe take a moment to be angry that the industry upcharges the fuck out of something that is so easy to make.
I see some of y'all complaining about static and/or wanting nice smelling laundry. Go to a craft store, find 100% wool yarn balls. If it doesnât come in a ball, ask an employee to make it into a tight ball for you. Wash in the washing machine to make it felted. Remove from washer, add a few drops of essential oil to the ball, allow to seep in. Dry with clothing. Doesnât need to be rewashed ever, and if it stops smelling, add few more drops of essential oil. Bam, reusable dryer sheets.
I love this post so much itâs filled with helpful advice, hatred, saving money, and fucking the system all in one

I was about to be M A D but this is truly good advice.
An important addendum to this!!! Unpaid internships are ONLY LEGAL if: -The work that you are doing benefits YOU and not the company (ex: you being told to fetch coffees for the managers benefits THEM, and does not benefit your education. this is work that would LEGALLY need to be paid.) -There has to be a CLEAR and UNDERSTOOD agreement that the internship is unpaid. If you were led to be expected it was a paid internship and they suddenly were liek âwhat? no it was unapidâ, then the law is on your side to be paid because they didnât make the agreement clear enough. -The work you are doing must COMPLEMENT the work of paid employees there, NOT replace it. -The work you do must be RELEVANT to your topic of education. (Again , going back to the coffee example; the chances that fetching some one coffee is relevant to your education is not likely. this is not allowed.) Always remember these things when taking an unpaid internship; you actually DO have legal rights in this regard! Unpaid Internship are supposed to benefit YOU, not the employer :)
