It is. 4 hours ago, Heidi said: Sounds like a wonderful group -- I'm glad you were able to be vulnerable and safe and heard, and am not surprised that you inspired others by modeling this. I think this will be a powerful group for you. Enduring well is about enduring in a peaceful state, finding the way to peace while enduring. This is sacred work. I'm glad you are not alone. ❤️ There is a lot of toxic masculinity being quietly dropped in favor of wholesome masculinity in this group. 8 Quote Current Challenge "By the Most-Righteous-and-Blessed Beard of Sir Tanktimus the Encourager!" - Jarl Rurik Harrgath Link to comment

Tanktimus the Encourager Posted June 8 Author Report Share Posted June 8 Saw a new job pop up on LinkedIn. Hit the apply button and kept getting loops of "you need an account to apply" and not getting to a place to create an account. I ended up calling the local HR person who listened to the problem, then simply said, "Just email me your resume." 25 minutes after I sent it I got asked to come in for an interview tomorrow. 6 11 Quote Current Challenge "By the Most-Righteous-and-Blessed Beard of Sir Tanktimus the Encourager!" - Jarl Rurik Harrgath Link to comment

That is awesome news. And that HR person will have made a note in your file that you took the time to find a phone number and make a call. This makes you stand out in a very good way.

Sending so many good thoughts. ❤️ I feel good about the company, they seem to do more than the minimum to care for clients on the bereavement end, which is indicative of healthy standards and practices. The interview went really well. Whatever happens, I gave a good interview, and feel better both about the company and the interview itself than the other one I did. 4 hours ago, Scaly Freak said: It certainly should be. Please let us know how it went! I was thinking about you earlier today and hoping for great interview outcomes. Thank you. As I replied to Heidi, the interview went really well. I'm hoping to get this, both because I want out of my current situation but more importantly because I'm excited about the opportunity. I didn't hear anything yet, but as the interview was at 4PM on a Friday, that's not a source for concern. I hope to hear something next week. Sra. Tanque and I had a date night, at least as much of one as we can when I have to work that night. We went out to a nice restaurant and had a good meal. 15 Quote Current Challenge "By the Most-Righteous-and-Blessed Beard of Sir Tanktimus the Encourager!" - Jarl Rurik Harrgath Link to comment
