**Front Desk Receptionist**

I applied for a Front Desk Receptionist job on Indeed. The latest update is that the employer viewed my application.

level 1 You have to look and act professionalclothes to fit the profession, appearance to fit the profession, ability to toss people out on their ass with a look or words only.

1 Posted by I had an interview that I thought went okay last week but wasn't sure if I'd get it, today they sent me an email saying they were impressed by me but decided to go with a candidate who had more experience, and will keep my resume on file in case anything else comes up. Even though it was a rejection it was refreshing because there's something kind of hurtful and lowkey rude to me about places who make you think you'll hear from them, and never say anything ever again.

1.2k Do not let the unending posts about how a Bachelors degree do no service to you. Anyone with this type of thinking clearly has not worked anywhere that has shown how valuable a degree is. If you find yourself in a warehouse, driving, manual labor position, you know how valuable a degree can be. It can be the difference of someone with 15 years of experience getting paid $18-20 an hour and someone with no experience flying by in promotions.

Sometimes you may not see the value in your degree directly. But any degree can be used to land yourself a job with decent pay to get you some form of experience that employers love to see. Department heads, managers in retail stores, etc. Don't sell yourself short.

I'm not saying this to scare the people without degrees. I just see so many people with their "helpful advice" on the sub that suggests a bachelor's does nothing for you.

So an old employee of mine reached out last month on LinkedIn. He had been struggling lookingfor work for about a month and was reaching out in desperation. Knowing his skilset I linked him with a recruiter that I have a relationship that always recruits in my ex employees field.

Turns out the timing was great and ex employee had a job offer less than 7 days later. It felt good but I didn't think much else of it until today.

Bumped into the guy with his family and got a massive thanks from them all which was a little embarrassing given how enthusiastic it was in public. Anyway it turns out their bank accounts were on fumes with his wife not having work just now and they have gone from full blown worry to a stable family again. They even tried to take me into a shop to buy me a bottle of bourbon as they know I like it but I declined that as I was happy to have done the favour.

I am sharing this as it's made my day and it feels good to share a positive outcome. Also for those of us who are on the sub who are fairly senior it feels good to help people out when it's in our grasp. Don't underestimate the ability to use your network to make things happen. Less than 5 minutes of my time managed to resolve an issue they had been having for weeks.

Posted by 3 I recently was offered a position making more than $60,000 which feels amazing. I graduated more than ten years ago with a degree in Physics but spent a lot of my time working in menial jobs, travelling, living like a tramp, getting temporary gigs, struggling to get skilled work because I wasn't focused on anything. I've had tons of cool experiences but it feels good to be starting to live like a real adult - get a place that I'll probably live in for more than two years, start putting more money away for retirement, not having to penny pinch on every decision. The job is as a Data Analyst at a non-profit that seems really cool. Anyway, recently I put a lot of energy into acquiring more skills and honing my job hunt, and it feels good to be rewarded. Wanted to share since I'm excited. Also, for people struggling for whatever reason, I think it helps to know there is light at the end of the tunnel.

361 After dozens of tech recruiter phone calls that end abruptly once compensation is discussed, I've had it. Yall know you're underpaying folks, and you know most of us wouldn't field your phone calls if we knew the compensation beforehand. So you hold that information hostage and get all salesy on us trying to get that hard close on a phone call commit.

Well, no more ladies. I'm done. If I don't get ballpark salary information from you via InMail, I'm not gonna agree to talking to you further. I'm tired of discussing my current compensation, and being met with "Oh.... well we can't match that, we were thinking more along the lines of [80% of current OTE.] Sorry for wasting the last 17 minutes of your time with businessdouche language and feigned politeness. Let us know if anybody you know would be interested kthxbyeeeeee!"

After well over 500 job applications sent out over 6 months I have finally got a job in my field making good money with decent benefits. But the crazy thing is I never applied for the job I got.

I was working for my brother as a landscaper and we stopped to buy a new trailer. While I was waiting another guy pulled up to buy a trailer and we got to talking about what we do. Gave him my brother's card, explained his services. But then I told him I was an engineer and flat out couldn't find work. So he asked about what I've done and what I'd like to do and finally asked if I could send him my resume, he'd pass it on to his boss. So I emailed him my resume right then, shook his hand, and went back to work. The next morning I got a call, set up an interview, and got the job. Turns out the head engineer was the guy who I met in the trailer park.

I know im lucky in a way but my advice to fellow job seekers, if you can, work somewhere where you can meet and talk to people. Then network like it's your full-time job.

Posted by 61 * so yeah that's where im at right now. training was very disorganized. was not given instruction sheets or anything regarding how to file 500 pages of insurance documents , scan them, send them, and bind them. Lot of terminology involved to understand these processes, but they were all just spouted at me.

* watched someone do it for 8 hrs a day while taking notes on my laptop. there were also many times where they just spouted information that was not explained very well. Despite this, they kept saying " you will only be able to understand it when you get there"

* The hiring manager said in the interview that I wouldn't get it until I actually did it, and that this would take more than 2 wks. her assistant said the same thing. Day 3 on the job after like 10-15 hrs of training and hiring manger says the same thing. So I'm glad she expects me to only get a solid knowledge when I start working insteasd of training but..........

* I still felt like there were many things in training that went over my head despite taking notes and asking questions. These questions were followed up with irrelevant, time consuming info a lot of the times. the Co-workers can tell that certain things go over my head b/c they follow up with " you'll only get it when you see it". they're able to register the blank expression that appears on my face sometimes.

* I feel like I wouldn't have had this experience I was less stressed from obligations outside work that may have allowed me to concentrate a bit more instead of focusing on perfection. That wouldn've just allowed me to simply sit there and take notes on everything without having asked so many questions only to have them followed up with (some but not all) useless pieces of information. what can you do though.However, I was very attentive and rigorously took notes of almost all procedures as well as almost anything that was said to me.

* I feel like i might get fired sometime down the line though just because of how inadequate I feel.

So, after around of 1.5 years working for this IT company, I really got fed with the monotonous projec
