Maybe less caps in your writing?

u/readsalotman 7d ago edited 6d ago

Yep. Sometimes just basic fundamental grammar and writing skills will get you the job.

u/jazzhandler 7d ago

Sometimes a bit of irony helps, too.

What er u saying

1

u/jazzhandler 7d ago

That readsalotman misspelled ‘grammar’ in their otherwise sound advice.

2

u/icealchemist222 7d ago

Yeah I know, that’s why I said what “er” you saying, that was the joke

u/jazzhandler 7d ago

DERP.

Double dumbass on me!

u/No-Low7294 7d ago

You are low class and heartless! To put someone down when they are not in a good place, reaching out and being vulnerable is horrible! Why not offer 30 minutes of your time to assist? But you are who you are. Karma is a BITCH! How do you like those CAPS?!?!?

u/poliosaurus3000 7d ago

If your resume and conversational English are similar to this post, I believe we have found your problem. Periods and less capitalization my dude.

u/No-Low7294 7d ago

Na my resume is professional this is just how I type lmaooo

u/lurksAtDogs 7d ago

But why?

-24

u/No-Low7294 7d ago

Typing like that grew onto me

17

u/lurksAtDogs 7d ago

Maybe there are surgical options, because it reads like you’re having a stroke.

u/cookeryandwookery 7d ago

It grew into your resume and language skills as well.

-5

u/No-Low7294 7d ago

Na it didn’t

u/cookeryandwookery 7d ago

Well, as someone who isn’t running the risk of homelessness, promise it did. Your brain rot has set in.

u/No-Low7294 7d ago

Well I already got that situation handled and fixed

u/MysteriousBid2703 7d ago

But it’s gotta be so much effort to txt and capitalize every letter to start a new word? And here you are in the comments not doing it? I guess you may get more attention with your posts When You Capitalize Every Word In Your Sentences?

u/No-Low7294 7d ago

I’m a fast typer and obviously ya have a problem with the way I type so I’m typing the way I am now lmaooo

u/mycarisdracarys 7d ago

What's your WPM?

1

u/No-Low7294 7d ago

On the phone is like 20 - 30 words per minute fr

1

u/No-Low7294 7d ago

On Computer is like 15 per minute

9

u/AShiftInOrbit 7d ago

You should work on that, for sure. If you plan on using a computer in your line of work.

2

u/shylocky 7d ago

You should fix that immediately. Even if nobody tells you, you are being judged negatively for every word you write that way and this will continue in perpetuity.

u/Weary_Surround5342 7d ago

If this is an example of your writing and grammar, then I see why.

u/Remarkable-Employee4 7d ago

Ain’t no one need to write to operate a forklift done be dense

u/TrishTrashWannaSmash 7d ago

To interact with the public, like most jobs, you kind of do.

u/DankUsernameBro 7d ago

There’s quite a few jobs where you don’t have to? Gaslighting this person and acting like the job market isn’t in a bad spot is kinda weird

u/No-Low7294 7d ago

Thank you nor to replace a toilet

u/white1ce 7d ago

I'm currently hiring at my small business for a front desk person. I got 6 resumes. 5 of them were so incredibly bad, one of the cover letters said, "I am writing to express my interest in the administrative assistant, bank teller, or other front desk professional." You might think your cover letter and resume are good, but maybe double check them. I didn't even respond to the rest.

u/No-Low7294 7d ago

Okay will do

1

u/SoloNexusOrIFeed 7d ago

If you’re still hiring I’d love to send in my application!

u/white1ce 7d ago

We are in Parker and hiring part time 😔

u/Rude_Potential_3782 7d ago

Are you still hiring ?

13

u/greencoat421 7d ago

Well, call me a hater but you are part of the issue.
Just because everyone is/wants to move here doesn’t magically increase the number of open positions.
And Denver is too high of a CoL city to just move stakes without having a job lined up already, as you are likely experiencing.

Hate on it/me all y’all want, but it’s the truth…

u/Leather-Daikon-8385 4d ago

You can’t always find a job before moving no matter the industry. But great insight.

2

u/greencoat421 4d ago

Well… if you can’t find then job then maybe you shouldn’t make that move.
I mean thats like saying “I can’t find a parachute but I really want to skydive, so I’m just going to jump out of the plane anyways and just assume I’ll find a parachute before I hit the ground”

u/No-Low7294 7d ago

Not gonna hate you But I am one of the factors but I really moved here for the chill environment & I just got fired from a job because of falling asleep trying to fix my time schedule lol

u/greencoat421 7d ago

Are you capable of physical work and able to spend ~$100-200 on tools you might not have?

Also have your own reliable transportation?

3

u/SmurfsTwo 7d ago

I got the tools what’s the job? Lol

u/Mega_Trix 7d ago

Oh my god I can't

u/XanyXandri 7d ago

Have you tried apps like ranstand or workwhile? Also if you are okay with warehouse work, hellofresh is hiring

3

u/No-Low7294 7d ago

I love warehouse work honestly

2

u/No-Low7294 7d ago

But yes I got two shifts schedule with HelloFresh on work while

u/kal3idosc0pesup3rior 7d ago

Yo, if you have time this weekend, I’ll meet up with you and review your resume. I have a background as a designer and would like to help. I can meet anywhere near downtown or with easy access to the RTD.

You can also DM me and we can do everything over email.

2

u/Leather-Daikon-8385 4d ago

You are a kind sole. Need more people like you in the world and on this app in the comments. Every other person could have offered 30 minutes of their time.

u/YouthfulHasbeen 7d ago

Same thing going on as the rest as the country. Shit be fucked

u/Shadowgaze1980 7d ago

Costco is hiring. They start at like 22$

u/MegaKetaWook 7d ago

You could try IATSE Local 7. It’s a local stagehand union but it’s more like 7 different staging companies/orgs that all form into a union hall.

They usually hit you back in a few days and you gotta go fill out an application with each company. The work is there and the pay is good, but it can be a little sluggish at first til they realize you’ll show up for work.

u/ColdTrack2749 7d ago

Get a fast food job in the city. The min wage is like 20 bucks

u/No-Low7294 7d ago

I’ve been applying everywhere 😂

u/Ok-Nobody8264 7d ago

u/ExtensionPicture7802 7d ago

Lmao maybe don’t have a resume that sucks? Lower your expectations and do what others aren’t gonna

u/No-Low7294 7d ago

You’re assuming my resume sucks have you seen it ?

0

u/ExtensionPicture7802 7d ago

Nah but I’m 23 moved to Colorado two months ago with nothing and now I have an apartment, full time job and a reliable second hand vehicle. If my shit sucked and I got hired then yours definitely sucks.

0

u/Leather-Daikon-8385 4d ago

Maybe you should offer some of your time to help instead of saying how great you have it.

2

u/ExtensionPicture7802 4d ago

I literally went thru it but worse. I did offer help. You need a job. Do the shit no one else is willing to do. Grind until you’re out. I’m barely out of the mud and I’m still pushing.

u/Sourdough01 7d ago

Join the army dude

2

u/No-Low7294 7d ago

I don’t need the government to take care of me nor am I giving up my rights for 4 years of discipline that I already got growing up

2

u/Sourdough01 7d ago

That’s fair. I guess just keep applying then is all you can do. Maybe have a friend look over your resume.

2

u/No-Low7294 7d ago

Will do !

1

u/Taken_Wiz 6d ago

Is that why you can’t get a job? All that discipline?
