This is a good idea. I asked her about it and she said she’d think about it and was super appreciative. She was saying a lot of people still have it much worse than her so she’d feel bad, plus I think it would hurt her pride. She didn’t want to accept the money from me either.
Thank you buddy, I appreciate it.
lol yeah I guess I do, but honestly my life usually isn’t like this. I think a part of me is trying to live up to my leftist ideals.
I’m not going to spend a ton of energy on it, but I can help a little.
That’s the response I got when I offered cash to a friend who needed it. Otoh a loan to one who didn’t need it was hard to get repaid. 
This Boehner fellow seems like he’d be a great rep. Pro weed and gun legislation.
I’ve gotten 3 promotions at my current company; if I am adjusting my resume do I put all 3 as separate sections or just put the current position? They are all the exact same job just different titles.
Edit: tagging @MysteryConman on this as I assume he might have some valuable insight.
Do whatever makes you look better to your next employer?
I think its a good idea to show the separate sections, it shows evidence that you are trusted enough to be given more responsibility
Interesting I was going to say the opposite. If you are advanced in your career never pad. I’d include all positions but under one job listing.
To be honest, these kinds of things don’t mean much in getting a job.
I’ll say one thing. Zero typos. I would snap toss a resume with any typos. A lot of people do that. Have it read by 5 people at least.
Yeah that works too.
These days with resumes generally a lot of tjem are screened by people that don’t really know very much (the dreaded “Talent Acquisition” team). You can improve your chance of getting an interview just by using a ton of words from the job posting in your resume.
What would you list as top5/10 most important factors for getting a job (apparently excluding previous promotions)?
Edit: after having received an interview
I’m sure I’m way late to this party, but holy shit, how is this Tom Hanks’s son?
This is going to vary by position but by far the biggest game changer IMO is have a story to tell for every question. Every answer should be framed as “that question reminds me of a time when …” and then you tell a story about a relevant situation, what you did, and how that resulted in a good outcome.
The rest barely matter! 
research the hell out of the company. You would be amazed how many people get to an interview and can’t answer basic things about the firm.
don’t bullshit. If you don’t know say so.
That’s a good one.
Those words piss me off.
All true but it is a filter of how much they care. You are allowed mistakes once you have the job. Not on first impression. Now of course, if I have other reasons to like someone I am not tossing them due to a typo. I’m talking about having to wade through hundreds of faceless applications.
I personally try to give a break to a candidate where they have, like, one typo. I’m supposed to ( and do) care about diversity at our company and getting absolutist about typos is a bit unfair IMO to people where English is their second language. In Toronto that’s a lot of candidates.
How would you know if someone is ESL from a resume?
Yes. I started as a junior position with minimal responsibilities. Mostly in the development sector. Then I was promoted to a senior title with specific project duties including $1B+ total in work. Finally, I was promoted to manager with 3 people under me. I assume I should break it out like that to show a clear difference in each.
I don’t, I’m saying I don’t want to put in a control for all candidates that disproportionately affects our non white applicants.
