There are some huge scams going on for the unemployed right now. I got about 6 "interviews". They promise you about $30 to $40 for a data-entry job or clerk job or payroll, something that is a "dream come true job", but understand what an interviewer should ask for. Asking for your identifying information or bank account info is a huge red flag. All of them wanted to use an instant chat: Teams, Google Hangouts, Telegram, or Skype.
Literally, they asked the same exact questions, so they are obviously given a template:
1. Have you worked from home before?
2. What interests you about this role?
3. What motivates you?
4. What are your goals for the future?
5. What can you bring to the company?
6. What qualities make a good leader?
7. Have you been in the military before?
8. Are you currently employed?
9. Do you have a printer, copier and scanner?
10. Are you seeking employment in a company of a certain size?
1. How long do you intend working for this company ?
2. How many hours are you willing to Work per day? (4 hours Minimum per day or 45 hours Maximum per week)
3. What time range?
4. When would you be available to start if HIRED?
5. Payroll Interval? (Weekly or Bi-weekly)
6. Payroll Method (Direct deposit, Pay Check, Wire Transfer or Credit card transfer? )
7. What is the name of the Bank which you currently operate with so as to see if it tallies financially with the company's official salary payment account ?
8. Do you have a Credit card..?
9. What's your mobile network provider ?
10. Do you have Professional Reference? ( Give me two phone Contacts and name )
Advice is to check the company website and LinkedIn for the name interviewing you. Call the company and see if they are interviewing. And do not give any personal information out at all.
I even had the interviewer asking for my credit cards and promising they would pay them off. What company does that? None.
Never ever mention "divorce" in your marriage. Should never even be part of either of your vocabulary. "Communication", "Compliance", "Compromise" are keys to making sure it works. You married her. She married you. Figure it out and make it work.
I didn't follow this advice and now I have a broken heart for the rest of my days.
I only have 4 years of "experience" but I realised early on I should never use the D-word no matter whatever the situation. It's the only thing that has kept my marriage.
Now we are on a better path and more understanding of each other.
i used to have it on my resume, but ultimately took it off because it wasn't technically a paid gig, though they paid for my housing and food every so often. i was sponsored through an organization to teach ESL in Israel to mostly Ethiopian Israelis and Israelis. Loved the job though it did make me realize how much I hated teaching. However, I accidentally got into web design while I was there and it ended up a valuable skill later on. I ended up living in Israel for about a year.
In the beginning, I used to post my blog posts anywhere I could or thought was relevant.
For the longest time, Twitter was where it was at til they banned my account a year ago after someone logged in and posted random crypto shit, and they won't unban me as of X.
Occasionally, I post on my Facebook or LinkedIn. And once in a while on Hacker News, if relevant, though rare.
Other than that... with 2 to 3 million visits a month from around the world, along with hundreds of contributing authors and marketing agencies, they tend to share everything.
With an existence of over 10 years, the website has its own reputation and fan base, attracting thousands of new visitors every month. Its focus is on jobs, careers, and the workplace. To date, I think 800 articles are my own, and the other 4,000 belong to other people.
If you're talking about where I share posts... a combo of Facebook and LinkedIn.
X banned my only account that I hadn't accessed in over a year and refused to unban it, as their unban process is only automated with no manual reviews, so I'm not interested in trying to rebuild my followers. Fortunately, Twitter aided in growing my audience to around 2 million visits a month, which has since grown to 3 million without it, so I rely on my visitors to keep sharing their articles to their own Twitter accounts.
It is very likely that plays were performed by traveling minstrels who had knowledge based on Ancient Greek and Roman mythology, as those stories would've been known and passed down, such as portraying Alexander the Great, Odyssey, and the Trojan Wars.
Oral tradition was past down from generation to generation, but then entertainers/performers would spread that knowledge. Children likely enjoyed those shows. They must've been as creative as a few props to bring about the imagination.
It gets crazy for people in nursing homes and hospitals that have dementia at times. I used to work security and they'd all line up along the wall and mingle, while waiting to get their medicine. Then they'd take their meds around 4:30 to 5 PM, go have a seat at the table, and eat. Some were assisted.
For the ones who liked to wander, they'd go back to their rooms afterwards, and then not more than 30 minutes later, they'd be lined up again, and have to be told that they just ate and to go back to their rooms.
But breaking it down... food is life, it is what we do when we are around family or friends. It does bring back some memories of earlier times, when certain smells arise.
My grandfather, who had dementia... towards the end of his life, he remembered two very specific meals, which were always his favorite: meatloaf and mashed potatoes and veal parmesan. Fortunately for him, his very last meal was the meatloaf, although pureed, but he smiled as I fed him. He then closed his eyes and never opened them again, dying three days later.
