"It's quite good, if you like depressing stuff.

It was more depressing for me than it normally would've been because...nah, not going to go into it."

You had me at "depressing".

Holy Diver is an NES game too.

Also, that name being obnoxiously long reminds me of the Law & Order CI episode named "Please Note We Are No Longer Accepting Letters of Recommendation from Henry Kissinger". The L&O shows don't display the episode title so it's not very obvious, but it will be if you look up an episode list. It's far, far longer than any other episode name, for some unknown reason.

I bought clothes today.

The shirt was too small and the pants are too big

Anyone have tips on resume writing for someone that only ever had summer jobs and little volunteer work? I'm pretty sure said jobs leave me with halfway decent credentials in regards to programming [Visual Basic], but my main credentials are still school related, and I haven't really figured out how people put that on their resume.

And in case of interviews, what are questions I should really watch out for? For example, what are the "trap" questions for which a "wrong" answer seals your fate against getting the job?

Would some PowerPoints turned pdfs from my colleges resume and interview workshops help.

RedEyedAbyss · 2011-10-11 22:46:14

Maybe. Though advice on tailoring a resume to a specific job would be definitely more helpful if that's what they contain.

delta534 · 2011-10-11 22:53:02

Well lets see if the would and because my internet is being a pain tonight for uploading data, here are a few Google doc links

RedEyedAbyss · 2011-10-11 23:00:39

Hmm...interesting that they say not to use templates. And the questions seem like stuff I could practice on.

Well, I'll have to examine it in more detail when I'm not so busy. Annoys me that on top of all my freaking courses, I still have to think about job applications.

Chagen · 2011-10-12 08:42:40

Well, guys, I'm off to take the PSAT.

All Nines · 2011-10-12 09:20:34

Good luck. Hopefully you do well, if you're gonna shove upperclassmen out of their usual rooms. :P

Speaking of college preparations, I'm mulling over an idea for my college essay in my head. I was thinking I would make it a metaphorical short story, from the perspective of a training medieval soldier, or an apprentice in some antiquated trade. Not quite sure how to go about it; I can't make the protagonist (my self-insert) look too much like a novice.

1. This place continues to bore me, and I don't know why.

2. The mobile site shows who started each thread and this one makes me miss Vorpy.

Malkavian · 2011-10-12 12:08:52

Chagen: I was helping my sister study for those the other day.

RedEyedAbyss · 2011-10-12 13:12:21

^^Mah boi, this peace is what all true warriors strive for!

Malkavian · 2011-10-12 13:50:15

and I just bought mah comic con tickets.

All Nines · 2011-10-12 19:58:12

I'm reading this really fucked up thread in /adv/ right now where I'm not sure if the OP is trolling or not, but I'm still reading because they're posting sweet pictures.

Crimson · 2011-10-12 19:59:05

^Rule of thumb when it comes to /adv/ (and 4chan in general): if it looks like trolling, it probably is.

ninjaclown · 2011-10-12 20:01:46

At the risk of my sanity, could you show us?

All Nines · 2011-10-12 20:03:40

Kinkajou · 2011-10-12 20:13:19

>That feel when you find a site that hosts links to toku downloads and you don't know where to start.

All Nines · 2011-10-12 20:36:42

It just hit me: I should totally grab the outfit to cosplay as Takizawa Akira. It shouldn't take too long at all to get the clothes, I look a good deal like him in my opinion, and I already have a wig that works better for this than for the cosplay I bought it with!

:DDDDD

Cosplays to use for the coming year: Hei, Takizawa, and probably Tyki Mikk in his less formal outfit. After that, I'm not sure. I need one more, and I don't want to fall back on Zoro again.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-10-12 21:04:13

I could try to cosplay as Shinji Ikari with glasses.

All Nines · 2011-10-12 21:49:55

And I'm officially dropping Gankutsuou and Steins;Gate. -shrug-

Malkavian · 2011-10-12 22:06:22

I could do... Zelos if I dyed my hair I guess. He also has long curly-ish hair and is skinny.

^=/

All Nines · 2011-10-12 22:20:44

Well, I might give SG another chance; it was starting to get interesting. But Gankutsuou is a no-go.

Bastion · 2011-10-12 22:58:51

I worry for this country sometimes.

The mobile site shows who started each thread and this one makes me miss Vorpy.

Doesn't she still post on your hangout?

Central Avenue · 2011-10-12 23:04:57

Yeah, but not nearly as often as she posted here.

Icalasari · 2011-10-12 23:08:19

I miss Vorpy! ;.;

Tell Vorpy to make a forum and invite us so we can hang out! ;.;

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-10-13 03:13:13

Argh. I'm looking at colleges again.

I thought I would only have to do this once...

Central Avenue · 2011-10-13 03:14:53

I thought I would only have to do this once...

That's what she said

Howdy, Stranger!
