Need Your Help (Honest Opinion)
Comments (38)tally, That sounds like a good idea in theory and it may be worth a try, but HR people are generally not going to tell you the "whole" truth. It could open them up to lawsuits. My guess would be they will respond with the general "someone else was better qualified" response if you do ask them. I mean if they are looking for someone with Excel experience and you don't have it, it would be nice to know but chances are those things would come out in the interview or application. If you're not getting the job for 'other' reasons... like people think you can't get along with others, or that you aren't smart enough, don't dress well, have bad breath, or that your verbal skills are lacking... they probably aren't going to tell you that. I think samkaren's main problem may be that she is focused on finding a job... any job that seems more permanent. People generally don't want to hire someone who just wants any job. They want someone who wants and is a good fit for their particular job offering. Unless she can express that, she probably won't be seriously considered for the job. She shouldn't be answering the questions for one job the same way she does for another job. For example, her best asset for a filing job could be her strong organizational skills, while her best asset for an accounting job could be her math skills. The fact that she appears to be rehearsing pat answers and not changing them for each job shows her disinterest in this "specific" job and stresses her interest in just getting any job. She may luck out somewhere down the line if the other applicants are doing the same thing but it could be a while....See MoreHelp me Choose a Rug to tie it all in!

Comments (39)Wow, now people who don't just immediately recognize the genius of a contractor are implied to be "not the right class"? Rath-er..... I'm glad this gentleman has so many devotees but in fairness to the OP the original question was about timely communication and professional behavior. I can assure you that even the "delicate geniuses" (to quote Seinfeld) of any profession need to return calls. It only takes a moment to say that they aren't available. im SO glad I lucked out with an absolute gem of a GC. Amazing quality of work (and im picky and experienced with renos) honest as the day is long, and no ego...actually listens and does not dictate. When you find someone like this you make major life decisions based on their availability. We have purchased or passed on flips based on his schedule. At this point in our relationship I would not bid out jobs but even if I did I am sure he would react professionally and not sever a long term association. This has absolutely zero to do with being cost-driven. I could not even tell you if he's low middle or high compared to others. But at one point, before I met him, I was looking. I had many people bid on a kitchen for example. I was new to the area. Believe it or not there were people who thought their reputation preceeded them but it was Greek to me as id only been in town a hot second. As a woman meeting these folks. there was also a fair bit of "mansplaining" about how things should work or why they were the obvious choice, or even the subtle shaming another poster also engaged in if i questioned costs. That's a turn off for me and I would guess many others. At the end of the day, no matter how talented a service provider may be, they still have to make you comfortable enough to give them the job. For me, its an equally bad sign if they don't return calls as if the proclaim "you aren't good enough for me if you talk to anyone else about this job " Again its business....See Moreneed honest feedback - I am on the verge of pulling my hair out!!! lol
Comments (81)Taylor- I scanned through your thread and I think you are suffering from what. Call “micro thinking”. Thus is common thing that happens to folks along the “new build” road. Thanks for the shout out lisachew! So nice of you. This house looks a lot like yours! So, relax. Everything can be blended once all your lighting is permanently installed and you have furnishings and rugs etc. I would go with warmer lumen levels if you are using LEDs. 2500-2800. This helps. Also, window treatments will impact light levels too. So take a deep breath and keep repeating “it will all work out!” Get in touch if you need more assistance. Email me at manganflo@gmail.com. Merry Christmas and Happy New HOUSE!! Flo...See More- 6 years ago
