  • I might show my ignorance here but do you have 2 oars? Wouldn't you only need one? Are they for different use cases or is one a backup?

    I don't think I could ever will myself to kayak in open water, but I'm very jealous of the adventure you're about to have, the area and weather look stunning!

  • After sampling a fairly large selection, I have decided to make it my mission to find the best cheese and garlic naan in Christchurch. So far, the leading contestant is "Everest" in Woolston, which I bought on a whim one day.

    If anyone wants to make any suggestions for contestants, please do!!

  • Today I will be telling my boss Im quting come Feb. It's not a great time, but in my industry it never is, and I feel like giving more notice is better than waiting for a "good time".

    I don't really owe them anything and my leaving isn't gonna effect the behemoth of a company, but my boss has been very supportive and so I feel like I owe her atleast that much. The nerves are real though

  • Yeah I'm lucky in that regard too tbh, and am now in a position to see it from the other side, an applicant was declined which prompted this post, I know a lot of people who aren't so lucky, especially if you hl can't use your current employer or have a large gap in your work history you can't or don't want to explain

  • It's not quite that simple when you're talking about a company with huge market share like that because the decisions they make go on to effect the market as a whole, look at headphone jacks, or screen notches for example. Not saying this is only apples fault, companies following their lead are just as bad or worse in some cases.

    We can see it happening again with the removal of Sim cards, sure it won't effect me, but if it becomes more industry standard, it will; and I like physical Sims (though that argument is not for here).

    In my opinion it is important to know and criticize market leaders to try to avoid those changes becoming industry norm. To use your example, I would care about what whiteware my neighbours buy if the shitty decisions they make come back to effect me down the road. Look at the criticism of smart TVs and how hard it is to get a top featured "dumb Tvs" now.

  • Most corporate types start with an online form of some sort, or will be completely online if timezones are a factor.

    With regards to calls, ask your closest professional sounding friend to lie for you would be my go to

  • Protip for those job hunting: if you're going to fake your references (and tbh you should), don't do it from the same network. Even sending one while connected to your wifi and the other from your phone on mobile data should be fine (though different devices on different networks would be better). Also don't do one and then immediately do the other.

    The reason is software will show the IP address it was submitted from, and the time the link was accessed, if we get multiple from the same address or one is submitted and then the next is immediately opened then it looks pretty sus.

    Last note, if you put a reference as someone overseas make sure you're not submitting the reference at a weird local time. The amount of references where it is submitted at 2pm local time, but it's a "British referee" is hilarious.

    Best of luck peeps.

  • I feel this. A couple years ago I decided you either get me on signal or SMS, I lost contact with a lot of people after that, but seeing my contacts slowly join and having people slowly start to accept it as a viable messaging app is a good feeling
