this clearly has nothing to do with tablegate 2k17

hello, everyone! :)
as many of us are aware, the senior class at recolle high school will be graduating soon, and well....
i am part of that class!
i guess because of this fact, i have been thinking that it is maybe time for me to be a bit more independent than i have been, and find a job
this is pretty easy in theory but i find that there is a problem that is maybe not much of a problem to some people but it has been giving me something to think about lol
namely, i do not know what to expect and how difficult getting my first job will be :o
if you have advice, i would definitely like to hear it!!!!
on the other hand, i would like to know what your first job was like, as a blanket sort of thing

ummm, so i guess to make this more concise, i have a few questions!
what was your first job?
what was getting it like?
would you recommend it to someone looking for a first job?

thank you all in advance <3

i dont think it is!
i would imagine that dave would have told me if they were looking to hire right now
im glad it was a good experience, i hope i can find a boss as nice as mikoto apparently is
at least, i never hear anything bad about enchanted blossoms!!!!

jeez
is it really?????
i dont even know what id put on my resume

Oh, you're another of Dave's friends? I must swear, he does seem to know everyone, does he not?

And I hope you can too. There are plenty of good jobs out there, though. But, let us see. It has been a while, though I could show you my old one and we could go over what they expect? It isn't terrifying, really.

girlfriend!
well, in addition to friend, of course
daves a busy guy so of course he knows everyone lol

i would hope its not terrifying!!!!
it seems like everyone has a job or has to get one eventually, regardless of their living situation
i would appreciate that, though :\
its probably not a huge deal so long as you can work what your strengths are on the resume itself, but im pretty nervous
its like im driving for the first time all over :o

Well, that's wonderful. He seems a very nice man, so I hope you two are happy.

And yes, most people do have to acquire one. I don't really have much of a choice, since I immigrated here. It is a bit difficult to live here otherwise, after all. So, I am more than happy to help out, and you have the right idea for the most part. You just play up your strengths and sound normal, and there's lots of options.

lol, thank you!!!!

im pretty normal!!!!!!!!

[ thats. thats exactly how you sound normal, jade. ]

ok... let me give it a shot!
lets see
most of my skills are animal related i think, since i volunteer at the shelter :o
although, you do have to learn how to work with people, since you can get all types looking to adopt at the shelter
im studying physics and know how to work on motorbikes!!!!!
which i presume would not be incredibly different from a car, right?
these things are all so different though, you can see why i am so stumped, i think :\

[She pulled up a copy of a basic resume and sent it with her next message.]

Ok, that's all good, but what you want to do is start with your name, contact information, and your education. All of the things you have are good. It must simply be organized.

The idea is to make it easy for them to find each thing individually, as you can see.

oh jeez, im not sure what i could put down for professional experience :(
if my education is expansive enough, would that help???

You wouldn't be expected to put much down. You're still a student, after all. This is normal for someone's first job, I am told. But you might simply not include that section, as you are still a student.

that is a huge relief!!!!!!!
can i add stickers to my resume?

You could in theory. I wouldn't suggest it, though. They usually prefer "Professional," so flavorful or fun things might be best avoided.

oh wow lol
sounds to me like these corporate folks in suits should learn how to have some fun and express themselves!!!!!!!
stickers make things like these easier to read, too! oh well

I would not disagree, in truth. A little art is not so horrible, but depending upon the type of job you want, maybe save the creativity for after you are hired?

It all depends on the job besides.

haha
well, youre right, i suppose
i think itd be a great way to get to know a potential employee!!!!
but if they want to be stuffed shirts and i want to get paid, i have to put up with it, huh :p

You should create a business like this. I suspect there would be some who would enjoy it. Of course, you must get there first, but it is a dream for the future yes?

For now, paycheck. Tomorrow, dreams.

of course
today, a briefcase, tomorrow...... a lunchable!!!!!
or maybe just frozen pizza, i dont think a lunchable would be enough food for an adult these days :o

They sell larger lunchables, you know. Much larger ones, though they are a bit overpriced honestly. Still, if you want one, you can have it.

i did not know, actually!
although i would think lunchables are still for kids, no matter how large they are lol
are you trying to say i dont have to choose between the two??

And a little overpriced. You can prepare your own fun foods if that is what you want. They're just meant to be convenient. And perhaps you haven't, but it is not as if we have gray hairs yet, is it?

the lunchables are kind of like a metaphor, i guess!
or they are, now, in this conversation, to me
i think

i dont have any grey hairs but i dont want to jinx it either :p

What? You wouldn't like a quick lightning bolt of white to streak your hair? It could be quite striking after all. Gray is not always bad, after all.

not at the moment, no
i like my hair as it is :)
its kind of important to me!

Well, if it comes down to it, there are always dyes, should the unforseen happen. But for now, I should hope it isn't really a worry. We have enough without strange hair colors about, though I have been thinking of dying mine.

[So sue her, the purple from her memories was actually kind of attractive and not garrish.]

:o
what color?
i think if i were to pick an unnatural color, i would go with green

I am thinking of a dark purple sort of color. Something closer my already black hair, so maybe a person might not notice without the right light. I think it could look attractive.

But green, you say? Quite outlandish! Why green?

so like a burgundy!!!!!!
that sounds very pretty
i think you would not be able to get very far without people complimenting you hehehe

oh, i am not so sure why
i just like green!
not a really bright green....
but something kind of deep...like a forest-y green!!!
