This is just another version of "why do you want to work here" (...to make money?) but frustrating nonetheless. For the past 2 years I've been working on cars. Ive been building experience on cars since helping out on jobs as a kid. Its a useful skill, but not a passion, just something to pay the bills. My resume is filled with a variety of manual labor jobs but most recently, working on cars.

My department at the company I work for is closing and my hours have been cut. I made a bunch of phone calls to any labor-like company in my area asking if they're hiring and left a good amount of voicemails. Got a text from a number that i had NOT called, thanking me for the voicemail and asking for an email of my resume. I sent it over and received a response from the email asking why I'm looking to move out of the automotive industry. That would be because I need a job and I need to pay my rent, and most of the auto shops in the area aren't hiring. I don't even know which business this is but its definitely trades related because I only apply to jobs that I'm qualified for.

Anyway I feel like that question is so ridiculous but what is a way to answer it? I am not attached to working on cars, I just happen to have more experience in that industry.

I have a 4 hour (paid) working interview tomorrow morning. I’ll be shadowing the patient care coordinator at the dental office I’m applying for. I have no experience with this position which is fine because they aren’t requiring it, but I’ve never done a working interview before or anything like it! Any suggestions or tips? I am super nervous lol

I had my 3rd and final interview as a care coordinator for a local dental office on Monday, today is Sunday so it’s been 6 days. They’re open Monday-Thursday. I know that I’m one of 3 final candidates, they told me they would get back to me after the final interview but didn’t give a time frame. I thought it had gone well because one of the interviewers was talking to me like I had already gotten the job but now that it’s been almost a week I kind of just figured they probably picked one of the other candidates so BUMMER, but that’s that. My boyfriend is telling me that I should be following up though like you do after submitting an application or doing the first interview. That doesn’t really make sense to me because what are they supposed to say? They need to fill the position so they’re definitely picking someone. Then again, the position requires a lot of follow up so maybe it would look good to check in? I’m not sure.

TLDR: my 21 month old is fine with sitting on the potty but freaks out when I want to have her try to use it. She holds it until I let her up. What do I do???

I started casually introducing the potty to my 21 month old around 18 months. She caught on super quick and went almost 2 days with no accidents. Out of nowhere she became terrified of the potty and didn’t want to be anywhere near it. We took a break and now she’s okay with sitting on it but will NOT use it.

I just saw her in the corner and when I asked her what she’s doing she says "poop" so I go "great! Let’s poop in the potty!" I swiftly put her on it but didn’t try to look panicked or anything that would cause her pressure. She sat on it for a minute and then "all done!". I said no, I know that you need to poop, can you try? Show me how we go poop." She starts trying and I hear that she’s starting to go, and then stopped. She goes "yay!! All done!" I said "great job trying! Let’s keep going, you were doing it!" Cut to immediate tantrum. Screaming, red faced, sobbing "no all done". I get her to calm down and try again, and it’s the exact same thing over again. She’s not constipated, had had plenty of water and fiber-y food today. I don’t know what to do. We’ve had similar situations where I thought maybe she didn’t really need to go and then she jumps up and poops in a corner. I guess I’m just having a hard time understanding because I know she has the ability to understand how to use the potty and I know she can do well, but she is dead set on only using her diapers right now. I know she is young too and I could wait, but it’s hard being approached by my toddler saying "diaper change? Poop?" and still making the decision not to start potty training.

Which song(s) make this true for you?? "Dashboard" was like a gut punch for me lol 🥲 Help me out I’m sure there’s many more of us here with fatherly related issues 🤣
