I just finished an interview and I’m pretty sure I was caught inflating my resume….

So.. real talk. I’ve been unemployed for 3 months now and it is difficult to find the energy to apply sometimes. So there were a couple applications that I sent through super nova speed without rereading what AI generated. Obviously stupid, but I must have been exhausted and an a rampage. This aside, I’m pretty sure inflating your resume a bit is something everyone does right…

Anyways… the hiring manager asked me specifically about adobe analytics and if I’ve used it before or Google analytics. The way she asked… it felt odd. Like she either already knew or was trying to catch me maybe? Basically I told her no, because Ive never used it and I forgot it was on my resume. Then I told her I used Google analytics which I do not have on my resume and that I’m happy to learn new softwares and even enjoy it and am good at it etc etc.

The problem is… what was on my resume did not match what I said.

Also, she didn’t have her camera on—said it wasn’t working—so now I’m even wondering if she was using that information to specifically cross check it.

Am I being paranoid? Is there ANY chance in hell that I move to the next round…?

I feel stupid

I’ve been searching for 3 months. It’s been on and off… I’m starting to have more conversations with recruiters. Part of me feels like I’ll never have a job again… I’ve been going for project manager or implementation specialist jobs. I basically have a few years experience as an admin, project manager and JR developer experience. I have a BA in Communications and completed a software engineering and cloud computing program a couple years ago. I kind of just feel like I can’t compete with all the large company layoffs since my most recent experience is with small dev shops. Any ideas? Or feedback? Would anyone be available to look at my resume?

I had a really dark day yesterday and really need support on how to navigate this… I currently live in an area that I don’t want to and am unsure what roles to go for. I’ve always been interested in retail, like site merchandising or buying, but I don’t have direct experience and I’m afraid people won’t see the crossover of my skillset. Do I just focus on project coordinator/project manager roles?

Also, anyone happen to know about ediscovery? I’ve become interested in that as well.

Basically I’m starting to feel all over the place because I’m starting to feel like I’ll never get a job again and am desperate for anything.

Thoughts?

Hi, I'm looking for a new job and am curious to learn more about eDiscovery. Does anyone have experience in this field? And what kind of background do I need to get into this?

Hi… (35F) This guy and I have been talking on bumble for about two weeks. Things escalated quickly… very sexual conversations and sending each other pics kind of thing. This is something I’ve never done before, but for whatever reason, I either decided to give it a try this time, am super into this guy or am feeling like I dont have much to lose anymore (probably a mix of all three) if I really am going to get the things I want out of life.

Idk, mostly I’m just super into him. However, as a woman, I do feel more hesitant to engage in this dynamic because I have the perspective that men use women for sex and toss them aside when they don’t get it and lose interest. I know this is a terrible perspective but I am working to change this mindset. Either way, I’ve allowed this sexual dynamic to go on and am enjoying it, but have started to have these questions of, are we ever going to meet or is this just an online fling? I’ve brought it up to him and he’s pulled me out of my head and reassured me that wasn’t the case but I’m the other hand, he hasn’t made or suggested plans to meet up or call me. Part of me thinks we’re both a little scared to move this to a new phase but the other raging female side of me is 35 and wants what I want out of life…

Honestly it’s tough because I think we’re both kind of… not boring… not simple… just focused and we like to keep our lives fairly regimented. Like workout, eat, sleep, work. Do it again. I have an adventurous side that makes me want to get up and travel and go out, and he seems to be a dedicated student at the moment—which is attractive. But our conversations are mostly sexual because check-ins are hey, how are you, good, day was good, gym, sleep, etc. I think you get the idea.

Last night I gave him a compliment related to his personality/dedication. He brushed it off with a “hahaha” and when I got a little short and distant he came back with a “ya days kinda boring would rather see you naked” kind of comment. I’m starting to feel like a moron as I’m typing this out.. but hey. I’m also a super sexual person… and I’m into this guy… and I want to see where it goes… but I’m not interested in wasting time. Which he has explicitly sajd himself.

Am I getting too eager? Do I just keep riding this out…? I really like him and want him to follow through but I know that’s out of my control, and I’m not the kind of girl who is going to be like, let’s meet! I like being courted.. and the “traditional” dynamic.

He asked me how I was this morning and I just gave him a “good” and he hit me back with a “good”.

So I guess my strategy has kind of been to pull back a little. See if he notices and does anything?

Idk… thoughts? I’m not interested in playing games but I’m also not interested in continuing the conversation if this isn’t going anywhere.

But honestly, I am taking the stance of, if a man wants it, he’ll come and get it, and if he doesn’t, that just means he doesn’t want me, which at least I’ll know to move on.

Help!
