So you are saying companies stopped hiring because of Tariffs? Where are you seeing this happening? I wouldn't want to work for any company that stopped their projects based on that but since you made it up, its irrelevant.
They may be temporary hiring stops, but I guarantee it's happening at many smaller/mid size businesses. I know one company that had to let 10 people go so they could afford to bring things into the country that were already on the water. Think about it, if you have $10M of goods on the water from China right now, it will cost the company $25M to bring them in. My company is at a standstill with production.

Is this a new phenomenon ? Seems layoffs have occurred in 70’s’ 80’s 90’s 2000’s and now again. Maybe just maybe companies are realizing their employee bloat and not tariffs are the reason? Many here who are totally against these tariffs prefer the country going bankrupt? Your 401k’s won’t be worth two sh—-ts in that scenario regardless. Or do you not subscribe to the thinking that the USA has been screwed over by other countries because those in charge were basically happy just rolling along? Good Luck … the guy with the Engineering degrees will be just fine. It is one field where jobs will still be in demand.
The US hasn't been screwed by other countries. The US screwed itself by chasing the cheap labor and moving all it's manufacturing out of country.

You clearly don't understand negotiating at all.
Think people say its not transparent because you have the press secretary and commerce secretary saying the tariffs aren't negotiating ploys in the morning then the president saying they could be an hour later. But generally, I agree that most of this was stated upfront.

I have trouble with clients who are women because many have been on meds for over a decade and they are zonked.
Just curious how you would be in a position to know whether your clients are on meds. Are you in the medical/psychiatric field?

what was the actual point of this post in this thread.

And by posting- are you also saying you allow articles like this to be a part of your thought process?

Its easy - things work less and less because people are going crazy.
People of today wonder how anyone could have thought owning slaves ever made any sense.
In the future people will wonder how people today could not describe what a woman is and kids could be mutilated .
In economics people will wonder how a successful nation broke its border intentionally to become global welfare office and also sent its industries to a foreign enemy .

Truth is that psychology is a crippled and decaying field - many studies exposed as fraudulent the past years.
They were corrupted to confuse people about right/wrong and true/false.
That's why the more "mental health" there is the more broken people are.
US cant survive as an insane asylum.

Right now politicians and do-gooders are trying to rescue deported violent gangsters.
That's absolute insanity and the same people see can see good people trying to fix things as the "real problem."
Fortunately a majority of people have been waking-up to the crazy - just not so much in urban centers where they legalized shoplifting - more crazy - good luck fix an economy where that's normal .

Clinton could relate to the everyday man (and woman) - genuinely seemed like a good hearted, down-to-earth guy you'd like to have a beer with at a backyard bbq

O was captivating during his speeches - smart as a whip, but also seemed laser focused, (similar to Vivek in his approach, but not as talkative)
Clinton was teflon, dude could almost get away with anything. He also got to a surplus instead of a deficit.

Well I agree- when the guy with dementia was running the country we had COVID and 15% unemployment and he printed money to hand out $1200 for not working.

It's working beautifully.

We saw it in Wisconsin.

As the economy circles the drain and people are sent to gulags, read from your pages. Your Bible- not those Two Corinthians, but projection- your cult leader is demented, so call others demented.

Your cult leader can't ever win a majority of the vote, so criticize those who do.

Rinse, repeat, and lose seats in PA and IA once held by the cult.

How's those egg prices? Oh right the demented felon wants to import them with his Chinese hats.
Ahh the old cult adage, again please keep referring to people who voted for a guy because they like his policies as a cult

Worked really well for you guys last time
Lost all seven swing states, house, Senate, and have a deficit in the Supreme Court

But again, as I’ve said, previously, don’t let me talk. Any sense to you guys. Please continue with the calling and insults

Exactly what was written. Our leaders somehow allowed it, one actually encouraged it. That all inclusive world is a nice dream but that is all it will ever be the way things have been for quite some time. Those thinking we should follow the thinking ( as Europe did) that a system change is good and would benefit better pray and take a hard look around. Our current system of democracy is by no means perfect …our society is still not perfect but our Constitutional Republic certainly is one where your choice of Freedoms does give all it’s “ citizens” a chance to succeed in this life.

And absent of NAFTA, he did it pretty damn good job

you are assuming that we know what the definition of a woman is. Apparently that's not so easy for some these days.
Still amazed watching some videos where people can’t describe what a woman is

But somehow the cult’s guy got in…. Go figure it out… he may be a blowhard and a BS er but does get **** done as another pointed out. Maybe his opponents and their lemmings aren’t as bright as the guy who is now coming out to save the party . It ain’t JB either.

Who knows how the tarriffs will work out
Could be good, could be bad, could be somewhere in the middle

The great thing is about those I voted for him is that we have four more years with the guy that we believe in

They can call us racists
Cult
Bigots
Idiots
Honestly, who really gives a ****

Our guy got in and we’re happy
That’s really all that matters

Hillary - Yeah, but he didn’t need her, the guy went to Oxford and is really freaking intelligent. I guess it bolstered him because of her resume as well, but she didn’t make him any smarter

Monica - I’m sure there were others, and he’s a good looking guy, so I’m not sure why he would settle for her, especially being that he had everything to lose, and she had nothing to lose

Either way, anyone that judges the guy based on that as an idiot. He produced while in office and got results, which is really all that matters in the big picture.

BTW- back to the real thread- When looking for jobs online- I see people mention job boards like ziprecruiter/Indeed/LinkedIn

I am a huge fan of LinkedIn as it is one of the few sites that really lets a candidate search for very relevant jobs. The others- like ZR and Indeed- you may be able to put in some very high level searches but it does not allow for industry, level of experience etc. An IT Executive is going to have to funnel through hundreds of jobs looking past the ones for completely different industries.

LinkedIn- also has the social impact. You can see a job posted and who you may know who works there and reach out to them for a referral.

I know a lot of them over 20 years - have about 15 on FB last time I looked. Back around 2010 I spent a night online with a 21 yr old girl in Europe who wanted to cut her breasts off that night.

The disorder is real (but tiny population) and should never have been politicized as normal (and the critics treated as the real disordered (phobics). Its a bonding disorder like when a baby monkey is put with ducks and acts like a duck. Yong geese follow humans they were imprinted by and feel the human is their mother.

I've known 60 lb woman who "feel" fat and how people feel about something can be very wrong and dangerous. Playing with them and giving them dead wallets of transplanted flesh a criminal surgeon says is male genitalia is very cruel. People who can do that are budding Nazi surgeons. When a small number of damaged people is used to break institutions like military its done for subversion and nor "compassion." Make the military honor trans disordered and normal people quit and thats the goal. Then more broken people get brought in and the military goes down the toilet of history.

In any case I'm kinda done with sports and will not be in forums too much so all the people with their eyes rolling back in their heads be left to their bubbles. But - make sure to watch Tucker with Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong (YT or Rumble). Its the best of times and the worst of times as Dickens said. Most news is garbage and people need the pods

Cigar Willie is without a doubt the Chauncey "Chance" Gardiner of US Presidents. The guy inherited Reagan's Cold War victory over the Soviet Union, Bush Sr's rebuild plan of Eastern Europe, the Internet Industrial Revolution/dot.com stock market frenzy, and a GOP House that put the brakes on his initial wild-eye spending plans. Unfortunately most of Tinks Clintoon's so-called government spending restraint gutted our Defense. Then he got out just in time before the dot.com bubble crash and left GWB a recession, the 9/11 attacks after he re-armed al Qaeda and let bin Laden go free, and last but not least started the subprime mortgage bubble.

Go to Coachella. Whoever is saying that isn't far off. Gay trannie heaven.
Well, that is not what I would call a true representation of America. Is what happened at Woodstock really a true representation of America? Imagine how bad the old timers were thinking these drugged out lazy bums were going to amount to nothing and have ruined their lives.
What about Gay Pride in GV NYC?

The point is that the media makes it sound like there is a large % of every high school that is transitioning and that it is being hidden from parents.
It just isn't true.

I do feel that the Biden admin allowed it to get out of hand. Yes, everyone should be exempt from bullying and discrimination but males should not be competing against females no matter how they identify. A person at work should not be penalized if they walk into a team meeting and use the term "hey guys" - or if they mistakenly use he/her instead of they.

It went off the hook.

But Mr Trump does know how to push buttons. And he does that well.

The numbers of people who consider themselves such is going up and up, all due to woke'ism. Kids minds have been infested. Check out Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore. Over half the kids came out as *****. That's not even statistically possible...unless kids are getting groomed.

And yea, Coachella is a great representation of where Gen Z is.

It is our own fault definitely and any reasonable , sane person , with a modicum of common sense person understands this .I agree wholeheartedly that our chieftain leaders screwed the pooch badly. These companies chased the almighty $$$$ . I don’t blame them in the least. They use what would easily be considered slave labor in today’s world. Unfortunately , countries took advantage but that is our fault totally . I also say let it play out. We will know who our friends and who are enemies are . It just ain’t the Chinese. I would further suggest those who have and continue to oppose his economic and plan to clean up the dreck that JB allowed or was it the Island boy?

This and Al's post about customizing your resume for each application...That is a big NO NO NO - AI and good recruiters will pick up on this almost immediately. It is good to ask chatgpt to compare your resume and the JD and if you are missing anything or that you should highlight certain experiences. But NEVER use chatgpt to to match keywords. Also- if and when using AI to write your resume for a job- tell it very specifically, not to change any details.

There two things that I also suggest. If your experience goes to pre 2000...Only itemize jobs with start end dates that started after 2000. For anything prior to that- have an "Additional Experience" section and add those in at the bottom with no dates.
And NEVER put a date graduated on a resume or application.
Great advice. And I agree about the key words. Always felt an applicant was trying to scam me. I know why people do it, but I can’t stand it.

Like when Hunter had his phony charity **** down?🤡🤡🤡😂

As I said, clown car.
Don’t bother engaging the carnival barker’s fan boys. At least Biden, who I agree was terrible, didn’t start a trade war with China we can’t win. These ppl are so engaged in the petty partisan Fox News crap ( left/right, Dem/Rep) which I view as obsolete. They value the opinions of Jesse Watters, Laura Infraham & Sean Hannity who are stooges of the Zionist-controlled corporate media. Zionist-controlled Trump wants another war for Israel, this time Iran. They’re out there with the usual builshit about how Iran is weeks away from nukes ( I heard that two decades ago) and how we should be concerned about Iran. a country on the other side of world who is no danger to the US. Meanwhile these cowards will hide behind their iPhones while young Americans get sacrificed at the Satanic alter of Netanyahu. They’ll be out there regurgitating what they hear on Fox News. They have no ability to think outside their obsolete partisan box. It’s no longer left vs right it’s who really controls our government & it’s becoming increasingly obvious to those paying attention it’s not us

Yes those policies like 15% unemployment or stagflation?

Maybe gulags

No how about cancelling cancer research

Such brilliance, that literally everyone who works for him says he's an idiot.

When was the last time your cult ever won a majority of anything? Before RU ever had a bowl win?

How's that SCOTUS deficit doing these days? How many more 9-0 slap downs do you need, you can't even get the people you buy off to agree with you. Sad!
