If there’s anything I can finesse, it’s a resume, interview and pay rate.
Please help? I need these skills?
Come my child…
LIE. LIE. LIE. (By lie, I mean embellish) I’m going to tell you why. I lied on my resume to get the job that made it so I didn’t have to embellish anymore. By embellish I mean make your positions seem more important than they are. Chances are you’re not getting paid enough for what you do anyhow. The system is definitely going to play you so you gotta make a move too.
Use businesses that are no longer in business (Finesse #1) Everyone has those establishments in their cities that went out of business; Fridays, hospitals, dennys, etc. USE THEM. I’m a HR Manager, I’m not going to dig for a reference from a closed business. Not in this lifetime.
Use your friends who are employed in corporate America as references. (Finesse #2) List them as former supervisors or managers. Pick your friends with professional phone voices who can gas you up in a corporate manner.
Research the pay rate for the company, city and position. (Finesse #3) They may be offering you 25K to be a store manager when in reality store managers in your exact city (or their employment averages) are making 35K. Do not be afraid to challenge a salary. It shows that you also did your homework on the position and the company.
Chaotic good.

She’s actually a genius! She should write a life book I would buy! Always the plug!
@kimreesesdaughter oh snap I’m going to tweak up my resume 😂👌🏾 do you recommend that I use a PDF form for a resume?
Yes! Definitely use a PDF. I say this because, just in case you overlook any typos or errors, they won’t be as obvious. When recruiters open resumes in Word, here come all them damn squiggly red lines 🙄
what about background checks? thats gonna show us all for who we really are
Y'all are honestly overthinking this. You either take the tried and proven advice or you don’t and continue to make minimum wage at a job that should be paying you $16/hr.
Adulting is a finesse. If you don’t learn how to make things work for your advantage, you will not survive in this world or live the way you want to.
& one more time, BACKGROUND CHECKS ARE FOR CRIMINAL HISTORY! The only thing I would tell you to never lie about. You can go to any staffing agency and they would tell you to hype up your resume.
GOLD
Now how would YOU finesse an interview
I posted a video on it!
Key point: Practice!! How do you practice for an interview? Glassdoor.com (USE THIS). Look at common interview questions for the position/field you’re trying to get into. Practice answering questions using the S.T.A.R method.
Situation (explain the issue)
Task (describe YOUR responsibility with the issue)
Action (what did YOU do?)
Resolution (what was the end result?)
Research competency and behavioral based interviews and questions. Prepare examples from your previous jobs!
