It is sometimes difficult to understand why people refuse to accept new information because it’s new and/or unfamiliar to them. The way to push through this situation is to continually stress their personal benefits as the main purpose to at least give it a try.

Raised on retail, former entertainment assistant, seeking new opportunities

Reading trade publications is a requisite for keeping up with the industry. Online, or in print, trades are the baseline for industry knowledge. It may also behoove you to set up relevant news alerts on your preferred news platform.

My strategies include scheduling time for practicing new skills regularly. It can also be helpful to enroll in classes, or teaming up with friends to hold each other accountable and keep on schedule. For example, I joined a writing club that meets every Wednesday. This allows me to practice my craft with others who encourage each other and help refine our practice.

CDL Hazmat Test

Here’s a YouTube that will help you study for your Hazmat endorsement test. 📚

If you’re considering becoming a commercial driver, I recommend getting all your endorsements especially the hazmat endorsement. ☣️ This is the most difficult endorsement test and has 50 questions. Once you pass this test and get your endorsement, you’ll become more valuable which in turn will increase your annual salary. 💰

I got all my endorsements after I got my CDL. I don’t know if anything has changed since 2021, but that was the strategy I took because I didn’t want to be subjected to information overload. 🤯

Any questions or concerns feel free to drop a comment. ⤵️

Director of Recruiting, 9th Way Insignia

When I left the Army, I had a very brief job selling supplemental insurance to union workers. I worked mostly nights and weekends and had to travel out of town. I knew that wasn't the life I wanted, so I resigned after a few weeks.

Whenever I apply for a remote job of any sort, it is always either a scam or they assume I am overqualified or it just isn't what the ad conveyed...

While working for an ecommerce health food company, I maintained beneficial relationships with many of our vendors. At various points, I was offered jobs with these companies. I never took them up on it though. But it goes to show that relationships can open opportunities.

I was once working in a fast-paced office in the media industry where a lot was at stake for our customers, our vendors, and the company itself. The owner of the company was very old, very gruff, and had one of the shortest tempers I've ever seen.

One afternoon, he raged at a senior coworker in the middle of the office for a minor misunderstanding regarding a superficial customer appreciation gesture that was not only superfluous, but easily corrected. My coworker remained calm, and promised to update their procedure.

A nearby department head stepped in and vouched for the employee, and the situation was diffused. However, the coworker took an early lunch, and came back with red eyes and a puffy, flushed face. I didn't know what to do, so I just proceeded about my day as if I didn't notice...

I regret not commiserating with them, but we really weren't very close, and the office was very formal with an open floorplan. I didn't want to embarrass them.

So, fellow Jobcasers, what would you have done?
