I am applying for a finance job but I wouldn't say that it is high end or anything. I figured why not spend 100$ if it gets me a job then it is totally worth it.

Do it, and definitely practice your interviewing skills, best of luck

Yep, I rather pay 100 bucks to improve my interviewing skills. If there was such a class. Tho just applying for jobs you dont care for and doing the interviews to practice works too.

Cv's in corporate America, especially finance, matter. You can't just send in a normal looking one, you have to use the right format and wordage.

Oh thats true for sure, tho question is if you into that field you will probably know someone with some know-how to guide you on the basics and esthetics, and not need to pay to get it right. Unless its a time sensitive thing as ALC said.

I'm glad you read through it all

Probably, I did frequent the taco trucks up there :analcanon:

Or did the taco trucks frequent you?

In most cases they will end up just doing it for you, it would take less time and effort

I still haven't found anything or anyone to convince 95% of application procedures isn't just pure BS

I've spent the whole week watching some good ol' Lou Reed interviews (Isn't @swag a fan?), the awkwardness in most of them is just amazing. The guy was the best at throwing reporters off their shit and just being a complete dick, really

And with that came the hunger for the Velvet Underground records. Been re-listening and getting re-acquainted with their back catalog. So minimalist yet so gritty and powerful. I was specifically listening to this tune at work - one that I haven't heard in many years - and I never really had paid attention to the words until today... Shit is too damn crazy. @Post Ironic you probably know it but in case you don't, listen to the words and that ending

Oh yeah...

And it's no mystery why I'm also a fan of bands like the Dream Syndicate, Sonic Youth, Luna, The Feelies, Modern Lovers, Swans, etc.

You know another band I've always thought were heavily influenced by TVU? Belle & Sebastian.

Haven't listened to White Light/White Heat in a few years. I'd forgotten how wild the lyrics are in that track. I love that raw minimalism they have going on too, definitely a precursor to early punk, tracks like that. I'm going to have to find it, I know I have it somewhere in amongst records.

I can't recall if I asked you if you had heard of Lizzy Mercier Dezcloux before? Also went by the name Rosa Yemen... She took some influence from Lou Reed for sure.

Edit.

All the late 70s - early 80s No Wave, New Wave, Post-punk, etc. bands were heavily influenced by The Velvet Underground.

No, never heard of it. Recommend me an album and I'll favorite it on Spotify.

Lou Reed

Sad.

 

[Post Ironic]

Sad.

Lou Reed is a fake musician. He's the most overrated. He doesn't even make music. It's all FAKE.

 

[CrimsonianKing]

Why waste time with BoZo? He's tremendously bad. Get smart, tuz!

How do I post screenshots from my iPhone to here? The funniest thing just happened to me on that chess app.
