Re: Off Topic 2013

It looks as though your sequel will be Dayman Lives With a Vikings Fan.

Not as much fun, I know. But there's potential.

It depends on what kind you get. In my experience there tends to be two:

A) The depressed, withdrawn, I've given up type

and

B) The really, really annoying, in your face about it type.

And there's absolutely no in between.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I'm only going to admit this because it's obvious everyone cares about my fantasy team, but I only picked him up because Dalton is on a bye (and has been ****ty lately), and Matt Ryan sucks.

Which is why I was forced into it.

In further fantasy braggery that everyone here is dying to know, I picked up Rapistberger last week just because he was playing the Lions. Yeah, I said it.

BOOOOOOOOO! BOOOOO THIS MAN AND HIS SAVVY DECISIONS!

This Best Buy job is the first time I've ever been happy with a job.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Speaking of jobs...There's a job I want to apply to, but I don't meet the experience/educational background for it. I can do all the skills required though and can handle all the responsibilities.

I often hear people just tell me "Just apply anyways,even if you don't meet experience/educational requirements", but undecided on if I should or not, cause last thing I want to do is apply for something,and even after looking at my resume, I get an interview, then they end up being like "you don't have experience/educational requirements.........."

Sucks how this happens too often, I have 90-100% of the skills/knowledge needed for a job,but it always asks for SPECIFIC experience/educational requirements. It's like I said before, you can't get job A without experience in job B. Can't get job B without experience in job C. And can't get job C without experience in job A. It's an illogical cycle.

Sure beats sitting around wondering if you might have been hired for the job despite the requirements.

I think I've given up on fantasy football. It just doesn't interest me at all any more.

It's sad because it's true. Kid I work with is a Vikings fan and depressed every Sunday.

I work with 3 A's. Never met these B's you speak of. They all just hope they keep losing and Jacksonville and Tampa perform miracles.

Let's see what you say a week from now.

If you don't apply, you won't know. If you don't have the experience, you won't get an interview, so don't worry about that. They aren't going to waste their time if they aren't going to consider hiring you. Your resume is one of dozens, possibly hundreds, of people that aren't fully qualified. Depends on who is looking at it and what it's for, but it does not immediately disqualify you.

I don't agree with the last paragraph either. I used to, but then I got a job doing just that. I had virtually 0 experience in what they were looking for (had plenty of programming experience otherwise) and got a job that required 3+ years experience in many of their things. My boss is one of the few people I've interviewed with that took my teaching and graduate school background as a positive and not a negative.

You don't have a degree. If they want a degree, you have much less of a chance. Most try the same argument. "I can do everything that's required, but I don't have a degree." That list of job requirements is never complete. I make an effort to ask in interviews what else they are looking for. Oftentimes they want background knowledge and they want to see if you are able to finish things. Having a degree in a field they are looking for almost guarantees you have the background knowledge unless you went to ABC Community College. And well, finishing, especially with honors, etc... gives an even better indication.

Now, if you are trying to apply for a job that requires 7+ years and a master's degree, forget it. You're out of your league. But if you are far enough into school (like 2-3 semesters from graduating) and they are looking for 0-2 years experience and a degree, apply. You might get an internship. Hell, look to see if they have internships! You might find out you hate the job.

Actually, if anyone here has a strong medical background (specifically of the body) and can PM me, I have an embarrassing question to ask and I don't feel weird asking someone I don't really know lol.

There are definitely better places on the Internet to ask this question than a sports gaming forum.

you can have him on your radio show to say good things about the Vikings so it's not just you talking for 45 minutes.
