I wanna do well when I'm an apprentice and would appreciate any advice anyone wants to share. Thank you :))
The Deaf/Hard of Hearing community have been putting up with the mask mandate and although we have a way to go, there's a lot of service industry peeps here that are back to work and I just wanted to give some tips.
First of all, we may not be able to hear but we're not idiots. We can see you when you're eyerolling as we mention or utter that we can't hear. Hearing losses do not equate to low IQ.
Most people are pretty decent when they find out that I'm Deaf, they read my notes on my phone, take their time to write things down, guide me where I need to go. There's a lot of Hard of Hearing and Deafened individuals that are also struggling to comprehend and understand even with the little sounds they may retain in their ears, please be patient with us.
- do not yell. do not repeat yourself talking while wearing your mask. Sad I have to repeat this but there are service peeps who continue to yell and confuse everyone.
- when the Deaf/Hard of hearing person make a food order in person and there are people waiting for their orders in the area, please note this Deaf/Hard of hearing person's order and when the food is ready, make sure to wave/get the Deaf person's attention. Often when I'm ordering food, staff are calling out names and I have no idea what's going on. Remember them, please.
- Outdoor Patio tip: If a Deaf/hard of hearing person approach, please allow them the option to have pen/paper to write down their order, or gesture if you can (everyone knows how to gesture, 'come with me to your table', 'drink' - if you know some sign language and not confident with it, go with it. It's better than nothing.
- Do not move your mask down even if you want to mouth your instructions/communicate with those of us who are able to lipread. We don't want you to get in trouble for removing your masks so keep it on!
-if you work in the vaccination centre, please make extra accommodations for the Deaf/Hard of hearing. With the questions we have to answer, it would be nice if instead of reading out the questions, you show us the form and we answer by nodding our head yes or no. If possible, have one designated person guide them to where they need to go instead of having 10 people at different checkpoints not having a clue.
- This is mainly for doctor offices or vets that often have the policy on their doors that we need to call in order to get in. This is classist and not a good idea for those who have hearing losses. Get rid of that stupid rul

I am struggling to find any work for my cleaning business specifically targeting the construction industry. I'm a 21 years old who's been trying to start something of my own for the past two years. I provide cleaning service which includes pressure washing,removal of all junk, post construction cleaning and any general labour work. I have tried many different marketing techniques such as emailing, cold calling ,and going door to door to each property developers and general contractor headquarters to drop off a brochure and that has only resulted in one phone call and that person heard my voice and immediately asked my age and then to told me that he would call back another time.
Hey everyone! I just recently landed my first industry job as a junior animator for a major VFX studio! I’m really excited but really freaked out at the same time. It’s all happened pretty quickly. I am relocating abroad this week and will be starting work from home next Monday. Is anyone here a VFX animator? It would really ease my nerves if someone gave me some tips or talked about their day-to-day experiences! Thanks!
Im 19, stay fit and workout about 3-4 times a week.
Yesterday I started working in a hotel kitchen, its usually 9-11 hour shifts and BOY do my legs hurt a lot from all that standing and walking, not sure if it would only fatigue me more if I continue training legs and maybe lead to injury risks?
I'm probably stressing out too much and this is a silly question, but I really want this junior artist job and want to put out the best portfolio I can make for it. Is it unusual to ask what they're looking for in a portfolio before submitting one?
Also, I know 2D Concept/Asset Artist is an extremely oversaturated position (esp with almost everything being 3D at least in the AAA scene) and you're competing with thousands of extremely talented people sometimes way way above your current skills. And even THEY have trouble getting in. But I really want to get my foot in the industry as soon as I can. What's the most worthwhile skill/position for me to invest in at the moment? I kinda wish I can start developing something (a small game to pick up simple programming or try UI design) but it just feels like I have so little time to fully delve into one and not lose focus of it. (Have gone back to uni to take CS, another route into the industry. Then work got me preoccupied this summer.)
Any tips or advice for an aspiring game artist? People who have made it, what's the most important thing to do/have? I think I'm a little lost on the path I want to take.
I just started a new job in the recruiting industry. I was wondering what are the do’s and do nots or tips/tricks more experienced recruiters could provide to someone new
As a city tour guide and as someone who has friends throughout the service industry downtown, I'm beginning to see why so many people are quitting the industry. I've come to the following conclusions based on my own experience and discussions with a dozen or so industry workers.
- In the last month, we have gotten the tourist industry back up to pace of 2019 style numbers, but tourist behavior is different. I.E. Rudeness from visitors/customers from out of state has increased to service workers
- No one is tipping. I have heard this from tour guides, waiters, waitresses, etc. People are ordering large meals, eating inside, going on tours, and not tipping tour guides, waiters, etc. If you can afford a vacation, you can afford gratuities to folks who are working minimum wage jobs while a pandemic is still going on.
It's going to be hell for the service industry this next few weeks with memorial day, spoleto, folks travelling again. Please help make folks' lives easier if they are going out of their way to make your trip special
Thanks for listening to my rant.
My restaurant was part of a successful family owned restaurant group that I really loved being a part of. About 2 years ago, the patriarch died and his children decided to sell. Apparently they took the time to find a group that would continue the values, yet surely but slowly, they’ve started cheapening things. I wouldn’t go so far as to say they’re cutting corners, but the old restaurant group seemed more invested in keeping employees happy.
This extra 2.5% they’re taking, which will total multiple 1000s by the end of the year, just seems like a huge slap in the face after busting our ass during this pandemic to make sure this restaurant lived up to the reliable standard it’s cultivated since the sixties. And on top that, they had the audacity to ask us to use our personal social media get people to apply. Lmao suck my ass. I just need to finish my novel and get the fuck out
Hey all. Hopefully this kind of post is alright.
I’m a 26 yo American who works in finance. I’ve got to be honest i’m tired of the corporate structure. I’m passionate about wine and have been thinking about dropping everything and checking out the wine scene in Europe. I’d love to work in France, but Portugal is way more up and coming and may have more opportunity?
I honestly don’t know where to start, so any insight from anybody in either the French or Portuguese wine scenes would be really appreciated. Specifically how the hell do I land a job as an American. Do I need qualifications? If so what qualifications.
Thanks!
Anybody with me??
After 4 solid years in public accounting, I'm moving to industry as a controller. Any tips or advice?

Like, do you look at the size of the tip in proportion to the bill, or purely as a numerical value? If a single person comes in who doesn't eat a lot, are you just like, "aw darn"? Conversely, if a big group gets a ton of food, and leaves a tip that's numerically big but a smaller percentage of the bill, how does that feel?
Hello, just looking for advice on how to survive in a restaurant as a first job. I don’t know exactly how viable this option is for me as a teen, but I know it’s what I want to do as soon as I can. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Hi there, Any tips for automation and controls in Dairy industry?
Got an offer for 77k with a 15% annual bonus at a small publicly traded company doing mainly tax provisions/sales tax. Regarding the bonus they laid off the last guy in the role during the pandemic, so I'm not comfortable counting on it. I'm currently a senior at a small public accounting firm making 68k with maybe 2-3k of bonuses annually which would most likely be 72kish in the next 2 or 3 months.
Tired of the hours and client contact in public, but otherwise absolutely love my boss, love my team, love the work I do for tax compliance. Benefits are similar aside from losing about 5-8 days of PTO. Sounds like hours in industry for the new job would be 45-50 a week vs 52-60 avg at my firm for busy season. New tax team would be me and a manager, so super small.
I'm feeling uneasy about jumping but don't really know why. The new manager seemed cool, the salary is a decent bump but not amazing if we ignore the bonus. I just get this gut feeling to wait it out and pass. Anyone had this experience before?
And for anyone in tax; with a goal of eventually making it into a huge company in industry, is provisions experience better than compliance for getting into a tax department of a large F100 company?
