LilKitKat's Second Cumming Thread 💦

Yes, having several 6 month positions on my resume looks like garbage as opposed to if it was 1-2 yrs etc...and while yes, its a given for many contractors, it ust having to explain it, or not necessarily having a "feference" from the previous place...but obviously I got along well with my manager and others, so hopefully I could use them.

As for on-site, I could do it but am trying not to haha. So much time and money saved by not having to commute, by not having to bring a lunch, all that...and most office type of jobs can be done virtually/remote so whats the reason for on site? Oh because you have to pay taxes on the land for your office? I mean, is my work getting done and on time and good? Yes? Then WTF.

The positive/negative for remote work is that I can apply to jobs with companies based in NY, Texas, Ohio, Calif, Washington, Colorado whatever...the negative is that everyone can apply to those positions too.
I’m rooting for you!
 
UGH

MAY be losing my job!!!! (in 2-3 weeks)

All project managers that are on contracts are supposedly being replaced with full-time badged employees who havent had as much work lately etc

The good news is they said if its all true, and I am phased out in a couple of weeks, that my manager likes me and my clients have said nothing but positive things and theyre hoping to rehire ppl back in October or so if they can.

Ill let you know when I do.

SIGH

Might be a very lonely and unpaid birthday for me :(
I'm sad to see this post, but chin up Kit. One of your incredible qualities is your resiliency and I have a really good feeling that you'll do just fine. I'll be thinking about you and praying for the best for you
 
Good morning! Hope you have something fun planned for today, even if it isn't as awesome as kayaking with a great view.
 
Have you considered speaking to your supervisor about writing you a letter of reference/recommendation to take with you? I think that would carry a lot of weight and maybe put you a step above other applicants who don't have an encouraging letter written by a previous supervisor.
hahaha...yeah trust me, Ill be reaching out for that...though I dont think anyone reads those when applying to jobs but if they post something on linkedin it may assist.
Otherwise you only submit a resume, sometimes a cover letter...
 
Sorry I wasnt on most of the day; went ot help my dad with yard work all fucking day...shoveling bark dust, river rock, dirt, etc

I am fucking wiped

Got back, showered, took a nap with my dog and just woke up. Supposed to grab a drink soon. Yikes. Talk soon!
Sounds like a productive day.
Have a wonderful night. 💐💐💐

I agree with @Jw75766 even more @LilKitKat do not be shy darling and be proactive and request reference/recommendations from the client because that is as valuable even better because you work directly with the client's representatives and if they were happy to work with you that means you did a great job.
Please don't mix the contractor position with a permanent role.
If someone had permanent roles and he/she changed every 6 months that is definitely a job hopper case.

The LinkedIn recommendations are great as well and easy recognising by headhunters.

I'm sure your dad loved the help and the time with you.

Just a thought - try a functional CV. Cite your expertise and references with less focus on previous employers. Sorry to intrude on your thread.

At least you got some productive stuff done and were able to help and work with your dad. More importantly, I bet you looked absolutely smoking hot all sweaty and working away 🥰🥰🥰
