Borrowing an idea from a friend:
A halfing that grew up believing he is a great and powerful wizard. His parents could never talk him out of it before he left home. So, being a wealthy family, they sent a troupe of stage hands to protect him and his imaginative little mind.
Mechanically speaking, the character is a wizard. However naratively, all of his spells involve his troupe. Magic missle? One member for each missle brandishes a knife and stabs the target. Levitation? The troupe lifts him on a platter and carries him around. Presdigitation? A costume change, or a member rapidly cleaning the mud off of the targets boot, etc…
The halfing will never acknowledge the existence of the troupe. After all, they’re stage hands. No one is supposed to see the stage hands…
Seems like the police did the seeking, lol
Where have I seen this before? Oh yeah: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_Games
They’ll be fine.
The one I worked with was TEKSystems. They were super helpful, and found me a replacement job when I got laid off shortly after starting.
From my limited understanding, a legitimate agency will be looking to satisfy their contract with the businesses they recruit for. They won’t ask you for money, and they will work with you to find an employer that fits you. After all, if you’re not happy with the position and decide to leave, it’ll be bad for both the agency and the employer. They also shouldn’t be expecting a cut of your pay or anything from you once the employer hires you.
So, I know this is a rant. I completely understand your frustration. When I started my career in software I was either overqualified (weirdly), or just not interesting enough. Getting in is rough.
I had to face this again recently when I changed countries. Despite tech companies hiring everyone and their mother, no one accepted my application. This was most likely due to the sponsorship requirement. Then one day a head hunter called me up, asked about my qualifications, then sent me a packet of job postings. Within days I was jumping through interview after interview.
My takeaway from that experience: work with (not for) a talent agency. The people posting those jobs are like you and me. Sifting through hundreds of resumes, reading every detail, perfectly recalling those details during the interview… it’s exhausting. It’s far easier to trust the recommendations of a company that specializes in putting people in front of you.
Do that, and I’m certain you’ll find a job offer in no time. This is coming from someone who has ADHD, and suffered from a crippling case of imposter syndrome.
You can do it.
Forgive my lack of knowledge. Is it possible for another party to come in and replace the Republicans? I realize that’s likely not feasible assuming that both parties are well stapled by their voters, but I am curious about what the next steps are if they cease to function.
Jokes on you! I tilted my head!
Why does every post of this clown have a picture of him cosplaying as Dr Evil? If newsrooms can attach unflattering photos of Zuckerburg, they should be able to use unflattering pictures of Musk.
