Here’s the link you seem to be looking for: Professionals being very human and professional
Remember to actually type out the question next time, to get the right answers.
I emailed my interviewer and said that this was my first interview in the field and asked what I could expect from the interview and what to prepare ahead of time.
I made me a lot calmer and more confident knowing what to expect.
I got the job.
YMMV.

The closer you get to 50, the less it will feel or sound like a long life.
Health problems starting to become more frequent is not the same as becoming suddenly and incurably frail and ill. I know multiple people who are much healthier at fifty than at thirty, because they found the drive and ability/access to take care of their health.
So many things can be better at fifty than at twenty or thirty. Why would you not want to live through those good years after struggling to get there? And even if it’s not better, it’s still good.
You can still learn to skateboard, just wear more protective gear and take some ibuprofen the next day. Doesn’t mean skateboarding isn’t fun or worth trying, or life not worth living.
You can still see friends and family, just have two beers instead of ten, or talk shit about your boss instead of your teacher, or go to a movie matinee instead of midnight showing. It’s still fun and worth spending time with your loved ones, and life is still worth living.

To think… this is how I find out I’m a bad person lol.
My thinking brain knows that happy sounds are better. But my feeling brain just says “nope, I’d rather hear their pain”.
Not who I want to be, but here we are. Got some work to do.
- kindnesskills@literature.cafetoAsk Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something about you that surprises people when they first find out?1·6 days ago
My sexuality.
It’s not a huge shock when it comes up, but most people seem to assume I’m bi or pan, to the point where I had to do some real exploring in case I was the one mistaken.
Turns out I’m not bi/pan, but some good times were nonetheless had figuring that out.
- kindnesskills@literature.cafetoAsk Lemmy@lemmy.world•any life advice for a 20yo? also does manifestation actually work1·6 days ago
One piece of advice would be: Don’t ask for help if you’re never going to accept it. Don’t ask for advice unless you’re prepared to listen.
People will not want to keep helping or advising you when they see that their help and advice is being ignored over and over. People want to help, but not if you are choosing to stay in trouble rather than accept the help offered.
Enough people have told you that you’re not in the emotional or financial state to do trading, and have given you alternatives for investment suitable for your age, ability, and budget.
When will you listen to the advice you’re asking for?
- kindnesskills@literature.cafetoAsk Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is everybody just struggling financially right now?3·8 days ago
I can spend (within reason) without looking at my account first. I can make one large purchase (within reason) every other month or so. I’m doing fine, finally.
Good guess, but not quite!
