A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Much easier to reject bad CVs. On the other hand every job post is the same and you have to check Glassdoor and Crunchbase before applying to a potential bad company

Literally yes. I have reviewed over 10,000 resumes between my last two positions. Our current posting has 3,600 applicants.

Should we close the posting? Probably, but we don't. Whenever I have time I sift through the resumes. Most don't get looked at for even 10 seconds. Cover letters don't get read. Stop including cringe things like "Microsoft Word" before PHP and Python in your skills, it makes me think you have nothing better to offer besides what I've read so far, and I'll skip reading the rest of your resume because of it.

This is why it is soooo important to network. I'm far more likely to read a resume given to me by a friend or someone I know verses a random resume that lands in my inbox.

"Networking" increasingly just means nepotism.

It always did.
