The truth is the majority of applicant tracking systems (ATS) are incredibly legacy technology - basic databases with little to no automation. Nor are there algorithms to beat or keywords to optimize for. I promise the ATS is not rejecting your resume… Obviously this is all pretty low-stakes, but if anyone has any insight I’ll be an eager student! But one post (Tiffany) got 10x the reach and 12x the engagement □ The subject matter is ostensibly the same (the opening of flagship stores - Chanel vs Tiffany), and even the imagery is similar. Take these examples, posted two weeks apart, both at 7am pacific on a Friday (my regular day for ‘fun’ content). What I haven’t been able to fathom however, is why two posts, both alike in dignity, can have wildly different outcomes. And whilst this has been a far-from-scientific approach, I’ve posted enough to have made some observations / assumptions about what seems to work and what doesn’t. I’ve been posting pretty regularly since I got laid off, mostly to have a creative outlet and to try something that Corporate America™️ didn’t leave me much time for.

It’s a plan that will be as difficult and dangerous to execute as it is daring. Now it seems that the last, best hope lies in mobilizing the scattered Jedi for one decisive search-and-destroy mission. Tormented and torn between the call of duty and the thirst for vengeance, Luke has searched the Force and beheld an unspeakable vision of the galaxy enslaved under tyranny more monstrous than even Palpatine’s. At the same time, having gained the support of the Imperial Remnant and its ruthlessly efficient forces, the Galactic Alliance, with the extraordinary power and dark brilliance of newly ascendant Sith Lord Darth Caedus at its helm, may be unstoppable. The rebel cause is losing ground under the twin blows of Admiral Gilad Pellaeon’ s assassination and the death of Mara Jade Skywalker. With so much lost–and nothing less than the course of the future still at stake–there can be no turning back. Now, in the long and punishing battle between the defiant champions of the New Jedi Order and the juggernaut that is the Galactic Alliance, the endgame is finally at hand. 6/29/2023 0 Comments Sargasso sea authorRhys was educated in Dominica until the age of 16, when she was sent to England to live with an aunt, as her relations with her mother were difficult. Her mother's family had an estate, a former plantation, on the island. ("Creole" was broadly used in those times to refer to any person born on the island, whether they were of European or African descent, or both.) She had a brother. Rhys's father, William Rees Williams, was a Welsh medical doctor and her mother, Minna Williams, née Lockhart, a third-generation Dominican Creole of Scots ancestry. In 1978, she was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for her writing.

" - a very childish locution, for we know that Esperanza's feelings of liking and admiration for Alicia are not at all that simple. Very late in the book, she says of a neighbor, "I like Alicia because once she gave me a little leather purse with the word GUADALAJARA stitched on it. She jumps rope with her friends, rides three on a bike, is drawn to a good Bugs Bunny cartoon. On one hand, Esperanza is a typical young adolescent girl, at some moments a child and at some an adult. Some things about her we can never know, but because her voice is both direct and intimate, we can "know" her in some ways better than her friends and family do, better perhaps than she knows herself. All our information about her comes from her some things she tells us directly (and we must be alert to the possibility that they are perhaps true only at the moment she says them), others indirectly in her reported actions, thoughts, and feelings. Esperanza is the most fully developed character in the book. 6/29/2023 0 Comments Tom robbins frog pajamasAmong those promoting the changes are an obese spiritualist named ``Q-Jo,'' a pizzazzy character who exits too soon from the story Larry Diamond, Robbins's requisite mystery man on a bike and Andre, Europe's most notorious simian jewel thief.
