Quick Vent: So the company I work for asks me for people who can work, my boyfriend goes to help and has an accident under their direction at a job site and now has a broken ankle and sprained wrist and what does this company do??

I am so tired of the rejection and tomorrow's interview seems like such a great position. I am trying hard to stay confident but it is not easy, since I have been rejected for so many roles.

Part of me wants to celebrate and jump up and down, and then the other part of me is cautiously optimistic. The offer is contingent upon a successful background check. I have a misdemeanor back in 2009 when I was young and stupid. This misdemeanor has nothing to do with banking, theft, fraud, and the like. I want to be positive, but I don't want to be blindsided with a rejection. Should I be worried?

Strategically timing your questions is a crucial factor in achieving interview success. https://open.substack.com/pub/artoffindingwork/p/the-timing-of-your-questions-during?r=4s382&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

This week’s edition of Tuesday Tea with V brings together two themes that might seem unrelated at first — internet memes and personal milestones — but both offer insight into how we connect, communicate, and grow. In the first half, I explore how memes (yes, memes!) have evolved as a marketing tool and cultural signal. I break down recent research from the Journal of Interactive Marketing and share why some memes quickly fade while others stay with us for years. Humor, when used thoughtfully, can be a powerful way to connect — even in professional spaces like LinkedIn. The second half is a more personal reflection, including updates from the past couple of weeks: → I attended Expand Your NARRAtive: A Filipino Business Mixer & Potluck → I supported my brother-in-law as he launched his campaign for local office → I participated in Fairygodboss’s own “Innovate, Impact, Inspire” event, which left me feeling energized and grateful → I had three job interviews — a reminder that continued effort often leads to forward motion → I spent a full day with an old friend, enjoying the city and a much-needed pause You might recognize one part of this newsletter: a short poem I wrote as a teenager. I shared it here on Fairygodboss for Earth Day, and it felt right to include it again in the broader context of how creativity, care, and reflection show up in our lives — even decades later. I know that many here are in the midst of transition — seeking work, rediscovering strengths, or simply figuring out what’s next. This platform has always felt like a space where those journeys are respected, and I’m honored to contribute to that conversation.

If the company less interesting to you offers you a position, you should alert the other hiring manager to let him/her know that they are expecting a response in x days. (No company would expect a response on the spot; it is perfectly reasonable to take time to think about it). If they are truly interested, they will give you a decision.
