Right now, I’m sifting through 50+ applications for a new entry-level position. Here’s some advice from the person who will actually be looking at your CV/resume and cover letter:

‘You must include a cover letter’ does not mean ‘write a single line about why you want this position’. If you can’t be bothered to write at least one actual paragraphs about why you want this job, I can’t be bothered to read your CV.

Don’t bother including a list of your interests if all you can think of is ‘socialising with friends’ and ‘listening to music’. Everyone likes those things. Unless you can explain why the stuff you do enriches you as a person and a candidate (e.g. playing an instrument or a sport shows dedication and discipline) then I honestly don’t care how you spend your time. I won’t be looking at your CV thinking ‘huh, they haven’t included their interests, they must have none’, I’m just looking for what you have included.

Even if you apply online, I can see the filename you used for your CV. Filenames that don’t include YOUR name are annoying. Filenames like ‘CV - media’ tell me that you’ve got several CVs you send off depending on the kind of job advertised and that you probably didn’t tailor it for this position. ‘[Full name] CV’ is best.

USE. A. PDF. All the meta information, including how long you worked on it, when you created it, times, etc, is right there in a Word doc. PDFs are far more professional looking and clean and mean that I can’t make any (unconscious or not) decisions about you based on information about the file.

I don’t care what the duties in your previous unrelated jobs were unless you can tell me why they’re useful to this job. If you worked in a shop, and you’re applying for an office job which involves talking to lots of people, don’t give me a list of stuff you did, write a sentence about how much you enjoyed working in a team to help everyone you interacted with and did your best to make them leave the shop with a smile. I want to know what makes you happy in a job, because I want you to be happy within the job I’m advertising.

Does the application pack say who you’ll be reporting to? Can you find their name on the company website? Address your application to them. It’s super easy and shows that you give enough of a shit to google something. 95% of people don’t do this.

Tell me who you are. Tell me what makes you want to get up in the morning and go to work and feel fulfilled. Tell me what you’re looking for, not just what you think I’m looking for.

I will skim your CV. If you have a bunch of bullet points, make every one of them count. Make the first one the best one. If it’s not interesting to you, it’s probably not interesting to me. I’m overworked and tired. Make my job easy.

“I work well in a team or individually” okay cool, you and everyone else. If the job means you’ll be part of a big team, talk about how much you love teamwork and how collaborating with people is the best way to solve problems. If the job requires lots of independence, talk about how you are great at taking direction and running with it, and how you have the confidence to follow your own ideas and seek out the insight of others when necessary. I am profoundly uninterested in cookie-cutter statements. I want to know how you actually work, not how a teacher once told you you should work.

For an entry-level role, tell me how you’re looking forward to growing and developing and learning as much as you can. I will hire genuine enthusiasm and drive over cherry-picked skills any day. You can teach someone to use Excel, but you can’t teach someone to give a shit. It makes a real difference.

This is my advice for small, independent orgs like charities, etc. We usually don’t go through agencies, and the person reading through the applications is usually the person who will manage you, so it helps if you can give them a real sense of who you are and how you’ll grab hold of that entry level position and give it all you’ve got. This stuff might not apply to big companies with actual HR departments - it’s up to you to figure out the culture and what they’re looking for and mirror it. Do they use buzzwords? Use the same buzzwords! Do they write in a friendly, informal way? Do the same! And remember, 95% of job hunting (beyond who you know and flat-out nepotism, ugh) is luck. If you keep getting rejected, it’s not because you suck. You might just need a different approach, or it might just take the right pair of eyes landing on your CV.

And if you get rejected, it’s worthwhile asking why. You’ve already been rejected, the worst has already happened, there’s really nothing bad that can come out of you asking them for some constructive feedback (politely, informally, “if it isn’t too much trouble”). Pretty much all of us have been hopeless jobseekers at one point or another. We know it’s shitty and hard and soul-crushing. Friendliness goes a long way. Even if it’s just one line like “your cover letter wasn’t inspiring" at least you know where to start.

And seriously, if you have any friends that do any kind of hiring or have any involvement with that side of things, ask them to look at your CV with a big red pen and brutal honesty. I do this all the time, and the most important thing I do is making it so their CV doesn’t read exactly like that of every other person who took the same ‘how-to-get-a-job’ class in school. If your CV has a paragraph that starts with something like ‘I am a highly motivated and punctual individual who–’ then oh my god I AM ALREADY ASLEEP.

7 QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK AT THE END OF EVERY JOB INTERVIEW.

Click here to find out why these questions help you.

How to give amazing blow jobs by Blakley Jules

21 tips and tricks to make ur guy crave you, you’re welcome ;)

1. kiss his neck then continue all the way down his body (stomach) till you reach the dick

2. when you get to the penis, take your tongue out and lick from the top (tip) all the way down to the bottom (by the balls), then back up, then put it in your mouth

3. put one hand around the part of his dick that doesn’t comfortably fit in your mouth and use that to help support the bj

4. make sure your tongue is working hard core. remember, the tongue is a muscle so use that mofo

5. don’t get confused by the name “blow” job. you should be sucking. not too hard, not too softly.

6. take your tongue and move it up and press it directly on the tip of the head(very top). Yeah sounds nasty but they’ll die of happiness

7. or take your tongue and circle it around the head, they love that too

8. side note here’s a tip to make it easier to deep throat: hold down your left thumb all the way into your palm, it somehow helps to stop your gag reflex

9. if you place your pointer finger and thumb (use the hand you’re using to help the bj) around your lips like you’re outlining your lips, itll feel like you’re going deeper than you actually are.

10. when you’re ready for your jaw to take a break try this: take both hands and put them stacked around his penis, then gently, key word GENTLY, twist in opposite directions. 

11. this sounds weird, but pretend you’re loving it as much as he is. this will make him more turned on, moan while his thingy is in your mouth, the vibrations of the moans will add some good feelings too

12. body temps rise during hookups, so suck a piece of ice before giving him a bj, or even take a cold sip of water in the middle of the process. hell thank you later

13. gross but awesome for guys: gently massage their balls, but be VERY FUCKING CAREFUL because they are sensitive beyong beleif

14. make sure it’s wet, lots of saliva or lube, whatever you prefer

15. occasionally go super deep, as deep as you can go, then go back into the normal flow of how you were blowing him before

16. big fyi: alcohol causes your throat to tighten making it harder to deep throat or even give a bj at all

17. majority of guys like pain while being stimulated so if he’s down for that, dig your nails into his chest or back, or nibble the bottom of his tummy. but test out the waters slowly and make sure hes cool with it

18. don’t hide away under covers, he prolly wants to watch the action ;)

19. when he starts to “finish” go slowly again

20. try this to drive them fucking insane: when you feel them about to finish, stop blowing him and slightly squeeze his dick at the bottom with your hand, then wait a second, then continue. 

21. and lastly, try some cool positions: both laying on sides, can also 69 like this or have him on his knees kinda on top of you so he can help move up and down to how he likes it

hope these tips helped at least a little, remember to reblog and give me creds :)

hoe tips: how to give a fire blowjob 🔥🍆

-i recommend going in with little makeup or no makeup bc your face WILL get wet and messy super quick. if you do plan on wearing makeup, make sure you set that shit with powder puff, and press that shit into your skin HARD and use a setting spray. also wear a super waterproof mascara, bc your eyes will water, and have tissues nearby for after so you can wipe your face. also, try not to eat at least 2-3 hours before so you don’t accidentally throw up. also if you don’t know this person well or don’t know their status use a damn condom.

-tease your partner. start with lots of kissing (or a massage 😋 look here)  while rubbing their dick through their pants. go slowly. dirty talk is good here too. tease them for a while, let the anticipation build up.

-sucking their dick while they’re lying down with your back arched and your ass in the air is super sexy, or you can try being on your knees if your partner is more of the dominant type. when you finally pull their dick out, start off with a simple handjob. then, graze their dick with your mouth, and start long licks from their balls to the tip of their dick.

-dry head is unpleasureable. use LOTS of spit. put their dick to the back of your throat. your gag reflex will kick in and you will gag on their dick, causing you to produce lots of spit. the sound of you gagging will turn them on also.

-start sucking their dick,by using your hands and your mouth. start by gripping (not super tightly,just firm) the base of their dick in your hand(s), then wrap your mouth around the rest, so your lips meet your fist. then move your hands and your mouth up and down in a rhythmic motion while sucking. use more suction going up then going down. do NOT use your teeth.

-now i know we all want to be cute, but you can’t be cute when sucking dick,sorry. be sloppy as hell. lose your inhibition. go all out. 

-sound effects can really help. loud sucking + slurping + gagging + moaning = them nutting faster

-eye contact is important. looking up at them while you suck their dick will make them go crazy.

-don’t forget about their balls either! lightly massage,lick and suck on them as well. don’t do it too hard though, it can be uncomfortable.

-if your mouth gets tired,you can go back to giving them a hand job, or if you’re well endowed in the breast area, you can put their dick between your breasts and titty fuck them. dirty talk is good too. either way be sure to give your mouth a break so you don’t tire yourself out too quickly.

-if you wanna be an extra bitch & deepthroat, use throat numbing spray. you can find it online or in drugstores by the medicine & shit. spray it in the back of your throat beforehand.

-when they nut, you have a few options. swallowing is ideal but if you’re a freaky bitch you can take it to the face or titties. only do this if you know this person is STD free, otherwise just let them cum in the condom.

How To Kiss

So, I had a sultry, sexy intro devised to transition into this topic, but I’m sure you saw the picture I made for this, so let’s not beat around the bush. Today, I am going to teach you three things, which I have learned through great personal hardship combined with extensive research. But first, I know you have questions. Can I be trusted? Who am I to tell you how to kiss? Do I know how to kiss? Umm. Yes. But I have made a kisser’s resume for you, right here:

has lips

has kissed a good number of boys. Not prudish. Not slutty (Not that those labels are even slightly relevant or meaningful. No thank you, patriarchy). 

but seriously I’ve done some kissing in my day

the last three guys I kissed ALL TOLD ME I WAS A GOOD KISSER

numbers like that don’t lie

I rest my case. Now. Let it begin. My first topic is:

INITIATING KISSING

Okay, there are basically two ways you can do this: direct and indirect. Directly, you are the initiator of kisses. You put your mouth on his/her mouth. Indirect, you do some hair-twirling, eye-lash batting magic and make them kiss you. 

DIRECT INITIATION

A big goal here is to not kiss anyone who doesn’t want to kiss you. That sounds terrible for every involved party. So. To make your intentions clear (but not like, weirdly clear) do the following:

Touch. Anything from a casual physical contact while talking, or taking their arm while walking, or holding hands is a great way to indicate interest, and to break the touch barrier and make it a smooth transition into PUTTING YOUR MOUTH ON THEIR MOUTH. Sorry. I got excited. 

Get close. Lean in while talking, snuggle up when appropriate. Physical closeness is the perfect precursor to any kiss.

Optional: hand on face. I’m a fan of hand on face because it makes your intentions oh-so-clear, it helps to guide you in, and it also is just plain nice, as a kiss recipient. Other options include hand on waist, hand on shoulder, hand under chin, whichever strikes your fancy.

Optional, again: ask. Some people hate to be asked, but it can be polite and sweet. If you’re uncertain, asking doesn’t hurt. Or just say, “I’d really like to kiss you,” or pay a genuine and personal compliment, like, “you’re so beautiful,” or “you’re incredible, you know that?” with lots of eye contact and coy smiling. 

Close your eyes. Trust yourself to get your mouth safely to its destination. 

Put your lips on their lips! Always closed mouth at first. For the love of all that is holy, go in with your mouth closed. Please don’t terrorize the kissing population with an open mouth on impact.

INDIRECT INITIATION

The steps for direct and indirect initiation are going to look the same for a while.

Except instead of step three, you’re going to do the eyes-mouth-eyes gaze maneuver, a maneuver which has never failed me. I repeat, never failed. So, here we go: The eyes-mouth-eyes gaze maneuver. It is shockingly self explanatory. You, at a reasonably close distance, look at their eyes, smile a little, hold for a second, look at their mouth, maintaining mysterious smile, and then look back to their eyes if they aren’t already kissing you. Which they should be. Because this maneuver is like, universal code for “kiss me now, please.” If the maneuver fails, it is easily transitioned out of, and makes for great flirting regardless of outcome.

Now, my second topic of conversation:

MOVE YOUR MOUTH AND HANDS IN PLEASANT WAYS

Now that you have achieved your goal, your lips are touching, it’s all about what you do with those lips. Kissing does come down to personal preference a lot of the time, but I’ve listed a few good things to do, and a few bad things to do, with both mouth and hands. 

GOOD THINGS TO DO

Pay attention to their responses. Match pace, and force. You can take the lead, but be a benevolent leader. No need to scare anyone with kissing too hard or fast too soon. That’s how you get your teeth clinked on their teeth, which is rookie stuff. 

Know where to put your hands. For girls, this mostly means small of her back, her face, and her hair. A hand in your hair, or playing with a girl’s hair while kissing is delightful. For guys, this will be his back, shoulders, and face and hair, again. It’s super nice. If you’re brave, there are other places for hands to be, but as far as a polite, basic kiss, this is what you need to know.

Use your tongue nicely. Which means intermittently, and not too forcefully. Use it to trace one of their lips; use it gently and play it by ear. 

Let it come naturally. Kissing is not difficult; it’s almost instinctive. Have faith in yourself. However, when it comes to tongue, err on the side of caution.

BAD THINGS TO DO

GO IN WITH AN OPEN MOUTH. Don’t, don’t ever. This is scary.

Too hard, too fast. Ease into it, tiger. If you rush in, guns blazing, people get scared.

Ignore signals. Your partner will usually kiss the way they want to be kissed, and so should you. Listen to each other. This also goes for hands; if a partner puts their hands where they are not welcome, just take them and guide them back. This should be enough of a hint. The opposite is also true; be aware and respectful of boundaries. 

All tongue, all the time. Change it up, and for the love of god don’t leave your tongue limp in their mouth. That’s terrible. 

END A KISS

In writing this, I realized I don’t actually remember how most kisses end. However I don’t remember it ever being awkward, which means it’s probably pretty instinctive. Just be nice, all the time; that’s the best advice there is. Whether it’s a non-committal make out or a kiss you hope to repeat, smile a lot, be nice, and leave them wanting more. 

As always, I hope this helps! Go out, put your lips on one another, kiss passionately and without remorse. Heaven knows I do. 

With Love, 

Kate
