How does LinkedIn play a role in hiring administrators? And specifically for first time assistant principals?

I had no idea LinkedIn was still a thing as I’ve been doing my program and working. I forgot about my LinkedIn profile that I created a few years ago. It is not up to date with my current info. Out of all the advice administrators gave me as I ask questions all the time, even the hiring process etc., no one once mentioned making sure your LinkedIn profile is up to date. Not going to lie, a little upset with myself now. I’ll be working on it tomorrow. From what I read online it’s used to look at for first impressions and is kinda a big deal as you brand yourself.

Please let me know how much this matters, I’ve already applied to positions. I’m worried that may have cost me a chance to interview.

Why are digital interviews still a thing and why general textbook questions?

I just started applying and interviewing. First off digital interviews are terrible and the people who excel at them are the people who can put on the fake persona like a car salesman. Then the questions such as how do you build positive culture, how do you handle an upset parent, when was a time you coached a teacher?

These questions give no insight into what type of administrator they really are. It is all set up for textbook rehearsed answers.

They really need to give problem solving scenarios and data to have candidates show their thinking on approaching how to resolve the problem. So many admin bandaid and react.

I really want to be an administrator for all the right reasons. Despite all the fires to put out and issues that come with it. I want to help grow a campus and support students and teachers, but the interviewing process seems bleak because it really seems it’s set up for the super charismatic people. The sitting in front of a panel and being judged is crazy. It’s all show. Then once the administrator who is hired shows they don’t have the collaborative, relationship building, have to put in effort to intentionally grow teachers because that requires time and effort of meetings and paperwork, staff and students suffer. But they know what to say to just make it look good.

I’m not sure when school districts will realize that you have high staff turnover over and admin turn over because your focused on show and not capabilities. Just because someone sounds great doesn’t mean they have all the right tools to get the job done. They have to earn trust with staff and that charisma only goes so far.

How to set up online business without having to pay for the info to do it?

I really want to start on an online business creating things. I have a few ideas but the lack of knowledge on where to start and how is the issue. I’m a planner and like to know and not have to just figure everything out as I go. I know I will with something’s, just a clear direction would be nice.

I know that people are capitalizing on selling their knowledge of how to start selling something but I find those risky because it’s easy to fake it.

Does anyone know someone who has put out legit content that shows you what to do if you’re willing to put the hours and effort into it with at least a path to follow?

I know it’s not an easy thing, but I really just want the freedom of making money on my own.

Is it possible to save data, reset switch and upload the saved game data to a new Nintendo account?

So I received my Nintendo switch a few years ago as a gift to me. Ex husband created the account under my birthdate but with his email address and the same gaming account name he uses for xbox/playstation. I’ve asked him for the code to log into the account and to change it to my email address. I can’t do anything. I haven’t received a text back.

Is there any possible way to save my data on games? Nothing is saved to the Nintendo cloud, it’s all on the switch.

Sexuality at 41

I am female and married my husband male right out of high school. I know, it was dumb.

I’m separated and going through a divorce.

Anyways, I’ve always found women to be attractive and cute. When I’m sexually aroused I think of women and men. I find myself attracted to trans etc. online. I’ve always seen how someone can just be attracted to someone and love them.

My question is how do you go about even trying to find out your sexuality when you’re in your 40s? I have no idea how to even approach that or date.

The psychological affects of finding out what the cheaters girlfriend looks like

My husband was not a good husband and for almost 20 years I did everything for our family and for him. I cared and I suffered for it .

To make a long story short I was happy when he went from sleeping on the couch to finally staying out and not coming home. It then moved to him pretending to have it hard and washing clothes at home periodically. He really made an effort to make it look like he wasn’t cheating.

This man had no passion for life and I don’t even know if he likes himself, but he thrives on admiration. He was not great in bed and lacked in personality once the affect wars off, he can’t keep it up.

I was young dumb, delusional and honestly easily manipulated because I am the nice person.

Come to find out the person he’s with isn’t ugly, she’s good looking. How’d he do it? How dumb was she to believe him. I’m a woman and the woman who can be with a man who’s still married is in my opinion not a real woman. They are the problem.

I’ve gone through the anger, grief etc. but I wasn’t expecting that he’d find some thin good looking woman. I’m not big or over extremely over weight, but I’m also not thin. I’m curvy. I also have good skin and get complimented I look good for my age.

I wasn’t expecting this to psychologically affect me so much. My husband is not ugly and he has the whole tall dark and handsome effect going on. He’s not a great kisser and his bed game lacks honestly. Through the years his lack of confidence in his penis size was a huge issue and turn off, he was average sized. He also was not passionate and not too great at kissing. Again young and dumb, he loves me is all I cared about. I’m also a very loyal loving person. I have ethics. Still not doing anything with anyone or even attempting until divorce is final.

I shouldn’t feel the need to make myself great because honestly I don’t want him back or him to want me, but I really want to show him I was hot with you and definitely still hot without you. It is bothering the crap out of me.
