My gym VASA has a RenuvaSkin S4800 standing bed. I discovered my membership allows me to use it so I’ve been going 3x a week for 2 weeks. I’ll usually go after my work out. I researched the bed and it’s red light is the 633 nm wavelength.
I have a little bit of eczema and redness in my face. Is this supposed to take some time to help clear up?

I recently interviewed someone who was fresh out of college. The person I was interviewing was so nervous. It was brutal. He’d stop mid sentence and I felt compelled to change the subject by asking a different question. It got me to think, if I were in his shoes and knowing what I know now, what would I do different to set myself apart?

Take a toastmasters course. I used to be in toastmasters and it was helpful. Not only with not being nervous when you speak but we worked on impromptu speaking.

Have an interesting hobby. Volunteer somewhere. It shows you have interests outside of work and that you can interact with people. Bonus points if it shows you can problem solve Bonus points if you’re involved with habitat for humanity. Good to see people being philanthropic and can build something.

Autodesk has Revit certifications. While my opinion on them is that they aren’t too help doe a seasoned user, I feel like having one for a fresh graduate would help one stick out. It’s hard to assess one’s skill set but this may help bridge the gap

If you aren’t licensed, be able to speak to your licensure plan. I’m x out of 6 tests, or I’m 50% done with AXP. Etc.

Show an eagerness to learn. I’m in my mid 40s and I’m looking for new things to learn that are outside my niche

Often I see posts on here stating that people are struggling to get interviews and when they do they’re not getting the job. I feel like the above helps.

What else do you feel helps ?

I used mostly older David Doucette material and studied some of the sources on the CAB website. Know your AiA contracts, which I studied via listening to Michael Hanahan professional practice lectures on YouTube. Know CALGreen but high level stiff

I’m a regular DIY homeowner and organizing my workshop. I’ve acquired stuff over the years, corner tools, tape, mud mix etc. even sheets of leftover squares of drywall.

I have some practice spots in my garage and even some walls in my basement workshop that just have drywall.

Do I just do some trial and error on these walls? I’m not looking to turn pro but it’d be nice to have this skill

Unfortunately the local habitat for humanity chapter that I volunteer with usually hires out dry walling and finishing so I don’t have an opportunity there. Years ago they’d let volunteers do it and have the pros fix their mistakes.
