Tumblr, I need your help!

My best friend is a disabled veteran, with traumatic brain injuries, seizures, and memory issues. That often means it’s hard for him to maintain an interest because it gets frustrating to always feel like you can’t keep up with anything.

He’s developed a recent interest in Koine Greek, specifically the New Testament Greek but it’s branching off into him trying his best to teach himself syntax and vocabulary in general. I can help with the “What does genitive mean?” but I have zero knowledge of Greek itself.

So I’m reaching out to offer a paid position for a knowledgeable tutor in Koine Greek, who can host regular virtual sessions and will have the patience to repeat lessons as necessary. I know most language learning needs to go A -> AB -> ABC -> ABCD, but the ideal tutor would be willing to go A -> AB -> A -> AB -> ABC as needed by the student.

He has been working SO HARD, listening to children’s songs to remember the alphabet, taking copious notes so he doesn’t lose anything he’s gained, and I would be willing to pay someone just to help him achieve this goal.

It’s more of a scholarly pursuit to understand various Biblical languages rather than some religious quest, but he’s also down for conversations about religion in the abstract as well.

If you can help, or have a lead, please DM me here or email breakaribecca @ gmail dot com.

To Apply

Whether you’re looking for something temporary during the holiday season or a full-time career, it often seems impossible to get your hands on an elusive job. How do other people do it? Luckily for you, we’ve done our research, had our fair share of jobs and figured out some of the best tips for snagging the job of your dreams (well, at least a job).

• Make a specific cover letter. Many people will not use a cover letter at all, and if they use one, it will be canned and generic. Make sure you stand out with a letter that shows you did your research on the company and are very interested in this specific position.

• Call the hiring managers. It’s so easy for us to rely on our computers to do everything digitally, which is why they’ll be impressed by your drive and determination. It also shows them you’re willing to go out of your comfort zone – definitely an important skill.

• Quantify your actions. Yeah, it’s great that you “babysat kids” at your last job, but doesn’t it sound better to say you “engaged and enhanced the learning environment for three children under the age of 6”? Use strong verbs and numbers to really tell what you did.

• Use an appropriate email address. Maybe you’ve been using the same email since middle school; the fact that you still remember the password to that is impressive. However, employers will not be impressed by whatever nickname you chose – just make a new one.

• Send a thank you note. If there are any people who help you move along in the job process, no matter what kind of contribution they made, you should thank them. They went out of their way, and they’ll appreciate it. Bonus points if you write them by hand.

Hiring For Slot Work, With Pay $$

I’m serious…does anyone who knows how to do slots for objects want to do positioning work for me? The packages usually already have the slots there as I use a standard set up clone for all my shelving and such needs, they just need to be position tuned. I hate it so much I am willing to pay someone.

For real. Yes, with real money. As in you did a job and were paid for it. In fact, I’ll pay you up front. How much? We’ll talk that out in private.

Stupid thing to pay for? Not in my opinion. It’s just a part of the process I don’t enjoy and have to spend too much time on. Often there are 10+ slots needed to be positioned per object.

I would of course provide you with the needed packages as well as a guide to where I would like slots positioned, and we can work out payment through Paypal, or me using whatever money receiving method you have in place.

It would be considered an “as needed” and “per item” job. I am flexible to your needs/real life happenings. I wouldn’t consider it on demand so much as “hey, here’s the next package and guide” periodically. If you have time to do it, we move to the payment and what not process. If you don’t? No problem, no obligation. In that same vein though I only ask you respect my time as well because if I wanted to wait two weeks for slots to get done, I’d just do it myself because I do like one slot a day before I want to flip a table. Sounds fair to me at least.

Multiple people can “apply”, it’s not a “grab it before it’s gone” job. If you have the skill to do it and we can meet a payment agreement price, we’re all good.

Anyone who is seriously interested please feel free to message me. You can reach me here with the Ask/Messenger, or on the PBK Discord or Sims Crafters Discord.

3) 3-5 pieces of your best work- poetry or prose or prose poetry or whatever. Be interesting!
4) A few paragraphs or so about you as a person- tell us about your life, personality, work habits, interests; essentially, why we should chose you!
5) your favorite author(s)/poet(s)!
6) if you are applying for the social media/outreach position, explain why you think you can do the best job & what you can bring to the (metaphorical) table.
