I tested negative for Covid yesterday
First day back to heavy squats yesterday. Today I feel worse than I did when I had Covid 
I contacted a hiring manager the other day about a Software Engineer role, really just hoping for an informational interviewā¦ She contacted me today asking for a resume and has a meeting scheduled for tomorrow.
I confess I do not have afforementioned resume and am riddled with imposter syndrome right meow.
EDIT
I shit out a resume and didnāt even abuse ChatGPT for it (because the server was too bogged down).

Andrew you could probably pay someone online to revise it for you, it would be worth it.

Iāve got career services for that, but also i needed to have it done for tomorrow at 8amā¦ no time lol.
For future resumƩs, yes - absolutely.
My resume used to be so all over the place that I finally got a couple of welding certs so thst I could simplify it and just say that, and leave the rest for conversation during the interview.
I still get extremely nervous/scared in interviews though. Any time thereās a chance they may say no makes me nervous.

Are you impersonating a cat? Thatāll definitely make you feel like an imposter.

I wouldnāt worry about this, bro. Iām 14 years into a career for which I am not qualified, and have continued to receive promotions/raises and have reached the top spot in my current situation. Youāll just get in there and figure it out.
Especially since, like you (I believe), I spent 13 weeks on an island off the coast of South Carolina being brainwashed into knowing that I will accomplish whatever task is laid before me with the required aggression and āgusto.ā Whether I know what the hell Iām doing or not.
Youāll be fine.

UPDATE
The meeting was scheduled for 8am this morning; she messaged me and said
Andrew, I browsed through your resume. Can we push the meeting to after 4:30pm tomorrow. I would like to have time to talk to a couple of people here
^this makes me think she liked my resume more than she anticipated, and is now much more seriously vetting me for this position. I find myself in an unusual state of anxiousā¦ Weāll see how it goes.

I absolutely hate college. Itās not a workload issue but more of a shitty professor and terrible lecture thing. Feels like a waste of money and time. Is this normal or is it just me?
Iām unsure what youāre meaning by this.
Some professors are only there to work on their research and lecture out of obligation. Those dudes suck. When I was in my undergrad, I essentially majored in specific professors. Whatever they were teaching, I was taking.

Yeah fixed that typo lmao. Thatās kinda what my problem is. Nost of the professors (Iāve had so far or have currently) give mediocre lectures. I realize itās my freshman year but itās aggravating
Some of it may be that, the college I attend is most definitely a party school. Not really my cup of tea but thatās a lesser factor
Itās amazing how many āeducatorsā donāt focus on the delivery part of education. Theyāre effectively glorified slide readers. I prided myself on my ability to show interest in the topic I was discussing, make connections with my listeners, use new analogies, and ultimately not act like I was slowly dying while I was up there.
Are you in pre-req stuff right now? Higher division got better for me.
Mostly general education stuff. I took a history of sport class last semester and taking a principals of conditioning class this semester. Only 2 classes that have interested me so far

Yeah, most profs arenāt going to care about those classes because itās not their specialty and theyāre typically talking to a lot of non-majors that are just knocking out their gen requirements. When they get into their element, they can get better.
To make it like training: this is the GPP phase of the big training block. Lots of boring work, but itās setting up for something good. Kinda like the plate loading and sled dragging that happened here

I really like this way of phrasing it, haha. Thatās been my approach as well.

Any chance you have positions open? I live in New York, so it would have to be remote, but Iāve become disgruntled at my current employer for multiple reasaons.
Sadly I donāt have any remote positions open across any company currently.
I have the greatest business idea ever,
You should open up a Barber Shop, but call it Bauber Shop
Get it?? Cause your username kinda sounds like Barber!
Hehahashahehshahwhā¦.Iām funny now laugh
