No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I know I’m qualified, and my local post office REALLY wants me to work with them. And I was even selected as an RCA last time, but the only reason I didn’t take the job is because I didn’t have a minivan. (I have a car, not a minivan).

However, even though the LOCAL post office told me that I would be a great fit for the ARC position, the HR in Washington DC denied my application and I didn’t even get an email notifying me about it.

So I sent another application, and I decided to call HR in Washington DC. They seem kinda rude, and they flat out told me, “Hiring you is not their descision to make.”, which seems like BS to me because the LOCAL post office knows all about me, and the people in Washington DC know NOTHING about me.

What’s the secret? How do I penetrate this HR Bureaucracy?

Why would you go in there?

Are these people you know who legitimately think you'd be a good fit?

I had assumed you knew them and they would help you. But from this comment it seems you may not actually know them.

They're 100% not going to take you into any sort of back office and sit down to help you while on the clock regardless.

But if you actually know them and they're actually saying you'd be good at it and should apply, then asking if they can take a look at your resume and give you some advice is a pretty normal ask for friends.

If you don't know them, then Google what kind of resume the Post Office wants yourself.
