Ask for advice.

Has anyone been getting a "400 Bad Request" error on Tumblr? I can't even log in because of it.

Yes, though it only seems to happen on the front page/dashboard. Individual blogs can still be seen.

Yeah I'm getting this too, only on Firefox though...

Have you tried making better requests

I've been getting it too. :/

Posted in reply for length.

I applied for a job as Production Planner for a well established company with manufacturing companies in three countries. It was sort of one a whim because I didn't think I'd get a callback but I have been employed for six months.

My most relevant job was my most recent warehouse one that I had for three year. This was my resume stuff for that.

"-Designed training plan to teach new employees on use of specialized machinery and company regulations
-Directed employees in order to achieve production goals while maintaining product quality
-Utilized software to create marketing material for distribution to customers and website displays
-Coordinated with other departments to assist them in meeting company deadlines
-Assisted customers with finding the ideal product for their projects and with the checkout process
-Verified correctness and quality of incoming product shipments
-Accurately picked and packaged products in order to ship to customers and bulk distributors"

All of the above is true but it is nowhere near what I think I'd need for the job I applied for. For one, I was only ever in charge of 2-3 other employees.

The main things I am worried about are my negotiation skills and Excel skills. I have a basic understanding of Excel (I can sort of do pivot tables) and they wanted proficient. They require negotiation skills and the only negotiation I've done is between employees who are fighting.

I did have to meet 'production needs' but it was all done in our small warehouse. I never had to coordinate with other manufacturing plants (IN OTHER COUNTRIES!).

So, what can I do to prepare for this interview?

Focus on the things that you know that you can do - on the contributions that you can make to their business and the skillset that you're bringing. You can always pick up the things that you don't have experience with. Be honest about your experience and skillset, but positive and upbeat.

I'll try to be positive. One of the guys interviewing me is apparently a bit of a hardass. D:

How do you stop feeling guilty for an on the job accidental death? I wasn't the cause of it, but I was busy doing my part of the teamwork and had my back turned when one of my team members was dragged and run over by a plane loader's outrig.

The real bad bit is that I didn't really know the woman. She was with us on our team for two days. She had moved from the dayside shift to working nights.

Other than that, I feel...like I normally do, though I now have a bit of a fear of running the loaders now. Hopefully that'll pass soon...

Have you asked about therapy from work? Do you have insurance?

Seconding the therapy suggestion here. Even though you have no reason to feel guilty that kind of incident can leave a mark. At the very least keep a friend nearby that you can talk to if you need it. Especially if you witnessed it yourself, that must be traumatic.

That's terrible, Anon! I'm sorry.

Definitely see if there's a way to talk to a therapist or grief counselor through work, and if not, try to set something up yourself. Failing that, just talking to a friend or relative might help.
