Checking in, Was notified i'd be laid off, they gave me an extra 3 weeks. Aerospace FTL!! This economy sucks, anybody know of any positions in the bayarea? (from West Pittsburg, ca) I been calling temp agency after temp agency, no type of assignments. Unemployment has helped but losing 30% of my income isnot crackin.

 

[imasoleman18]

[loveofthegame916]

Personally, I believe submitting applications online is the biggest waste of time. If you do some research, you will find out that it is not an effective wayof finding a job. It's all about who you know.

My friends who all were bums in college got jobs through people they knew. Me, a graduate from the University of Maryland with a 3.5 GPA and majored inbusiness can't find anything. It's very discouraging especially when you worked so hard in college.

[td the god]

Yea it's all who you know out there...I have a BS in Mech Engineering but I have gone towardsthe sale aspect of manufacturing and engineering...so there aren't many openings for someone with my credentials and when there is; I need more experience.I'm in Toronto and things have been slim since I moved back last year....I'm hoping to get a position with one of these Wireless providers outhere...retail and business sales in wireless never really goes down and I can sell anything effectively...if not, Aldo is hiring....I can sell shoes to prettyfemales....I'm hopin either one gets back with me

 

[thunderchunk69]

good thing you have a degree.... JUST KIDDING!

 

[wraith aka invincible]

i cant get anything

 

[651akathepaul]

Don't let the "it's who you know" mantra effect you. For the most part that is true, but only if you're looking for the easy road to adesired job. You can still get a job the old way of being very persistent. Just be a man on a mission and you'll find something for sure.

Guys check out indeed.com as well.

 

[ill w1lliam]

I scheduled a interview tomorrow. Hopefully it goes well.

You guys should see if there is a career center in your area. In The Bay we have this place called EastBay Works they have a ton of job postings, resume help workshops, etc. They have a list of sites on their website herehttp://http://www.eastbayworks.org/categories.php?id=12 with other sites that have job openings mostly Cali butmaybe other states (not sure on that). Maybe it will help somebody. out.

do you not want to work an engineering job, or you cant get one? do you have any work experience in engineering? even engineering fields are suffering, butyou should be able to get into SOMETHING. but if you don't have experience or anything, I can def understand it being harder to get a job during thesetimes

I have great experience just not enough years....just not traditional engineeringexperience...I'm more into technical sales and applications of industrial equipment....so I can't get a design job because I don't have that typeof experience..

There's work if you lower your standards. Times are rough.
