The way gas is rising the railroad is really booming. West coast Nters try BNSF
AceRawstein speaks the truth! Many jobs at least on a company's career center or website is just to scout out the candidate field. 75%, def true number, they are already to just promote internally. It's like free marketing research to see what's out there and what $ willing to concede for.Originally Posted by Ace Rawstein
killing apart about a lot of this is...and im not sure if many of the younger people out there know this, but in government...Ill say 75% of the time you see a job listing the organization already has someone in mind that they want to hire that is already with the organization and posting the job is just a technicality
yea a good amount of the times the positions are opened for individuals are are transferring, or being promoted from within the company.Originally Posted by triplekrown

I just graduated with my masters....got an MPA, been working on this job appointment with my state government for the last 3 years, contract ends in a lil over a month and Im gonna be let go bottom line. They have been hit hard by the budget cuts and be laying off people left and right...buy the grace of God I was able to hold on this long
I try apply to at least 5-10 jobs a day... ill say between April and May im well into the upper 100s with the apps.
How many interviews you ask? 3 three mutha @#$% interviews. One of them I networked my tail off for and still waiting to hear back. Other one said I was overqualified and the most recent one I aced the interview but found out this morning they wont even be able to fill the position anymore because of budget cuts
things depressing but good luck to all yall looking for work.
one more thing $%^@# usajobs.gov!!...gettin a job on there is like spotting a unicorn
Not sure about everyone else, but at least in my situation, I can't even get those penny-enny jobs. Sometimes I think I should leave off that I have a college degree because they may be hesitant to hire someone who they know will leave once they get an opportunity to move on.Originally Posted by ricky409
question for everyone...
what's wrong w/ gettin a lil penny-enny job to make ends meet until you can get the job you want?
i've applied at Hibbets, Enterprise, and a hospital in the past two weeks and got offers from all of them..
and these are just jobs i'm contemplating to work on my MBA...
not even something i want to do forever, but if i can get on and make somewhat decent paper, then why not?
i'm no job expert...
but i think that a current job would make the job search less stressful...
many folks in here have degrees...
so what's the deal? am i missing something?
flame suit on deck if i offended anyone...
yea, you really do have to leave off some stuff. employers dont wanna hire and train you if they knew you are gonna jump ship real fast. i told them i was still in school (when in fact, i already graduated a few yrs ago) and looking for pt work and that is how i got my job. it is less stressful since you are getting a paycheck, but college grads dont wanna bust their !%* for low paying jobs when they got bills and loans to pay off.Originally Posted by asianplayer
