Job Search Sites

Really good point in re social media. I have Managers who are very good at scoping out all the social media sites to see what's what with applicants. People post some wild stuff about themselves online. We've found some crazy stuff = cya!

Also, we do credit & criminal checks. Any company doesn't do this nowadays is fool city.

We always let applicants know that we will be running these checks. In fact, the applicant signs off on this. So, if you have some stuff, maybe a run of bad luck, medical hell where you couldn't pay your bills & your credit is shot, the recession hurt you bad & there's a bankruptcy....pick your time & place & let the employer know.

Same thing for the DL. If you're gonna drive a company rig, my insurance company will determine your eligibility from that standpoint, not me. Don't sit there & say you have a clean license when in fact you have all sorts of moving violations. The stuff shows up, easily, from other states, too, and it's free for us to get this info. We always check. We want responsible drivers in our rigs.

Oh, and if you get the job? Don't tell the employer a few weeks later that you're 3 months pregnant. Or that you have a wedding to go to in India & you need 3 weeks off in February, which is in, like, 4 months. Or that you have to go to a wedding for your third cousin in Mississsippi in two weeks. You do that sort of crap & you've just fried your credibility, because you are now seen as a high maintenance, calculating, selfish, non-team player who probably won't be around long 'cause you're in it for yourself only. We hired you to dig in & get busy, join the team & help us achieve success, yours & the company's. Not join up & galavant off.

And if you don't have the pto, don't say hey don't worry you don't need to pay me but I need to be off 2 days next week. You're hired to fill a need. When you're not here, it increases the work load on your teammates. That's why we give you paid time off & holidays. Anything more? You're pushing your luck: sure take that unscheduled unpaid time off for Bluto's bar mitzvah. We'll find someone else who wants to be here.

During the interview, we will ask you 'so what questions do you have for us, Cuthbert?'

You don't ask about bennies; you don't ask about vacay time; you don't say oh no questions at all.

You're interviewing for a position with us; you should have, and we want you to have lots & lots of inquisitiveness, asking intelligent, thought-out questions that show that you want to be part of the team!

 

yankee works as a gvt contractor doing cyber security, that gvt titty is fat eh?

 

Not even. Our revenue is from private sector, sparky. Just cause people live & work in metro DC, MISthing, doesn't mean all people are feeding off your moron tax dollars.

Fact is, we just live here - - you are the true believers who send us the total assclowns who comprise the USA's current state of malfeasance.

whats your smallest surfboard, u fattazz?

ppl that really know sh!t don't just give it out. u r fat.

 

Another thought- if the OP really cares are is continuing to read this: (I think he abandoned us)

Make sure your resume is top notch and sounds awesome- cause there are a lot of ppl with resumes out there that list things that they arnt or make it sounds better then they are. Your resume has to be attractive and true. A lot has changed in the past 5 years with resumes.

Also- custome make your resume to each job you apply for. Change words in it to the words that they use in the job posting. A lot of bigger companies have electronic filters on all the resumes that come there way- and yours could earlier be filtered out. Example: job posting states job requirement is to have a BS- but you have better, a MS. So on your resume you list only your MS- assuming that they would understand you already got the BS. But you would be filtered out before anyone sees it cause they think hour unqualified cause you didn't list a BS.

Anyways- hope this helps. The hardest part is actually breaking thru to get the face to face interview.

 

Having done my first job search in about a decade last summer, this is what I found. Indeed.com seems to have every job posting that's out there. If there are particular companies you want to work for, definitely get in their database. Sometime opportunities pop up that way even if it's silent for months. I didn't find other sites much more useful. I had a couple interviews also result from theladders.com. When anyone reached out to me through theladders.com, I was interviewing. Definitely find a couple recruiters in your geography and go meet them in person. You'll get some opportunities that way.

 

One can also get pharmaceutical advice from geezers......

 

Oh Barry


And I'm happy we have a large amount of these said 'geezers' on the forums here at swellinfo

 

You mean the board that wayne just jammed up thine arse?

Fat, drunk & stupid is no way to go through life, fruit bar.

 

Can't get into that whole, "Join the team and make us successful stuff."

I've seen the movie Gung-Ho and I'm not Japanese. I'm not obese like that Cheers dude either but....

I never have any questions, either, at the interview. Yeah, just here for money, don't really care to make up some query.

I dress most wonderfully.

Dude looking for employment advice, start seeking Canadian citizenship. The liberals have the helm, again. Yeah, that Harper was such a tight-arse.

Anyways, they'll be giving out welfare weed up there soon, along with housing that is A-Ok by American standards and all the stuff you need.

And, you may have to do some oil work in Fort McMarruy or whatever, initially, but save-up and bail to the Jordan River area. Yeah, maybe forced to Alberta to start if those oil sands are currently worth anything(oh yeah we have oil experts on here, too.)

And get a boat, too, when the government starts handing them out.

I figure, I've been saying, "aboot" for ages so I should have a foot-in-the-door. It's going to be choice.

Remember guys, real surfers don't work. Jeez, get a few sponsors.....I ride for Tomar's Discount Liquor Store and Bruni's Pizza. I'm trying to get some of my drug dealers to sponsor me. Hey, kids and 40-year-old groms want to do the drugs I do.
