    Default job hunting... anything available?

    well.. heres my situation in a nutshell.

    I moved to Atlanta to start a business, but we have come across a few road blocks. I quit my last job about 6 months too early . Had I known we weren't going to be able to get this off the ground by summer, I would have stayed.

    My background consists of Business Development, Marketing/Advertising/Promotions, Event Coordination, Sales, Communications.

    I have a Bachelors of Science in Entrepreneurial Studies and a minor in Management.

    In my last position, I was in the top 5 of 50 sales people with outstanding CSI.

    I'm not necessarily looking for full-time or part-time positions, but more of something where i can learn something and utilize my time wisely. I learn quick and love the different facets of business, especially problem-solving.

    If you think you know of a position that can fit my skills and your company, please let me know.

    thanks,

    dan


    btw. i live in gwinnett, but i am house shopping so location is important, but somewhat flexible. in terms of compensation, im pretty open at this point, im not necessarily looking for a job based on how much money i will make, but more what i can contribute and learn as well. i also prefer working with small businesses, they usually have much better atmospheres and corporate politics.

    thanks again and i hope to hear from you soon.

    Ummm. I think most Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper stands are available for newspaper purchases. There are CLASSIFIED ADS in the back part that have all kinds of job listings. Later, QD.

    Not really. But good attempt at getting at me. Are you not capable of coming up with something not only of your own, but original? Reading some (or most) of your posts leads me to believe that it would not be the case. I would say Nice Try, but I would be lying. Later, QD.

    I've got a business management degree with emphasis in euntrepreneurship. I'm about to move to the ATL in the next couple months to find a job/plan a business, let me know how your search turns out.

    Im sorry I can't come up with anything new. You have been around for a long time, and have pissed a lot of people off in that time. In that long length of time, prolly everything I could come up with to say, has already been said by another person. Its hard to make fun of or point out a person flaws over the internet, but I would love to do it person. This all I know about you - you bitch like a mother,chase ghost, spend all your time on ia.

    Try not to be a asshole, man the guy is just looking for job. Most ppl who get jobs today, know somebody that work there that got them the job.

    I've maybe pissed off about 5, possibly 6 people. That's not a lot of people. They have all gotten over it, as have I. Now we're cool. If

    You're probably right. I've heard it all to the fact that I drive a Neon to the ghost hunting thing I do. It's hard to get creative with those two.

    I really don't have any flaws over the Internet. I hardly think ghost hunting is a flaw.

    Sure. If you're talking about just bullshitting around. If you're looking for more, then no thanks. I don't get down like that.

    If that's all you know, you don't know much and you don't know what you think you know. Later, QD.

    I disagree, but I'll leave it alone. And I'm not being an asshole. Just giving some good old fashioned advice. Later, QD.

Good luck man, sorry I never ended up buying a car from you (still have your card, sadly enough I handed some out and someone I know is going to be buying a solara in the near future and had your info and all that....)

    the only thing bad about ia is that alot of people will get on here and bash you, some people have no respect, but as to your question im sorry all i could say is maybe someone on here might have something for you, and then there is always like monster.com and places like that if you run out of options, good luck man

    thanks guys... yeah, i've been looking through all of the papers, websites and everything else you can think of. You just never know anymore, some of the best jobs people land happen in the places you'd least expect to find them. gotta keep networking....
