AYO FUCK APPLYING FOR JOBS

[Sammich]

heard overseas they dont have retirement or something of that sort...you better be good saving your money

[EM1toEVO]

At a quarter mil a year, it shouldn't be too hard to save. I wish I could do something like that.

[Sammich]

mc hammer...jus sayin lol

[Mista Foe-Doe]

times are stupid hard now.....i jus got hired yesterday at lowes tho

[Vteckidd]

I don't know about a 1/4 million but I know people making $100000-150000 easily. You have to have more than just mcp or a+ certs to get that kind of money. I'm in the security field (just starting) so I'm staying away from the average jobs.

IT makes good money and you don't need a college degree but it is saturated ie there is a alot of people in the field but companies are hiring all the time. Govt isn't running out of money anytime soon.

Sammich what do you do where are you trying to get hired?

[Vteckidd]

You make 3 times what you make here usually tax free. But the time for overseas work is drawing down since we are pulling out of Iraq

I agree that if you are being told over-educated or under-educated then you're not giving a good interview. I have ZERO IT experience (formal training) but I have a strong resume IMO. I have a ton of management experience and run my own business that does over $250,000 in sales per year alone.

I got an interview with TEK systems and the guy told me as soon as they get approved for funding on a new project I'm hired. He has since contacted me back to Check up so I have a good feeling. He also called me in for another meeting on Friday.

In my interview I was quick and to the point, he asked me why I was switching career fields and I gave him a simple answer, I was confident but not cocky, I'm a good people person so I usually start off professional and by the end of the interview the interviewer is casual and cracking jokes lol

polish up on your resume make it sound better and work on your interview skills.

Sammich what do you do where are you trying to get hired?

right now i am game to move where the job can take me, as bad as things are, i would probably take a job at 13/hr...i know i'm probably selling myself short, but being jobless...thats decent money that you can work with, know what i mean.

but i have a associate degree in civil engineering, and at my previous employment, i did AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 and the like. but if i can get into IT, i'm game, i know there is money in IT

[EJdm]

yea my buddy was desperate...he was in the IT field and was laid off and needed a job bad to support his family of 5 and applied with us...starting pay is $12 packing and our boss didnt want to hired him...job hunting his hard now and days

[Sammich]

IT seems like a booming career right now

[kain]

vteckidd, im currently going to school to be in the security field, but i wanna specialise in something such as linux.

the thing with tech jobs is that people are intimidated by it. look at all that is required by most of the job postings out there.

i know linux fairly well ( ok just know it ) and just to get a basic job in linux you need to atleast be proficient in LAMP. its weird. however the output of fresh tech students has dropped 40% or so since like.. 2006? i dont know. thats a lot. people are doing shitty get shit quick learning programs. a+ and microsoft certs are not my cup of tea.

[AirMax95]

As stated earlier: Answer the interview questions as they are asked. Only explain more if asked. Over talking in an interview will almost 100% guarantee you are going to put your foot in your mouth because you are trying too hard.

Also, send simple thank you letter recapping the interview, as well as a SIMPLE follow up in a week or 2. HR people see individuals all day and love simplicity.

In this job market first impressions are KEY.

[AirMax95]

With that said, there are positions open in Duluth for a PC/LAN Technician (Comp Sci/IT degree required) and Kennesaw for an Inventory Administrator.

PM me only if you are serious (I will request a resume...)

[xxbckiexx]

those are just excuses for "you're too ugly/too black for us to hire you."

[Sammich]

^seriously, stfu

i wish i went into IT at tech instead of my field

yea i have a civil engineering technology degree (associate though, no certifications) i freakin wish...i wish i knew solidworks, arcview, and so many other kind of CAD type programs. i need to call my local tech school and see if their technical certificate program includes more than just AutoCAD. i heard solidworks was easier than CAD though..

thanks i will put in an application

[Vteckidd]

Yeah autocad just doesn't seem like a particularly hard skill to learn. You may be reaching the crest of your education meaning , you are not qualified for higher jobs, too qualified in terms of experience for lower jobs.

That and civil engineering is dead right now. Lots of people laid off looking for jobs.

I mean that's how I was man 3 years ago. I was tired of making $14000-18000 a year working for other peoples small businesses. It sucked I could have been making $50-70000 a year as a service manager at a dealership.

But the problem was I had all this management experience at small shops so I was qualified, but no dealership experience so I couldn't get hire at a dealer. Thats when I decided to start my own business and my plan was getting out of cars for good in 2-3 years as a main source of income. Two years later and I'm there.

I just realized anybody in the performance shop industry isn't making $50000-60000-70000-80000 etc per year at all. Not even close. Why stay in an industry with only lateral movement? Only people making money in performance car shops had money to begin with. Or general maint shop OWNeRS make good money.

My advice is evaluate where you are in your career and what you're lacking and figure out if this is really the smart field to be on longterm. What does your career require you to know to make $60000-70000-80000+ in that field? Figure it out and start gettig that education

otherwise you'll always be expendable and on he bottom rung

and who you know makes a huge difference , work on social skills

Finding a new job is a pain in the ass. Either you gotta know someone or be a smooth talker. And by smooth talker, I mean bullshit you way in to a job. .

I know no one and not much for bsing people. But I gotta find a new job, so if I gotta start bsing, I'm going to start bsing!

[psychodrama_81]

I have come to terms with "It's now what you know, but who you know."

[Sammich]

all day long...you will almost never get a job just off of knowledge anymore, you have to use connects and form new ones

[ARH1192]

all day long...you will almost never get a job just off of knowledge anymore, you have to use connects and form new ones

[blaknoize]
