re: Looks like I'm joining the ranks of the unemployed, any tips?quote: Yeah yeah. The majority of those were before I was with the place where I was employed. You might notice I've been here since Jan 2004. I've put my work in Hog fag. Reply • Back to Top |
| Powerman, I've always thought you to be one of the more intelligent folks on this site but did you ever finish your degree (might be thinking of someone else who was discussing one time about finishing?). That piece of paper will get you in a door sometimes before experience (as wrong as that is), but someone else had good advice about you contracting yourself out - solid workers find plenty of work as a contractor. Good luck with everything.  Reply • Back to Top |
| download the indeed.com app and check that everyday. job listing are posted all the time and monster and career builder are crap Reply • Back to Top |
quote: yep, indeed and linkedin seem to be the only career websites even worth looking at. And anything decent on monster/careerbuilder will be on indeed anyway (I've been jobsearching over 6 months now... so maybe my advice isn't the best... but I think I'll have a new job in the next month or so) Reply • Back to Top |
quote: same here (well more like 4 months) i did get my PE to add to my resume and am waiting on word for a company i interviewed with 2 weeks ago so hopefully something will happen.. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: You would be right. I don't know if I'm going to finish my EE degree but I'm definitely going to look into furthering my skill set in the next couple months via some job training courses like Primavera Scheduling and such. If I go back to school I think I'm going to just start over with industrial engineering. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: I know several planner/schedulers with Turner who have gone through their "Planning Bootcamp" and they say they learned a ton about Primavera and other scheduling tools that way. Maybe that is something worth looking into? I'm not sure if other companies or schools offer that, I've just heard it's a good learning experience. Reply • Back to Top |
| Good to know. I actually worked for Turner in 2002 as a construction hand. I don't know if that will help me at all with them. Reply • Back to Top |
