I have recently started looking again and I can tell you that it is insanely competitive and a very tight market.

I had an interview about 3 weeks ago. The person interviewing made it sound like the worst job in the world.

I withdrew my candidacy. I regret it in hindsight.


Why would the interviewer shite on the position?

So why do you want to come to work for us?
I think I have a lot to offer....
No seriously, WHY the frick would you want to?

Those are some nice tits, but I'm surprised they didn't try to poke your eyes out. Our blues go fricking nuts when you get within 25' of their nest.

I've had two calls this week from companies wanting me to consider a position with them, and I'm not even looking. Feast or famine I guess. Good luck, it'll happen.

when economy tanks, white collar desk jobs are the first to go. physical labor jobs are still there because labor is still needed no matter what, but us ot ballers are too good for jobs like that.

got let go of a job and two days later had an interview and started work the following week.

first day at the new job got an email from a company that i submitted my resume to. i responded back I had already found a job and wasnt interested, but the next day said screw it since this was a way better offer and company. worked at the intermediate company for a month before I got my official offer. it was a crazy 2 months but I am at a company now I feel I can stay with until retirement (and then collect a sweet pension )

Is this the new Job Board?

If so, I'm looking for an entry level job in the chemistry field near Houston. Need $40k/yr.

I'm more interested in working in forensics, but I fear that's a pipe dream.

I'm pretty sure that someone is selling data bases, and I'm pretty sure I know who it is in this case.

The shitiest thing about a career is the more experience and salary you get, the harder it is to find a job elsewhere. I've overinflated myself enough where I'm at that if I ever get laid off or fired, I'm f***ed.

Haha if it is the job board I am looking to get out of Power and Gas and into Oil. So if anyone needs someone to schedule oil, please let me know.
