yeah it's shit, you should try some agencies, they do all the work for you |

the shittiness kind of depends on whether you want to do something you actually like, or you'll do just about anything because you need the money. the first is a lot harder and shittier. the second is easier but leads to a shittier life. it's ALL fun. |

I've been looking for a bit. My work record isnt really the best and even though i went to school for HVAC all companies want 3-5 years experience. Dicks. A friend of mine explained i should put that i did an album for a web label because it explains that i was working during a duration of time even though i was unpaid. Seems like a good idea. I will be trying this. Alex is dead right on his post. |

watch out for the trap of Taking a Job You Hate But Pays Well And Saying That It Isn't That Bad Because You'll Look For a Job You Really Like In The Meantime.. chances are you'll get stuck. doesn't have to happen, but a lot of people do get mired in their shitty job. |

that all depends. i disagree that those statements are universal. |

I just quit my job. Some people in my lab are mad about it because i'm bailing on them and transfering to another department. They seem to think i had made a 2 year commitment, which in a way is true. But actually it was more of a verbal agreement. They told me they would run out of money for me, and I told them that if they could get money to keep me I would stay for at least 2 years. but over the past 2 months, i have been trying to get them to promote me to an adequate job classification and fair wage for my experience. they kept blowing me off. so when my old boss offered me a promotion and a 15% raise I said, "hell yes!" i'm being promoted from "research scientist assistant" to "research scientist / engineer 2" plus my new lab bench and desk will have a clear view of Mt. Ranier. it's gonna be phat! |

I'm not looking yet because i'm so fucking behind at college that i'd fail completely if i found a new job. 4 or 5 weeks and it'll be all ties and shiny, shiny shoes again though i suppose. Interviews suxx0r. |

research scientist / engineer 2 sounds like the guy that would get killed on an away mission on Star Trek. |

i was unemployed and looking for work for all of 2003. i'm sure i applied for more than 100 jobs (including one where i was asked how i would feel about students attacking me, spitting at me, and swearing at me...), and had only 2 or three interviews (and one offer, which i declined) until i went to a temp agency in desperation. i'm not sure there is anything worse than applying for jobs, and then meeting with strangers to calmly explain why they shouldn't send you packing... my condolences... i've been very lucky, however, as i got my current job without an interview and with no competition (they knew my work as a temp and wanted to hire me without interviewing anyone else). |

in fairness tho...there's worse things in life than having an obsene amount of time on your hands. it's once you get to the stage of picking up dust on your hands and knees to keep busy and sitting looking out the window for the postman beside your dog that you realise it's time to move on=] |

well i chose that title over "henchman class 1" and "meat-shield / reptile fodder 3" but maybe you're right. i'd better not agree to any assignments abroad! |

i agree totally. having been laid off 3 times in 3 years (this job is the first time i've ever worked someplace longer than 2 years), i was constantly interviewing for new jobs. I was repeatedly explaining that, no, i wasn't fired for incompetence, and yes, my previous company was bought out by the Irish and dissolved. This is the first time that a job came to me, at a time when I was actually ready to quit! |

The thing I love about interviews is when they give you a tour of the company afterwards, knowing full well that they're not going to give you the job. It's so... nice of them. |

"..and this the department you'd be working on, with these fine people.." "oh. maybe I should say hello?" "... mm.. better not." |

I'm in an odd position because I have a job that I rreally rreally love. Well, I worrk with people I rreally love. Most of them arre looking forr otherr worrk anyway so will be leaving and I'm currrrently on zerro hourrs which has been paying off ok forr the time being but I quite simply can't afforrd to stay. It makes looking even harrderr... I'm tempted to do the agency thing but I'm too picky. I need to get out of that picky state of mind. Therre is a job going in a factorry prroduction line 8.54 an hourr... but a prroduction line? |
