Is the situation that bad down South, or is this more sensationalism by the media?
The recession never really hit here, so we've been pretty lucky.

I should have thought you would be smart enough to realise that not everyone inherits money like you and can afford to do nothing all day.

Last year it took me half a year to find a few part-time jobs; I sent out tons of CVs too.
Economy is shit, which is why I am back in uni doing this MSc in the hopes that it might lead somewhere.

I have a way she can make 10 bucks quick.....should the recession hit there.

The whole process is stupid, nonsensical, informal and phony.
Sending out resume`s, going for an interview....hahahhahhah ahah
Yet people keep on with the pointless charades.

No. I believe in eliminating the charade and hiring on the spot, first come first serve, filling jobs for those who need or want to work.

its a numbers thing........not EVERYONE who graduates college is gonna find a good job soon............especial ly now-a-days when a college degree is what a high school diploma was 35 years ago...........you need a graduate degree to even impress anyone
but still, i went to well respected university, and all my friends got jobs coming out of school
the group having the hardest time, is not recent graduates........its white males in their 40 and 50s.........who, as their companies downsize and eliminate positions cause of the economy and new tschnology are having an IMPOSSIBLE time breaking back into the workplace
.......corporations would rather higher a kid on the cheap, then pay a large salary to a older more experianced employee
my father went to U of Penn Wharton (arguably the top business school in the country)..........and had a very rough time of things in the 2000s

I have a master's degree and going on my 2nd one now. Shit is hard right now.

Sooner or later, this College bubble is gonna burst. Most college courses can be taught via distance learning at a tiny fraction of the cost.

Took an entire 12 course certificate program online. It cost more than the same program if it was taken in class, but I was able to do it in my own time while holding down a full time job.

i agree, college was worthless for me intellectually
its just a money racket
just like the trades like an electrician or a heavy diesel mechanic takes specific job intensive schooling........i believe thats how college should
you think i actually remember , or employ , an information i gleaned from some psychology 301 class in my daily life...........probably a 4 thousand dollar course, completely worthless

The only reason why employers LOVE the system is because they know the potential workers are in debt and won`t be going anywhere, therefore they can treat them any way they like.
Good Obedient workers in debt. What more can you want as an employer?
-
No. I believe in eliminating the charade and hiring on the spot, first come first serve, filling jobs for those who need or want to work.
Obviously, you've never been in a position to hire someone, to know what sort of responsibility it entails.
Don't mean that as a snipe, but more of an observation.
-

Take a good look at all the online clothing sites. They're getting crushed, going out of business etc. The recession is massive.
-

It depends solely on what you are hiring for and what type of job it is.
Obviously I`m not going to hire an armless midget to swing a hammer on the rail line, but he would be a perfect fit in my traveling circus.
Hiring someone is more than a stupid hour long face to face interview or a sheet of paper with pointless "credentials".

people talk about it being over............
i believe personally, and a lot of people i know, that it has barely even started
we are talking a massive crisis, a disappearing middle class, complete global unrest,

That's exactly the point of the interview - to see how the applicant matches up in person to the image they portray through their resume. You are right in that it depends on the job, which is why I made my post, because the more important the position, the greater care you need to take when you hire someone to do the job. And you can't gauge a person solely via their CV.
If you are are an actual employer (and not someone who's in the position of hiring someone or a recruitment agent), it's a fair assumption that you put in some solid effort in your venture/company to take it to a stage where it's grown enough to warrant hiring outside help. In such a case, you'd be spitting on your own face and efforts, by hiring the first person who applies or shows up for the vacancy, without any second considerations.
If you took pride in what you've created, you'd want the best person for the job, whom you can't find without going through a few candidates to see what kind of talent is out there to be employed. If you're running a strip bar or construction work force, then yes, you can hire people on the spot without going through a whole list of candidates.

I disagree with your statement, "the more important the position, the greater care you need to take when you hire someone". Football players have the most pointless, least important job, yet they go to great lengths to find and hire people they think will make the most money for their teams.
Teachers have nearly THE most important job to do, yet not so much care is taken to hire them, as much as a football player for instance.
-
Omg, who are these people kidding? Going out and showing up in person with the boss should be self-explanatory. "Doing it the old fashion way?" Wtf, thats no old fashion way - thats how it is supposed to be done! No wonder these retards dont get any answers and jobs, sending out resumes over the Internet. Fucking dorks, if they knew anything about the real job world it is like this.... You show up, talk with the boss and ask if there is anything avaiable. And if there is, good - you might get an interview and a job. If not, come again some other day. You gotta see this from the bosses perspective. They dont care about some resume you deliver, they just shuv that in another perm of resumes... The only time the bosses will care for your sorry ass is if they need help at that particular moment. In other words you have to get lucky! Your resume dont mean shit if you just meet up one time, and then a month later some other guy is there at the right time and he gets the job instead. My best tip is to be aggressive. You have to "take" the job, go to the same place serveal times to see if anything has changed. Nobody is gonna give you shit in this world so its all up to you.
But I can relate to a lot in this video as Im in the same situation. The job marked sucks ass these days! There is nothing out there right now. And getting an education does not mean your gonna get a job right away either. They may have an edge, but thats it. You just have to get lucky sometimes, thats the way it is. Thats the way it is with appartments and realitonships too. You cant always get what you want, but if your like me - you would do anything possible to get it.

thats b/c youre comparing a public service and a business...
a business main priority is to increase returns for stake holders...
a public service such as that of school doesnt make more money if their teachers are good or not
look at private colleges and their professor's pay, that is a business not a public service

Couldn't have said it better.
TA, I know your view on kids, but that aside, it's no different than finding a babysitter for your kid - you don't pick the first hag that comes along, but take time to make sure you're hiring someone responsible and with the skills for the job. Your analogy about the teachers is not right, cause if you look at a private institution, they ARE going to exert themselves a lot more than a government institute. That's the reason why companies have an entire section devoted to that aspect of the business viz. Human Resources.
The effectiveness of the HR department and their flaws is a whole different topic altogether, though.
-
I just moved to Florida this summer after living in Washington DC for a while, and I honestly feel it a lot more down here than I did up in DC. I see a lot more businesses closed down and going out of business, didn't see that much back up north!
-
it's very rough in south florida... construction died, tourism is down, and half the houses on every block seem to be foreclosed.
But if you hustle, you can always find a way to get by. I have a few avenues... but if all that fell thru, I'd either go back to teaching, or have sex with unattractive MILFs for $25 a pop.

Thats not true either. Do you think a "Science" teacher at Muslim Madrasah Private School or at a Christian based School is going to "exert themselves a lot more" than a Science Teacher at a top performing Public High School?

Uh, whats the point it does not make sense and is certainly not valid across the board. Besides how is it even "on topic".
Furthermore, I can name hundreds of Private Universities that don`t pay near as well as State Schools.
Private does not automatically mean that the jobs will pay more money or equate to being of a better quality.

I'm gonn have to second that... When I was doing my Masters at GWU (a private University) one of my classes was being taught by the CFO of the university.... he was telling me that the university is REALLY all about business first, then education second.... and its not just any business, its a MULTI-MILLION Dollar business, with holdings and tradings in Real Estate and lots of other financial entities. They don't fuck around when it comes to money!

Yep.
Quality management via human resources is vitally important to satisfying stakeholder requirements.

This is also Very true! Lots of state/government systems pay better plus have better pension packages!
-

Thats because the DC area apparently has the most young professionals in the nation...

Capital Cities do well when the government ramps up spending.

the group having the hardest time, is not recent graduates........its white males in their 40 and 50s
this i agree with because i have lived it.
with high demand skills forget getting hired to do anything.
I'm poor, dirt poor by today's standards but i don't work anymore,
aint gonna work anymore, got no debt, free obama-va care and consider myself to be quite well off
besides that working shit just interferes with living the dream goddamnit.
cannot have that

That's beside the point and while we are on the topic, if someone is slacking in their job because the system is flawed and has a whole lot of associated problems (read 'anything most things Government-related'), it means that someone needs to address the problems and fix them, not that everything else that works better should be reduced to that level of incompetency simply because it exists alongside.
My point is that if you are a business owner and hiring someone for a job in your company, you'd be taking just as much care with the selection as you would with anything else (or at least, ought to). But if you are working for $12/hour in a goverment agency and were put in charge of hiring people for positions you don't care about, then you're going to spend as little effort as possible to get the work done, so you can punch out at 5 pm and still get your paycheck at the end of the week.
Ignoring the context of the employer and making the sweeping generalization is where you went wrong.
-
Sooner or later, this College bubble is gonna burst. Most college courses can be taught via distance learning at a tiny fraction of the cost.
never happen as long as the focus is on college sports.
the football coach at ohio state is paid 1-2 million a year. why?
must be a demand huh. and it's huge. ask any pro scout
-
just like the trades like an electrician or a heavy diesel mechanic takes specific job intensive schooling........i believe thats how college should
you do realize that when you come out of that diesel school you are qualified to do
oil changes. that's it. an electrician same way. on the job is a totally different matter.
there's a huge auto mechanic school here. have their own race track and sponsore racers for god sakes.
but, the graduates, are qualified to work in a dealership and change oil.
cuz they leave school knowing fuck all nothing. but their parents can send em here
and spend 25-50k a year and have their kid out of their hair
-

That's the point, it's the complete inflation of education. Every moron has a high school diploma, many many morons have university degrees, that shit is worth NOTHING these days, you're one of thousands.
If you're not among the Top guys of your year, have many additional qualifications, work experience, foreign experience and 3 foreign languages you're gone, you can wipe your ass with your degree. As an academic you can't afford being average these days by any means, either you're top notch (3-5 guys per year who can really choose their jobs) or you have to take whatever you get (or you're in your parents basement for the next 40 years).
-
the modern university system, and capitalism as well, is just a huge scam which keeps the same tiny minority rich by (legally) exploiting the shit out of the rest of the population.
-
The whole process is stupid, nonsensical, informal and phony.
Sending out resume`s, going for an interview....hahahhahhah ahah
Yet people keep on with the pointless charades.
Spoken like a true trust fund child. ::) ::)

100% accurate.

Everything in life is a business.
and a sales job. if you can't sell your fucked.
because if you can't sell yourself then your stuck with
what is given to you rather than what you sold you yourself
and earned.
the biggest thing i see is this,
most people are followers and have to be told, few are leaders
and they even in fact have to be told.
the rest of us?
we do as the great frank sinatra said, i did it myyyy motherfuckingggg wayyyyyyyyyyyy

I love you fucking Germs. Quality post.
In ten to 15 years no one will be going to school unless it can be done from their parents home. If you don't have parents to house you, well good luck getting an education.
There's also aload of people in the third world competing for the same jobs.

you guys ever see Peter Schiff's commentary on college costs?

I was a card carrying cement mason for 5 years. if i had to pick up my tools
again i know for a fact i could get work. maybe not the money i would want
but then again i held a union journeymans card for 5 years so i can always go back
as a trial man and get work and be almost paid what i'm worth,
those who have been out of work along time and whine won't take a job
stacking boxes. because they know it would cause pain and discomfort and
involve doing something physical. omg we can't have that. and all of you know
this cuz we all train and do that for fun
-

no but tell me more, ill look into it

no our monetary system is what does this. think about it, a dollar bill
is not a dollar bill. it's a federal reserve note to be used debt created out of thin air.
backed by the full faith of our goverment which backs this air with more air in the
form of government bonds.
this is where the scam lies and we haven't talked about interest. where does that
come from? thin air? yep cuz all money is debt back by the faith of nothing.
this system keeps those who rule this country (federal reserve bankers) rich.

I hear ya. I was a glass cutter for a few years. The job is always there if I need it.

No. I believe in eliminating the charade and hiring on the spot, first come first serve, filling jobs for those who need or want to work.
As a guy who has hired employees for his own business, the above statement is just plain silly

it's very rough in south florida... construction died, tourism is down, and half the houses on every block seem to be foreclosed.
But if you hustle, you can always find a way to get by. I have a few avenues... but if all that fell thru, I'd either go back to teaching, or have sex with unattractive MILFs for $25 a pop.
It's bad in north Florida also but nothing compared to down there your way.
Networking will always be the best way to get a job. It's how I got mine and it's how I got my brother his. It's not what you know, it's WHO you know- you can bank on that shit. I have a degree from a respectable college but I beat out several other grads with masters and more experience lol

lol imagine hiring somoene on the spot to take care of clients' need's, budget appropriately and show the skill set required for that given profession hahhahahahah ....here you go, our client is Johnson and Johnson, the project is worth up to 1 Mill. , since you got here first I will assume that you will be fully prepared for the task ahead ... ::) ::)

If only people would have listened. No - instead we got a marxist/socialist hack at 1600 PA. Ave.
-
If you guys want to learn in one hour what you did not learn in your entire college career, listen to this and wake up.
-
And last but not least - best ever clip from Schiff.
But you idiot libs keep listening to hacks and fools like obama, krugman, etc. ::) ::) ::) ::)
No one called it as accurate as Peters did, no one.
-
It's not what you know, it's WHO you know
true except in the case you do work most other cannot or will not
do. part of the reason i did concrete work.
when I started it was known as a black mans trade.
no whitey wanted to work that hard.
until they found out about the money.
i enjoyed it. i helped create something that is visible from outerspace.
how many can say they created somthing viewable from space.
i have, google earth proves it.
but yea i know i'ma bad ass old man. and none ya should ever forget that
less i have to get all disturbia on yo candy ass.
wanna hit this?

LOL thats b/c public universities are a BUSINESS TOO YOU DUMB ASS...you pay tuition to go to public university, what do you pay to go to school up until high school? property taxes....
you used the analogy of teachers and football players to try and say that the "important" jobs dont get paid more...but you didnt compare equivilant scenarios...
atheletes contribute very significantly to the profitability of the team they play for...what type of profitability to teachers contribute to public grade schools? ;)
"important" means that they contribute to the bottom line in this sense...

You defintly make a strong point right there... If you have the right connections, your set... Sooooo many people get the jobs because they know someone, and not because of what they know or what they can do. Its a shitty world we live in when you know you are higly qualified for a job and someone else gets it because they happen to know eachother... Cold, but fair........

No one called it as accurate as Peters did, no one.
I posted this clip awhile ago. I believe it's the greatest youtube, ever. A modern day Galileo with a bunch of fools laughing at the truthteller. If Ben Stein had any shame, he would've committed Hari Kari, "The financials are a buying opportunity unlike anything I've seen in my life." lmao.
For those who don't want to watch the long clip, what he's saying, in a nutshell, is that everything the government touches it screws up and sends prices skyward: college, healthcare, not to mention wars that go on forever and cost trillions.
-
watching the video, it seems the hillbilly from PA just does not have the charisma to make good money. It takes intelligence and personality to make it to the top. Good speaking skills are a must.
-
And people still laugh at him!
Despite the fact the Schiff has been mostly spot on, naysayers still don't listen to him and choose to follow complete degenerate hacks like obama, krugman, friedman, and others.

Most college sports programs don't show a profit, but, you're right, the big sports schools will survive, and, Harvard and Yale aren't going anywhere. It's the 2nd and 3rd tier schools that will die off, as they clearly aren't providing value for the $$ they charge. Kids aren't going to keep going into massive debt to go a mediocre college only to not get a job upon graduation.

You can teach any skill, especially for the piece of shit job/task you just described. In World War II, flight instructors taught 18 year olds how to run night bombing missions, flying blind and only off rudimentary instruments. The same for fighter pilots at the time.
Don`t tell me your piece of shit HR job is even remotely close to the difficulty of the above task.

Don`t tell me your piece of shit HR job is even remotely close to the difficulty of the above task.
As opposed to signing Crummey statements yearly to get your distribution from the trust fund and tell everyone else how to live while you yourself have never run a business or project? ??? ??? ???

I am not telling you how to live. I want you to live without restrictions. For instance, if you are gay, I want you to have all the freedom and opportunity that you should have. I don`t want you paying exorbitant taxes either. I`d like a Socialist National Sales Tax with no tax on Used Goods and Essential Items to life and a Single Payer Universal Healthcare system along with idiots who want Private additional Insurance. (not that they will need it).
I think you deserve these things. So imagine being a gay man and being able to marry your longtime sweetheart in the Bronx, not paying any taxes other than you spend so you have full control over your finances and being able to see a doctor and not worry about going bankrupt or being treated.
I think you would be happy my friend.

What was the last job you've worked, Adonis?
-
If only people would have listened. No - instead we got a marxist/socialist hack at 1600 PA. Ave.
This guys an indiot. My socialist canadian university costs 3k a year, That's on par with the 32 days of wage that it cost to goto yale in 1918. People are fucking stupid to goto name brand uni's. Unless your rich with connections. But education is just another way american's fuck up in the free market dereg system. It costs 12k for a degreee in my province. If you can live with your folks atleast. Thats what a uni degree is worth in my opinion. About a year's salary. Plus time out of work.
America is an overinflated bloated mess. It's wasteful in all directions and the free market has just as much fault as the state.

In WW2 they screened fighter pilots. They didn't take the first people in the door... Thanks for making our point

Wrong. You basically showed up and were trained.
Civilian Pilot Training Program (or CPTP) was a flight training program (1938-1944) sponsored by the United States government with the stated purpose of increasing the number of civilian pilots, though having a clear impact on military preparedness.
The CPTP/WTS program was largely phased out in the summer of 1944 but not before 435,165 people, including hundreds of women and African-Americans, had been taught to fly. Notable legends trained under the CPTP include: Astronaut/Senator John Glenn, top Navy ace Alexander Vraciu, Douglas test pilot Robert Rahn, top WWII ace Major Richard Bong, WWII triple ace Bud Anderson, former Senator George McGovern, WASP Dora Dougherty and Tuskegee airman Major Robert W. Deiz. The CPTP admirably achieved its primary mission, best expressed by the title of aviation historian Dominick Pisano's book — “To fill the skies with pilots.”
Two of the largest CPT/WTS schools were Piedmont Aviation, operated by Tom Davis, and Southern Airways, operated by Frank W. Hulse. Piedmont's school was based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, while Southern had schools in Charlotte, North Carolina, Greenville and Camden, South Carolina, and in Birmingham and Decatur, Alabama. Both companies trained over 60,000 war pilots including young men from Brazil (Piedmont) and a large number of Royal Air Force pilots from England (Southern). By 1947 Davis had turned his school into Piedmont Airlines with scheduled passenger flights between North Carolina and Ohio. In 1949, Hulse had Southern Airways flying commercial service between Jacksonville, Florida and Memphis, Tennessee, and between Atlanta and Charlotte. Both airlines began operations with war surplus Douglas DC-3 aircraft that were modified for commercial service in their former CPT/WTS maintenance hangers.

Uhhh no.
they only accepted college students, and you had to graduate the program, which was CIVILIAN before you went into the military, where you were trained to be a fighter pilot. And the US fighter pilots were the best trained in the world.....by far
you are implying that they took kids off the street and shipped them to Germany
"After the attack on Pearl Harbor and the U.S. entrance into World War II, the CPTP changed forever, including the name. The Civilian Pilot Training Program became the War Training Service (WTS) and, from 1942 to 1944, served PRIMARILY AS THE SCREENING PROGRAM for potential pilot candidates. Students still attended classes at colleges and universities and flight training was still conducted by private flight schools, but all WTS graduates were required to sign a contract agreeing to enter the military following graduation.
google is my friend too :D

Did you not understand that flight classes were offerered at Universities and Colleges? At one point Pilots in World War II DID NOT have to have any College Degree at all. Where in the world did you get that stupid notion?

I thought TA was a insurance claims rep. Just a year or so ago he was posting pics of some old used Merc he bought in his jobs parking lot.

So you want employer's to do the work of universities? As much as anything, a college degree weeds out those who are not committed and/or capable. Why would you try to teach an engineer or doctor on the job like it's a vocational position. Ha, ha, good luck with your collapsing bridges and botched surgeries.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_Cadet_Training_Program_(USAAF)
Pilots originally required at least a 4-year college degree. To broaden the number of suitable applicants, this was later waived. It was reduced to 3 years of college in 1942, then two years in 1943, and finally dropped to a high school diploma in early 1944.

yes.....at the END of the war.
fact still remains it was not a quick ticket to a fighter plane as you are implying, it was a CIVILIAN pre-training flight school....you had to PASS it to get into fighter school.
It was the exact opposite of what you are saying...it was a screening process, and classified as one

It wasn`t difficult if you wanted to learn either. Imagine how that would "fly" today. It wouldn`t. My point is, if someone is willing to learn and the desire is there, protocol should go out the window. Hire the best person for the job, not the one who looks good only on paper.
Vince Goodrum has more qualification in Nutiriton and Exercise than you and I do and most everyone on this site. Does that means he knows more than us?

It's bad in north Florida also but nothing compared to down there your way.
Networking will always be the best way to get a job. It's how I got mine and it's how I got my brother his. It's not what you know, it's WHO you know- you can bank on that shit. I have a degree from a respectable college but I beat out several other grads with masters and more experience lol
I would agree with this. The person I hired last year came to my attention based on a reference from someone else I was serving on a committee with. Lots of people applied for that job, but they didn’t stand a chance. We did something similar this year only this time the job was already taken by the time we posted it because we decided to promote from within. Still, we were required to post the job. Those applicants were all wasting their time.
Most of the hiring I do now requires candidates to have a master’s degree at a minimum though degrees alone are not enough. When I began my career in higher education, I applied for a professor job across the country. I got that job, but I later learned that more than 200 people had applied for the job. I was their second choice; their first choice turned down the job offer… so then they came to me.
Young people today need to arm themselves with a skill that they can put to work in almost any economic climate. For some people this will be a physical skill like carpentry… for others it will be an intellectual skill. Young people also need to take control of their own destiny and be more entrepreneurial. Stop waiting for someone else to hire you and hire yourself into some kind of work that you have identified a need or space for. As I look at the profiles of these unemployed people http://www.latimes.com/business/unemployment/ none of them are ones I would want to hire. Most of them act like passive victims. This is not the sort of person I want working for me.
If I were fired tomorrow, the first thing I would do is pick up the phone and tap my network of contacts: friends, head hunters, etc. Then I would tap my spouse’s, network. Then I would go back to some of the consulting work I did years ago working with students and parents for $5k per student... though now I would up my fee to $7k per student. The point is, I would be taking action… not just sitting around and waiting for the economy to get better or for someone else to solve my employment problem.
Edit: I would hire that Hugh Walker guy. Great attitude. The rest of those people profiled... I would not hire. :(

the problem is the monetary system. no where on a dolla bill
does it say one usa dollar. it's says federal reserve note.
which is debt. backed by the government in the form of a worthless
paper called treasury bills and bonds. ultimately then with a monetary system based on air,
corruption will be involved in all aspects of life as all aspects involve/require money.
3 things run this world. big business, big government and the inter relations of the two.
socialism under any monetary system will fair no better than we are now. it's been tried n failed. money is debt money breeds corruption. the alternative is not a society our brains
can get wrapped around.

Civvy life is shit.
I've thought about leaving when my contract expires in a couple years but I honestly don't know what I'd do civvy side or whether I could make the transition back to the real world
with Canada's mission in Afghanistan winding down I don't want to stick around if there isn't a war to fight - jumping out of planes and helicopters is fun but it gets old doing training exercises and firing blanks especially after experiencing real combat
hopefully we'll deploy elsewhere but it's hard to say
on the other hand I shouldn't really complain because we do get paid well - comparable to other government workers
sometimes I want to leave it all and start a family and live a real life
right now all I care about is getting back overseas

No. I believe in eliminating the charade and hiring on the spot, first come first serve, filling jobs for those who need or want to work.
That is why you aren't involved in corporate america or have employees. Eevryone wants to work and those who don't work need work. If I am building a house and need an electrician I am NOT hiring some guy who doesn't know what the fuck he is doing just because he is out of work or wants a job. See your ignorance shines at times. Also, you think this way for simple reason. You don't a resume. you don't have anything to put on a resume. Your schooling waslimited to community college. you worked at the water department. I proved and exhibited all this on getbig a few years ago. Somewhere it is on here. Of course you would think this way since you would have a hard time finding a job. Just like Goodrum but even worse. He at least has some experince in some things. He just gets fired because after a month or so they discover he doesn't really know anything he told them he knew. That is why he has been fired from every job he ever had.

I'm looking into crosstraining out my current field to take a hack at the USAF Pararescue pipeline.
How long you been in? How does the high tempo lifestyle effect your personal life? To stay somewhat on subject, civvy life does = shit....at least right now it does...

You defintly make a strong point right there... If you have the right connections, your set... Sooooo many people get the jobs because they know someone, and not because of what they know or what they can do. Its a shitty world we live in when you know you are higly qualified for a job and someone else gets it because they happen to know eachother... Cold, but fair........
Actually I should have explained this in further detail. Plainly, my B.S. from a respectable school was on level with their M.S. degrees as was told to me after I got the job. My advanced skill set in one area also trumped their's but they had more overall relevant experience in the field. I was told from management that anything higher than a B.S. in my field was insignificant unless it was a from a respectable school and it still then wasn't a large factor hiring someone.
This still doesn't devalue my point that the real reason I had my resume looked at was because that I was well connected with upper management though. Networking is crucial

That is why you aren't involved in corporate america or have employees. Eevryone wants to work and those who don't work need work. If I am building a house and need an electrician I am NOT hiring some guy who doesn't know what the fuck he is doing just because he is out of work or wants a job. See your ignorance shines at times. Also, you think this way for simple reason. You don't a resume. you don't have anything to put on a resume. Your schooling waslimited to community college. you worked at the water department. I proved and exhibited all this on getbig a few years ago. Somewhere it is on here. Of course you would think this way since you would have a hard time finding a job. Just like Goodrum but even worse. He at least has some experince in some things. He just gets fired because after a month or so they discover he doesn't really know anything he told them he knew. That is why he has been fired from every job he ever had.
LOL, relentless, but i'll support it cuz Vincenzo shrugs it off and you keep it funny.

It depends solely on what you are hiring for and what type of job it is.
Obviously I`m not going to hire an armless midget to swing a hammer on the rail line, but he would be a perfect fit in my traveling circus.
Hiring someone is more than a stupid hour long face to face interview or a sheet of paper with pointless "credentials".
true, but keep in mind that most 'good' positions are not filled after a single quick interview.
when I was hired for my position in the water/wastewater treatment industry, the competition was crazy.
they had us do several panel interviews, reference checks, police background checks and competentcy exams.
you also had to state who you felt was better, Dorian or Ronnie.

I also agree that it is hardest for those who are middle aged who are laid off.
I have a family member who was let go after 12 years of management with a huge company and another friend from school who is an egineer who was let go from his firm from downsizing.
even though Canada didn't get hit as badly as the States, there are still a lot of jobless people out there.

I wish someone would break the news to this girl, but a BA in the 21st century is practically equivalent to a highschool diploma. She needs to at least get an MA or an even more advanced degree (PhD, MD, LAW, JD, etc). And what the heck is a BA in public relations? What can you possibly do with that degree? :-\ :-\
