Job search frustrations...

[96firephoenix]

I don't know how many times (almost a dozen) that I've gotten emails from these resume sites advertising the same position that I already have at my current company to me... If I'm currently a bomb maker at ACME explosives and looking for a job, do they really think I want to be a bomb maker at ACME explosives?

I'm not sure if that or the recruiting calls from New England with New Delhi accents are more annoying....

Fortunately, I may have recently found a new job.

On a related note, I love when I get telemarketing calls on my work cell from my competition.

"hallo. How are you being today? Our company is rolling out a new home alarm system... yadda yadda yadda."

"yeah... about that. You do know you called your local competition, right? I work for ..."

"Oh, yes. I am sorry about that. Please be accepting my apologies. We will be taking you off of our list..."

The army needs a few good men.

I routinely get recruitment calls for lower-level positions. Do they really think I want to go DOWN the ladder? Reduced "title", less money, and either a crappy commute or relocate to some big city somewhere (Chicago, New York, DC, etc...). Sorry, no.

I all honesty, there is zero risk to casting a broad net, so they do so.

I've known a few people who made the switch. Usually after maturing a bit and becoming educated.

I work on contract and so I try to keep my resume up to date at all times. Whenever I update it on Monster I get a flock of calls. Must be a trigger bot that alerts every East Indian recruiter on the planet and they all call me with short term, ugly city, low paying jobs.

Could see switching to airforce or coast guard, was already part of the navy, army would have had to come up with a real sweet deal.

The GM plant in Bedford has hired a number of engineers this year. They may still be on the look out for more, PM me if you want info on where to send your resume. Or go to the GM website and go to careers and I think you can sort by locations.
