Re: Off Topic 2011

I work in a hospital that pays pretty well, in California of all places, and the starting salary for entry level IT help desk tech is just under $30,000.

Wowser........I guess it is because it is way more tech savy people on the west coast compared to the midwest and northeast. A techie can make a killing in the northeast and midwest.

Re: Off Topic 2011

Obviously you don't know how much money entry level Help Desk Technician make per a year with most big companies. Most big companies starting salary for entry level Help Desk Technician is $42,000 a year.

Hell it is a factory up here that was just hiring for that position 3 weeks ago and their starting salary they offered was $45,000 a year.

I know big companies will pay like that but this job was a local business. I was asked why I was pursuing my BS and where I saw myself in 5-10 years I said I'd like to be a Network Admin.

Re: Off Topic 2011

That whole "where do you see yourself in five years" is such ****ing bull****. Like anyone can tell the future. I see myself inside Adriana Lima in five years. Doesn't mean it's gonna happen.

That question needs to be abolished from job interviews. Absolutely stupid.

Re: Off Topic 2011

The best one I have is still the fact I don't know how to keep professional distance. Because I'm going to be a pastor. Can I sue for that?

It costs a lot of money to go out and hire someone. This just gives them a feel as to how fast you're going to start looking for a new gig. They won't hold it against you if another better opportunity comes along, but this question can at least weed out the ones that are clearly not interested in staying in the area or in the position. I don't blame companies at all for asking this.

Just craft a bull**** answer that you use every time that won't make them think you're going to screw them a couple months down the road. Problem solved. Or if you genuinely want the job and are settling down in the area, be honest.

Re: Off Topic 2011

Yeah obviously don't tell them how you really feel. Just tell them what they want to hear. You get hired, then you do what you always intended to do, which was leave for a much better job when the opportunity comes along.

What does it mean when my wireless printer thinks there is no ink in it, except there is?

It means your printer is starting to die.

Yeah, it's just unnecessary because everyone bull****s so why bother even asking. Shave the interview excess. If I was interviewing someone and they told me "Frankly, this is a dumb *** question because obviously if a better situation comes along, I'd take that position. Until then, yeah I, I don't see any reason why there would be any impediment in fulfilling these duties.", I'd hire them instantly. Honesty and bluntness is an admirable quality.

EDIT: Or if they say "Do you ****ing think I'm Doc Brown or something?"

Re: Off Topic 2011

They were the cheapest for me.

I'm 22 with a car with SS slapped on the side of it.. so most wanted a lot of money.

State Farm wanted 298$
All State wanted 260 w/ a $500 deposit to get the account rolling
Geico wanted $145

I couldn't believe how big of a gap there was. I called all of them back to double check that they told me the right thing.

Is that monthly?
