Re: Off Topic 2013

Eyeball licking? That's just...wow...I don't even see how that can be enjoyable for either party involved.

How is one to gain experience if every open job requires previous experience? haha

lie
/lī/

Noun
1) The way, direction, or position in which something lies.
2) An intentionally false statement.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I've spent the entire day putting in job applications online. I am a simple college student looking for a job to pay my tuition, and nobody will hire me because I don't have experience.

Indeed, one hell of a catch 22 isn't it :

Re: Off Topic 2013

It is frustrating. Even when the job doesn't explicitly require experience. The "thanks, but no thanks" email/phone call is always like: "We've decided to go with someone who has a little more experience"

It's almost like you HAVE to know somebody to get your foot in the door somewhere.

I know a girl that lied about being a manager at one store on an application. The store she was applying to apparently didn't check this out, so she got the open manager job and has ever since been able to put that job on all future applications. She's worked multiple management jobs since b/c of that one lie.

Not condoning lying in an interview, but....

Yeah, but it could get you fired somewhere down the road... see George O'Leary.

Rushed to finish everything I needed to do today so I could watch Tiger's round and of course he's already played himself out of contention after 6 holes. To FIFA 13 I go.

Finished his first round at +3. Not a bad score when you consider there are exactly 3 guys in the clubhouse under par after their round.

I have programmed my body pretty well. Now my daily duece comes right after I get to work in the mornings. Its more enjoyable knowing I'm getting paid for it.

Or just get very good at spinning some disparate experiences into something relevant to the job.

Very good point but I still enjoy my home field advantage before I go to work.

Yes, this is the best way to go. It's not a lie, just a really stretched truth.

lol, jobs make no sense.

In order to be eligible for Job D, you must have experience in Job C.
In order to be eligible for Job C, you must have experience in Job B.
In order to be eligible for Job B, you must have experience in Job A.
In order to be eligible for Job A, you must have experience in Job D.

People wonder why so many people can't find work...maybe if every single company didn't act like they need these Harvard graduates with 10 years of experience in multiple fields, then maybe they'd find people.

I've seen multiple company career pages that have like 20-30 openings in the same location, all of them with an insane amount of requirements needed. Good luck finding people for those jobs...which are why you have so many openings for so long.
