Job hunting

Postby MustangMan2001 » Thu Mar 19, 2009 10:38 pm

I have officially been unemployed for a week tomorrow morning at 10:43 am. Does anyone happen to know of a company looking to hire an experienced sales/business development person. I am going nuts at home with all the honey do lists and the son in law do lists.

Any help is appreciated

Man, good luck to ya. I wish I could help. One of my best friends is out of work and so is my brother in law. Both good Mustangs.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Brother-in-law not in the family biz?

Actually been pretty surprised, I have only been gone for my job a week and have had some pretty solid leads so far. I am hoping to secure something in the next week or 2 just because I still would like to have some kind of savings account and I am tired of all the busy work the family has for me.

If you graduated from the B School there's a pretty good article by Bob Beaudine about how to conduct a job hunt in this quarter's issue.

I was one of the 40,000 good folks who lost their Barnett Shale Jobs. I was out of work for 18 days.

I used Monster, Career Builder and... Craig's list. I had the most returns from Craig's list. All I got from Monster and Career Builder was a ton of junk mail.

I don't know what your level of interest would be, but American Income Life is conducting a big push right now. I'll see if I can find the contact email.

Wanted: Snitches for hire
Eagle County's sheriff runs a newspaper ad for informants and has received several calls.

An Eagle County employer not only promises to overlook a prospective employee's crime connections, it prefers you have them.

"Wanted: people who hang out with crooks," the Vail Daily classified ad says. "Drug use and criminal record OK. Must be willing to work odd hours."

The classified ad, paid for by Eagle County Sheriff Joe Hoy, is apparently designed to appeal to the sophisticated confidential informant-newspaper subscriber in the posh ski resort town.

"Make some extra cash . . . ," the classified ad says. "Give us a call and we will work out the details — confidentiality is guaranteed."

More than a dozen people already have called in hopes of earning between $100 and $1,000 for turning in burglar pals not intimidated by elaborate security systems guarding Vail's multi million dollar homes.

Eagle County Sheriff's Lt. Mike McWilliam acknowledges that Sheriff Hoy stole the idea from some cops in Albuquerque who have had success enticing snitches to come forward with identical ads.

The "CIs" will have to earn their pay in Eagle County.

"Just saying 'Joe Blow' is a drug dealer is not enough," McWilliam said.
