Gas Station TV 05/28/2013 by Todd
|
Did anyone out there ever work for Gas Station TV? I was hired by Gene Sanderfield as a Regional Sales Director. Went to Michigan for training with a class of five. After day one, we were a class of four, as someone got gassed right off of the bat.
Long story short, GSTV is too hard a product to sell, and everyone I started with is gone, the HR people are now all gone, and Gene left recently as well... FULL STORY»

Help! Advice Needed!!!! 04/29/2013 by redstapler
|
So I need advice. Do I stay or do I go?
I have a great job. I love the company, I love the people, and I love what I do. However... layoffs are pending and I'm in no position to be without a job, not even for a few weeks.
With the fear of layoffs over my head I did what any of us would do...I polished up my resume and posted it, just to see what was out there... FULL STORY»

Jobless 02/11/2013 by GusNeg49

A vent perhaps, but something that needs to be said, what does it take to get a decent job? Within the last year and a half I’ve applied to more jobs than God knows and I just don’t get it, some have had the courtesy of replying back and others, who knows. Of the one’s that do I either get your “over qualified” or “under qualified” (for the same job description) or a computer generated “dear John” message “we’ve decided to go another route”...

How to be a good customer on the phone 05/14/2012 by dizzblnd
|
After a great many of years as a CSR I am confident that I am qualified to write this.
There is usually a recording after the phone is answered. It would behoove you (and us) to listen to the recording. If you have reached the wrong number, don't argue with us and expect us to know who you are trying to call, what number you SHOULD call or to transfer to something that has nothing to do with the company you have called...

Welcome to Stupidland 03/21/2012 by Mrs_Anonymous

Not exactly a coworker from hell, so I put this under Career Ponderings.
A woman who had been in a particular job working with the same online database that I had been working on, quit her job. I'd been in the department for a few months, so I knew my way pretty well around this database, and knew I could probably take it on.
Except they never let anyone else in the department know they were accepting applications for that position... FULL STORY»

Temp Workers Are Dirt 03/21/2012 by Mrs_Anonymous
|
I had been in my temporary job for about a year and half when my boss said the department head was making it into a permanent one. My boss encouraged me to apply; after all, I had been at it for more than a couple of weeks, so I knew the routine well - and I did a very good job.
Fast forward 2 weeks into the resume collecting period (yes, I did apply)... FULL STORY»

Why does everyone who is nice leave 12/04/2011 by wageslave
|
Fourteen years ago I was hired at my company. The guy that trained everyone on the computers just retired last Friday. I am very sad about his leaving, it's like losing your favorite teacher. This guy helped everyone and anyone. Most importantly he never condescended even though he is BRILLIANT.
I sit by him and he worked until the very last minute of his tour... FULL STORY»

The Art of Playing Dumb: The Ultimate Poker Face 08/04/2011 by haveadamnniceday
|
So.... I've had tons of folks tell me I'm pretty smart. Well, if I'm so smart, why hasn't it occurred to me sooner to start playing dumb??? Mr. T once said it takes a brilliant person to play dumb, so I suppose I need to at least attempt...
That being said, who here can provide insight as to use this ploy to my advantage in the workplace without seeming like some idiot employers would rather not keep around? I am open to any and all suggestions, because at the moment, I'm too stupid to play dumb! ;).. |
But wait...there's MORE from Career Ponderings!

Local LinkedIn meeting
Posted on 04/15/2009 by CK
I had joined a local LinkedIn "Networking" group regarding job-search. Hey, it's a NETWROK group!!! Anyone can join their local "Network" group for meetings. I took a half-day off from work (got plenty of time on the books) to check it out. I didn't try very hard because I only walked away with a pocket full of others business cards and plenty of people I didn't get to meet. I'd swear that there were 70+ people there! Granted that many were unemployed or employed and looking. Regardless, you never know ... However, not only that but there were also employment agencies there looking for c read full story »
