fantasia2004 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Where are the jobs and why is it so difficult to find them ? Who is really doing the hiring and is it that important like it used to be to have a college degree. How long did you have to wait to find a job now since the economy took a major turn for the worst in the in the last 10 years? Link to comment
VictorWard Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I have only been out of school for two years now, but I am already on my second job. I found out about both jobs from people I knew. So to find out who is hiring, I would ask people you know. Link to comment
phaseone Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Victor is right, the best jobs out there are not advertised, rather they are opportunities that come from networking. Networking by far is more powerful than any job search board, recruiter, or online application. Networking works because you are being referred by someone who is already inside the company or who has information that can land you the job. Link to comment
Recovering_Lover Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I totally agree with you on that too. My last two jobs, I was able to get them, becoz the people who were hiring knew me from someone else. It kind of creates a trust. They rather hire someone they know than someone they don't know. But you must be in par in terms of expereince and qualification. R.L. Link to comment
ayekasong Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 How long did you have to wait to find a job now since the economy took a major turn for the worst in the in the last 10 years? Well, I haven't been in the job market that long, I finished college last May. I had the job I am currently in before I graduated... about two months before I graduated actually. However, the field I am in has a very high turnover rate, so it is somewhat easy to find a job here - however, while the pay is awesome for me, a single girl who doesn't have lots of expenses, it would definitely not be enough to sustain a family. To be honest, I am a little scared about finding a job when I return to the States... going to start my search way early, hopefully about 6 months before I return. Link to comment

Oh yeah we have to say thanks for that to U. Sam pumping money out of people pockets into military. Where are they (money)? in the dessert covered with sand. I am just amazed who people voted for.
