I'm trying to reach a Robert (B0b) Granger who was in the Air Force in Ms. in the late 1960's. Could this be you?

I have been out of work for so long I seriously cannot remember the last real job I had. the only advice I have is to go to school. even if you have a degree already unless of course you have a masters becaue I'm not sure where you can go from there. If people who have masters degree can't be hired though gee whiz I don't think there is any hope for the rest of us. I have read every comment here and I can relate to every single one. however I did read one comment about volunteering in the field to get experience. That doesn't work so well all the time because it hasn't worked for me I have so much volunteer experience I need to pages granted there are different areas of work being accounted for. Like childcare, construction, customer service, office coordinator, fund raiser coordinator, painting ( pictures not walls), tutoring in computer programs, software and basic computer knowledge. I think I just need to become a fultime paid volunteer. The job market is crazy where I live and I really just think no one cares that others need a job they just flipp through the resumes. My real problem with that is they will probaly throw away the better candidate for whatever reason they deem fit and then by some stroke of luck these individuals are left with just one resume left, so they hire that person without knowing they are an idiot. yay! I think this process just continues until people give up. It is so frustrating to not be able to find a job when you are really, seriously looking. And when you know people who are seriously unqualified or just plain stupid get jobs its just a slap in the face because you know you were the better applicant. Everyone has that one friend who is just for lack of a better word stupid so lets not get on our high horses. and don't get your panties twisted about how others type your excellent typing skills don't seem to have landed you a job and if you have a job then what the hell are you doing here yaking with us GO TO WORK!!! and if you are at work while you are doing this GOD HELP US ALL because if a dipshit like yourself can get a job and abuse it then the rest of us are all seriously screwed
**that last comment wasn't aimed at anyone in particuar there are just alot of jackasses who leave comments and don't seem to think that they could hurt someone's feelings. I really don't think anyone asked for your feedback so put a sock in it. even though you guys make a point ya'll didn't have to single out and attack the person's intelligence. it's about helping others out not taking advantage of their misfortune. and another point most people don't correct grammatical errors when they are chatting or posting a comment on a freaking website it just ain't that dang serious! but theie resumes are flawless because I know mine is. It's been checked rechecked outsourced to others to check given to employers to check and I have been so bold to ask Why? because I know when they say I'll cal you that means they won't so I ask WHY? what was wrong and it is NOT my resume so dudes who are leaving hateful comments to others need to get a life**
PEACE
I hope everyone is blessed with employment!

Holiday Job Hunting: Fact & Fiction

The Quiz & Answers

Please indicate “Fact” or “Fiction” for each of the statements below.

1. There is less competition for jobs in December.

Fact. Competition for positions is greatly reduced because of the prevailing belief that employers don’t
hire in December. Most of your competitors will not be looking for a job this month but look out in
January! Many job seekers get offers they wouldn’t ordinarily get by looking in December.

2. There are only a few positions open in December.

Fiction. For most companies, next year’s budget is already approved. Hiring managers either want to
start the year with full staff or have requisitions for positions that begin immediately after the New
Year. The Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys show no pattern of a drop-off in permanent hires at year-
end. In fact, most companies have the same number of openings at year-end as they do the rest of the
year but they have fewer candidates. There may also be pressure to exhaust this year’s hiring budget.

3. January is the strongest hiring month of the year.

Fact. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, January is the strongest hiring month of the year.
Remember, it’s the legwork done in November and December that puts job seekers in a better position
to snag the first-of-the-year positions.

4. Hiring managers are too busy during the holidays to do interviews.

Fiction. Fewer business trips and daylong meetings take place in December making it easier to reach
decision makers. Most managers have reached their goals and are at their desks planning for the New
Year. Managers could also have tips of positions that will open after the first of the year.

5. Calls to potential employers are not welcome during the holidays.

Fiction. For most of the year, managers strive to screen the tide of job hunters coming their way. At
year-end, however, that tide has thinned and hiring managers are in a more giving mood. The best time
to call is first thing in the morning and late afternoon. By mid-day they are likely to be roaming the
halls or taking longer lunch breaks.

6. Holiday parties are great places to get job leads.

Fact. Of course, you have to have your strategy well planned. Collect your holiday presents early by
requesting job leads and referrals from your friends. Be company and department specific in your
request naming your target company and the specific department. Get names, numbers, and permission
to mention your contact’s name in the initial call. Appearing desperate is a downer for everybody.
Engage in some relaxed conversation about job openings.

Make appointments with willing friends and acquaintances for coffee or other short social meetings to
discuss your search. Have your 90-second commercial ready along with a 60 second description of
your ideal job. (See the “Tools” handout for more information.)

7. Sending Holiday greeting cards is a waste of time.

Fiction. Use your holiday cards to update friends, associates, and family on your current status. An
upbeat note in the card will start your phone ringing. Expanding your list of card recipients will put
your name in front of more people, possibly some that you will see at holiday parties.

8. December is a good month to take time off from a job search.

Fiction. The prevailing concept is that companies don’t hire during the holidays. Fact: they do!!
Taking yourself out of the game shrinks the pool of candidates and gives someone else the edge.

9. Traveling during the holidays stops a job search.

Fiction. Okay, it’s a trick question. If you are already interviewing with a prospective employer, taking
a trip is a great reason to call the hiring manager with your contact information. Another possibility is
that your travels may take you to one of your target locations. How about calling potential employers
ahead of time to set up visits?

10. Taking a temporary holiday job is a bad idea.

Fact & Fiction. Taking a temp job to fill the dwindling coffers could be necessary. Selecting that job is
important. Many retail jobs will end after the rush and you’ve taken yourself off of the market at a
critical time. Temp jobs with companies that are on your hit list or if the work closely matches your
preferences and skills could be a great idea. Companies are hiring “temp to perm” more often these
days.

I have entry level sales positions open.Where do you live?

No Holidays. CHRISTMAS!!!

I would like a better way to find employment in downtown Baltimore!

Oh and don't call the company and find out. At least with retail anyways. Nothing better then being slammed with customers and someone calls and asks if we're hiring. How about you get off your lazy butt and find out. I never say yes on the phone.

Just because you have a degree does not automatically mean you have a job. I hire people with previous experience. And whats your degree in? Telecommunication degree isnt going to help out in a retail job.

You MUST be joking. Are you aware that by requiring #1 and #6, you are breaking the law? You have no right to deny a job because of age or appearance ~ this is illegal.

never heard of UPS using a temp pool before, but that may just be management in your area. Personally, I had to call every day for 2 months for my interviews. And that was with a referral from another UPS employee.

I've worked for UPS for 5 years now, and yes, I'm part time. The reason there are so many part timers is the full time jobs are so lucrative(pays 22.50-37.00/hr), they had to start bidding the jobs out to the highest senority people. As for the part timers, we are well taken care of. Great pay, and UPS PAYS for all of our insurance, medical, dental, vision, prescription, life, disability, etc...and they pay for it for our entire family. It's hard work, but the benefits make the time waiting for a full time job well worth it, if your situation allows.

Go to the actual location of the job that you are inquiring about. It gives them a better impression. Plus, if you keep on applying solely online, employers look at that as laziness, that you can't get out of your house to go get a job yourself. At the very least, call the company to ask if they are hiring. Be unique.

Boysie B,

Just to respond to your question regarding UPS. UPS offers the perfect solution to anyone who wants to own their own business, go to school or have a flexible schedule because the Teamsters Union has negotiated that all part-timers get free medical, dental and vison benifits! That is unheard of for any part-time employees! Everyone is there for the benefits not the money.

you are definitely not alone in this. i'm through the same thing with these companies giving me the run-a-round. it's very annoying.

Dawn,

I commend you. You are a person if integrity!

Aaron;

As I read these comments, I thought the same thing. I completely agree! Spelling errors and complaining in a public forum are not what an employer is looking for.

I have found that putting my resume on these sites have resulted in me getting a job. In fact the job I have now had for two years resulted in me posting (I can't remember if it was career builder or monster I posted on,) and getting my job. The old fashioned way may be best for some companies while technology may be the way for other companies. When you get a response always be sure to follow up on your on line resume, and or in person application, to find out your status. Dress for the job when you get an interview and keep a positive mindset and don't give up. good luck

I am an American Employer (sic) with a multi-million dollar business and here is what I'm looking for.

1. Please be an excellent worker between 21 and 39yrs of age (prefer 23 to 35). I need you to be in excellent health because my business can't afford healthcare anymore than you can (It's just a fact of life, older workers by virtue of nature, have higher probability for requiring healthcare)

2. Be educated, but not so educated that you have too many alternatives or the potential of leaving for a better position. I have a business to run and hiring is expensive. I need an excellent, inexpensive, steady worker that will be doing the same job for many years to come.

3. Please be single and unattached. My business cannot afford the high cost of healthcare for an entire family, nor could I afford for you to get married and be out for parental leave.

4. Please be affordable ($8-$15 an hour) and have a background corresponding to that range.

5. You need to be an excellent sales closer with a track record of constantly exceeding sales. This is a business after all.

6. Please be tall, thin, charming, and physically attractive. Studies have shown the positive effect of those variables on sales.

7. Be very well dressed on a daily basis in attire that greatly exceeds the $8-$15/hr that I pay you. Studies have shown the positive effects of such attire on sales.

8. Please have family in the area that ties you to the area, lest you leave the region. After all, you are single and mobile.

9. Speaking of mobile, your own iPhone, impressive car and watch will be good matching accessories.

10. Be an eloquent communicator, flawless presenter, with excellent speaking and writing skills.

11. Please have several to many years of experience in retail. If you've never worked in retail or only have 1-2 years of experience, do not apply.

Ideally, you'll have 3-5yrs of retail experience which will put you in the mid 20s. More varied retail experience up to 8-10yrs, but no older than 35 would be good too.

With 15 million plus unemployed, this can't be too much to ask for can it?

Those of you with PhDs, MBAs, JDs, RN, and other high level education or college education from Ivy League or prestigious university, need not apply.

Be an "A" player, but with little to no expectation for advancement.

Additionally, ability to work evenings, weekends, holidays, and long hours is a must in retail environments.

If you can do the job of 2-3 sales people, that would be a plus.

Ability to take on additional duties, inventory and warehouse management, bookkeeping, financial understanding, sales expertise, and marketing acumen would be a strong plus.

We receive hundreds, if not thousands of resumes each day, if you do not meet the stated requirements in the ad 100%, and the requirements above, please save us both some time and do not apply.

YES,JENNIFER GREAT POINT.
