Looking for a new job is the most depressing shyt.

[Schmoove]

Companies that play the hoop jump game aren't looking for the right candidate. They'll find any reason to not fill the position

Why they don't want me man. Seriously though how hard was it for y'all to find a job when y'all was looking for another one. I know some people go for months and have no lucks, but brehs no i can't

Where are you living?

Fam moved to Vegas and I was around from 2005-2013 when I moved to SATX for any sort of employee. I moved back here last June and while I missed my family and friends, my degree of remorse for doing so is unfukkingbelievable.

They said it was getting better over here, so why the fukk is in it for me?

I brought my girl here with me and she can't fid ANYTHING!

Theirs is just as rigorous.

I interviewed with the ERP/Supply Chain management divisions of Amazon, Starbucks, Marvel Entertainment, Garmin, Subaru and few others
All but Amazon were straight forward.....recruiter call, 1-2 manager calls or skype sessions, in person interview with 1-4 people
Amazon recruiter call, 4-5 question short essay, 2 SME interviews, then fly out to Seattle for a panel of interviews

I did these interviews with a few months of internship experience maybe in 2 years or so I'll put myself back on the market for my next substantial salary increase

Good luck getting a federal government job if you're not a 10 point vet.

I agree. Those civilian government jobs have a strong preference for vets but there are people who never been in the military and are govt employees. I just have to find one that's a direct hire.

Its easier to go civilian fed after working under a contractor from what I'm told

I hear yall. Been tryna get into the gubment for a minute; need that stability. Began to think outside the box....

1. Been contracting with an agency for the last 2 years and have been pretty successful at it. Easier transition, I hope.

2. For the last year, I initiated a mentorship w/ bi-monthly meetings with the agency's CFO. Hopefully, he'll provide a nice recommendation or look out for me.

3. As a diabetic, recently learned about the Schedule A(u) provision that levels the playing field for civilians versus veterans. Look it up, brehskis.

4. Aligned myself with one of the agency's Career Counseling reps. Built a rapport and she even applied for a gig on my behalf. Didn't get it but, moving on, she provides guidance on how to tailor my resume to the job announcement and reaches out to the HR rep for the gig I'm applying to.

Let's get it, brehs.
