It generally has horrible leadership. I don't have any dislike for the work itself.
My best work experiences have been working under middle-aged women. My theory on this is: middle-aged women have been around long enough that they recognize honest people who work hard. They recognize the...
I've been in this godforsaken career for 15 years. Do you really believe that I haven't considered this?
I got two contracts at Dell through two different temp agencies. I was abandoned by both agencies after the contracts reached their term. Both ended because of Dell's limit of 1,450 hours...
Yes, it is. It has for a long time. I realize that some people think that desiring a relationship is a horrible thing. But there also seems to be a consensus that we need love in our lives.
And you certainly can't look for this anywhere else. Opportunities for meeting quality women are very...
Actually I can't think of very many good times.
Are you serious???????? Job hunting is--without a doubt--the most depressing activity a person can do. And I don't see how or why any job would be better than this one. I certainly have better things to do than go through a bunch of failed job...
Actually I already knew about Wendi Friesen and like her a lot.
I can think of many, many times in my life in which I had high expectations for something; and those expectations did not come true. In many cases, there were unexpected surprises. Life is full of surprises, and most of them are...
You are exactly right. I remember the exact minute. It was 8 September 1999 at 3:24 pm Eastern Time. I was happy and excited. I had a great life. Then I just decided right at that moment and said to myself: "I will no longer have any hope." I made a conscious decision then and there. It all goes...
Let's see. I'm writing and publishing a novel. I take martial arts and acting classes. I have a job. I work out three times a week. Just, where am I going to find the time to do this? And how is volunteering going to offer me these opportunities?
I don't take it as an insult at all. I have felt that way most of my life. Work really is no different from school in that regard. It reminds me a lot of having go over times tables over and over even though I had learned them years before everyone else.
I can't at this point. And I need about...
I have generally found that this kind of "experience" doesn't count. It's better than none, of course. And as I said earlier, my experience with an MCSE tells me that certifications are worthless. When I was pursuing my MCSE, I committed to reading for an hour a day for about two years. I made...
I have brought up tasks that I think I could do. There are other groups who seem to have more work than they can handle. In spite of this, my team basically has to fight to get work.
When I ask other people about helping them out, I usually get the same song and dance that I always hear in this...
You got it.
I actually think they would listen and care enough to consider my feelings in all this. I'm not sure what they could do though.
I keep hearing all the propaganda about how there is a "shortage of talent" in IT. And there are plenty of people who good jobs in IT who aren't that...
No, I have changed jobs. The longest on a job was about three and half years.
I have applied for many jobs. I have applied for jobs which may have been over my head. I have applied for jobs which I thought I could do, even though I didn't have the experience.
I have no confidence that...
I have went after dozens of jobs. I have had probably hundreds of failed job interviews.
Applying for a job does not mean that I will get one. Asking for a job does not mean that I will get it. That applies to a new career as well as a job. A new career also likely means moving down in money...
I have no hope. I have been in this career for 15 years. I am still swapping tapes and doing intern-level work. I make a salary about the mid $40,000 range.
I have a 135 IQ. I scored a 790 on the SAT in math. I had a lot of hope for this career. I have none now and don't believe that I will...
