  1. I'm on LinkedIn. Its ok. I see some people use it almost like Facebook, but for work related stuff (Hey, I just took a training class on Widgets!). I haven't gone "job searching" since I joined (5 years ago or so), but I can see where it might be useful for that. I've tried to connect to various people I've worked with for "job networking" if it comes to that.
  2. just me by my lonesome But you have us! God speed on your move and fresh start!
  3. I didn't see your original post, but you probably want to aim more for being assertive in the workplace (not aggressive). Or proactive might be the right term. Nip it in the bud before its a huge problem. on a side note, i've learned that men are actually worse gossipers than women are. The stigma is on women, but men are no better or worse. Its just a human failing not determined by genitalia.
  4. GAME05, I've had similar experiences with certain co-workers, so a bit of advice: - Control what you can control. Cliche' but true. People can be jerks. Prepare yourself in dealing with him. Get things in writing (email). - My guess is that your boss (and others) knows the guy is a jerk and uses a grain of salt with what he hears from that person. - Don't reciprocate. You don't have to be best buds, but be a good co-worker no matter what. Its a losing battle to reciprocate because you justify his actions. - Remember that if that person isn't in a position of high esteem to you (like a significant other, parent, sibling, close friend, mentor) why would their opinion of you mean a hill of beans? Be more interested in the people that really matter. edit - spelling, clarification
  5. 3 interviews and no job offers is nothing. Yeah, I was going to add something along those lines also. Don't let that reflect on you personally. At my company, I'm involved in interviewing candidates for job openings. But even while we need to hire, management is being very picky about what they want. We have passed over several good candidates because they didn't have a strong suit in one particular area. But they were still very good candidates.
  6. I sounds like you are pressing too hard. What relaxes you? Do all your prep work prior to the interview. Then when you get there (or maybe in the car prior to going in), close your eyes and focus on something that relaxes you. Think about the beach, spending a day at the ball park, fantasy vacation, whatever. Breath deep. If your focus is on "I must get this job" its going to be tough to focus on the interviewee and his/her questions. Depending on what time of day, you might also try working out prior to the interview (assuming you can clean up in time). Blow off some steam. Have sex. Whatever helps you reduce stress in general.
  7. They asked a couple things tryintg to get me to be critical of my boss. Were you interviewing for your boss's job? http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif
  8. My question is, does anyone have any thoughts on what kind of job opportunities I would be looking at after I graduate? Like TLB, I have no experience in chemistry related fields. However, I'll just add: Don't limit yourself. College experience is about 80% learning how to learn. When I left college, I had a somewhat narrow view of what I was "qualified" for, but there was a lot more out there that I could do. going to bed now and will have to decide when i get up on calling her and pushing the flight or not calling at all. Of course, if she is going to remove you anyway, being "pushy" might not hurt anything... Good luck!
  9. I didn't read through all 5 pages, so forgive me if I duplicate here. But here is my $0.02. Write a specific resume for each specific job you apply for. Not to lie on your resume, but to emphasize specific qualities for that job. Obviously, in order to do that well, you need to know what that job wants (which would be recommendation #2). My company is hiring quite a few people for engineering positions. But they are also being VERY picky about who we get. Not that there are so many candidates that we can choose among a pile of many. But because its so hard to get approval for hiring someone, that people want to be sure you are going to get a someone that can do the job. Less "chance taking" on someone with potential. BTW, if you know of any software engineers that have MatLab/Simulink/Stateflow experience that want to work in Detroit (follow Prince!), let me know! http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif
