You should be applying to a lot more than 2 jobs per week. Yes it sucks, but you have to do it. You already have a huge network. Friends, family, UWM, and any organizations you've been involved with in the past. Reach out to them. You can meet a lot of people volunteering. It's also a good way to feel good about yourself when things aren't great on the job front. Look at organizations that do a lot in the Milwaukee area. Do any of the firms you're interested in working at support non-profits? You can never go wrong with Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers, Big Sisters, or Boys and Girls Club. Have you considered Americorps? You get paid (a monthly stipend & a lump sum that can be used to pay student loans or grad school) and its a great resume builder. I took a year off during undergrad to volunteer with Americorps. It was a great experience (I turned 21 in Nevada ), and I had a leg up on the competition once I graduated because I already had a year of work experience under my belt. Do you have someone who works in HR who can offer feedback on your resume and cover letter? I thought my resume was great and so did all of my friends and colleagues. I showed my resume to someone who works in HR and she absolutely tore it apart. The difference between a good resume and a poor one could mean thousands of dollars in salary. Make sure you have a great one.

Come on, Colby. Pick a couple teams and school us.

Nothing to add other than Hobbs Johnson sounds like the name of a guy who should be playing in the 1930's.

Getting an MBA is great as long as someone else is paying for it. I don't think my MBA has done me much good in terms of landing a high paying job. It's definitely who you know in this economy. I've been sending out approximately 25 resumes a week since September, and I finally have something solid in the works because of a friend who is a big wig in HR. Utilize all of your connections and network. Applying for a job without some sort of "in" is tough and frustrating.

Brewers to talk extension with Segura
jjkoestler replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Agreed. Which Segura are the Brewers extending (1st half or 2nd half)? I'd give it at least another season before talking about an extension. -

No, he is just being realistic while some cling to the hope he will somehow have a comeback season when there is just no evidence to suggest that. He's 31, played well in the past, and is a freak athletically. I'm not saying he will return to 2011 form, but its not a stretch to think he could put up better numbers than 12-13.

Rickie could cure cancer, play gold glove D, slash 300/400/500, and giveaway 500 bobbleheads to blind orphans and it wouldn't change your mind about him. In fact, you'd probably knock him because 50 of the 500 were variants. 2012-13 were disappointing seasons for Weeks, but I still believe Rickie's floor is Scooter's ceiling. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I might have an open spot in a 12 team h2h keeper league. $75 buy in.

I need to contact the T-Rats on Monday. I didn't place my order on Friday, but according to the T-Rats website "Mini-plan orders must be submitted at least 10 business days prior to your first desired game." Was there a perk if you ordered by Friday?

The Bucks better get the #1 pick. These games are absolutely brutal to watch.

DFA Jackson

I'll make the extra trip (2 & 4) if you can hook me up with the Snappers bobbles. It's tough for me to make the games in Beloit. I need to double check my schedule though.

Has there been a Garza sighting?
-
I need to stop checking the Magic's box scores it never fails to piss me off.
-
I'd rather we burn the pick by signing a player that has proven he can play in MLB than burn it by allowing Bruce Seid to make the selection. Amen. Of course I hope this deal falls through and we sign no one, so I'm clearly in the minority there. Why?

2014 NL Central Pitching Rotations
jjkoestler replied to jjkoestler's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Agreed. I was basing this on not knowing how long it would take the Bucs to slot him into the rotation. -

2014 NL Central Pitching Rotations
jjkoestler replied to jjkoestler's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I had some time to kill so I put together a quick and dirty list of the projected NL Central starting rotations. I'm sure the actual rotations will not line up this way, but I thought it would be handy to have all of the rotations in one place. What are Garza's 2014 ZiPS? I couldn't find them on Fangraphs. -
Projected NL Central Rotations zWAR per ZiPS Cardinals Adam Wainwright (4) Shelby Miller (3.2) Jaime Garcia (1.4) Lance Lynn (2.6) Michael Wacha (2.3) (13.5) Reds Mat Latos (4.5) Johnny Cueto (3.1) Homer Bailey (3.5) Tony Cingrani (2.6) Mike Leake (2.3) (16) Pirates Francisco Liriano (2.9) Gerrit Cole (2.2) Charlie Morton (.9) Jeff Locke (1) Wandy Rodriguez (1.4) (8.4) Jameson Taillon (1.5) Cubs Jeff Samardzija (3.2) Travis Wood (2.4) Edwin Jackson (2.1) Chris Rusin (0.6) Jake Arrieta (0.6) (8.9) Brewers Yovani Gallardo (2.8) Kyle Lohse (2.5) Matt Garza Wily Peralta (1.4) Marco Estrada (2) (8.7 w/o Garza)

Seems like a steal for the Brewers. I like it.
