    Do some research from Bloomington on industries you would like to get into. Take a long term view of your career. Find an industry with excellent growth potential and contact the Human Resource Departments in that industry. Before heading to Chicago, have a list of 25-30 companies you would like to interview with and work the phones and email to schedule interviews. Get as much of the prelim work done before getting to Chicago. Do not worry if they have advertised openings or not. You will be gaining intervewing skills and learning about the industries. You already have a marketing job. You need to market yourself. Create a branded package, with resume of course, 5 or 6 cover letters depending on the industry and position, if appropriate a video. Perhaps any samples of college work you did.
  2. Check out Brealkaway Cruises if you have time
  3. Great! South Padre Island has some nice clubs and the weather is still great for the beach. I haven't spent as much time in Matamoros as I have in Progresso and Reynosa, two other border towns just up the river.

    I do not have one I read regularly. I do from time to time catch a few from people I know or from a couple experts I'm interested it. Start one for yourself, if someone reads it great, if not, who cares? I am shocked when I would receive comments on mine.
  5. Sickening. Writing about it. They should be more like us, just send in the CIA to do the job. Can you say Castro?

    Now let's see how much SPAM we get for entering that little survey

    Sorry, you cannot sell yourself. The US Government owns you for a little while longer.
  8. I might not make my wife take the pill, but I know in my heart I would support that decision. For that reason alone, I cannot join the Pro-Life movement. I also know if my daughter was raped and said nothing, and 6 or 7 months down the line, we could tell, I would support her decision there.

    I have a conflict of conviction with that one. While I agree that firing someone for being gay is wrong, I also believe we have made it too hard to hire and fire workers. Business owners shouldn't have to live in fear of letting someone go. It is also so damn hard to check any sort of references for the same reason. So when a person is hired there is almost no info coming from their previous employers. You hire someone who isn't quite perfect for the job and decide to let them go. Then they charge it was because they are in a special class. That troubles me. As one HR manager mentioned to me, firing a 30 year old white, hetrosexual male, is the easiest thing to do. Anything that sways from that, is problematic. So if it is harder to fire, who would you hire? Some of these anti-firing laws may actually harm the very groups they are suppose to protect by cutting down their chances to get hired.

    Wow, we are onto something here. The secret life of Kap. Should that be wives or wife's??

    I'd have the illiterate homeless guy use a spell check before making your posts.
  12. With the exception of John Rocker, every player says nice things about any city that will have him. When the ink dries, be confident.
  13. Wrong end of the wage scale. The Dems are on the losing side of the save American jobs battle. Those manufacturing jobs are going away. I hope they come to Mexico and I think Bush has been correct in trying to get companies to consider Mexico instead of China. The Unions keep thinking they can save the jobs by donating to the Dems. Democratic supported Incentives keep the jobs up north work for a while but eventually they fail. Bush and the GOP know that and instead have worked to keep at least some on the US side. Bush has been good to Texas. Halliburton is a Texas Company.
  14. Why not both!

  16. I am voting for Bush because he will help my local economy. We thrive on businesses moving to Mexico. Situated along the US-Mexico border, McAllen and Reynosa, Tamps. Mexico are nice strategic partners. The US managers and their Mexican hourly employees both spend money in McAllen, and their companies have a source of cheaper labor. Democrates take a dim view of businesses locating off shore. Mostly because of all that Union money that they take. So Clinton was a huge pain in the ass to those companies (Maquillas). Bush, who takes his contributions from the owners and top execuitives, understand that companies cannot compete and keep manufactuing jobs in high wage states. He has been a wonderful President for helping companies reagain being competitive by moving to Mexico. So despite my objecting to some of his social policies, I'm voting for the guy that can help my economy. Say Si to Mexico, Say Si to Bush. Say Si to the Rio Grande Valley! I know CWSox would shoot me for this, but Michigan's loss was a gain for the border economy. The jobs that are lost in the northern areas are "found" here.

    Linked here? Gamers forum which added a RPG, which uses your post totals to establish points. Interesting tie in between content and forum.
  19. OMG, that kid is in so much s***. I had a similar, but reverse thing happen to me in a 10K at Illinois Beach State Park. They ran a 5K before the 10K. I was leading the 10K when I came to a fork in the roads. A race official (stupid b**** young girl) was standing there and I asked her which way? She pointed one way, the wrong way. About 5 or 6 of us hit the finish line in 15 minutes or so. Some race official started b****ing at me for cheating. I didn't know what happened until another guy started screaming at the official about not marking the course.
  20. What is this NHL that you speak of? Go Killer Bees!
  21. I told you not to read it . . .
  22. Or any Democrat President.
