September 5, 201312 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 5, 2013 -> 01:17 PM) How the f*** do I find interns. I've done builtinchicago, I've done internmatch, I've contacted colleges around here. The f***'s the deal, lazy kids. These are cool internships. They are paid. They offer credit. Social Media Marketing Intern Online Marketing Intern Graphic Design Intern Career fairs?
September 5, 201312 yr Of course. awesome guy on linkedin OK then, are you a part of this group: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=2835&am..._groups-b-grp-v That seems like a good place to post your internships.
September 5, 201312 yr QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Sep 5, 2013 -> 01:26 PM) Also, Lombard probably isn't a hotspot for young marketing professionals, that may steer people away. Eh, the Chicago suburbs have plenty of turds who fashion themselves marketing professionals. Some of us even stick.

September 5, 201312 yr Steve, The way I have found law clerks is to contact law schools that are near by and get in touch with their career services or whatever. They then generally list the posting and then the resumes come in.

September 10, 201312 yr The company I'm interviewing with is not RV-related. I'm not sure I'd make the move for an industry that recession-prone. I grew up only 25 miles from Elkhart so I'm pretty familiar with the area. Not sure exactly where we'd live if I do get the job. Well, f***! Didn't get the job. Didn't even move on to the second interview phase. Man, HR people are getting really good at pretending to be interested in people when they aren't.

September 10, 201312 yr Just venting a bit...I absolutely hate that outsourcing is thing. I always hear politicians talking about how they're going to create more jobs, well here's a thought...ELIMINATE outsourcing! My moms been with the same company for 18 years, 2 years away from retirement and collecting social security but now her job is being outsourced to India. I now have to put my big boy pants on and help out the family...There goes trying to move out...ugh whatever.

I now have to put my big boy pants on and help out the family...There goes trying to move out...ugh whatever. My department is currently going through the same thing, fortunately I'm not affected (yet anyways, new leadership just came in and put a hiring freeze on us so who knows what will happen). Lesson learned: be adaptable, always be learning more, never rely on your job being there forever. We had an opening (before the hiring freeze) and we interviewed a lot of candidates that were losing their jobs. It was clear within 5 minutes who had progressed in their last jobs and who just sat around collecting the profit sharing.
September 13, 201312 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 01:05 PM) Wow, a paycheck with 43% more money is nice. The salt... it's burning my wound.
September 26, 201312 yr I'm hiring a Sr. Internal Auditor (REI) LINK We'd help relocate for a qualified candidate.
October 1, 201312 yr I just got an interview request for less than 20 hours from now? Uh, is that normal? I'm not the least bit prepared and haven't had an interview in a long time. I think I'll just turn it down. Seems kind of ridiculous.

Or if it's a good job, simply say the time doesn't work with your schedule on such short notice and request a new day/time. Remember, recruiters just want to get as many candidates in when convenient for them. When I was interviewing these interns (holy s***, best idea ever) I'd routinely ask if they could come in next day. You're allowed to ask them to pick a new time. Just give them a few days/times or a window that works.
October 7, 201312 yr So two new management positions were posted in our trading group today. One is right up my alley. Going to apply. Surprisingly, the other is the OPs and Trading Manager position. Apparently our current manager is being re-assigned (demoted).
