Steve9347 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 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.

If you bomb the interview oh well, better than not taking the shot. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
