What companies are doing hiring right now?
No unemployment check and no stimulus check. So I'm forced into selling my stuff. ☹ Get drunk. Fk it!!!
Well I hold a B.Sci. in Business Admin. have work experience in planning, sales, and customer service.
I should have gone the comp sci route in college but I was honestly afraid of failing.
I think managers/planners/et. al. like that would maybe be in demand still - I can't speak to that profession though. I know none of those people that I worked with were laid off at DTNA, don't know about outside the two teams I worked on. I do know the CEO of Daimler in Germany did talk about thinning out the different levels of management there, but I personally saw none of that.
I have never wanted to elevate up into management/etc. - I am an Aspie, so I don't want to deal with people on that level. I am best at just heads down programming and tech stuff. The other side of that is that there are more devs churning out code than there are people managing/planning for them - and not every can or wants to do development/tech stuff, so there is more demand.
As for college - my degree is a EE and I haven't used it in decades - I can barely remember Ohm's Law. I am totally self-taught when it comes to s/w engineering. Not that an education in it wouldn't help me, there are gaps in my knowledge/experience that I have, but when it comes down to it, experience and skill counts for more than education, and the profession is constantly evolving.
All of my adult kids have applied for Oregon unemployment, but have not seen a dime. Just a form letter saying you are eligible for $156 per week. Meanwhile my friend's kid across the river has gotten full Washington unemployment plus the Federal $600 per week since day one of filling.
They have been reporting job searches online, still this week two received letters stating "Your claim is being terminated for non-reporting. Do not restart your claim online, send back this physical letter instead"
I hate those incompetent gold bricks.
I just got word from someone whose 26 weeks had expired, but was still making weekly claims waiting for the 13 week extension, that Oregon has started paying out for those extended benefits (if you kept filing weekly claims). Also, they are paying the federal $600 for those weeks too - until the end of July.
So it sounds like they are catching up.
The next thing I am waiting for is work on paying that first waiting week - that may take a lot longer - we'll see - but I am sure they will eventually get around to it.
I am not going to comment on future legislation regarding more extensions and expansions - it would just be speculation.
