C'mon folks, get the resumes submitted.

What's a resume

 

[308]

Sounds like a great job. Our company usually sets up all the CRACs, pumps, HVAC etc. I've been working at VADATA, Apple and Facebook over the last 4-yrs

What's a resume

That's when you start again once you stopped.

That's when you start again once you stopped.

Owned my own business for 15 yrs or so and to be honest never really had to do a resume

I know now you need a resume to work at a 7/11

 

[Artilleryman]

yup, nature of the modern world

How do you know? Not from experience I'm guessing? I somehow can't see you selling Big Gulps?

 

[The Heretic]

The thing that gets me about résumés is that you put all the pertinent info on them, and then once you are hired, they want you to put it all on an "application" again. So, I am already hired and I need to "apply"? I already give you the info (usually via an electronic copy) and you need me to write it, by hand, again?

The decent orgs have a computer transfer the info - but even those are iffy (if I recall correctly, it was Oracle's job site that would blow chunks whenever it tried to transfer the info from my submitted résumé to their DB).

 

[Artilleryman]

I've found that the online info and application process is primarily for the HR folks & ensures that certain standardized questions are asked or info obtained. It's just standard boilerplate stuff mostly but the resume has better content for the hiring manager to work with. Different formats needed by the two groups involved in the process.

 

[The Heretic]

Yeah, they have their forms - that they require to be filled out, then they put them in a filing cabinet and forget about them. Later they can't find them and ask you to fill them out again.

BTDT many times. It is all part of the process. A stupid inefficient process, but fortunately one I don't have to do too often.

I work for a very large corp now, for a decent wage that pays the mortgage and allows me to max out my 401K and IRA - so although its bureaucracy and incompetence is frustrating, it is likely I will continue to work there for another five years until I am ready to retire and I won't need to send resumes out (although I am often tempted).

How willing are you to train the right individual?

 

[Artilleryman]

Very willing, depending on what kind of skills or experience are available to start with. The scope covered by these jobs is such that there are very few out there with mastery of all aspects. Some combination of knowledge / experience in the fundamentals or some of the various trades included in this role is necessary though; it takes too long to bring someone up to speed from a complete square one.

Message me & we can discuss options.

 

[waglockfan]

I like that compressed schedule, 3 on then 4 off, 4 on then 3 off. "Built in" overtime is great.

I need a DD214 first though

 

[Artilleryman]

yup the guys on the crew seem to like it. I miss it myself, took over the manager's job a few years ago but those frequent 3 & 4 days weekends sometimes make we wish I was back on the crew
