Layoff Advice

Imo 22 is insanely low especially expecting an education and experience. My first job out of college paid double that. I think Pkm uses that much to wipe his *** 3 times a day. The commission potential would have to be way beyond double that to make phone sales worth it. Again, imo.
 
Archie may be grossly underselling how much money he could make at these staffing companies. I don't know for sure obviously but the 24K job may have been a salary on draw, on which commission past that draw wouldn't be easy at first (the first couple months) but once he reached it, he could make a damn good monthly commission.

If you don't put the new position on the job application, it's a terminable omission. Of course, there may be a disconnect between the application and the interviewer.

More to the point of the conversation, if it's easier to get hired when you are working, then it is counter-productive to hide that you are working.

I know it's hard for you to not be a complete ******* and condescending hack, but I'm curious as to what you're talking about, Richard. Please, if you have any suggestions, or see something that myself along with others haven't caught, just let me know. I'd love make changes for the better.

I'm currently working on a remodel in an elementary school. It's amazing to me to see how many grammatical errors there are all over the walls here. Granted, I'm not exactly an English major, but holy **** balls, this is a damn school.
 
Dick is right, dude. There are literally dozens of grammatical errors on that page. Email it to me and I'll go through it and underline or highlight all the crap that looks weird.

You can't brag about winning essays and having a college degree when your resume looks like it was thrown together by a fourth grader. Just my two cents, of course.
 
Other than the grammatical errors, I also found it odd and pointless to mention things at the bottom like Utah Jazz blogger and winning employee of the month for some company 12 years ago. Just my two cents. I'm not too familiar with what's considered procedure for linkedin so maybe I'm wrong and times have changed.

Those things are great interview ice-breakers. I have yet had an interview (since 2008) where they haven't asked about blogging for the Jazz and it leads into great conversations before the interview starts.

I think it comes across as hackish. Maybe if you were 22 years old or 25 or heck, even 28 now, but at your age, it feels hackish. I don't know, others like Log who have experience in hiring people could give their opinion on the matter.

Opinion noted and I appreciate your two-cents. Also, this is not my resume that I submit or upload during applications. That is much more simple. lol
