Just have to say I have been unemployed for awhile and this whole who knows if money will have value thing is just such a rrrreeeeeeaaaaaaaaalllllllllyyyyyyy great motivator when looking for work. I just spring up every day to send out resumes.
How many 7 step interviews have you had? Only took me 13 months to get a job.
none but I had one case that went down to two folks and they went with the other guy. My one year will be in sept and this is already the second longest I have been unemployed but im not hoping to make a new record.
None? My guy, you might be cooked. I had dozens of 7 step interviews over those 13 months. If you're not meeting with the CEO for an individual contributor role, then are you really living!?
I thought it was a big deal that I had met the ceos of the last two companies I worked for and never did previous to that. Granted one was in the bathroom.
I believe he was being sarcastic, but I might be reading it wrong.
oh yeah he was def being sarcastic but I like my little ceo story.
No, zero sarcasm. I've had executives of billion dollar companies present during my interviews multiple times. No fucking idea why. These where not "I'm a CEO of a 10 employee company" this was "I'm the CEO of a company with 10,000 employees." This was twice but every other of the dozens I made it to the point of interviewing with a director or vice president of a fortune 500 company. Like, wtf is the deal now!?
Pssst, nice dick Power move. For reals though? Wtf do I need to talk with an executive for a job that pays $100k!?
It blows my mind that 100k is not that much anymore. There was a time I would have thought I had really made it if I made that.
That time is still now for me.
Im in the us and have a wife with a lot of medical issues. I figured out that if I make 80k I will be in the red. It boggles my mind but it is what it is.
