I quit my old job for 10 years back in April and got a contractor job at downtown for 6 months. Now I’m looking again to see if there’re other opportunities. Both back then and now, if you go to Monster or Career Builder or dice.com, or even Craigslist, there are tons of jobs out there, especially if you have unique skillset, it’s really not that hard to find jobs to apply for. But of course now that a lot more people are looking, there are more people applying for the same job, but again hopefully you have some unique skillset that makes you stand out among the crowd. Back in March and early April, I sent out about 80-90 resumes, got 3 interviews. I’d say the best thing to do is commit yourself to sending at least 3 resumes every day and eventually you’ll land something. Good luck.
x2.
It took me about a year to find a job (granted I was still in school, and unable to work full-time until May, which is right around the time I got my job :lovin:).
You’ll find plenty of jobs on those websites, but it can be tricky actually landing them. I see this as no worse or better than any other city, however. Oh, and experience is key. As a recent graduate, the biggest hurdle for me in finding work was the fact that I had no relevant internships or experience in my field. The few callbacks I had were all no-go’s because of no experience.
Yeah I also am looking forward to getting some games in with some peeps during the week lemme know whatsup.:wonder:
-Frankie
if this happens… :tup:
I’m pullin for ya man!
Let me see if I can get a few people to make some phone calls… Is there a cell phone number these people can reach you at should something come up?
Games this week. Most like this friday.
Im just letting everyone know.
pm if interested.
Thursday and Friday are both good days for me. Me and SRX need to get together anyway and go to modchipman’s place for parts.
I’ll be on XBL later on tonight, I’ll add the rest of you all now or then.
Anyone goin to GW tonight?
not tonight for me.
but if your coming from the south on 53, you will be waiting a while unless they cleared the accident.
it was really bad and traffic was backed up super far.
Remember? They’re only open 12-6, and I’m stuck at the house til 5 each day, though that ends this week.
I vote Friday.
Thanks.
I don’t have a cell at the moment, but we can discuss this a little further over AIM if you’ll be online. I have my SN on here, so feel free to hit me up. I’m usually invis so just IM me and see if I’m there.
playing sf4 and bb tonight. A bit of hdr. invite me or some crap.
SRX : I can do both days. If you’re stopping by, bring your PS2 and CVS2, I wanna ROCK! And shame on you for losing your conveter, I wanted to play you in Neowave on MAME.
Exarch : Bring ps2 games, might have to play some tipsy Bloody Roar!
I also am holding a gathering tomarrow for my B-day bash I guess. So if you, Frankie, Clayton and whoever else wants to get games and cake in, are welcome to stop by. Beats sitting at home watching Gundam 00 Season Two while drinking.
46W979 Country Lane
Maple Park IL 60151
Time : Noon till 11PM
Events : Blazblue, HDR, CvS2, whatever people feel like playing really.
What kind of drinks should I bring?
I lose so much crap, it’s irritating. PS2>PS3 conveter, PS1 memory card, laptop (“lost”), my mind…so much crap…
if i am able to take care of my vehical stuff by than ill come.
The problem with this is by the time I get there (because I’m closing at work), your party will be over.
Sounds good, I can probably stop by for a little bit tomorrow as I’m not going to my club practice…too much dekalb commuting this week as it is.
Also, what kind of beer do you drink?
Lol, my ps3 fightpad finally took a shit. Now unless I hold down turbo it won’t sync, and even when I do that it’ll only sync for about 3 seconds and then hiccups. I tried opening it and cleaning the entire thing with rubbing alcohol, but their horrible soldering job is too much for a little solvent.
Time to call madcatz, and for the time being I’ll be using a ps2 to usb converter for ps3 games, I still have my 360 FP:rofl:. Turns out my execution is way better on a ps2 pad anyhow.

GGs Inives and Spriggan. Spriggan that was first time I ever exp that much internet issues when we were playing, idk if it was the connection between me and you or XBL. I now learn the hard way about Akuma demon flip mixups, gotta learn how to deal with that. Also Inives we definitely need to have some more “Tiger Times” .
Last reminder that I’m hosting games today at 6:30. PM if interested.
