Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Hi I loved your post. Took me right back to my years of heavy construction. I remember all of the lunchtime discussions about what it was like " in the joint " . Needless to say, I was unable to contribute and was considered a little bit strange. I was not abused to the degree that you are describing below, though, although I never set myself up for it. I pretty much kept my mouth shut and worked my a** off. One of the great things about that time was that I got to work on one of the best concrete forming crews in the nation. There were 16 of us and each week two got laid off and two new people were hired. It ensured that only the best carpenters were on the crew. The work was killer hard and we literally ran for 8 hours a day but we were paid very well and we did fantastic work. It was the most exhausting and exhilarating job I ever had. I worked with them for a year and a half until I finally quit out of boredom and started my own business. I can drive through Atlanta even now and see the fruits of my labors. Very satisfying. So even though the guys were all rednecks, they were very talented rednecks and I learned a lot from them. I suspect that you are learning quite a bit from your co-workers even though they seem to be from another planet.

I'm afraid, though, that smiling politely and saying " thank you " when I get a rock thrown at me just gets more rocks thrown at me. However, I'm unfailingly polite to people who maintain a near constant bitter sarcasm, and occasionally a polite greeting to people who treat me and most people like crap edges out a polite and friendly response.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Re: OT: Chris's Job Yeah, although that's not the worst of it. I'd rather work somewhere... <snip> .... where the guy who gets carried by his neck off the ground a quarter mile to the supervisor's office doesn't get an equal punishment as the perpetrator, where people don't throw rocks at me, where the smaller guy's aren't picked on by everyone else including having their glasses broken in their locker, having someone else's lock getting put on their locker, having their lunch stolen and hidden in the freezer, or having dirty underpants hung from their truck's antenna-- not to mention getting chased down and covered in duct tape <snip> ************** Just wondering...Is this what you have listed under the " objective " section of your resume?

Surfing the web for jobs is only slightly more useful than buying a newspaper for the want ads - doesn't get you anywhere if you don't apply. Better than surfing is networking - 65-80% of all jobs are obtained by referral and introduction. 5% through recruiters and the remaining 15-30% from websites, newspapers, etc. So apportion your job search time the same way. Network!!! The best way to find a job is to decide where you want to work and what you want to do. Decide where geographically you want to do it and find the companies in that geography that pay people to do it. Then network your way to the hiring manager at the companies you have targeted. Who do you know or can get to know who can introduce you to the hiring manager? Get them to introduce you or at least get your resume into the hiring manager's hands. A resume is an advertisement designed to get you an interview and give the interviewer space to write notes (2 pages, last 10 years of experience, skills you have and want to do again, followed by proof that you have them). It is NOT your entire life on two pieces of paper and it should be rewritten for each company - highlighting the skills that are needed at that particular company. A cover letter proves you did your homework on the company. It will mention the problem the company is having (no company hires without having a problem - why spend money on an employee you do not need?) and how you can solve it. " I am the salesman that can help your bottom line given your need to expand your market and the opportunity you have recently developed to provide service with your new widget. I have sold widgets successfully for Company X, expanding their market by Y% in Z months. " How would you really like to earn a living? You are quite verbally intelligent, articulate and well spoken - skills you are not using building concrete things. You mention a job that is taking a long time to come through. Could you temp in that field? The secretaries know the hiring managers. Connie H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
