Why in God's name are you people *****ing? This thread is to wish che luck in finding a job. Insensetive bastards!

**chequita guevara** · November 25, 2003, 17:17

Not really. I was just noticing how much work is out there right now. Compared to a year ago, there's MUCH more work.

**DinoDoc** · November 25, 2003, 17:19

Found anything interesting?

**Jack_www** · November 25, 2003, 17:21

Well I notice too that their is a lot of new job positings were I am looking for a job, the problem is that every time I go on a interview it seems like I never make it. It is hard to go for months looking for a job and no one hires you.

**GePap** · November 25, 2003, 18:13

Like I said, it went on for 9 months for me..the thing is, you never know.

Think of it this way: if you give up looking, the chances of you not finding a job are 100%. They go down significantly as long as you keep looking.

I'm not going to rant.

Glad to hear that you found work, Che!

Now you'll be looking forward to that big wedding next year, eh?

Tell me about it. You might want to take a week or so off on "vacation" from looking for work, to get refreshed, so you won't be thinking about all the rejections.

BK, thanks, but I've been working since March.

I just expect my contract to end in mid-January, unless some new project comes up that my manager can charge to another department. I know they didn't get an increase in their budget this year, so that means they probably didn't get the money to buy my contract out or extend my contract through March, 2005.

I do need to get the heck out of Jax, though. I need a more intellectually stimulating town. I'm looking at: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Milwaukee, Minniapolis-St. Paul, NYC, Washington, Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, Toronto, etc. Wouldn't mind Austin, but BG vetos any move to Texas. A university town would also suffice. Wouldn't mind moving to Europe either.

Vancouver

Ever been up here before Che?

And I knew you were working, just worried about the end of your contract.

The biggest problem with living in Vancouver, are the housing costs.

Much higher than anywhere else in this province. I have a cousin who lived in New Westminster in a little bungalow and bought a very nice house in the Interior for the money she got selling the bungalow.

I'm a city mouse at heart.

A university town would also suffice.

Come to Oxford!

Perferably in a civilized state.

I wouldn't quibble. You live in Florida.

Certainly not giving money to the rich.

Call it keeping the incentive to produce. It's capitalism, baby. What would you know about that.
