Question About Job Adds

[Japher]

I am gainfully employed and love my job but once I get my MBA in Dec. I will begin to resent my allotment in life along with everyone who has it as well as I feel I should... Obviously.

I have been surfing job boards for that "dream job" and I feel that I have found it. However, I wouldn't be able to start until Jan (where I interviewed and offered it). Should I still apply?

Also, 6 months seems like a long time to look for a job, but I hear that's about par now a days... anyone?

Also, is there a way to tell if a job posting is really just a gold pot to lure resumes, without there really being a job available?

Also, how would you convey availability? If the job has been up for a while I would assume that they don't have a ton of candidates. My old boss used to leave job postings up for months just to find THE right guy with no real intention of hiring anyone until the next quarter or so.

Thoughts?

Apply for it if it's a dream job. Depending on the job, it can take months just to get through HR to the people who do the interviews and make the decision. If they like you they may wait a few more months. If not, what has it cost, an email and some anxiety.

I usually check my post a little more carefully when calling others out.

Um, I was being ironic?

That's not irony, Alanis! [/nazi]

Ah... drunk posting.

Anyone know anyone at Hospira, Inc.? Figure there's Chicago folk around here, and if I'm going to apply might as well see if there's an employee referral program. I'm qualified for the job and actually rather sane and serious about my work despite what I post here.

Anyway. PM me...

is this spam?

Physicists are considered to have started looking late if they start looking less than 6 months before they graduate.

Here's how I see it:

it will take about 1-3 months to get a job that pays around $40,000
for each 10,000 or so over that add a month. So a job that pays around 100,000 would be 3 + 6 or 9 months.

That's in a good economy.
