I need a job.

[Lokidude]

Just did a quick check of my company for Idaho (Idaho Falls, right?), and nothing. I'll pull a more detailed check when I get to work tomorrow, see if the internal board has anything.

If you go and are looking for work, dress as you would for a job interview, because many companies use these meetings to recruit from and have been known to do on-the-spot interviews at the meetings where you might get hired.

+1. I once got a very good job offer indeed from a global mega-corporation on the basis of a conversation I had with a random neighbour over lunch at a professional seminar. I wasn't even job-hunting at the time. You just never know.

Other than that, best of luck - unfortunately, I have no contacts or expertise in your line of work.

Thanks guys.

I thought I needed to revamp my resume. That's one reason why I figured I would air it out here.

Well I will see what I can do.

Moose, what part of the country do you reside in? (general location)

[Netpackrat]

Have you considered hiring a consultant to help prepare you for interviews?

[moose42]

I live in south west Idaho.

Well I am almost done revamping my resume. I think it is much better now.

Nice one Netpackrat. I need a YOB!

I hope you live close to Boise (grin).

One thing to watch out for, there are a lot of fake job ads posted to CL. They are farming for clients, information, etc. If you reply by e-mail and express an interest in a job, and you get back an e-mail application for an employment service, don't follow up. They will send you a bunch of spam about furthering your education by applying to such and such college. Move on to the next ad.

Check USA Jobs. There are real non-political jobs. Or the DA civilian job site, or the USAF site...

Or Northrup-Grumman, or SAIC, or CACI. Tons of contractors working for the government, especially the military, all good people doing good work.

Moose, how far are you willing to travel?

Moose, how far are you willing to travel?

Well I would like to stay in Idaho, but with this economy who knows where I might need to go.
