That's weird! People lie on their resumes?

50k wtf? That is awful. Come to Utah.

Just the fact you are looking for a job on the first day is a good sign. Best of luck to you

Well with AT&T it is hourly and commission. Great benefits plus they pay for school if you decide to go back. I made just over 49k last year and I'm part time. Some of the full time reps made 60k last year. But sales is stressful tho. On the plus side... you meet babe's everyday.

Recommend changing your email address. Live and Hotmail accounts are actually looked at by employers as big no no's.

Chen, u must work at the Corvalis store i take it? (Im OSU alum too btw)

I'm the store manager for Warrenton (you know, the guy who wins all the chamberlain awards!

)

Im currently leaving my position and am taking a job as a GM for a new company, thus the reason I will be able to make events soon.

And yes, AT&T has been a great place to work and the pay is solid. I've been in the company for almost 5 years now.

ilpad · 03-22-2013, 08:42 PM

Chen, u gotta update that T-Space yo! (AT&T inside joke)

I know the feeling Josh. I was practically laid off from the Navy after serving 14 years for High year tenure. But don't worry opportunities are out there!
Also a little tip from experience. I was too making around 45-48k yearly salary in the military and well you are entitled to unemployment for 6 months after having worked full time for a minimum of 1yr. Oregon unemployment weekly rate is 534. You can live off that for 6 months till you land a job. That's what I'm doing right now. I'm making more money doing nothing than getting a full time job that pays minimum wage. Just a thought. I'm hoping to land a federal Job pretty soon before my 6 months of unemployment run out.

Sorry to hear that.... I second govjobstoday. Working for "the man" is where it's at.

Make sure your Facebook profile looks professional. Most employers now search that stuff to see what your personal life is like and if you bad talk your employer.

I should probably not talk about dating or silly stuff as much then.
