Hi Norm,I work at NASNI on Coronado. We are always hiring QA types. Not sure what is open now but might check USA jobs in San Diego. You can't beat the vacation and sick time but the pay isn't usually that great. Send me a pm if you have questions.Good luck!John Burgess
Monday I begin an auditing assignment for an outfit the had some key people leave before a regulatory compliance change and an acquisition of another company - it will be fun to audit an outfit that I didn't build. Thanks for all your support -
Too funny - I came here today to see if it had dropped low enough to delete it. Not the first time I vowed to delete a thread (other forums) and somebody had a valid reason for me not to.So - my tale won't help you much, but just in case ...My biggest struggle was morale. You can only spend so much time each day trolling, bait casting, and drop lining for work, and then you need to do something to distract yourself. I did not get out of the house often enough, when I have a motorcycle and a beach at my disposal. Try to do better than I did.
Replies are amazing, simply amazing.Let me start w a simple question. Years ago resumes were all about bullet points, now I hear they want short descriptions, almost essays. Is that true?
That's one good way. You need to emphasize the things you've done to help former employers make money, NOT necessarily how good you are at doing specific things. Depending what sort of work you do, that could be all kinds of different "essays".Tom said "Functional not chronological" and that's truer today than ever - you don't need to indicate anything that will directly imply your age. "Age discrimination" is rampant, hard to defend yourself against, and impossible to prove, but it exists everywhere ....Lannis
"Arf"Current counsel says resume what you did this century, not the last.I sat in on an audit of the HR process this week and when they get flooded with resumes for a position requiring a degree, they get screened by a computer tool and only the ones mentioning a degree go forward for review.
Lannis,I hear you on age discrimination. To add salt to the wound, the younger guys w no kids will work for almost nothing just to get their career started.It's a dog eat dog world, eh?Joe
