I've been looking for a job for a while, but have had no luck. I've sent lots of email, made lots of phone calls, even had some interviews (they say I did wonderful), but no offers :nopity: . So anyone in the Houston, TX area need a college grad (BBA in Management and MIS) feel free to post here or send a PM.

 

 

Does anyone else have this problem, or am I the only one?? :)

 

Thanks

Michael

Have you tried GOING to the place dressed nice and fill out an app while your there? I guess I am old fashoned. An email and a phone call anyone can do. A person that wants a job goes to the jobs and asks. imo.

Thanks for the reply

Yes, of all the places that I contacted so far, the only ones to give a formal interview were the ones that I went to in person. So I definitely agree that is the best way to go. Here's the interesting thing, after the interview several of the places gave me a website to log on to from home and answer more questions (psychological profile), so essentially I ended up where I started. At home.

That is good advice, but doesn't always work in todays world. Like with government jobs (at least on the federal level), you have to apply online for almost all positions (no paper apps accepted). That is just how they do things. Or if you are applying many states away like I am currently (though mine all had to be online anyways).

 

But if you are applying for jobs in your area and you can actually fill out applications in person, it is always good to stop by.

 

Good luck in the job hunt.

Here is my 2 cents on this. Networking, After getting laid off the 1st time I did the online thing and a few days later would either send an email or call the company. I got a few interviews this way but I was still jobless. The way I have gotten my last two jobs was through friends.

Have you thught about service to your country? I am sure a lot of the readers will agree that it is a good start and you get something that no college grad has and that is experience. It is a proud profession.

 

MY 2 Cents.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
