Crazyweasel posted:Here is a good way to think about it. I think you are right on the money. But there is also something to consider. If they can't pay you a good wage because they don't have funding, you should really ask why they don't have the funds? If the company isn't worth investing in then why invest several years of your life upwards of a decade to it?

T. J. Eckleburg posted:Thanks for the advice guys. I will leave my GPA off my resume and emphasize the internship. Good thing I didn't give a poo poo about my grades! Glad to know all that effort doesn't mean poo poo to you guys and you only spend 20 seconds looking at if we worked at a Fortune 100 or Fortune 500 company.

My anecdotal experience has been that larger and more established companies care about GPA especially during internship recruitment during undergrad. After graduating- not sure.

So you just prefer an empty email with 2 attachments?

Darth Brooks posted:I'm looking for work with graphics and the local newspaper is looking for a graphic designer to work with Adobe Suite. (aka someone to do typesetting in ads) They specifically ask for people with Mac experience. I've used Photoshop forever and I've had 5 months of working with Indesign. I'm as computer literate as most goons and pick stuff up fast. At this point I'm telling the people at work "Did you know you can do this with (PS/InD)" Just lie and say you know how to use a mac, then practice on one at the apple store and take some of those classes- or don't- its pretty easy.

THE MACHO MAN posted:Quick question: What are the thoughts for long hair and a beard on a guy looking to get a job in either marketing, pr, copy writing, media, maybe sales? Marketing- neat trim beard ok, long hair ok PR- neat trim beard ok, long hair ok Copy writing- short beard, good haircut needed Media- I don't know Sales- clean shaven, hair cut In general it depends on what region you are in. In San Francisco you can get away with anything. In sales you generally want to look as sharp as possible.

With sales you aren't just dealing with employees of your company. You are dealing with the general public. You could easily have a day where even 1 prospect or person you run into doesn't like your look and it shakes your confidence all day. Not only will they not buy from you, but they will poo poo all over you.

Recruiters are scatter brained and full of poo poo. They make a living puffing everything up and say things like that to sound important. As soon as your conversation is over, forget it ever happened and operate as if his prospect never came into your head. They spend all day making these calls and all they can do is try and sell you for you.

A recruiter can't make an offer, the hiring manager makes the offer. A recruiter is a middle-person, and inserts themselves as a go between. Them saying you will get an offer in 24 hours is worthless because the actual deciders need to see and meet and approve budget. Internal ones know more than external ones, but that doesn't raise the threshold by a whole lot. External recruiters earn by placement, so they work harder to actually sell their candidates to fit positions. Internal recruiters have their own metrics and whatnot but it is not the same as an external agency, and some internal recruiters are just straight salary don't give a poo poo if they place people at all types.

neogeo0823 posted:Thank god I found this thread. I'm looking for a new job at the moment, and I've known for a while that my resume is poo poo, but I haven't known how to fix it. Apparently I did a lot of the rehashing experiences thing, instead of showcasing accomplishments thing. The resume service on SA Mart is great for helping you uncover accomplishments. The key is to quantify everything you possibly can and not make any vague and obvious statements. I know what you mean though. Everyone wants someone who has "managed, accomplished, influenced" etc even for entry level or internships but wants them to be "team player" drones who won't accomplish anything here themselves and the cycle repeats itself. So they want you to tell them what you accomplished to sort of poo poo test you to see what kind of worker you are, or at least put yourself out there as.

It's not pushing it. The HR person gets 100's of emails a day.

Tell no one anything. Wait for offers. Pick best one. If you have to quit after a week so be it.
