    Speaking of the beer helmet, I think that Jason sent one of them out to get modified for jagbombs (square holder and everything). lol!

    Right now I am trying to figure out what to put on my resume as a title ... like ... massive "so what is it .. you would say ... ya DO here?" moment :roll:

    I can't exactly put "annuity service representative" because i don't want another one of these jobs... but really. This is the hardest part of job hunting next to the interview process.

    i change my objective up occasionally...right now its

    "To obtain a position that will allow me to utilize my leadership, analytical, and communication skills while complementing my personality and work ethic."


    imo interviewing is fun...as long as you have confidence you can just treat it as a game.

    I've never understood why there should be an objective section at the top of your resume. I think it's better to replace that part with a few bullets that reflect your strong points.

    It's pretty freaking obvious that you are looking for a position when you send out a resume. lol.

    But then again, I'm the one without the job here so don't listen to me. hehehe.

    I don't understand why I have to brand myself as X thing when I'm really not looking for a job in that field anymore!

    That is why I've had so many damned phone jobs. :hsugh:

    If it's "Spaghettification" you want, bring the resume to me. I'll spill some spaghetti on it, and then give it back to you.

    Tom, want to work parts????

    lol. From my experience with tonka sooby, they're probably looking for more "eriks".

    He can find a part on the comp faster than the other guys working there, while trolling through two pages of nasioc, a page of mnsub, and playing tetris at the same time.

    The other guys at mtka prolly just stand around and watch erik, sometimes mumbling "Erik is teh 1337 @ computorzing...mmm"

    But in all seriousness, Erik finds the right parts the first time, and doesnt leave you on the phone while he "looks it up" for 10 min like the old timers they've got there.

    Or maybe I've just had a bad experience with the other guys in parts.

    and also, inform me more of this demolishing and what you get paid. It sounds pretty sweet.

    I might keep it in the back of my head for whenever I'm done with the AF.

    if you like driving...i pretty sure sam's club is looking for a lost prevention person...i know they start at like $12 an hour...and they paid $.44 a mile if you're traveling...so if you drive 60 miles to and from one club to the other...that's almost $27, and that's just the driving for one day...i know people that add extra miles just because no one will check...if you want try that...

    Yeah, you were right.

    The funny part is that it was one of those postings that I thought I was totally not qualified for but applied for anyways. lol.

    Thanks for the kind words, help and support from everyone. :)
