Well, I wanted to give an update of what has gone on so far. I went to talk with my old boss last friday and everything went well. It wasn't an interview like I was expecting. It was basically to show me what the company has been doing, what has changed and what has stayed the same. I was...
zdas04 (David) First off, congradulations on your retirement and thank you for replying to my post. That's not quite how I expected that to be interpreted. As far as the upcoming opportunity is concerned, No, I do not plan on retiring from there (if hired of course). But I do plan to stay...
Thank you everyone for your quick replies, it is greatly appreciated. I'm meeting with them this friday for lunch so I will see what happens then. Honestly, this was a nice company to work for and if they are going to be using me for more than just tooling design this time around, I can't see...
Well, since my last post I have received a call from my previous employeer. The previous employeer was my first engineering job as an associate tool design engineer. I worked there for a year then in 2001 I was laid off because of slow business. From my last posts you can tell that I'm rather...
Well, I did this quite backwards and I'm glad that I did. I went to check out Augusta, GA earlier this week without sending any resumes out. I liked the town, it looked like a nice place to live and the cost of living is quite acceptable but wasn't totally impressed and I knew I wouldn't be...
What do I enjoy about my job? Despite my post on my frustrations there are a few things here that are satisfying.
1. The people I work with. We have our inner struggles but who doesn't?
2. Seeing the aircraft and ground support veichles that use the wiring harnesses that we've built for...
I would like to thank everyone for replying to my post. This trip is a month or so away so I still have time to do some research. I may get a job almanac with a list of companies and search for the ones in the areas that I'm targeting. Since I am still young...just turned 27 yesterday, I...
Ok, I've been doing an online search for a little while now and I thought about what may be considered a more aggressive approach and I would like some of your opinions on whether or not it would be worth a try. I've been targeting a couple of particular states south of where I live for my job...
I would suggest that you look at where you are in your life. If you have a family, children, etc... you need to look at how the change will affect or benefit them. Career choice #1 would definately give you all the time that you need to spend with them and that IS important. On the other...
Ok, here's a little more background. My boss (dir of eng) was hired from outside the company. All the other directors/bosses came from one department where the boss of that department put them there. So, in other words, my boss is the black sheep of the group. He does he best not to draw...
I too am disenchanted with my current job situation. My frustrations are the whole job, everything about it. Hence my post "Need career advise." My frustrations are as follows:
1. A boss that's supposedly an engineer but doesn't know how things work in our company...or what we do. I guess...
At least they are asking which shows that he wants to know why or why not. Everybody has to start somewhere. At one point you didn't know. Oh, and don't give the answer that I hear all the time, "because, this is how we've always done it."
As for the companies looking for someone with a...
