Well my Uncle passed away several weeks ago. That's a mother, an uncle and a daughter on the fringe of death all as the toll for 2008. I am still out in jobless land and beginning to see that the system sucks as badly as I suspected.
Have you ever used those job boards? They are pure unadulterated bullshit....have about the same functional value as the wailing wall...gives you a place to go and get it off your chest, but the net affect is you are absolutely no better off for the experience. I think I am going to plan a test, because I am pretty certain nobody even looks at these things.
You fill out inordinate amounts of information, "apply for a position", sometimes receive a computer generated acknowledgment and sometimes not, and the process seems to stop there. If I am correct, nobody even looks at these things. I would like to know of all the applicants how many people have actually received a call back from a company as the result of posting out on these boards. My guess is that the number on a percentage of all who use these boards is actually very small.
We shall see
