Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
There's no job thread? Now there is!

That wouldn't hurt my feelings. Actually I would rather stay in the plains as I would still chase storms on the side. The good news is that I would likely stay in Oklahoma or go to Kansas or Colorado.
I am in need of some supplementary income to pay off my (crappy) car that likes to surprise me with repair bills every month and was wondering what success people had with websites like eLance and oDesk for freelance writing. My one friend works for oDesk and has had minimal success but told me you have to wade through a lot of crap in order to get to job postings that are worth your time.
I have experience in writing technology, business, health, and general human interest articles but due to my employer, I cannot work on anything in the medical field because it would be a conflict of interest.
It would help to know what field you are in. There are some websites that specialize in job postings for just those fields and nothing else. For example, journalism has websites like journalismjobs.com and Media Bistro that just post media job offers.
If all else fails, Joe has a very high track record of finding people job postings in their field, I am sure he could point you in the right direction.
Since a few people asked this, I'm a librarian. A public librarian, at that. My job now is touching on a bunch of other things like HR, basic payroll management, and grant management (writing, executing, reporting, etc.) and those skills would transfer elsewhere but I'd have to convince someone of that.
It's not even that I don't like my job but dang heck I could use some more money.
Lady SH just tooted this
"Guy walks into the office and demands to speak with a man. I ask him what he needs, "What are you, Japanese? You no speak American?""

I try to use my incredible psychic powers to destroy the warehouse in a cataclysmic explosion that tears the earth asunder
No luck yet but I'm optimistic
zip good luck it sounds awesome
i need to learn how to be awesome and confident at selling myself T_T
This is compared with the current place I am contracted with. They found me, got me a job and didn't string me along with useless busy work. Also, they used email. This labsupport lady keeps calling me- I hate using the phone. She seems nice enough, but I am not feeling it. Last month she had a job for me, but it fell through. Never even got the name of the company. Now she has another- for reals this time! Should call her back in case it's real but

If for a sales job follow these tips....
Tip 1: Be cocky about your self. Show extreme confidence in your abilities.
Tip 2: Make it seem as if not hiring you is a foolish choice since the competition will, and you will take them to the next level.
Tip 3: No mater what gender you are, have a firm handshake that starts with showing your palm up.
Tip 4: Keep your posture and stance in mind, your image and how confidant you really are will show in it. If you slouch you look weak.
Tip 5: Have a seat first and offer your hand shake first.
Tip 6: Be able to rapidly answer any question with out much thought. Keep your responses to short yet sweet replies and be ready to over come any objection with out a second thought. Remember, they are trying to test your sales skills. If you can't sell your self you cannot sell their product.
Tip 7: Keep as much control over the interview process as you can. Through your replies to their answers make sure you set up and lead them on to questions or elaborations that only make you look positive in their eyes.
Tip 8: Be sure not to drink lots of alcohol until after you have left their offices with a start date.
jobs in Ottawa
I used to go to the government sponsored job website and sift through about 15 pages of job entries.
today there were 4....
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.
I work for Blizzard.
WoW, that is awesome!
Man, and they're cutting people? Or, asking people to volunteer to be cut, I suppose?
Sheri Baldwin Photography | Facebook | Twitter | Etsy Shop
They had about six hundred layoffs a few weeks ago.
I don't think anyone around here who works for Blizzard has been cut yet (though I haven't heard from Sarakun in a long time) but yeah, errybody's on edge right now.
People always get pissy about that.
I'm in the position where my job isn't one that will be gotten rid of but I can still volunteer if I like. I've applied for a working holiday visa for Canada so I figure now is as good a time as any to leave.
and so far it has asked me for a full 5 year history (gaps between jobs and all)
and a shitheap of other things and my brain is shutting down and
I put my resume up on there, mentioning I want to move from test into dev, I'm only interested in positions in Seattle, and that I prefer contact via email.
Naturally, I immediately started getting calls about test positions in Redmond.
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
I am still consistently amazed by the amount of painstaking detail demanded by some roles
When I basically got to walk in to a school and become a trainee teacher
I guess your children aren't as important as banking details! Or postal dispatches.

Well... maybe the dad will be a soothing influence? All the best, it might be fun!
