If anyone is looking for accounting work, there's a position open at Duke. http://hr.duke.edu req # 400591174

All of y'all are probably over qualified, and don't want to work for free, but I am looking for some interns! This can be a way to get some easy college credits...

Who we are: premier strength & conditioning facility providing training services to youth, high school, and college athletes. Also providing personal training and group classes to anyone who wants to look, feel and perform better.

This internship position will be responsible for a variety of tasks that revolve around the provision of services to members and marketing to build brand awareness and drive sales.

Primarily, the intern will facilitate:
- Day-to-day operations of the training facility.
- Researching, organizing and executing local marketing and advertising campaigns to increase brand awareness and drive sales.
- Help generate social media content and manage the website.
- Participate in guerrilla/local marketing campaigns.

This position is for experience and possible college credit. However, if you are willing to learn how to provide proper training services and become certified as a personal trainer, I will pay you $25 an hour to train our members. As the business grows, this position can lead to a full time, competitively paid marketing manager position.

Do you know someone who has a desire to provide world-class service to people who are living with a lifelong disease?

Education: Bachelors Degree highly preferred, Biology or Communications major is ideal.

Send me a PM and I can go into further detail

3/29/2012 10:03:42 PM

Well lame. Just got word I might get laid off thanks to some sort of financial bs going on in my department. Not cool. Now to debate if I should start applying for a new job or give it some time and see what happens.

4/3/2012 11:07:34 AM

If anyone has (or knows someone who has) writing / journalism experience -- particularly in the business-tech or technology field, we're looking for folks.

The only rub is it's a 5PM-2AM ET slot, which is a great fit for someone in Singapore but probably a stretch for someone on the east coast. That said, it's remote.

Can PM if you've got some chops.

The engineering & construction company I work for in Greenville, SC is looking to hire lots of different people right now. We have an open Job Fair on Saturday April 14th and we also have lots of positions online from what I understand. What I was just sent at work said this:

Quote :

"Fluor has job opportunities in Greenville, and we need your help in finding suitable candidates. On Saturday, April 14, we will be hosting a job fair at the Management Development Center. The fair will last from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. If you know of someone who is qualified please forward this email along appropriately, as we need you to help spread the word to make this event a success. Positions are available in the following disciplines.

I know this won't help too many, but I figured I'd post it if there are people out there looking for engineering work who are mobile.

For what it's worth I've been here 5 years and really enjoy it.

not sure what to make of this:

">>>>>>>>>>> In a Go-Go Market, Recruiters Make a Killing By: Connie Loizos If you’re wondering whether these are frothy times, look no further than to tech recruiters. The candid ones will tell you they’re making a killing in this market. “More companies are putting more value on the quality of their recruiting talent than I’ve ever seen before,” says longtime recruiter Bill Beer, who works in the San Francisco offices of Daversa Partners. “Things right now are definitely crazy.” How crazy is hard to know, with many recruiters reluctant to discuss their own pay. But anecdotal evidence suggests a bit of a behind-the-scenes bonanza. For example, information technology-focused partners at blue-chip search firms such as Korn Ferry and Spencer Stuart have begun earning “between $2 million and $3 million a year” up from a million dollars annually several years ago, according to one veteran executive recruiter who asked not to be named. “Tech is just so much more robust than every other category right now,” says this person. Another recruiting partner at a smaller executive search firm confides that his colleagues have begun drawing annual pay of roughly $1 million, up from $500,000 in 2005. Contract recruiters are seemingly experiencing a sizable jump in pay, too. Teri McFadden, a recruiting VP at Norwest Venture Partners, who directs talent to the firm’s portfolio companies, says that the contractor recruiters she knows now command $125 an hour, up from roughly $70 per hour in 2009. What’s going on? “I think bubble is the word for it,” laughs McFadden, who handled recruiting for Accel Partners back in 1999 and who sees many similarities between the go-go days of the first dot.com boom and what the startup industry is in the throes of today. “Things are just moving at a very fast pace again.” Companies hoping the right combination of employees will carry them to the big leagues are “saying we need to hire these eight people yesterday, yet the talent pool – particularly on the engineering side – is scarce,” she says. It’s hard to overstate the supply-demand imbalance, says one Bay Area startup recruiter who says he has never seen the “stakes so high” in his more than 15 years of hiring executives into mostly venture-backed companies. “There are a lot of companies looking for talent.” “Startups look at LinkedIn and Zynga and Instagram and think that [a similar growth story] is within their reach,” says the recruiter, who asked to speak anonymously. “Though the valuation of most of these companies is more likely to go down than up, [their management teams] are operating on the belief that the opposite is true and they need to hire a good recruiter who can then hire a lot of good people — and quickly.” Unsurprisingly, the number of skilled headhunters has dwindled as a result — so much so that poaching is no longer uncommon. McFadden, for example, often hires contractors to drop into startups for months-long assignments; these days, she says she’s working harder than ever to keep her top “two or three folks” placed at all times because “I may not get them back otherwise.” Meanwhile, the veteran executive recruiter tells of one associate who was hired straight out of college by his firm in 2010 for annual base pay of $40,000. Last year, Google came knocking and hired the recent grad for a starting salary of $125,000. “There’s no doubt that the battle for talent is more difficult than ever,” says Beer, whose firm’s clients include high fliers Zynga, Airbnb, and Twitter, and who says he knows of some “private company talent execs” who have asked for, and received, pay packages at the $200,000-plus range in the last 12 months. Of course, demand for these “chief people officers” and the like is just fine with Beer, even if they’re becoming harder to find. His firm now gets paid to recruit them, “which never used to happen” in past years. It also makes for an interesting twist. As Beer notes, when asked how one becomes a recruiter: “There’s no educational training for it. Most recruiters I know didn’t seek it out. Recruiting is still not necessarily a business that people think of as their first choice.” Photo: Image courtesy of Shutterstock. Connie Loizos is a senior editor with peHUB.com.

My husband is being forced to resign from his job......

They prepared an 8 page document for him to sign and send back or just be fired. Anyone know a lawyer that can take a quick peak and make sure everything is on the up and up?

4/29/2012 1:09:11 PM

WTF did he do?

4/29/2012 3:54:21 PM

Long story short....A manger under him stole 5k and was taken away in handcuffs. They fired her and the assistant and are forcing him out because they feel like he should have caught it (it turns out she managed to steal that in a period of 2 weeks) + his new boss and him had personality conflicts so this was just a reason. They did NOT demote him because they knew he would leave and there was a lot of discussion as they waited a week to sit him down.

I am not allowed to actually say what is in the document. The main question is it says they will not fight an unemployment claim; however, if he signs the document we want to be sure he still is eligible as we are unsure if he gets to file if he resigns opposed to gets fired. Being almost 9 months pregnant, I want this sorted out immediately. He will probably have another job before the severance offered is up, but still would love it straightened out.

The only bad thing is of course we had to turn in the company car and are down to 1 car So we have to immediately get another car because of my doctors appts. and work.

4/29/2012 7:50:29 PM

^that's tuff, i'm sorry to hear that

4/29/2012 7:53:46 PM

As your lawyer, I advise you to shut the fuck up.

4/29/2012 7:58:00 PM

^^^ you can file for unemployment anytime you want. They run that claim by the employer, if the employer contests you have the opportunity to appeal.

I mean, definitely ask a lawyer. But nothing would stop him from filing. The question is whether or not they'll contest it. They say they won't in writing from what you posted. So the next and important question (for the lawyer) is whether or not that will bind them to it or if they'll be able to wiggle their way out of it.

Quote :

"He will probably have another job before the severance offered is up"

Just a friendly FYI, just about everyone who becomes unemployed thinks/says that. But I wouldn't bank on that assumption. Regardless of what you do, how well you do it, etc. there are no guarantees. I'm not trying to be negative nancy, just saying it's good to hope for the best and plan for the worst in some situations.

Since my husband and boss had apparent personality conflicts my husband had been looking for a job and has an offer in TN doing the same thing....Plus 2 solid leads in SC. I had just not wanted to move before I had the baby. Worst case he moves now without me and my son (and the expected baby)....I am not a super fan of the location but it is with his old boss so I know he would be happy.

I think we are going to give it 3 weeks to see if he can find something here or in the Columbia, SC/Augusta, GA area before we seriously discuss moving that far.

In the back of my mind, I do worry that there will be no job which is why I want to make sure that he can get that unemployment. I don't quite make enough to cover the household expenses, but with his unemployment we wouldn't have to dip into savings. (Which is great since my hospital bill for my son was 55K....even with insurance it took us quite some time to pay that off.)

4/29/2012 10:17:26 PM

jesus if it cost me that much to have a kid, we'd both be sterilized to make sure it didn't happen again.

lol. And agreed.

4/30/2012 2:28:08 PM

From people I know, and employers I know, it looks very obvious to me that your husband would have an EXCELLENT appeal chance for unemployment. They seem to always err on the side of the employee, not the employer.

But seems he is out, either way. If they are throwing severance his way, I don't know if there is much he can do about it.
