THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT birdbarian and I were discussing maybe having a tacked thread to help those folks looking for employment. This is an attempt at just such a thread. I'm open to suggestion, but I was thinking if you are looking for work, please post some info about your location, background, type of job you seek, etc. Anything that might be helpful. Let's try doing something like the member locator. I'll update THIS first post with info you guys add to the thread. If you want anything added, deleted or modified in this thread, simply make another post and I'll update here. That way all the info is in one spot up front for ease of use. Sound okay?? Suggestions?? If you guys find value in this we'll sticky the thread and I'll maintain it. Mark |

What about a thread for those interested, that list qualifications of members. There maybe the occasional question that comes up about a trade or vocation. There may be people from time to time that are looking for someone with the skills needed to do various types of work. Some things that need to be done may require special licensing. Just a thought.

I think this is a great idea Mark!! I actually lost my job recently due to some old high school office politics.
Im currently living in the Cumberland Mall area. Willing to relocate to anywhere for work in the city of Atlanta or north of Atlanta (Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, etc. just not in the ghetto or far away from the young life). Also willing to move out of state to another decently sized city, preferably with a decent ratio of females to males. 
Background I graduated in '09 with a double major in Accounting and Finance with Major GPA of 3.48 and 3.43 respectively. My honors and awards consist of Accounting Honor Society, Dean’s List – 4 Terms, Academic Achievement Award 2007-2009, and HOPE Scholarship. My leadership experience and student activities consist of President of both the Accounting Club and Finance Club, Student Member, Georgia Society of Certified Public Accountants (GSCPA), Performed motivational speeches about the benefit of a degree in accounting before students of the University of West Georgia and of Alexander High School respectively, and Headed UWG’s 2009 Winter Blood Drive as Team Leading Coordinator surpassing personal goal. I passed all sections of the Uniform Certified Public Accountant exam on my first attempt from the beginning of '10 to mid year. My license is pending upon experience completion. I completed an internship at a local CPA firm and a contract position at one of the top 10 CPA firms in Atlanta for the busy season doing income taxation for business entities and high net-worth individuals. What Im looking for I came out of college thinking I was made for public accounting (fast track to climb the corp ladder, young and nothing holding me down from working the sweatshop 70 hour weeks, etc) I am coming to the realization that maybe tax is not my thing as it is pretty much law and it changes so frequently. I also dont see myself in external audit so public accounting is out. If it is not tax or audit but in public, Ill seriously consider it, but generally the entry level path to public is tax or audit... I am now looking into industry/private as a staff accountant. Interested in financial reporting or possibly internal audit. I have even considered govt career path at this point. I will be trying to get into the IRS (yes i know everyone hates them) as a special agent, whats cooler than crunching numbers and carrying a gun... My dream would be incorporating myself into doing accounting work in some kind of firearms business since firearms is my #1 hobby. |

City of Cumming PD is and has been looking for someone interested in a part time dispatch position.
http://www.cityofcumming.net/html/job_opportunities.html Says must have certs but I suspect given the right person that could be a negotiable thing. |

I know it sucks, but if you don't do 3-5 years in Public Accounting it will be almost impossible for you to ever rise higher than a low-level manager. You have to have those years in public accounting to make Controller or CFO. I would highly recommend a Big 4 or large regional firm. Accountant |

International Paper in Augusta. Check the website and if there is anything available that you think you can handle.....apply on-line. IM me and we'll talk. I can get your resume' placed on the top of the stack and the company will then set up your testing dates. (Passing is up to you). Mechanical/Millwright and Electrical/Instrumentation. The pay is awesome.....almost 27 per hour to start with LOTS of overtime. Top pay is close to 30 an hour. It is hard, smelly, dirty, knuckle-busting work. You also have to be a thinker, welder (we can teach you that), and EXTREMELY mechanically inclined for the millwright positions. I know that Unions aren't favored here on ARF, so I must let you know that if you go with the millwright position....we are mostly members of the United Steel Workers. (USW...It's a TRADE union). You DO NOT HAVE to join the Union.
Hope this helps someone, Intelguy01 |

My former company was generous enough to offer me outplacement service through a company called Lee Hecht Harrison. One of the things they stress is that you target specific companies, and then try to find an insider within the company to try and reach the hiring manager in your area. I was hoping as part of this thread that people looking to work at a particular company or list of companies could post their desires here. Surely someone knows somebody at the target company or is a friend of a friend. From what the outplacement folks have told me, most of the good jobs are filled through networking with friends, neighbors and even random strangers. In the almost 30 years I've been working, I believe there is only one job I landed that I did not have some sort of connection into the company by either knowing the hiring manager or knowing someone who knew him/her. This goes all the way back to my first job at Taco Bell.
Linkedin (http://www.linkedin.com) is a great tool for connecting to other professionals, as well as former co-workers, etc. Before I go on interviews, I'm able to look up the person who is interviewing me, and get some information about them and their professional background. Sometimes they know a bunch of people you know. The same thing happens in reverse. Potential employers will look at my linkedin profile to see where I have been, and who I know. I interviewed with a guy yesterday who had worked at the same company I had worked for years ago, and we had a ton of common connections. I suspect he called those guys up to check on me, which is what I did as well. In a nutshell, if you are targeting a specific company/companies, perhaps you can mention it here or maybe in another thread and see if anybody knows or possibly is an insider. |

I am a network engineer, and have lots of experience designing, implementing, upgrading and supporting medium to very large networks
My strengths are the ability to learn quickly, thrive in a team environment and solve problems. I have experience in these areas: Cisco routers switches (stack-able and chassis) firewalls (pix and FWSM) I'm comfortable working in OSPF and EIGRP environments, have even worked in RIPv2 and BGP I have some experience doing MAC work on Cisco Call Manager, but unfortunately I'm no expert on it. There's a lot of money and demand for Cisco Voice experts right now. Nortel Chassis switches (86xx and 83xx) Contivity VPN appliances I hold these certifications: CCNP CCDP CCVP CISSP |

I'm in college in Eastman getting my A&P, but circumstances are going to leave my personal finance situation a bit lean shortly, so if anyone has any hook ups with an aerospace company I'd greatly appreciate a good word or two.
Applied at Warner Robins AFB, was told I didn't make the cut. Apparently they're having some sort of hiring freeze. Also applied at Lockheed Martin in Marietta. I have a friend who is spamming their HR department with my resume every week, but any little bit helps. I'm in the next to last semester before I finish the A&P program here. I have a current Secret clearance, and have a communications background in the military. Anyone who can help, please email me. Thanks so much. |

Well it looks like I need another part-time job. I'm a full-time LEO, and was teaching drivers ed to high school students. I was told today that they are letting go of all the part-time instructors because business is slow.
I live in Forsyth county and would consider just about any part-time job around this area. I've been in law enforcement for six years, did some time in security before that, and I've also done sales for a little while. I'm willing to learn anything new...... |

Anyone in the medical device industry, 15 years sales/sales management. Most of that experience is with startup surgical devices/equipment. If so would like to talk about any opportunities they may know of or just to network with. I am also working on my MBA and am interested in any internships/part-time opportunities that may expose me to more marketing or finance experience.

Zarboe, I'm in the medical device industry on the manufacturing side. I'm on vacation this week, but when I login tomorrow to check email I will see what job postings we have up company wide and see if there is anything you might be interested in. Are you looking for part time/interships only or a full time position? Is there anyone out there with a CQE? I know we are looking for those. |
