Slashdot Mirror

Is your dad willing to move somewhere else? simplyhired.com lists lots of jobs near Washington, DC, that require a security clearance.

What disingenuous cunt you are!

https://www.google.com/search?...

First result: http://www.cisco.com/web/partn... -- That title is, specifically, a Cisco certification.
Second result: The reference to the sheriff's office you mentioned.
Third result: http://www.simplyhired.com/sea... -- 31 jobs looking specifically for that title.
The rest of the results on the first page of google results bring you to a host of job sites, to listings that seem to be hiring technical people - most with an emphasis on networking, which I can only assume means they're looking specifically for people with the aforementioned Cisco certification.

So are you admitting that you - with all your big opinions about Computer Science and college degrees - don't know how to use Google? Or are you admitting that you're trying (and failing) to make yourself look smart by talking shit about someone else?

Maybe your 15 years would be better spent listening, instead of sharing your ignorant-ass, retarded opinions with the rest of the world?

The median salary for a postdoctoral cell biologist is slightly higher than the median for a truck driver, but not as much as I would expect.

My point, though, is that to take someone whose IQ is in the top .01% of the bell curve and put him to work driving a truck is a shocking waste of talent.

Costco pays 50K!? WFT...the average American makes just over $30K these days...and the average college grad (not recent grad...but anyone with the degree) barely makes more than $50K...why/how is Costco paying so much?

You're telling me you have a PhD in molecular bio and you aren't near that top 1% of income?

Cutoff for top 1%: about $380,000.

Average salary of PhD in molecular biology: $76,000.

Scientists are not, generally, 1%ers.

Unless there was some serious gender wage discrimination happening (I wouldn't be surprised if there were), "bank vice president" is not and never will be a middle class job.

Sounds like you don't know much about banks - it's a well-worn joke that everybody at a bank who isn't a teller is a vice president. They hand out titles instead of raises.

$66K - Average Bank Vice President Salaries

But then again, look at this salary survey - Space Cadet jobs have increased 671%, while Farmer jobs have decreased 84%. Something seems wrong.

Maybe you can enlighten us.

If you can pay $20k a year to get a degree and make $40,000 a year teaching high school biology, gosh, why would you want to do actual science??

It seemed a little high to me too, but the Internet never lies....

Apparently the Army expects to you search for Private First Class rather than PFC.

Is simplyhired.com a reliable site for salary metrics? See... I checked with them, and I could make more working as a horse than I could if I stayed at my current job as a potato

The poster neglected to link to the sites involved.

Here's a fully linked version:

"BusinessWeek reports that Facebook has just raised another $25M from Venture Capital. Along the same lines, Rupert Murdoch has bought a minority stake in SimplyHired and just two days ago the social networking site, Visible Path said it raised $17M from Venture Capitals."

I forgot to add, http://www.indeed.com/ is similar allthough not as extensive in its searches as http://www.simplyhired.com/ Both of these websites show the power of web 2.0 when applied to job searches.

how about a little sense of humor and/or personality? so many employment & job search sites out there are completely devoid of a human sensibility or fun. who says you can't be useful yet still enjoy the ride...

I've definitely been in your position.

First of all, it takes time to find a job/company you really like. But don't give up! Don't give in! I went through several jobs until landing a job AND company that I can truly say I love. Nothing is perfect, but it's magnitudes better than any other job/company I've been at.

It's going to take time. Expect to spend several hours of week. Sometimes your effort may seem fruitless, but that's because this is a difficult mission. It's easy to find bad companies or jobs that you don't want.

I suppose this doesn't really help you seeing that you are incredibly busy. I suppose I'm assuming that you can find a couple hours on the weekend to devote to some online job searching. The best thing you can do is keep at it!

Shameless plug: Try out this awesome meta-job search engine (the company I'm currently at): http://www.simplyhired.com/

What I find so useful about rss feeds is that I don't have to go visit all the websites. I don't have to open up my bookmarks. I don't have to navigate to subpages for specific content.

With RSS, I simply load up my feed reader (Newsfire on OS X - its great) and it grabs everything without forcing me to do anything. Many of you are pointing out that with just lists of headlines in the news feed, you might as well go to the website to see the same thing. That is true, but for me it is easier to open up 1 information point and get ALL the headlines than go to a bunch of sites for the same thing. For me it is is just much more efficient. AND it provides a consistent interface - I just see the headlines. No dealing with crap designs on some sites.

Also, I happen to be looking for a new job now and 2 job site search engines (indeed.com and simplyhired.com) allow you to search all the other job sites and then save out a custom RSS feed based on your search criteria. This saves me a ton of time because I don't have to manually do a repetitive search. Hits just come straight to me. Its great.

The best thing about RSS is that once its set up, you no longer need to remember to check stuff. Now, this is great for non-tech people. Slashdot readers are probably more interested in control and immediacy than the average person. And setting feeds up with Safari is very easy. Any site with a feed is detected and shows an RSS logo in the address bar. Click it and (by default) it will bookmark the feed in safari or if you've changed your default reader, it will launch that app and bookmark. Simple.

actually, we haven't paid him anything yet; but if he's a little bit more effusive in praising us & included a few more links to our site we might think about it ;)
