I have been wholeheartedly searching for a job but, as I reside in Michigan, I suffer the dwindling economy.
The little information packet that I recieved after my first interview says that there are over 65,000 employees of ERAC. How many could be posting on this site? I truly am just trying to put it into perspective. I am an intelligent guy and have great ambitions, ERAC not being one of them. I want to use this as a stepping stone until I save enough money to pay for the grad school I want to attend. But, I am an avid gym enthusiast and LOVE my family/personal life and am very threatened by the possibility of losing that.
Point being: from the looks of all of the replies, I feel quite certain that getting this job is not as difficult as I surmised. (I prepped quite extensively) I will take it, probably, and just F them over if need be. I will gain the experience and suffer the malevolance until I leave. Thanks to everyone for all of their opinions, I will probably still take this job for the need of cash flow...but will have no qualms about quitting suddenly. thanks again!!! |
I live in Michigan too...so I can sympathize...couple of tips:
EVERY chance you get pump out your resume..use sick days, etc to interview.
Try a different method to get a gig...use some college buddies and parents' friends.
You say you're going to grad school...try to find a research or assistant position with the University.
Run like hell from Enterprise when you get something. They will BEG you to stay and say all sorts of bullshit of this is the best, blah, blah...trust your gut..
And last..grab your ankles, stick your head firmly between your legs...and kiss your ass good-bye...cause you are going to be absolutely miserable.
