If your ISU fandom comes into question ask them if they've ever checked out a CF Game Day thread.

Seriously good luck; that sounds like a cool place to work.

It should be on his resume! Not necessarily job related, but points to extracurriculars, skill, timeliness, and dedication.

Best of luck with the interview. Second round is a bit more interesting IMO. you get to find a little more about what’s really going on in the organization.

In my experience (on both sides of the equation) the formality of the 1st job interview is one of the dumbest most pointless exercises in professional life. The predictable, predetermined Q&A tells me nothing about either the applicant or the company. Worse, a lot of skilled and competent people get screened out because they get tripped up by a question and get rattled.

Last couple of interviews had parts where they asked things like tell me I time where fill in the blank. But 19 years at a one place I had good answers for all of them.

Biggest thing for me is get healthy to do any job. Been doing chiro and physical therapy for my back. Last couple of days been able to do 20 minutes on a treadmill which a couple of weeks ago would have been impossible.

Just get a job, any job and start doing your best. Then you can start looking around again. It seems to be easier to get a job when you have a job and you are less desperate. I did that when I was younger and ended up with a great job. When I had no job, getting a new job was brutal

Never thought it would be this hard. One of reasons I was at OC for 19 years.

Wishing you nothing but the best in your interview. Let your true self shine and they will see your dedication and loyalty. I predict a Shaq dunk of bringing down the backboard.

Its hard out there. My wife was layed off 13 months ago and she is still searching for a full time position.

 

[carvers4math]

Should we be emailing JP? Make sure they know how important you are to Cyclone Nation!

 

[Jer]

You’ll get a great landing spot, you deserve it too much not to. I have all the faith in the world in you and are really proud of how you’ve been able to fight through these past many months.

Are they aware that you need midnight off prior to game days?

 

[BCClone]

Good luck, brother. You’re a natural for the spot.

 

[Cyched]

It’s hard out there. My wife was layed off 13 months ago and she is still searching for a full time position.

Dang. What field, if you don’t mind me asking.

Its hard out there. My wife was layed off 13 months ago and she is still searching for a full time position.

It’s brutally hard.

 

[DGC]

Good Luck Sir!!

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Dang. What field, if you don’t mind me asking.

She was a VP of Marketing/Communications. Company got bought and that was it for her 20+ years there. Dont feel bad for us. She got 1 year severance and has been doing contract work. But it is crazy the amount of resumes she has submitted that just go into a dark hole.

 

[Cyhig]

You’ll get a great landing spot, you deserve it too much not to. I have all the faith in the world in you and are really proud of how you’ve been able to fight through these past many months.

Same goes for you Jer. Keep fighting the fight. We all support you

And good luck Rulzzz. This would be something that seems to check all your boxes

 

[Jdk]

Good luck Rulzz wishing you all the best at your interview

Good to hear. Keep it up. Now go get that job!

Yes, and physical exercise is so important. I was lucky in that with my work, it was about 60-70% up and walking around, treating patients; and only 30-40% deskwork (probably 40 because I was slow at it and they kept adding to it). So even in periods where I didn't augment with other exercise, I got a lot of daily exercise thru work.

Folks w/ sedentary work / deskwork, really need to take standing and walk breaks during the work day, and also augment with extra exercise. Our bodies aren't made to do deskwork only. I might be assuming wrongly that your past jobs were mostly deskwork (tech, computer stuff ??). If so, my bad.

 

[NWICY]

Good luck today Rulzzz!!!

 

[cycloner29]

Best of Luck Rulzz. We will all be your references if they ask for them.
