Time for a new job.......VOL Get me outta here!

[gq smooth 4]

Anyone else changing employers in 2010?

I've been at my current place for the past 4 years and have achieved all I sent out to do. There is no immediate line for promotion and my boss is acertified moron. The only reason I didn't leave last year is because I wanted to have 5 weeks off for my holiday. Now that the new year has arrived I'mgetting the hell out.

I'm currently just looking at online job postings but think I should probably just approach the people I want to work for and see what is out there.

Any ideas? what are your methods? has anyone had any luck approaching employers directly even if they don't have anything available immediately?

I love my current job, but it has gotten so slow to the point where I have to call in everyday, its getting very frustrating.

 

[iheartboost]

I love like my job, although I would like to get paid more. Too bad the economy is terrible, especially inLA

 

[jthagreat]

i need a career, that starts out makin more than i do now. thats all...

 

[ruxxx]

I always find that when I approach people face to face regarding work,I get the "go online and blah blah blah blah blah" crap and nothing evermaterializes from me doing so.I'd recommend both methods (face to face and online) and just hope for the best!

ehh..i pretty much got it made where im at..but i want something with better hours..but a combination of no other jobs that i want being out here...me havingto detox for a drug test..plus im making a ton of money where im at equals me not trying that hard to look for another job

 

[queencitysneakerqueen]

I've been at my job for a couple years and I feel like I need a change

 

[Mister Meaner]

I need a raise

I'm kind of screwed right now being the most experienced person at my position right now. I'm stuck closing the store every damn day that I work.Usually, the person with most seniority gets the opening shift, or choose whichever you like.

As most experienced, a lot of !%$! falls on my shoulders. I should be getting paid at least double what my counterparts are getting.

All in all, I just need to be paid appropriately, more money & more than the others around me.

I always get the go online crap.

He's right though you just have to do both and hope for the best.

Also try to get help from any contacts you may have

Yeah I am quitting my job in June. I get payed so good so it will hurt. I just have to buckle down and finish my last year of school or so. I'm gonna haveanxiety though, I have always worked full-time so having free time after school is gonna be a trip. I need the change though

 

[senatorjeffsmith]

Just bide your time until something better comes along. Use your time to learn any new skills you think would be marketable.

[dacityslanga]

[diceloveme]

ugh, they laid me off and brought me back as a temp!

 

[eaalto]
