Hey gr8-1!!!! Are you going to play in the fantasy baseball league you got us all to join?????????? That would be nice.
OK, when I was in juco, Disney sent representatives to our college. They were pretty up front about the pay, I think it was 6 bucks an hour. But, they also used the "exclusivity or selectivity" slant. They only hired 10% of those interviewed, when in actuality they mean 10% of those in the room because 80% walked out. The reason Disney wanted us was to have college kids rather than high school kids be cashiers, vendors, and janitors with opportunities for "advancement. In hindsight, I'm glad my buddy talked me out of it. At UT, these guys passed around these "would you like to make 3K a month over the summer" fliers. I was interested. Turned out, I was gonna be selling encyclopedias in North Carolina, lol. His beginning spiel was "good experience, training starts here, you could make 5K a month if you work hard." It then becomes we're "very selective. Of the 20 of you in the room, only 3 will be hired." That was true. Through the 45 minute seminar, 17 of us walked out. When I head to Houston, I will talk to the agency guy first. I don't have to start with Enterprise; my other options are retail stores like Bed Bath and Beyond and such. I appreciate the advice guys. Clutch citians look out for our own. But, my friend worked for Enterprise, and she said it did pay well, but it was hard work. I'm gonna consider it, if for no other reason, to have some experience. I can't be a waiter all of my life. Thanks Lynus and Vengeance for your thoughtful and helpful responses.
Keeping a schedule and priorities in order is a must in the business world. Apparently Mr. gr8-1 does not have this ability. What a loser. Oh, gr8-1, seriously speaking... take what recruiters tell you with a grain... nay... a big ass dump truck load of salt. They'll say just about anything to get you to work for the company they're trying to hire you into. This is so they get paid. Recruiters are the last people on earth you should trust... right down there with lawyers and used car salesmen. Now pardon me while I run for my life while the resident lawyers and used car salesmen commence to hunting me down.
WEll, wanna give me some psuedo-grandfatherly advice? Should I even show up for the interview? I know it won't be a great great job, but a young man with a questionable work ethic isn't inclined to have tons of job offers in this climate.
Speaking as a former recruiter, you're clueless. It's a two way street when it comes to recruiting. You want the candidate and the company to be 100% in the know on all issues between the parties, that way everyone is happy in the end and you(the recruiter) get repeat business from the company and possibly referral candidates in the future from your placements. Simply filling an open position with a warm body is what those fly-by-night startup recruitment companies may do, but not a real recruiter.
