the official job hunting thread

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

i dont think i seen a thread for this on here yet i know i can't be the only person on here lookin for full time work/unemployed. and its gotta be better ways than monster/indeed or the classifieds, so since we're all in the same boat why not help each other out??? any company hirings, resume/cover letter and interview tips, etc. drop em all here

1. write a new cover letter for each position you apply for
2. research the company
3. look up some standard behavioral interview questions and think of some answers you want to use
4. Decide what you want to say about yourself in the interview and flip the questions they ask into those answers. Sort of like how politicians answer questions.

I only know about department stores/grocery stores that are hiring...

A bunch of Costcos are being built in the Illinois area and are accepting job applications online now:

Costco.com: Our business is growing. Come join our team.

Mariano's Fresh Market is hiring:

Been at this for some time and the things I have learned are:

1.) go into the search everyday with a clear mind
2.) log all the jobs applied
3.) save each and every cover letter (potential employers like when you bring in the cover letter to an interview)
4.) have multiple types of resumes (for example, I have a resume for each of the areas of expertise I have- Risk, Banking, Credit, Banking & Credit, Govt, Accounts Receivable, etc.)
5.) Follow up with any leads
6.) If you have an interview of some type (face to face, phone), always send/mail a thank you note/email
7.) Most important- may be embarrassing but fukk it and tell people/ colleagues/ friends/ family you are looking for a job
8.) Keep that credit report in check

There are more, can't remember. Good luck.

For these I feel it's best to walk into the store with a resume and cover letter and a tucked in shirt. You'll probably be working the next day.
