Nobody is Hiring Right Now
Posted by HomeBiz on 08/22/08 in Education
I guess I’m just a product of the times, but I, like many others out there recently got downsized right out of my job. I liked what I was doing, but absolutely nobody is hiring. And that means my information technology security training and background as a CISSP and with certified ethical hacker training might be going to waste. My resume is out there, but I have also been exploring other possibilities.
I really would like to put my IT and computer expertise to work, but lately I have found myself applying for employment at places I never thought I would have applied at in a million years. If anybody would have told me a year ago that I would have been applying at a Home Depot, I would have laughed in their face. And if they would have told me that Home Depot wouldn’t even give me a call back regarding that application, I would have laughed even harder. Well, that’s exactly what has happened.
And it’s not just Home Depot that is not calling me back. I can not believe how many applications I have out there right now. Honestly, I have applied at Lowe’s, Safeway, Albertson’s, Fry’s, Wal-Mart, Target, Sam’s Wholesale, Costco, True Value, and several other places. Hopefully it won’t come down to delivering pizzas or asking people if they want to supersize their value meal for a dollar more!
