Title: Testing the Job Market
Post by: JesseVader08 on July 31, 2009, 01:21 AM: Today was a big day for me - I told my boss to take this job and shove it. I know some people are fighting to find jobs, but I decided I was going to take a chance and get out of a very bad working environment. Wish me luck! :D

Post by: JediMoses on July 31, 2009, 09:31 PM: That takes some guts. Good luck. But people are still getting jobs and hiring, so there are opps.

Post by: Ben on July 31, 2009, 09:42 PM: Good luck. My company is looking at more layoffs, so I'm considering getting out of there myself.

Post by: Nicklab on August 1, 2009, 12:12 AM: Not right now. I've been scanning the job market in my industry, but not a whole lot of companies are hiring. I go by a tried and true axion: it's always easier to find a job when you have a job.

I've done it before but I don't know if I'd do it now with the way things are going.

Out of curiosity, what business are you in?

So very true. I'm definitely going against my usual plan this time.

I'm a pharmacist. Fortunately for me, it's an area that's actually growing still - I guess there will always be sick people, right?

Post by: Greg on August 1, 2009, 11:47 AM: I gotta say, that's quite the bold step in a recession. In any case, I wish you the best of luck in getting a job that better suits your needs. (And hopefully you get one in a timely manner as well)

Oh, yeah. You're probably going to step right into a new job somewhere if you want. Between local and chain pharmacies and hospitals, I'm sure you'll find something.
