Jan. 19th, 2003 09:13 pmAnyone have a significant amount of experience with any of the various online job and career services?
I'm checking several of them, just to have the best chance to pick up any openings out there which might fit the scattered stuff i can do with any degree of confidence. They want the same general overly general crap- level of education, fields in which you have interest and/or experience, areas where you'd work, and so on.
So i jump through the hoops, and get lots of returns which are pretty useless- they're either things for which i don't qualify, things which aren't of the slightest interest, places who want a test lead with 3-5 years experience but only want to pay $12K/year, "work at home" multi-level crap and similar bullshit.
Today, though, they had some opportunities which were too unbelievable to pass up. First of all, they weren't in the state of Washington at all, but were in the suburbs of "the other Washington-" more specifically Langley, Virginia. Second, they weren't the typical test engineer/IT/tech writer stuff I usually look at. Nope, boys and girls, today, in my listing of positions which this service thought would be of interest were thirty postings from The Central Intelligence Agency.
Yes, you read that correctly. The CIA. I had to actually send in a resume for a few of them just for shits and giggles.
The way my luck has gone of late, i'll get one call back from all the positions for which i've applied, and it'll be one of those.
