Is what kind of jobs and where jobs are at part of your analysis? I don't need you to do anything specific, just some help/pointers, because I've tried a lot of things.

No, not really. Much of what i do is internal. For example, if a dept head wants a position to do something, he discusses it with my unit. we then start the process of figuring out why the position is needed, what type of job will fit that requirement---new or existing job or job title, the organizational chart of the unit, the responsibilities of that position, its full time equivalency, its exempt or non-exempt status, its pay grade, its job code, its minimum hiring standard, its pay, etc.

There is a lot that goes into this. We have to do this so that we can avoid unnecessary legal challenges, that are almost always out there. Only after we are done with this, do we then decide if the position should be posted or if an internal candidate is a better fit or not. So, I generally have to stay abreast with the legal challenges out there.

For example, recently the President, two weeks ago, signed a bill approving litigation of pay after the fact---called the Ledbetter amendement to the Equal Pay Act. We are about to ratchet up our due diligence on our analysis as we expect litigation to start flying at us pretty soon.

Tampa:

Be a good lawyer when you are done. I always sweat in utter anxiety when I have to testify for a case during discovery. It ain't a nice feeling because my words can be used against the institution I work for. This is where I choose my words very carefully. Mastery of words and their implications can throw off a lawyer. Thats why they try to get you with their yes or no response. So, I always use words that can mean 10 things in the same context, and with synonymous semantics, and syntax.

Nope. I am in the same boat as you. Highschool sucked.

Good work ethics, and hard work can get you a decent job with good pay.

Yup. I'm 23 and the number 2 person of a store. I think that's pretty good for strictly work experience and common sense.

Yeah, I got expelled from High school 4 times, and I ended up graduating, barely, and I went to college, and I got a job with the government.

I now own my own business Brand Aid Design, I work on websites and print jobs for various clients, and also still have my day job, so it gets really hectic at times, if I'm gone for a few days, rest assured I'm working my *** off trying to meet deadlines etc.

I was too busy getting college girls in high school Lol. Plus I hated the way high schools were set up(and still are). The object of high school isen't to teach it is for people to comply. You could pass every test, Know the subject inside out. But if you don't don't do you homework then you fail.

Plus I still don't understand how running a mile is needed to complete your education process. Specially when the health teacher is 350lbs and eats fried chicken when her students run the mile.

To me there wasen't any option but a GED. High school was just too bogus.

LOL... you feel inadequate?? We're not in the locker room bro. So don't feel that way.

I left highschool and started working right away. Had a single parent that needed help.

And I'm not a "headhunter" I'm a "Talent Acquisition Specialist"
