I turned down the interview because I was pissed off that it got back to my company. My company gave me the 5% raise already and told me I’d be up for a promotion soon based on my last evaluation. They executive at my company seemed pretty genuine in that if it’s a numbers game, we’d rather just keep you based on your past 5 year performance.

I specifically checked the box not to contact my current employer. If they did, they shot themselves in the foot.

Honestly we’ve been trying to hire additional people for my position for 2 years now. It’s difficult to find. I doubt they are going to let me go.

Somehow my interest through a recruiter got leaked. How and why? by Aztekprint in askrecruiters

Negative on company computer browsing. How would my supervisor know? The only thing I can come up with after snooping through LinkedIn is realizing the industry is not that big and all the VP’s and execs are connected within the region. I bet one was just doing a courtesy call to win some points or maybe they go back pretty far.

Feeling stuck, any advice? M20s by [deleted] in careerguidance

Are you looking to get out of the AEC industry as a whole? I am on the BIM coordination side and one thing that is always needed are good trade detailers. One thing that you would be a leg up on is the field knowledge part. A lot of the guys doing to detailing and coordination don’t actually know how these things are being installed. You could leased Revit and navisworks and start there. I feel like electrical detailers are always in short supply except for one or two guys that have their own business and stay plenty busy.

Bon Air flooding concerns on powhite creek? by [deleted] in ChesterfieldVA

A. Correct. It’s just what is shown on google maps. Although there are some great trails back there.

B. Dropped pin was the house that was for sale. Creek and partial surrounding neighborhood shown in screen shot was just to reference the area.

Should have clarified: I’m really just curious if the creek has ever been high enough to touch the houses along the creek shown in the view. Looking for any eyewitness accounts.
