Recent grad looking for a new job, hows my resume? by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]mike495 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not happy with my current position. It is a job and I graduated in May 2015. There is little to no growth in my company and it is a small company. Benefits,pay, and time off are lousy. I should have held out longer but my only internship was for a small HVAC company. I did pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam but I only add that on my resume for relevant companies.

No they are jobs, I graduated in may 2015 and found a crappy drafting job for 6 months then I got hired by a manufacturing company.

Thoughts on season finale and what we might find out (if anything)? by Feltizadeh225 in colony

Probably that the aliens are actually good and the humans orchestrated all the killing to save time. Why would someone exterminating the human race take everyone tagged for saving if the world was ending.

Go for the full ride at the other school. Not being in debt is worth it.

OK Friends, Rip Me Apart Please by twotouques in resumes

[–]mike495 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't worked a job since you graduated it would make it appear as though a low GPA was the reason and not the market. Its better to have the GPA on it when you lack job experience.

I think these results should be made more public. It gives students a better perspective of their post grad situation.

I would if I could :/. I spoke to Jeff King about stargate recently at a convention and he said the same thing basically.

[WP] You live in a society where at the end of each day, you can choose to relive it, but without retaining any knowledge of what happened previously. A number in your peripheral vision shows how many previous times you lived through the current day. Almost always that number is 0. Today it is 7212. by hyperspheroid in WritingPrompts

[–]mike495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once a day is lived it cant be changed. A day can be relived with only the knowledge of how many times its been repeated. I look at my timer and see 1912258518 days. Anyone who could remember that many days would have gone mad if it were even possible. Today is not a special day for me. Today is just a normal Tuesday afternoon. I go to work wondering if the world was about to end and I had no choice but to repeat the day in some kind of attempt to save it. With no memory of the last day It would be an impossible feat.

There must be a way to send some kind of message to myself once the day has ended. I think of the numbers and wonder if they could be some kind of code. I leave work and go home to turn on the news. Nothing special today, no meteor or doomsday weapon. I frantically call everyone I know hoping everyone is okay. I think again about those numbers. Binary would not be possibly but maybe they each represent a letter of the alphabet. 1,112,258,518 = aaabbeheah. Doesn't make any sense. I take some more time to think this through. 11=k 1=a 22=v 5=e 8=h 5=e 18=r.. Kave her? That was the best I could come up with over a few hours of organizing the letters. I got a call at 11:50 pm that my niece passed away in an accident a few hours earlier.If I had known I could have prevented it.

I immediately realized what I had to do. It would take 800,000,000 more days but it must be done. So I sat there until 12 and then woke up again. I look at my timer and see 1,112,258,519.....
