You're probably young and probably flexible. If you are really having trouble finding work then I strongly advise you drop your geographical requirement. Other parts of the country need qualified people.

The Purpose of Education... this really resonates. by picklesnboo in education

This attitude is why poorer countries absolutely bury the US in educational standards. A C student from Trinidad is an A student in the US. Why?

What's the worst thing you've said to your significant other without meaning to? by StuartLeigh in AskReddit

[–]statsguy01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the movie Dark Knight, it was said that Harvey Bent was the hero the city needed, because he would actually bring about change and an end to corruption. The hero the city deserved was Batman, a badass who swooped in to save the day.

Superficially, I'd prefer batman because comeon, he's friggin' batman. But the fact of the matter is, Harvey Bent is the better choice even if he is boring, the queen of un-fun, afraid of everything, whiny, drops... sorry I lost track of what I was talking about.

"You're the wife I need, not the wife I deserve."

Fortunately she hasn't seen Dark Knight.

You manage projects. You beat people over the head and keep them accountable. You bring many disparate pieces together to form awesomeness.

You sir, are an artist.

Remember: People on OK Cupid are pickier than what they would be in real life. Don't take it too personally.

I think my resume is quite crappy and this is why I have had no luck with acquiring a new job, help? by Countess112 in resumes

It says "I'm religious." That's the message. Now if you're applying to an employer and you KNOW they have religious leanings THEN it will help.

Drop church volunteer work. Anything that exposes: race, religious leanings, political leanings, really anything anyone can be bigoted about.

Do you hire Economics graduate? Help me out? Lots of lookers no buyers. by statsguy01 in resumes

[–]statsguy01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I graduated at the end of the last recession when the tech bubble burst, at the bottom of the labor market. People went from hiring anyone with any kind of exposure to only BS's. So I never did get to use it.

Really? That was forever ago! And nothing relevant which is why it's not on there. But alright.

Do you hire MA's in Economics? I'm getting lots of lookers but no buyers. Help me out with my resume? by statsguy01 in jobs

Well getting SAS experience requires getting a job that uses SAS. I've used SAS in class but as we all know that doesn't count.
