  • didn't know it was so hard to hire on someone

    Well, I have been at this position for about 6 months and am looking for some help. I went to the college I graduated from and attempted to get some recent graduates that are looking for a job. Found a few, but they either don't want the job or I cannot get in touch with them.
    The perks of the job:
    GREAT benefits (after 90 days)
    401k that they contribute 20% into (up to a max of 8% of your total income or something like that)
    Decent pay
    Chance to move up with a great company that is showing no sign of slowing down (actually gained alot of business due to competitors dropping out)
    An excellent step into the door of the design field handling all 4 major CAD packages plus some obscure ones
    get on fv6.com while at work :D
    the list goes on
    Cons
    you have to work at least 50 hrs a week (but usually 55 to 60)
    I work 10 to 12 hrs a day and 5 to 6 on Saturday
    high stress level
    deal with people being obstinate and annoying and still maintain your cool
    Work efficiently and fast when the workload is high
    thats really all the cons I can think of, yet I cannot get people to hire on!
    I don't know if it's laziness and scared of work or what!
    I know when I just finished college and wasn't in my field I was pulling my hair out. And how hard is it to have an updated resume??!!
    Well, if any of you on here have a degree leaning towards mechanical engineering and live int he detroit area post up or send me a resume cuz I am back to the drawing board with more resumes
    seriously
    I didnt know it would be such a pain
    I thought for sure people would jump at the oppurtunity to get into an entry level position requiring no experience
    ah well
    maybe their hopes are set a little high

    Still got 2 years before getting the degree but my plan is to be up in Detroit after I graduate. Well actually in the Flint area, planning on going to graduate school at Kettering University, that is if I can get in but hopefully. If not then maybe U of M but I guess we will just have to see.

      that’s crazy. Im working on my maters in mech. engineering and the guys that just finished their BSME's here are begging for jobs. But I guess those kinds of jobs are more scarce around here. anyway good luck.

          I'm assuming this is an engineering job? I just found my first engineering job myself and in my area, there seems to be a decent amount of job openings. I had like 3-4 companies after me before i accepted the position i did. so eastern pa apperently has a lack of M.E.'s.. If htey want contract work, those jobs seem to be a dime a dozen in my area. It all depends though. It seems that the jobs are availible but the pay rate isnt that good right now... youd think that if people were in demand, the going rate would go up..

            ya, when I was in school it seemed people were willing to work for anything, I know I was ready to take a drafting job for like 8 an hour :eek:
            glad I waited :D
            Going to a career fair on the 11th, hopefully i can shake something up

                        I'm sure the 55-60 hours part makes some people shy away. I'm a mechanical engineering co-op right now with a company out here, and I know people here wouldnt turn down a job if the number was right.

                        What's the pay scale? I have about a year and a half left in Mech Eng at Va Tech, hmm...

                          its not an insane amount of money (about 40 to 45k is what I will make this year before taxes)
                          but it's the experience that is worth much more
                          I can legitimately put down on my resume
                          CATIA v5 r14
                          Unigraphics NX 3
                          ProEngineer Wildfire 2
                          SDRC/I-DEAS v11
                          SolidWorks 2005 (and updating to 2006 shortly)
                          Mech Desk 6
                          and a few exchange programs
                          This is, I have been here 6 months, and am looking at moving up to tool design already
                          Even if I dont stay here the resume experience is going to be great
                          I just cant believe everyone is gonna be scared of 55 hrs
                          its not that bad IMO
                          I work till 5:30 or 6:00pm during the week which still leaves me 4 hrs a day to do whatever I need done before I crash out for the night and on saturday I only work till noon, which leaves basically the whole day and all day sunday free.
