A lot of yelpers are looking for work. Do tell....what kind of employment are you seeking?

Perhaps a fellow yelper can help you out....

cuz we know there's more than one kind of hookup here

I'm currently employed but I'm giving it like 3 more months.

Project Management, SEM if I have to, training (ha! like anyone is hiring for that)

what is SEM?

1) Project Management - Construction
2) Gigolo

LVN, retail maybe

are you an LVN Kevin?

Hi Kevo!

RN, but ideally in L&D

Search Engine Marketing. It's what I currently do but I don't think I would do it again unless I was in the right situation. Like in house or a reasonably sized internet marketing firm.

I really like the Project Management/Minor Web Dev part of my job better.

Graphic Design- shouldn't be hard, though; there are hardly ANY designers in the bay area.

corporate retail store operations or, since every retail person in the world is looking after the Macys and WS layoffs, I would be happy with a decent paying office manager or admin position as we work through this crap economy. Staying at home is driving me crazy.

Hi Gwynnie! Hire me as your Personal Assistant!

I'm gonna check back in with you kids later...some of these abbreviations are making me curious:)

Kevo, you are at least assured of a job as my personal fried chicken fryer....have your peeps cawl mine

I wonder if Powell's is hiring...

I just want something part time while going to school. Coffee shop, retail maybe. But it seems like no one is hiring :(

Welcome to March 2008 Mister J yelp.com/biz/powells-sou…

Something part-time in the afternoon or evening after 2:00 p.m. Can work probably 3 days a week. Retail is fine. Any leads would be awesome.

Gwynnie, great thread!

Suntan lotion technician at a tropical beach...

One full time job is already kicking my ass.

gwynnie p. says:

are you an LVN Kevin?

---------------------------------

Yes I am until I pass the licensure test for RN. I'm currently enrolled in a review course at Kaplan so it will be a little while. I'll do retail if it isn't all crappy work. I don't really care about the pay and will do minimum wage as long as it's a nice environment. I'm excellent at grunt work.

Ah yes and I forgot I am only looking in the tri-valley area: Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon general area. Otherwise I would probably be employed :)

Get your money back.  Kaplan was the worst review course ever.  It doesn't teach you anything.  Speaking of which I will review it!

Blow.

Actually, we're swamped and hiring.  If only Kevo was a lawyer, I'd hire him on the spot.

Ben, I'm sure you can easily find some eager unemployed lawyers these days.

Lately to be a PM in construction, you practically have to be a lawyer especially in public works. Hire me as a consultant!

--------------------------------------------

The money doesn't matter. It's passing! There isn't any other legitimate review source other than self study. I hate books so I won't read text books by myself. I failed the test once already so anything that could help that doesn't require thick books, I'll do it. Also they have a question bank and question trainers that are helpful. They're very similar with what I have seen on the test. I agree though that the lectures are somewhat a waste though.

B.K., I am awash in unqualified lawyers.  Kevo is uniquely qualified, if only....*sigh* if only.

Well good luck Kevin!  I take the NCLEX on the 11th.  I'm scared.  But I still think Kaplan was crap.  Saunders is much better.  All my friends have passed so far and they just do question after question till they are blue in the face.  I hope that helps.

Ben, I hear you.

I you pay me the big bucks, I will write useful, funny, and cool reviews.

contract-based event planning, production, and/or management.....or FOH restaurant work???  anyone?

How about contract-based killing?  I could maybe use that....

There are several retailers hiring in Marin County. I work in the Town Center and know that REI is always hiring.

If I could get any job, I would have a TV show where I traveled and ate/drank on the company's dime.

Oh wait, do I have to be a famous chef to have this job?

*sad face*

I've been meaning to PM you about this cuz it's time... I need you.

huh, that's interesting Sharon because every time I shop at the Marina Safeway the receipt says "we're hiring"...so....what, REI and Safeway are the ONLY retailers hiring?!

walmart does

i love rei

Anything that pays great to do nothing.

Unix system administrator, preferably with a development team, preferably in San Francisco.

Thanks, Lance.

Pretty much. Almost all of REI's employee's are part time, so keep that in mind.

Pet Food Express and the Container Store was hiring.

yeah, REI does the Walmart thing, they don't want any full time workers so they don't have to pay bennies. That's a Co-op this old hippie can't get behind.

A research job in the biotechnology industry.  Good luck with that...

All you people who are looking for jobs.....what's special about YOU??? What do you bring to the party that nobody else does?

Carpenter / Superhero.

Not a lot of carpentry happening these days and being a Superhero don't pay.

Small technology company, preferbaly software.  Loaded with extremely focused, driven and fun people that are intent on creating toolset based web based applications and solutions that actually solve real world problems in vertical markets.

Lance.....if I had a hammer.....

People need to try International Relocation, we are always in demand. I got my luck break in this field by having real estate and customer service background. Also I took accounting in college.

one where i sit on my ass and people tell me I look pretty all day long- Oh I already have a job like that- lol

Any artists looking for a job in video game development, send me a PM..

My wife is unemployed. Paralegal with 22 years experience.

@ Irma, how do people pursue jobs in International Relocation?

@Dennis, thank you, hope you get some PMs

@John.....is she good? is there a particular type of law she specializes in?

Le sigh:

news.yahoo.com/s/afp/200…

I will be unemployed as of next Friday. I'm looking for a position as a Facilities coordinator/admin. in the Pleasanton/Livermore area. I know.. good luck :-)

Abby, sell yourself! why are you the best facilities coordinator in the tri valley area? A prospective employer could be lurking, ya never know (much much stranger things have happened on teh yelp)

Gregor if you get that job I can live with you b/c it comes w/a 3 bedroom home. May I bring hubby?

A blow************&^%

It's a deal, Gwynners.

I got into International Relocation by accident, I came in on an entry level but I had a few years of real estate and customer service experience. I also took accounting in college which helped a lot. I took a chance on Monster.com and responded to ad by Ernst & Young. It's been great ever since, the pay just keeps getting better. I would recommend looking at some relo companies such as Cartus, Primacy and even top 4 accounting firms. You might have to be willing to relocate as I did.

John: maybe your wife can apply at an immigration attorney's office. We use Fragomen but I am sure there are others.

Also, there are several job postings at linkedin.com, I know most of the postings are out of state.

I take pics for a few upstart companies and guide them how to compete against their competitors. I'm on contract with a bio firm now. But always looking for other upstart.

I also have an idea for a website that will kick ass, but don't know who to partner with yet.

That's my dream job Gwynnie :-)

I currently do corporate security so I have a lot of experience identifying maintenance issues, contacting the proper contractor to repair them, and following up on the repairs. I enjoy helping people and making sure they have what they need to do their job, that can range from making sure the HV/AC units in their area are operating properly and they're comfortable to making sure the janitorial staff is cleaning the building properly. I also have a lot of experience creating access cards/badges, maintaining the database for them, as well as fingerprinting and photographing new employees. I know how to use most software, or can figure it out on my own quickly.

somewhere like cnet.  they deal with consumer electronics and advising...

Game artist

Yes she's good. A master's in Criminal science and Admin. She has experience in corperate, civil lit, trade mark and patent and estate planning. She types 120 wpm, knows just about every legal program on the market, and is experienced in E-filing on both sides ( she worked for the Federal Court for six months).

I am currently ble$$ed but I am not happy here :(

120 wpm John!? Wow.. I think my best is 80 WPM or around 60 when I'm not in a hurry.

one that requires me to rock all night...sleep all day!  lolol

Abby S. says:

120 wpm John!? Wow.. I think my best is 80 WPM or around 60 when I'm not in a hurry.

Yeah, I know...Warp speed typing. It's like the Gene Wilder character in Blazing Saddles. Her hands never seem to move, but pages appear on the screen.

John - did she work for a defense firm or plaintiffs?  Im a paralegal myself.  Not sure my firm is hiring at the moment, but with her experience she sounds like she would be great.

right now, anything that pays well. anyone hiring?

I agree Stanley :-) I'm not feeling particularly picky with unemployment looming.

Stanley, darling, what do you bring to the par-tay?

Ryan V. says:

********
see above...you need to PM that Dennis guy

already done. my response to this thread was a formality :p

What I bring to the party: I occasionally cook for my cow orkers. I've made them fried chicken... and they were my test subjects for the cupcake competition. Hmmmm... I've also brought in creme brule, meatloaf, chili, Portuguese bean soup, and a few more that escapes me right now.

Who wants to hire me?

I bring a sense of humor and after work drink plans..... oh, and hard work and an eclectic background for a "fresh perspective" or whatever they are calling it these days.

I play third base.

Good job Ry V.

Kevo, mayhap we need to send you to culinary school to finish you off so you can switch fields....i'm drooling right now thinking of your fried chicken....mmmm mmmm good.

any would be nice?

I would LOVE to go to finishing school! Gwynnie, will you throw me my Cotillion?

I currently work with homeless & runaway youth.  Does anyone know of any organizations or arts and education programs that promote positive youth development?

less work, more pay

QA - Silicon Implants (post procedure)

getting a job in SF is 10x harder than getting a job in NYC. i am floored by the qualification requirements for everything from non-profits to 3 yrs exceptional fine dining experience just to work the grill!

*writes kevo a check so he can go to finishing/culinary school in switzerland*

rrrrrrrrrrrip, there you go

don't think it got past me that you want to feel up fake titties Gur E.

Frankly, I expected better from you.

I have my cpr for healthcare providers good until May of this year, I have a LVN license in hand, will have RN license after I take the test, I am knowledgeable to some extent with cars (most particularly with Japanese cars), I am good with computers (can take them apart, rebuild, upgrade, network security ), I can pick up languages easily for short term durations (until I stop using it for a while, I used to know basic Korean, Japanese, French, Spanish, and Hungarian), I know how to use a bale machine and a pallet jack, I can do most grunt work (I can cable curl 150lbs, pull 210 lbs), I can look calm and maintain composure during stressful situations, I learn new skills somewhat easily, I'm good with my hands in general.

did anyone say "blow" yet?

sales
cooking
grocery

Yes Pickles, someone said blow....but nice to see you stranger! I miss you

I recieved my B.A. this past spring and still no job. I majored in television/radio and emphasized in writing for the internet (hehe). My ideal job is blogging on food, music, consumerism, etc  basically anything.
*****
Dear one, I am sure I am not the first to tell you this.....but if you want to blog about food, music, consumerism.....start doing it, do it well, and figure out how to get an audience. Ain't nobody stopping you on this one. You may not get paid, but there couldn't be a better resume and if you can figure out how to generate some revenue.
