It doesn't allow rounding so it'll error out if you force it to be rounded.

Never had a boiled peanut that didn't disgust me....but the only place I've "ordered" them was a gas station. Definitely interested to try real ones, but I don't have high expectations.

Exactly. FUCK

Gcon is definitely a star in and above its price range

I appreciate your direct advice Sean. I sincerely despise sugar coated bullshit, and I guess I am just a guy with champagne tastes and Old Milwaukees Best for a budget.I am trying to change and its simple shit like this that helps out man.JI used to be in your shoes. Best thing you can do is go after the champagne budget, figure that out and the rest is easy.That's what I am doing. I am working my ass off for the next step, and trying to show them that I am worth so much more than I am being paid at the moment. Considering the company I work directly for is a Fortune 500 company I think I can prove it. J You have to make hay if the goal is a harvest. Hours AND time management are key. If you are not familiar with time management techniques you need to be.

Stefan, if you really want a job and one with serious upward mobility utilizing your pc savvy will work out even better.

Never. Salary requirements get someone thrown out, not experience or education unless again it is a very rudimentary roleTo expand on that, many times we would hire new grads for jobs below their education. Guys with masters doing basic shit. They were Fucking hungry and usually prompt, and if they moved on, they give notice and it's easy to find someone else. Maybe a guy who used to run an entire lab would have some trouble finding a job scrubbing beekers, but they just don't throw the resume out. My father in law got the "overqualified" line a lot. And it was because his resume and comments in an interview made him sound set in his ways, because he is. He changed his resume and his attitude and nailed a job ASAP. You also have to realize that the whole purpose of having a job at a big company is to train your replacement so you can move up. Pretty obvious hiring someone qualified to do that would help.

This applies to pretty much any company hiring for any position. That's why I withhold my education when applying for McD's, Wally World, etc. That makes no sense either. Put it in context and give them a reason to hire you and you will get the job. It is really that simple This does not work for McD's, Wally World, or Pizza Hut applications. There are a few others that I can't remember at the moment. Education, work history, references, criminal history, questionnaire. They don't ask for, and do not provide a space for, skills, goals, experiences, awards, or projects. These really aren't "entry level" jobs, they're just minimum wage shit jobs. Now, if the application does have space for skills, experiences, goals, etc., then yeah I'm going to tell them my education and how I can be beneficial to their business. Number one way to fail in any application is to just fill out a form, that isn't even applying IMO. For a real job, something you can start/make a career out of, you are right. For the minimum wage shit jobs, an application form is plenty. If you define a real job as something you want to get, then I am right. Application forms are just to package information and it usually isn't the information you want to package. I sure the fuck didn't get my bartending job in college with an application.

Re-ask the question differently, you'll get the right answer. http://www.cen-online.org/articles/91/i7/Getting-Help-Getting-Hired.html I'm not saying that sole article represents the entire field, but from all the other articles I've read online and from the people I've talked to with PhDs in chemistry they agree, so that's why I have this point of view. Sounds like some of the nutritional articles you've cited. There will always be someone citing one thing or the other. Real world experience tells differently. Currently it is hard as fucking hell to find anyone technical that is worth a shit. I know a lot of companies with open hiring rec's and they take months to fill. On average more than 6. This includes chemists.Have you hired chemists, or can you talk to those in companies that you work with that do hire chemists, and ask them? Because I'm honestly curious as to what they would say to the question.I work a ton with 3M. Their comment to me is they are always having a hard time finding good PhD's. Same with Paddock Pharma here in Minny. Paddock was recently bought though so my connection to the owner is no longer real. Dow also told me the exact same thing. We have an open project with Dow to improve the NVH characteristics of their bonding glue's...only they can't find people to work on it.

Well i had one and been needing an oscilliscope to do some testing on my own and since i bought one i figured i would do some testing to show there are better options than the dd-1 at an even better price.When I typed that I didn't even realize you owned it. Sorry you got shenaniganned into buying one. Pretty much doubt you needed an oscilloscope though either...

If you are referring to jobs where they want a lab rat to mix chemicals for $25k/yr starting working up to $40k/yr 20 years later then yes I can see the point. Pretty much guarantee you aren't talking about taking that sort of job regardless of whether you even get a college degree. And it isn't because of the pay, but the responsibility.

You're missing my point entirely. There are people with PhDs in chemistry who apply for jobs that require a BS or masters because they can't find anything else and they're willing to do the work, and companies won't hire them because they're "overqualified." It's not about chemists not willing to work a "lower" job, it's about companies not willing to give them the chance because they believe the chemist will leave with the next opportunity. That's all my point ever was: PhD in (bio)chemistry reduces some job opportunities. And I'm talking about jobs in the chemistry field, not outside it. Your experience is jaded with misinformation. I will tell you this, a ton of PhD's get looked over these days because they aren't native. That is the single handedly largest reason why a PhD doesn't get considered.

They don't know how to write a resume. And if they feel that it hurts them then simply apply with only the masters listed.That's what I do, tailor the resume for the job. "High school diploma or GED"? No sir, never been to college! "Bachelor's degree in a related field"? Yes sir, I've been to college!I'm presuming they would look further into one's credentials if they're left on the list, and would likely find out the other degrees weren't listed, but I could be wrong. :shrugs:They don't look into it until they are absolutely interested in hiring, and at that point they won't just cast the applicant asside because they will assume the guy wants the job. However an HR rep who overlooks someone with a higher degree is an idiot. Resume matters more. It still falls back to being overqualified--regardless of resume.Brainwashed in the wrong way. The only difference between a PhD and a Masters is 2 years of work experience. Hell regularly the work experience is more useful. If you think you are high and holy with a lowly PhD well then yes, you aren't getting a fucking job. Has NOTHING to do with being overqualifed, that is fucking laughable. I'd take work experience success over education ANY day of the week on my team. Although that being said, I have three PhD's and three Masters working for me as sales guys.

Fuckin crazy man. Why?They suspect the person won't be happy in the position since they're over qualified, and they'll leave once another job opens up. That's the jist.That is bullshit. NO ONE stays at an entry level job for more than three years. What does education have to do with that?
