So I had an interview yesterday with this newspaper and magazine distribution company and I got the job. The job was to be a part of their IT department doing a little bit of everything: help desk, desktop support, new roll-outs, system implementation, and system admin. The cool thing is they are pretty laid back and there's not a lot of red tape since its a privately owned company.

Shirt and slacks. Laid back in the sense people will not constantly be over my shoulder making sure I do whatever.

Welcome to the workforce.

I wear my Battle Dress Uniform in front of my Govt Issue Dell workstation.

The best jobs are the ones where you get to do a little bit of everything. It's never a "daily grind" feeling and you have more leverage for raises since you do so much.

<-- jealous of get-to-do-everything-on-the-job people.

Congratulations you lucky bastard. :p

I think I'm the only one in this world NEVER going to get a job. I suck.

Hah! I suck worse! Even the fast food places turned me down...

No, I'll never get another job again either.
:eek:


But congrats to you! Now go out there and spend beyond your means!

Thanks to everyone who offered congrats.

I honestly hate the fact retail stores and fast food joints look down on a college degree. Thinking how long is he/she going to stay and it would be a waste to train them. If they honestly took a look at the job market it could be in their best interest to hire a college grad.

One would think that they are a little more mature and less troublesome than someone in high school. Have you tried applying to Home Depot? I do know for a fact they prefer college grads. Personally I was going to apply if nothing came out of my interview.

Congrats Storm, I just landed a somewhat similar job lately, working at a small independant newspaper doing all of their computer stuff, network admin, sysadmin, programming, desktop stuff, etc. It's nice to not work for a huge corporation who doesn't give a crap about you. :)
