So I decide to do something myself, because the uncertainty is killing me. I surf monster, and find this job. I check out the Hometown and think that this looks like a nice, quiet little town. Now I am in that horrible "hodling pattern". I have not heard back about my application and resume, and have called to see if they have received it via email. Of course I get voicemail. HR NEVER answers the phone when they have a job opening. Can't say I blame them either. I think I am very qualified, and I am hoping there are not a lot of people interested in moving there, but I am not sure. I AM JUST GOING NUTS HERE! |
Thank God for spell checker. |

Odd thing is, they are laying off civilians AND not handing out many contracts. Currently, 70% of the Army is deployed in over 120 international locations, so I am wondering if that is not eating up a lot of funds. |

Some of our divisions have already had to bid on the work they already do against private firms. I've found in most instances around here that private companies do a lousey job. It's not totally their fault. It's the nature of government work. They get a contract to do something within a specified amount of time. Then the specs change and they have to start over again. By the time their contract expires the project they agreed to do looks almost nothing like what they contracted for. Of course I've seen the same thing in private industry. But, they can manage it a little better simply because of the size differences. Fewer cooks with their hands in the pot. |
