general employment and jobs thread

Figure this could be a place holder for various employment discussions -  for those in the market, testing the waters, looking to hire, or whatever..

iHeart IT seems to have a lot of turnover. I went through the interview process to run their security program with them a few years ago and decided to turn down their offer. The management style felt like a bad fit and I knew a few people there that gave me a heads up about the place. The guy that ended up with the job quit after a year.

That's all I got.

I'm always looking for someone who is interested in learning the roofing & general home repair business.

 

I've had some Shaggers send their kids & other people they know, but this work isn't for everyone.  Outdoors activity all day long, must be confident on ladders & recognize that the work is somewhat irregular.

 

I'm based in Dripping Springs but we work where the jobs take us; 90% are South Austin out to Drip, however we'll take on local jobs up to a 2 hour drive from here if the project is right.

File under: I am regretting taking this job.

10+ years (I’m in my early 40s, this is a second career)in project controls as a project planner in the oil and gas industry. The vast majority of that is on the engineering consultant side. I recently jumped to the owner side as a contract employee. Love the pay, hating the job/project. Currently in Houston but would consider Austin and San Antonio. Besides the right pay, my only sticking point is at least a 9/80 schedule (which seems like most of the industry does).

I miss green field jobs. I guess I don’t mind portfolio type work if there are processes and place and people try to follow them.

We're always looking to add higher level Loan Officers (ownership, profit sharing opps available) at Prodigy Mortgage.

As far as REI Home Realty we're always open for new people, especially in Dallas and San Antonio and Houston to an extent.

IHeartMedia, the biggest U.S. radio-station owner, is filing for bankruptcy.IHeartMedia Inc., the biggest U.S. radio-station owner, filed for bankruptcy with a plan to halve its debt load of more than $20 billion, the legacy of a leveraged buyout that hobbled the company as the digital era spawned new rivals

Knew a very senior level executive who left right before they declared bankruptcy for a mid-level role at Amazon. I think that says it all about the stability of the company.
