Dont ever be sure of that in the "real world".
I found that one out the hard way.
Well considering this may be my first REAL job I am going to have a positive outlook about it . Don't discourage me by saying I am gonna get f*cked over. :roll:
He didn't say you will get fucked over, just that things aren't always as rosey as they may seem.

I busted my ass to stay with that company, although in retrospect that was a waste of my time.

I never said you were going to get fucked over. Just put your own interest first and look out for yourself and if you think someone is blowing sunshine up your ass, they probably are.

Looking back one of 2 things happened to RJ in that situation. Either he got blackballed by the project manager or our HR people were being lazy, incompetent, bastards (or both). I definitely don't think he got a fair shake in that situation because there is a certifiable moron from the project who is still with the company somehow.

Take heed kids, put your career first. Not saying don't be a team player but I am saying think big picture in terms of your career. Always think about your career so that you can get where you wanna be. No one else is thinking about what's best for your career, they're just trying to cover their own asses.

Although I am a bit sore from the whole situation from my previous job, I'm back 'home' near friends/family and my Job is much more rewarding now - in the end it worked out for the best

Well when I first got there I took two tests, one timed and one not timed. I then had two interviews with two different people. Those interviews went okay, but as I was going to have the third one, the secretary said that we may not allow you to interview because of your test scores. So they sent me home, and me working at Pace was over.
I ran in to a guy from ISAT there, he had 4 concentrations and had 2 theses. I think he got a masters in 4 years. If they were looking for people like that then I obviously wasn't qualified.
Still looking people, if you got any lucrative contacts let me know.

Seems to me it wasn't your qualifications it was your test scores.
What kind of tests were these?

When I was taking the MBTI seminar they said many private firms use this when look to hire people. Has anybody been subject to taking it as part of applying for a job?

One was a SAT type test. Had questions on word associations, shapes, if you buy this amount of something how much can you buy with another amount of money. They wanted you to answer 50 questions in 12 minutes. Other questions were about what set of numbers is different.
The other test was about Kwh and KW.

This Suuuuucks. My buddy has been looking for a job all summer he has finally decided to do clerical work starting next Monday at a law firm for $12.00 an hour. He was a International Relations major at Mary Washington, so it is understandable that he has not been able to find anything.
