[jsfg_cinti] Second Thoughts Re: Re: The Job Quest of Bill Matthews

Connie,
 
The formation of self-governing SIGs could be very synergistic by enabling  
the Bill Mathews' of JSFG to share their own and others' skills.  We could  do 
...
1)   Management subdivided into LEAN Six Sigma, Accounting,  Marketing, 
Sales, etc.
2)   IT subdivided into PC's, servers, networks, etc.
3)   Applications subdivided into MICROSOFT, APPLE, CRM, etc.  
Let's talk  about it soon.
 
Regards,

Subject: [jsfg_cinti] The Job Quest of Bill  Matthews

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Being a very long-time user of  various on-line "discussion groups", I'm
going to throw in my 2 cents that  this particular case is decidedly
"borderline".

On the one hand, if  I'm reading it correctly, the primary function of
this list is the  distribution of job listings.  However, various other
topics related  to job searching do seem to come up.

Would a more technically oriented  group be more appropriate for a
specific Excel  question?

Possibly.

However, if a potential employer is sending  an applicant home with an
Excel test, it's entirely possible that employer  is actually testing to
see if that applicant will make use of external  resources.  That
particular job may involve making use of external  resources on a regular
basis.

It seems to me that if an employer  were mostly interested in a
"snapshot" of the applicant's current  knowledge, they would use a
rigidly timed, structured test.

Some of  the other "play by play" (i.e. whether employers are requiring
SSN's and  graduation dates at the application stage) has been quite
informative and  in fact, within reason of course, I think it might be
quite interesting to  see more of this information from other job seekers
re: are there certain  application/interview processes unique to this
area or are they pretty  uniform across the country? 

Thanks!

John
