    I have an official title of VP of engineering and work as a Project Manager or Project Coordinator. I have a GED. I also have a BS/MS but I don't list it on my resume and nobody knows it since it's not related to my field. I kept the 2nd largest refinery in the US running until recently which...

    We've had a string of them. You work on contract thru Aerote? In the petro chemical industry they pretty much have a shit reputation. The complaints I have heard was really centered around their recruiting and the people they send for an interview, not really how they treat people working for...

    They are related according to my grand mother who is the oldest person in the county now and knows EVERYONE and who they are related to. I have a feeling why, let's say there's a haves and have not deal going on in that county. The agent and the buyer are in the have not category. When my...

    It's not that hard to find out who the owner is and what my number is in that location. I don't think they got it from the real estate agent, they were just pissed so they called.

    So no tips on working with temp to hire? Quitting because they didn't get a permanent job after 2 weeks seems really odd/too fast to me.

    I worked at home for 15+ years. Different deal I guess. I did shop drawings and 90% of the guys who did them worked at home. I never made a sales call in that entire time. Some shops might have one guy and he basically was to send out work and everyone else worked at home. Sorry no help. Shops...

    My theory has always been we'll pay you what we think you are worth. If that doesn't work out we'll terminate you and find someone else. If that's too low for you so be it we'll keep looking. On another site a few others have said they were asked the same thing. I guess I'm in the super...

    I have no idea if you just got your PE. I have only hired civil engineers who have 20-25 years of experience. It's a lot like how I got my job.

    It's not finished and not in service. The contractor and the state are in court and nobody will OK any more funds or a rate increase for the cusomters it serves. I didn't have anything to do with that one. It was a complete from the ground up new experimental coal fired plant. The one I'm...

    Kind of lol. This is the 2nd one in the US. It's part of a carbon capture project going to an existing coal fired power plant. We're also doing the absorber. They spray the exhaust with a solvent. Then the captured carbon is pumped into the ground to "capture carbon" where it will be used in...

    Odd. I'm in a rental house the company is providing while I shop for a house. I can park both my extended cab Silverado and my crew cab F250 in the garage here. Never thought anything about it.

    Composer of Titanic and others dead?

    Title should read "Composer of Titanic and other films, dead?"Not other people. Plane registered to Oscar-winning composer crashes in California - Chicago Tribune Some pretty big films in that list not including probably scores of others I have never heard of.
