so I went to kinkos and got 5 copies of my resume and nortel specific cover letter printed on nice paper...should I staple them?

paper clip nga

1/10/2006 7:17:02 PM

ah good call

1/10/2006 7:18:00 PM

for real

in the professional world, stapling your resume = bad

binder clips or paper clips are the way to go

best of luck garret , ill write the cover letter in matlab for killians

nortel sucks

1/10/2006 7:25:03 PM

agree... no staple.

be sure to take a list of questions to ask them too!

1/10/2006 7:26:02 PM

^ yah working on that now as a matter of fact

1/10/2006 7:27:34 PM

If you have a padfolio or nice looking folder I'd keep everything in that. Gives you something to hold on to so your hands aren't hanging limp with nothing to do.

1/10/2006 7:31:07 PM

nortel isnt making any money

1/10/2006 7:32:48 PM

yeah I think Nortel is kind of on the way down

but a job's a job

1/10/2006 7:58:42 PM

yus and it keeps me in raleigh

my dad works at nortel, they go through a series of lay offs so watch out
good luck!

1/10/2006 10:49:31 PM

I got an interview too, lets hope wednesday is a good day for interviews

1/10/2006 10:50:28 PM

ooooh i worked at nortel, i loved it. but that was more of a function of the team i was on instead of the company

1/10/2006 11:44:01 PM

you should be more selective about where you will work. getting stuck in a shitty company with no raises or opportunities for advancement, benefits, or security is not worth the comfort of knowing you got a job right now.

some people NEED a first opportunity period...

A crappy real world industry job is better than a job in retail any day.

its critical for overcomming GPA pitfalls...

i accepted another job over Nortel was I was job hunting.

that being said, i would have taken the Nortel job if I had no other offers because any type of experience/work is better then sitting at home not doing anything.

good luck! i found my Nortel interview to be fairly relaxed and low key.

Yo, they've probably already laid you off.
