Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests CEG Employment Networking

This type of thread has appeared more frequently and appears to be a positive thing. CEG was founded upon the concept of helping others. We can apply that principal here in CI to employment. As a trial, and to begin with, please keep it to positions available only. Once we figure out how this operates we'll consider adding "I need a (higher paying, more vacation, slacker type) job posts." Just a few guidelines:

1. Keep it on topic
2. keep it serious (ie, legal)
3. Keep it genuine
4. Include basic details (Field, Location, minimum requirements)
5. Specific (use your judgement) details, follow up meetings and interview arrangements should be kept to PM's or eMail.

We'll try this for while and see how it goes.

Please post here with questions or comments. Better yet, help each other out and post about opportunities.

And to get this ball rolling....

Employer: Nokia

Job Location: Roanoke, Tx (very close to Dallas/Ft. Worth)

Job Description: Cell Phone Refurbisher

Job Field/Market:Electronics/Cell phone industry

Hours/FT/PT: FT: 8a - 5p or 3p to 11p M-F and some Sat.

Job Requirements: High school graduate with at least some knowledge of how to operate a cell phone.

Pay(if known): $8.50 starting (varies on experience)

Benefits(if known): N/A at this time. I imagine some form of medical is offered.

Additional Comments:

It was my cousin who got hired. He just moved here 2 days ago and was hired. The contact is a close friend of my dads and through the grapevine I have learned they are looking for many more. Good for local DFW area ppl needing work.

This one is slightly different as it doesn't apply to a particular position but to a variety of constantly open ones....

I'm going to list 2 seperate descriptions, one for Management, one for Scheduled (Union) employees.

Employer: BNSF Railway

Job Location: Various Locations in 19 States, all West of the Mississippi

Job Description: Varied Management positions.

Job Field/Market: Transportation -- Railroads

Hours/FT/PT: Full-Time (and then some)

Job Requirements: At least a Bachelor's. Major not particularly important but Engineer's (BS') preferred. No previous work experience necessary.

Pay(if known): Approx $55,000+ to start

Benefits(if known): Full Benefits at Competitive Prices, 401K, Railroad Retirement (in lieu of Social Security). Probably the best benefits available outside of the military.

Additional Comments:
Not for the faint of heart, most positions in the railroad industry are for those who are definitely willing to work for their money. It is a 24/7 work environment and your schedule will be anything but 9-to-5. It is a high stress, high responsibility work environment. But you are well-rewarded with pay, benefits, and job security.

Employer: BNSF Railway

Job Location: Various Locations; 19 States West of the Mississippi

Job Description: Various Union Positions.

Mechanical -- Maintaining Locomotives and Freight Cars

Transportation -- Operating Locomotives

Job Field/Market: Transportation -- Railroad

Hours/FT/PT: Full-Time + Overtime as Needed. Union Position Only.

Job Requirements: High School Education. No previous work experience necessary.

Pay(if known): Varies.

Mechanical -- Starting at Approx $20/hr
Engineering -- Starting at Approx $20/hr
Transportation -- Starting at $65,000/yr

Benefits(if known): Full Benefits available at extremely minimal costs (depending on craft). Railroad retirement in lieu of Social Security (better benefits and more secure). Some crafts are offered 401k and other incentives per Union-negotiated contracts.

Additional Comments:
24/7 Work Environment. And, as a new guy, you'd probably be working the worst shift. But with just a high school education you'd be hard-pressed to find a better paying job. The work can be extremely strenuous and, if needed, overtime can be forced.

Additional Comments: It's a good job with good people to work with (not counting the requisite lazy ass union workers. Every union shop comes with them standard). Those that do work are a joy. Great benefits, excellent pay, and plenty of time off (2 week shut-down in July, 10 day shut-down over X-Mas/New Year, plus 2 weeks vac. and 2 weeks call in time.)

If you are in the market for a job in the KC area, shoot me off a PM. I'm not sure if they plan to hire soon, but I know they are accepting applications.

This is a constant need for the company and not for any one particular opening. Right now there are MANY (and I mean MANY) openings for Accountants across the company that need to be filled. This means there are openings to start and openings to move up into if you are promotable. Send me a PM or e-mail if interested to find out more.



Not an accountant? Caterpillar, Inc also employs professionals from many disciplines (IT, Engineering, Legal, etc) so if you want to submit your resume let me know and I'll try to get it to the right people.

Great fun job, just trying not to cut my fingers off.

I need a job!

I'm finishing my MBA within the next few weeks and I've been hitting the job search trail pretty good, but I figured I'd throw something out here to cover all my bases.

Education: MBA with a concentration in Global Supply Chain Management. BS in Business Administration

Work History: Mostly retail and IT experience. Several (about 5 years) of retail, about 2-3 of IT. Supervisory experience from being a team leader of our consulting team (semester long project for the MBA) as well as being a Resident Assistant and the program director for the radio station as an undergrad.

Other knowledge: Some knowledge of SAP, extensive experience with windows, networking, internet applications, HTML. Some experience with C and Java.

What I'm looking for: Concentrating mostly on finding a position in supply chain related fields (logistics, procurement etc), also looking into IT (project management) and consulting. Willing to relocate, my parents are in FL and my sister is in NYC so I don't really care where I end up.

Any questions or interest either pm or send me an e-mail.

TIA!
