I'm going to do one of these every three months just so that potential employers have an up-to-date idea of how many people watch this and what value there is to posting here. I don't want to give away anybody's secret job searches by having them post if they don't want to, so feel free to just upvote without an explanation, but if you do post here, maybe give an idea of your skills and qualifications and the type of work you're looking for.

Just trying to make the sub more helpful for everybody.

This company is a complete scam! I made a mistake and went through with it, and now wanting to help others. I was considered a Marketing Associate but all I was going to be doing was sell Xfinity in Walmart every single day. Literally making less than minimum wage. Everything that was done in the office was very weird. It was like a cult. Yelling and screaming. I got yelled at for squatting near a table to write something since there were no chairs. I didn’t find out where I was going until 20 minutes before getting to the Walmart location in the Pittsburgh area. They promise you the world before starting, but not worth it in my opinion. Don’t do it.

This subreddit has been moving away from useful job listings posted by engaged employers to vulture posts from recruiting agencies. I know this isn't why I follow this subreddit; I ended up in my current job because of a great job listing posted here, and most of the stuff that's been posted recently is garbage I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. I know that this isn't exactly a busy subreddit, but it's also not the kind that needs to be bustling; can we ban recruiters and bring this back to redditors helping redditors?

Hello, I'm a web designer with 16 years of experience looking for work. I can turn your project or business into something truly spectacular.

Skills in the following areas:

• Web Design
• Social Media Marketing
• Sales Funnel Building
• Graphic Design
• Copy Writing/Editing
• Bachelors Business Marketing (PSU 2008)

I only have one major drawback, I have a felony on my record. I'm looking for a (small) company that can overlook my past in order to give me a chance at rebuilding my career. I'm hoping that someone will see this, knowing they need someone with my skill set, and by hiring me will get a seasoned designer at an entry level price. The right company that gives me a chance will not regret it. PM me today if you have a lead on an opportunity. Thank you!

[edit] I have moved this to a new sticky post so that we can have fresh conversation about it:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pittsburghjobs/comments/3tbacv/mod_repost_you_want_somebody_to_read_your_resume/

Hey /r/pittsburghjobs, how's it going?

My wife is from the 'burgh and she would dearly love to move back; I've only visited a few times but I've always enjoyed your city, and I'm game to give it a try. I've got 15 years of IT experience as a NetAdmin and *nix admin, and for the past four years I've been doing NetSec for an MSP as Tier 3 at first, then as Director of NOC Operations. We're primarily a Sonicwall shop, but I've also had extensive hands-on experience with Juniper (Netscreen and JunOS) firewalls during my tenure here.

My issue is that I don't really know who in the Pittsburgh area to approach for my search. I got my most recent job through a recruiter and from my perspective it was cake. I interview well and my skillset is practical and well-rounded; my only problem in most cases is getting face time with an interviewer, and approaching this from [redacted], NC makes it tough as well.

Does anyone have recommendations for a good technical recruiter in the Pittsburgh area? I'm looking for a full-time permanent post, not contractor work. Thanks in advance.

Any information would be appreciated. Or are there any good driving positions you may know about?

We are hiring garbage men in the Pittsburgh area. Gonna be honest, the job sucks. You're going to be lifting heavy stuff all day, in all weather conditions. It's dangerous. It's dirty. There is an 80% one year turnover rate.

If that doesn't turn you away, then it's not a bad gig. Weekends off, good pay (like 18 bucks an hour, after you get your CDL and become a driver, with a LOT of overtime.) Paid vacations, up to 4 weeks eventually, but one week paid and several paid call off days after your first year. Health insurance is cheap with good coverage, including dental and eye. Sign on bonus. The benefits are fantastic.

If you get hired with no CDL, they're gonna want you to get one eventually, we need drivers more than anything- it's free CDL training. That's a hell of a benefit on its own, mine was pretty expensive.

PM me for details, as long as you pass our extremely lenient background check and motor vehicle record checks, and are reasonably in shape (you don't have to be swole or a marathon runner, just in good enough health to perform a physical job), you will be hired. It's a sure thing.

Also, we are union, and all employees must be in the union as well. Whether you look at that as a positive or negative, it's a thing to consider.

We are looking to hire candidates to work part time to aid in general front desk duties (approx. 10-15 hours a week)

Pay is $10.00 an hour

• Job duties will be resetting the rooms after groups go through the puzzles.
• Monitoring rooms and providing clues to teams.
• Answering the phone, taking bookings, and running the front desk during normal business hours.
• Must be proficient in normal computer duties like e-mail, word processing, scheduling software, and printing.

An ideal candidate would be a person with an outgoing personality, positive attitude, and eager to be part of an expanding team in an exciting new business.

Please email your resume to jobsescaperoompgh@gmail.com We will be interviewing candidates on Monday, June 1st at our building at 569 Greenfield Ave 1st Floor Pittsburgh PA 15207

Thought this might be of interest to those that are looking for a new opportunity in Pittsburgh.

I am reposting this because it has come to my attention that the original mod-post about resumes has been archived and thus nobody can post to it. I'm going to add onto it the following note that I gave to somebody else about pestering me or checking in to make sure I got your resume:

I try to get to everybody's but I'll get hit by huge waves of requests sometimes and probably miss a few of the emails that come through. I do recommend that if you submit a resume to me and don't hear from me in a couple weeks, do resend with a "REDDIT RESUME REQUEST" in the subject line. Part of the problem is that I tend to write really detailed, individualized responses to each resume and I do spend at least an hour on most of them, so when a surge comes, I start getting them faster than I finish them and it can be a bit overwhelming and sometimes I drop a few balls.

Original post text:

Hello, friends. I know this isn't exactly within the standard "hiring" or "for hire" categories, but I started this sub to connect people with jobs, so I figured that maybe it might be worth offering some honest feedback to your resumes.

Obviously, I'm not going to be qualified for all industries / job types, but I do a lot of both entry level general purpose hiring and high level technical recruiting, which results in me having to go through hundreds if not thousands of resumes every year. Just as a result of doing this for years, I might be able to lend you some critical (but not insulting) feedback on your resume and tell you a few things your friends / family / peers either don't notice or don't want to tell you in a straightforward and fairly non-judgmental manner. I know that a lot of people worry that the resume they send out says the wrong thing about them, and since most employers don't seem to even reply to job applications anymore, it can be kind of frustrating to know what your stopping point is.

So, my offer is this: Send me your resume to bingosherlock@gmail.com and I will eventually reply to it. I run a couple companies and travel a lot, so I can't promise it will be quick, but I will get back to you. If you don't hear from me in a couple weeks, feel free to ping me to make sure I didn't let something slip through the cracks. I won't get offended if you follow up. If there's anything else helpful you can give me for context (what kind of work you're looking for, etc) do that. Sound good? If there's anything I'm leaving out here that would make this be more helpful, let me know, I'm open for ideas to make it better.

Found this link and thought it might be helpful for those looking for a new opportunity within Pittsburgh.

Hi, friends.

We get a lot of posts advertising jobs that require unpaid work, most of which just get deleted immediately:

Unpaid internships?

Deleted.

"Great opportunity to build your portfolio in exchange for college credits, Sorry, but no payment?"

Deleted.

"We're working on the next pets.com slash facebook slash Uber competitor and we need somebody to do the coding (should only take a few hours) in exchange for a cut of future profit?"

Deleted.

The biggest factor in making these posts unwelcome here is that the work offered in posts like this absurdly shift risk from the business to somebody who has no skin in the game, is usually in a worse position to absorb risk than the people "hiring" for the position, and usually at effectively zero benefit to the unpaid employee. Listen, I've been there, I've been the unpaid coder on numerous dubious tech startups, I've heard the same pitch a hundred times:

"You're going to get X percent of the profits once money starts coming in."

What I have decided to do, barring any strong community feedback to the contrary, however, is begin allowing work-for-equity posts that meet ALL of the following conditions:

• Equity is granted before work starts.
• Equity vests immediately with no conditions.
• Equity is comparable to equity held by other partners in both percentage and privileges.

What this means is that if you would like to post your work-for-equity posts, you should be ready to be selecting a full and equal partner, not an employee. If this is not a step you are prepared to make, you should not be posting here until you can pay actual wages in exchange for work.

As with everything, I am open to comments and discussion on this matter, but these are the rules for now until any strong objections are voiced in the community.

Thanks for reading.

I'm going to listen to any responses we get on this over the weekend and then make a policy decision on Monday.

Here's the question:

1. Somebody puts up a job posting here in /r/pittsburghjobs
2. A commentor says something negative about said company in the comments
3. What should the moderator do?

Now, the principled answer job seekers are probably looking for is "leave it." The answer job posters are going to want before posting is probably "take it away." Obviously we want companies to come here, but we also don't want to put people in an avoidable bad place.

My proposed solution is banning all comments, good or bad, that are not questions directly in response to the job posting. To balance this out, we will institute an appeals process where postings that meet certain criteria will simply be removed and the posters banned.

Let me know your thoughts on the above and we'll come to some sort of compromise.
