Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Yeah, it does look like it's going to get worse. It took me about 3-4 months to find a job.

I was very disheartening and when I was starting to abandon hope, I got two interviews in the same week. Then I had a different problem to deal with because one offered me the job before I had my 2nd interview for the job I wanted more. The one I didn't take was in health care and the other was education. I'm a bit worried about lay-offs in the future, but so far, it doesn't look like it will come to that. If we get furlough-ed, I'll worry more.

    Both made comments about how nice my resume was by the way. It looked nice, was in color, and was printed on heavy (32#) 100% cotton paper. It's an additional expense, but well worth it because your resume is a reflection of you. Even if they've seen your resume already because you applied electronically, you should take a bunch of hard copies to any interviews (take enough for panel interviews).

    Good luck and stay positive!
    Sig, I'm so sorry for replaying so late.

    I think that is great advice. Plus I still have a lot of 100% cotton paper left from my thesis so I can use it for that.
    I applied to a lot of places, and I got, "We have received your resume and feel that you are over qualified for this position...etc., etc."


    But I have to say I have been finally living life again. FINALLY. I just need to feel my old self again. I'm working on it. Being a drama queen and crying endlessly about things I can't and CAN change, doesn't do anything but make me feel more depressed.

    p.s Vegas was so awesome. And I love the beach! I can't wait for San Diego... need to go for the summer. Oh, and lots of museum going. =)

    Eating ice is the best during this heat wave.

    Oh, I know. Its been a pretty hard couple of years now and it just seems to get worse.

    The good news is that I finally got myself to work on my resume. I have two different styles of it. I'm not done yet but I think I'll send it off to a friend in a few days to tell me if it looks right or not. Its really nice putting my accomplishments on paper. I didn't know I did so much in such a short period of time.
