Bushie: The Final Frontier - Update Season V

[CLARENCE 2015!]

One thing you ought to conider is that your job longevity- the time you spend at each place of employment- will be a factor in others determining whether or not they will hire you. If I have a drifter come before me wanting to build houses and I come to find he's held five jobs in the past year- that makes me suspicious of his reliability
My advice- stick with a job longer then you seem to be inclined to do, and it will help your cause when you want to move on...

If I have a drifter come before me wanting to build houses and I come to find he's held five jobs in the past year- that makes me suspicious of his reliability

Heck nowadays all the people who know how to build houses are not only unemployed but probably living under a bridge. 

Most home builders nowadays make a lot of money.

Not as much as 10 years ago... or especially 20-25 in South Florida

You'll never get a raise if you can't hold a job for 6 months. Why can't you understand that your resume is a mess? And with every new job, it gets worse.

Exactly...

This is what I've tried to tell you... You are acting very foolish by expecting a promotion almost immediately after starting at a company, particularly when that company has good reason to believe you'll be gone in a few months- which they gather by looking at your resume! Why would a company promote some one and invest in that person if their history shows them to lack loyalty to any prior place of employment?

He is probably better off just flat out lying on the resume at this point and hoping HR doesnt do any legwork.

He'd be better off telling his interviewer that it is the first job he has ever applied for!

Do you guys think insulting my parents will cause me to take a second look.  What's done is done and there is zero need to keep pounding me over and over and over and insulting my parents.

The vast majority here think your parents are showing terrible judgment. If you don't want our reactions, and opinions, shut down the thread. Period. This is not a one way conversation. You have facebook as the place to get high fives from your fans. Use that venue if that is what you want.

Absolutely agreed...

Bushie- I do not want to come down on you and my offer via PM stands, but why ask all of these strangers for advice if you are not going to follow it? I have great sympathy for those down on their luck or experiencing misfortune not of their own doing- I have sympathy for those who make honest mistakes that we all make fromt ime to time...

I do NOT have sympathy for some one who continuously seeks advice- ignores the advice- sees the results of that decision- then repeats the process endlessly... and having your parents treat you like a 15 year old when they should be enjoying their golden years is insulting to me and any one else who has had children. My fights with my daughters involve them being upset that I am giving them too much....the arguments after dinner stem from them trying to stop me from picking up the tab for every one. Your philosophy seems to be using your parents- who I venture have worked hard for their entire lives- as a crutch while you continue to sail through life

Every poor decision you make sets you back and sets them back... and the fact that you fail to see this seems to me to be not stupidity but your own God damned choice! And for you to type out every detail of your life and put it into the public and then be insulted when some people here are trying to offer you advice- that is a joke!

If you want advice, ask for it-no one has any issue giving advice... but I am beginning to see what others have said about you. I don't enjoy lecturing you or any one on an internet board, but dammit you invite it with your behavior!

[CLARENCE 2015!]

I'm not looking for a rubber stamp, but the advice without the personal insults would do.  I'm agreeing with most of the advice, but could do without the insults peppered in.

You say you agree with it, but you obviously don't follow it!

[CLARENCE 2015!]

We're just trying to hit reset on my career before I get too old.  I was going nowhere in the position I was in and likely would have been passed up for quite a few things as I am not LDS.

You're over 30 and you're referring to career decisions using 'we'... unless you're in a relationship or you're using the royal 'we'. Your parents, who clearly don't know what they're talking about, need to back off. And if you're not strong enough to tell them to back off and respect you as an adult... then you're a totally lost cause.

I disagree with you on one point... this is not his parents disrespecting him- it is the other way around. If he milks his parents for all they're worth- they have a right to have a say in what he does...

[CLARENCE 2015!]

I hope you commit to holding this job for at the very least a year, if not longer...

[CLARENCE 2015!]

This would be a great time for a picture of a large woman... but it being Sunday morning, I'll refrain

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Bushie,
What are your short term and long term goals? Sometimes- it helps to spell these out every once in a while and create a plan to reach them...

[CLARENCE 2015!]

ABsolutely... Duke's advice is the way to go. Price it at 70% of appraised value if need be assuming that covers the mortgage... sell it, pay off the mortgage- all while earning income from being employed

You are a good person- your commitment to charity and serving other is admirable, but your failure to see the facts here is affecting others- your parents more then any one... and your failure to recognize THAT to me seems willful   

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Torie's advice is sound...I just built houses- never sold them ;-)

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Also, I have my first interview from the 10 applications I put in this morning tomorrow morning, Thursday, at 9:30 am in Downtown OKC.  It's just meeting with the recruiter, but it's something!

Well done on the applications, pal... good luck with the interviews!
