Hiring is a tough job believe it or not. You can hire someone with all of the paperwork, experience, etc… and he may do an awful job. And sometimes the guys you think are suspect end up doing a great job and really suprise you. When the market is really good people are in high demand and that’s when they are looking for good money, quality boats and an all around good company to work for. At this time the employee has the upper hand and is usually in the drivers seat when it comes to negotiationg. In a down market the roles are completely reversed and the employer is in the drivers seat. You just have to know when to markety yourself and how to do it.

I’ve sat on the other side of the table in prior lives, and couldn’t agree with you more.

Going visit a potential employer makes all the difference in the world. If you show up and look professional, have all your documentation, are respectful to the staff you will usually get an interview right away whether the company is looking to hire or not. Companies are always looking for good people whether they are technically in a hiring mode or not. Good people are hard to find in any industry these days.[/QUOTE]
Excellent advice. Now if we could only get first time posters to use the search function and read it before posting…
Thanks for responding.
