Anyone notice this?? Don't know if this should go here, or in the EBR section... It's linked in the careers tab on EBR's website. http://www.erikbuellracing.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2013/08/EBRJobFairAug13.pdf | ||

I'd be all over that if I could work from home... in a Tech Support or customer relations, position. Maybe in the future? | ||

It would have kept what's his name out of running Harley if they had that as a strict requirement. | ||

I recently sent them my resume about a warranty administrator (dealer and vsc experience of about 8 years) and didn't get a call back. I would love to work there. | ||
| Greg_e |
Send it again, might stick this time looking at some of the other positions that listed on the side. | ||

pretty cool, glad to see a company that is building, expanding, and recruiting - and doing it with a face to face venue. lord knows the HR/Taleo-X/KeneXa/ Careers submittal is a black hole. You get 6 seconds of look, if they look at you at all. I have found that it is better to get face to face and audition rather than submit the resume/cv. and at any instance - cut HR out of the loop. looking for the lighter, leaner, meaner - and dirty EBR Griffin ! ..... I feel like Mulder and his UFOs 'I WANT TO BELIEVE' ! | ||

"and at any instance - cut HR out of the loop" ...Ouch. Thats what I do.  | ||

I wish I could have gone to the job fair. I resent the resume. I'd still love to work there... 'Choose a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life' (Message edited by Thumper74 on August 14, 2013) | ||

F22raptor, have they been testing all 3 models? I understand they are leading with the RX, apparently so they can qualify for world super bike. But I am really hoping they release the AX soon after. | ||

Seems to be much emphasis on braking performance. also different exhaust notes....Interesting! | ||

I deal with C level executives all the time. I see their job postings for 'employees' give them a week or two, and then pitch a solution as a contract / non employee alternative. Audition, invent, promote and get results - in my experience - HR doesn't care about that, they are more concerned about key word placement and their widgets of TaleoX and KeneXa. I want a job, and money, challenge and success - I don't talk to HR. PS I wish EBR / HERO great success - love to see them down the run way and climbing altitude Looking forward to the launches of the new models, like a fat kid at Crispy Creme | ||

Cityxslicker, You nailed it so perfectly that I almost cried! i can't express opinions like that without a ton of bad feedback. I was going to say along the lines of this: "treat your fantasy of EBR like the gorgeous girl at the bar....somethings are best left alone as the may stink in reality"....I wish him the best also, but only living a few miles away and $200k wouldn't get me to work there. Go EBR! (Message edited by F22raptor on August 14, 2013) | ||

case in point, two weeks ago - I emailed into a corporate C level exec in Romania for their brochure, translation, marketing assessment, and clinic audit certification (to receive foreign insurance payments ie American money) Original email on 8/2, Company Owner responds 8/6; we skype 8/8 - I signed bid and contract on 8/12. American HR - you are not getting a week turn around on anything. Following that trend - I pitched a position to moto dealer owner last week..... Phone call yesterday Offer in box this morning No HR. coming back to cycles - insurance is going to get a back burner ; but I will continue to rail against ObamaCARE every chance I get. Come on EBR - love to see a new American Ride to the mix ! especially if it is dirty and light ! | ||

"I want a job, and money, challenge and success - I don't talk to HR. " Well if the 1099 side of life suits you, then by all means. And if you get your foot in the door at a place that doesn't sub everything out - hey, more power to ya! In my experience, most corporate monkeys don't like my type because we're most known for reprimands and terminations. Not my favorite part of the job but someone has to take out the trash. I know, I know - that makes me lower than whale sh*t, sub-human slime. | ||

"lord knows the HR/Taleo-X/KeneXa/ Careers submittal is a black hole." All of our positions are filled through Taleo. Even internal candidates seeking new positions have to submit resumes electronically via Taleo. At a company that is operated ethically, there are no back door resume submissions. I'm proud to say I work for one. | ||
| F22raptor |
Hootowl, you don't really believe that do you...Just like the old Buell plant "Auction" was legit...Please! | ||
| Skinstains |
I wish I had logged in and saw this before today ! | ||
| Hootowl |
I do. Even if the CEO had a golden child that he wanted to hire, that person would still have to submit a resume through Taleo. | ||
| F22raptor |
You are so cute! I watch ants going back and forth serving the queen thinking they are helping themselves. Some of them wander away and just feed their own The rest go through Toledo... | ||
| Hootowl |
Thanks for noticing! The rest of your post made no sense whatsoever. Do you work for an unethical company? I know that they're out there, and not in small quantities. I don't work for one of them. I've been here long enough to get a sense of the culture. | ||

meh, if it were just me - then I would say that I was the fat kid asking out the prom queen and I got what I deserved in rejection. But if you look at the blogsphere o recruiters and HR - it's not just me; it is MILLIONS of unemployed and it is the 6 seconds of look that a resume gets from a widget generalist that is told to 'hire' "somebody" - IF your resume gets seen at all I do not know how many times I have had to explain to recruiters that key word my resume that Military Intelligence is NOT 'Business Intelligence' ie bombs, planes, amphib landing craft and spook tactics vs cables, routers, servers, ASP, cloud architecture and computer networking..... ps - what ever twit that started calling the IT department that needs a severe dose of Whack A Mole hammer to their pointy Dilbert head. PPS on insurance - I am content to watch it burn, I have hedged my bets on the failure, and since I can't get paid to fix it - you can damn well bet I am going to short it and bank the profit before it crashes and when it does (and it will) I TOLD YOU SO. | ||

And I know what our hiring requirements are... | ||
| Hootowl |
Those companies aren't managed very well. Our job postings are specific, HR doesn't look through thousands of resumes trying to find one to fill a position. We don't use head hunters. The resumes submitted are specific to a position. Key words mean nothing because they aren't looking for a network architect from a stack of thousands of resumes submitted by welders, pharmacists, etc. They are only looking at ones submitted by network architects. If your HR dept. doesn't operate this way, they're doing it wrong. I filled a position a few months ago, and I saw every resume that was submitted by a person who met the requirements posted in the job description, and that was based on the type of degree they held, and how long they've been doing the work, not on keyword searches. City, I'm sure you could finagle a meeting with our CEO and get him to hire you as a contract consultant for the duration of a project. Highly knowledgeable niche information folks are valuable, and often essential for the success of a project. But companies don't need those people long term. So yes, for some, the 1099 lifestyle is a great fit. The pay is typically high enough that you don't need to work all the time, so life in between engagements is not spent wondering where your next meal will come from. I did it for a while. It was a good time. | ||

Back in the day when people actually WROTE a resume and called/talked to people, you could deal with human contact. Back then a job opening would get dozen or so applications, not hundreds. Neither did you have some idiot shotgunning hundreds of no-freaking-effort-to-send resumes out to hundreds of places in electronic form. Our company has whittled down to about a dozen openings in Engineering/Tech staff and now have over 5000 resumes AFTER reducing the pile. You think any engineering manager wants to bother to review all that shit? Many of them are OBVIOUS shotgun applications where people have not bothered to read the job offerings and requirements. I think it's the orgasm now, relationship be damned crowd that is DEMANDING gratification. It's just too damned easy nowadays to saturate prospective employers with applications and resumes. These times have forced the hand of many companies when even the smallest of companies have literally dozens of walk-ins a week (at least here in CA where job choices tend to suck). Contractors and job shoppers DO have very real advantages (security NOT being one of them). Been there, done that... 'til I got a "little tax issue" that took 7 years to pay off.

But seriously, a legit Job Fair - hosted by PEOPLE is a great opportunity. | ||
| F22raptor |
hootster, Do you live out here? I have for 25 years. I know many current, former and "would-never work there again" people. A mass job-fair is great for mass hires of unskilled labors. The top people never need to apply, they are draw from other careers. I fit into that category. This forum is no place to air the info that I know. Brian |
