OT- Job Opportunities
To be clear, I'm not the recruiter. I am well connected with many recruiters here in the Atlanta area because I manage a large IT team here, so have regular business with recruiters. The information i have below is all that I have. I'm willing to pass your contact information and resume if you want on to the recruiter. She can then give you more information on other positions available or more insight into the ones I have listed below.
Can never hurt to put things out that we know about. A friend that is a head hunter just let me know that Mercedes will be hiring PM's and Business Analyst in the Atlanta area (Sandy Springs) at their new HQ. I don't know if there is relocation involved, that's for you to negotiate. I also don't know anything about the salary. Below is some of the information provided to me. If interested, please email me at [email protected]. I will then put you in touch with the recruiter.

Kind of felt the same way, but also felt that michigan people helping michigan people can't be wrong.
Yeah, I didn't want to be a dick about it. I'm sure it's probably cool for offseason. I've got a couple friends in Atlanta that might be interested too.
...M network helping each other out w/job info doesn't belong here, but an avatar of a woman that doesn't show her head but only her bikini-clad breasts does. +1 to you!
I have often wanted to make a post asking for advice or tips on finding a job, but I always felt like it wasn't the best place. If I didn't already have a job, I may have done so already.
A job board would be a great addition.
There's a LinkedIn group, I believe.

I haven't checked recently, but I believe that LinkedIn group was kind of DOA. Like all things LinkedIn, people signed up and then never really did anything with it.
Linked In is the best thing ever.
Signed, a shareholder.
...I had a senior-level manager with one of the top brands in the world tell me that LinkedIn is a "waste of time." I just laughed and nodded while in my head I was thinking, "wtf, dude."
I have actually received a few job offers via someone coming across my LinkedIn. I turned them all down because I am not leaving Michigan . . . but many recruiters nowdays supplement their real life connections by searching LinkedIn for potential candidates (allegedly).
The last entry in the MGoNetworking LinkedIn entry is from 2012. There have been a couple more recent responses, but not much action. Not to say there couldn't be though - there are 621 members.
The only real use I have found with LinkedIn is keeping up with what my former coworkers/colleagues whom I have met over the years are now doing in their careers, but we weren't exactly "close" enough to be FB friends.
has decided to forego his freshman season and is going straight to Mercedes for one of those sub-$300 cars.
I am your man. Or, at least, his man. And your's too, random MGoBlogger.
I'll be your Huckleberry.
Thanks for noticing.
Tech writer! Don't see many of us around. My degree is actually in technical writing, and that's what I did for the first couple years out of college. I've moved into other things now, but I always feel kind of surprised when I see someone admitting talking about being a tech writer. Out of curiosity, how did you get into the field? I didn't know it existed until I saw a presentation on the major in college.
You can't fool me, Dave. Posing as the friend of a Mercedes recruiter isn't the way to find new Toys R Us employees. No one wants to work for you. You send mean emails.
If Dave BЯandon wants to inteЯview me, I’m not taking the call. Let him figuЯe out how to tuЯn that “Я” aЯound all by himself.
Too IT focused. I was hoping I could send it to my boss. I just gave him my notice leaving him in a difficult position at a company that has a lot of issues. Would've been nice to say he can go work for Mercedes!
with an email like "Ryansjobs" (unless, your last name is "Jobs") - your intentions here don't seem purely altruistic.
I have emails specifically for certain things. When I am job searching, I use that. it's the one on my resume and associated with my linkedIn. If you feel better, you can email me at [email protected] or [email protected].
The ryansspam was setup recently to get around an email filter that for some reason was blocking my junk. Initially (about 10 years ago) ryansjunk was just something I used for everything. I've been cleaning it up and unsubscribing it from anything I can as occasionally something actually useful comes in. Ryansspam has only been used once.

Your penis has its own email address?
Awesome.
See his reply above. Ten years ago he used it for everything, but his "spam" has only been used once. #coolstorybro
I don't know if I'd be impressed or weirded out by emailing a prospective employee at "RyansJobs"@gmail.com. Well anyway - carry on and have a nice afternoon.
The job requires you to wear a headset."

I'm just not sure if your enthusiasm is unknown to mankind.
I can leave this up for a bit in case anyone is in fact interested, but generally the "kiosk" stuff isn't long for the world around here. I do agree with others though - if we could ever get a side board going for OT, a "situations wanted" section wouldn't be a bad addition either, or indeed this stuff could be part of that.
Is there a way to do another forum within the structure of MGoBlog, or maybe just a side Google Docs/ish type board? MGoJobs? I can try and get on it.
that a certain international sports organization is looking for a new president if anyone is interested.
This is an intriguing opportunity, but I've also recently been offered a job that pays $10k/month working from home for 20 hours a week. Apparently I only have to learn one weird trick. Can Mercedes compete with that kind of work-life balance?
