Well, sure. If I had any idea what "in the industry" meant............biggins said:

Start saving those classified ads my friend. While I am up there if I can find an equivalent I may not leave.biggins said:
Last time I was up there, they were building something big at one of the Dupont Trail Heads. I think "Trail Dynamics" http://www.traildynamics.com/ got some funding or something and along with what they already do, were going to be offering MTB and outdoor adventure stuff.
You should go check it out, maybe they are hiring folks.

I'm currently interviewing candidates for a payroll position. What do you know about payroll regulations and how are your customer service skills? Also, you'll need to relocate to Springfield, MA and NO you don't get relocation expense reimbursement.biggins said:
You won't make any real money in the bike industry, unless you can land a sales rep job for like Specialized or Trek. That would be a tough one to find too.

not to much about payroll, as for customer service i know a lot. i work with customers all day long. i have interacted with customers in some form or another for the last 4 years. i work for a cell phone company currently that is rated number 1 in customer service.
I don't know him personally,although I have heard tons about him via the IMBA grape vine. There are a ton of hard headed stubborn guys out there. But how bad could someone be that spends that much time building and maintaining MTBike trails? He probably even rides them once in a while.biggins said:
Oh. Yeah. Guess that makes sense. First thing I thought was that you were looking for a job as a Lounge singer or something.............biggins said:

I want a job in the "OTHER" industry. Hey, if ugly Ron can do it, I can do it.
He who does the payroll makes his own salary?I Are Baboon said:
seriously though, i have no clue. in my experience, payroll calculations are simply a matter of using a 10-key and knowing how to proof your own work. if i were you and wanted to try something different, i'd look at the job as a great opportunity to work on the admin side of business, learn a trade that you can literally take anywhere throughout the country (it's amazing how much people hate anything payroll related), and do some different riding in a new area.biggins said:
Payroll clerks and Payroll administrator positions are pretty limited, but have a decent pay scale. Depending on your area you could be looking at anything from $13-20 an hour. Unfortunately without a degree in either accounting or HR they really can't lead to much.
In general you do not need to know the nitty gritty specifics as HOPFULLY you will be working with a payroll product (Software), but you would need to understand the basics of FICA\FUTA\SUTA\SS and other deductions.

He makes lame trails but hes a pretty cool guy. We work with Ben and Adam that are employed by him and they are real cool.
What he didn't tell you is that you'll have to take a second job just to pay the rent....... and houses cost a $billion....Ciaran said:

13-20 is still more than im makin now and housing here is expensive as well. man im just bummed get cussed at all day long by pissed off customers, get assigned more work all the time, have vast amounts of knowledge in the cellular industry and im makin way less than the industry standard.
And I thought you were going into prostitution...biggins said:

seriously. living here is 8 percent more expensive than living in the raleigh/durham/chapel hill area.which is pretty expensive to begin with. what would, like, a pretty standard 2 bedroom apartment go for? what about if i were on the outskirts of town or in a rural area?
Dude. It's LA - there *IS* no "rural area"biggins said:
I'll have to let the SC monkey chime in on prices, but I've gotta guess in a decent neighborhood a 2-br is gonna run $2k or more.

Man, I lived in the SF Bay area (the East Bay - the "cheap" side) back in the autumn of '96 with my future wife, and the "normal" 2-bedroom apt that we were living in was $2100/mo.biggins said:
It's fuggin' CRAZY!

Yeah man........ $2K. At least. Probably more. Ask the SCbiggins said:
sEven in the Denver area a decent two bedroom like that is probably gonna run you a grand.

Hey! That sounds like where I live........... except the college/drunk girl thing. I suppose that's OK since I'm married with children.biggins said:did i mention, 2 miles from the dirt jumps and 3 miles from the nearest trail? 7 miles from the nearest trout stream. 6 miles from the nearest college full of young drunk girls. maybe i should stay here and try to find a new job........

Want a roommate??biggins said:

Ok so now do you know anyone in the auto business up there that I can talk to about a job?
Seriously many many many times when I come up there I browse the paper. And there was a SERIOUS housing appreciation that happened right AFTER I bought my house, so it is really ONLY the job thing holding me in SFLA.
I am an Assistant Controller for a Lincoln Mercury franchies right now(for a large dealer group). I have the resume that will work forbiggins said:
Controller or any accounting management (depends on the size of the dealer) also GM (thats a long shot), but also Business Development mgr, or any IT management related stuff in a dealer.
If you hook me up, I will buy a place and you can live cheap ... Deal?
