| 3713.1 | VTX JOBS_US appears to be hosed today... | DECWET::FARLEE | Insufficient Virtual um...er.... | Thu Feb 23 1995 12:41 | 12 |
| The pointers seem to be somewhat - eh- scrambled today...
I know that there are jobs at ZSO (my site), so I went in
and welected Jobs by Site-> site ZSO
I was rewarded with: (drum roll, please!)
"Product Environmental Specifications from Engineering to Sales & Service"
A completely unrelated infobase!
I'll send mail to the maintainers...

| RE: .0
Lynn, I was wondering also.
I thought it might have been related to 3613.*, but maybe there is a
problem with the feed going into VTX as suggested in .1.

| 3713.3 | The Trick Is.... | MPGS::WENTWORTH | | Thu Feb 23 1995 13:25 | 9 |
| There is a trick to this.....
Do this - FIND "SITE ZKO"
not as previously done FIND SITE ZKO
The qoutation marks make a difference.
I HATE VTX FOR MANY REASONS LIKE THIS

| 3713.5 | Here we go again? | TOOK::GASKELL | | Thu Feb 23 1995 13:41 | 6 |
| I sent a note to GRIMLY::JOBS_BOOK and they said that those jobs have
been put on hold, effective immediately.
Make what you like of that! (And I'm sure you will)
Me thinks it's a case of "here we go again".

| 3713.6 | Helpful Hints | SEABAG::TESSCTL | | Thu Feb 23 1995 13:51 | 33 |
| Good Afternoon,
Yes, several users have reported the same problem with
keyword searches not working.
It seems, their systems were upgraded to the latest version
of VTX and the keyword function acts a little different now.
Put quotes around the keyword and it will work as expected.
In fact you will be able to use the up and down arrow key to
select the choice from the dynamic menu. Place highlighted bar
on selection (using arrows) and then press the select key.
The prompt "VTX Command" indicates you have latest VTX version,
so when you press <PF1> <7> keys the word FIND appears
VTX Command>FIND
examples:
VTX Command> FIND "DATE 9502*" all jobs opened Feb 1995
FIND "DATE 95021*" all jobs opened Feb 10-19 1995
or FIND "SITE ZKO" all jobs at site ZKO
FIND "SITE M*" all jobs at site starting/w M
FIND "JOB 26AF" all Account/Analyst 26AF jobs
or FIND "JOB 50AD MLO" all 50AD jobs at site MLO
FIND "SITE MKO 36*" all 36 MARKETING jobs at MKO
FIND "SRI 39" all jobs with salary range 39
Hope this helps,
Marsha

| 3713.7 | Its true about the jobs... | POBOX::CORSON | Higher, and a bit more to the right | Thu Feb 23 1995 14:38 | 12 |
|
My sources have confirmed that all jobs are "on hold" until
April. It appears that the company is doing everything humanly
possible to "control" expenses in order to have a reasonable
quarter. This makes sense, since our 3rd quarter is usually
the weakest in both sales(revenue) and profitability. We are
also experiencing more margin pressure due to the shift of
product mix from high margin to low margin products, and we
are discounting big iron more to move it.
These are the facts of life in this business today.

| 3713.8 | works from here... | VIVALD::SHEA | | Thu Feb 23 1995 14:45 | 3 |
| When I do a VTX JOBS_US, then PF1,7, I get the usual FIND, and I put in date
950222 enter, to get yesterday's job entries. I just did it, and it displays
3+ pages of jobs. No message about these being on hold...what gives?
|
| 3713.9 | | BSS::C_BOUTCHER | | Thu Feb 23 1995 15:45 | 3 |
| I doubt if ALL jobs are on hold. Services is so far behind and has
such a strong need directly related to revenue that a freeze on jobs
would kill Q4 revenues in services. Let's not bail out first.
|
| 3713.10 | When FIND won't do, JOBS_US has CBR | LNDRFR::ADOERFER | Hi-yo Server, away! | Thu Feb 23 1995 15:55 | 9 |
| -or-
if you have a current version of vtx (including windows)
you can SEARCH (or click on the icon) the text of the jobs postings
themselves.
SEARCH word at the VTX command prompt or SEARCH alone for
a menu you can do more advanced searching from (in phrase, sentence,
multiple terms, date ranges - etc).

| Also, even if there are job reqs posted, it does not mean that they are
available at this time. The group I work for has some reqs open, but our
headcount is frozen (despite losing 2 people over the past few months).
Anyone calling will be told this, and asked to try again in July.
(BTW the reqs are for software engineers at various levels)

| 3713.17 | Postings gone by error... or design? | MNCHKN::SUMNER | | Fri Feb 24 1995 16:50 | 9 |
| The rumors here are that those 'job types' are on hold/frozen/gone
with some _big_ cuts expected very soon (w/o 2/27/95?) in those
very same areas.
Of course this isn't the correct topic for the rumor mill so
this rat-hole probably belongs somewhere else. :)
stay tuned...

| 3713.18 | Copy of memo confirmed hold on jobs | WILLEE::GIBSON | | Mon Feb 27 1995 08:23 | 5 |
| I received a copy of a memo from high up people confirming that 484
open req.'s were on hold and that all activity on those req.'s should be
halted. The memo had the jobs broken down by function and business unit.

| I didn`t have any trouble getting into the Jobs Book. The only problem
I`m haveing is that my manager keeps telling me that I don`t have any
qualifactions to do the job...MBA and all. I really think its time to
spend more time looking outside.

| Re: last few, check out those "missing job families" Anyone notice the
pattern? It's called reducing General & Administrative Expenses. It's
going on right now particularly in the CS Division... Q3 must not be
meeting our revenue/margin expectations, although they've said these
cuts will need to be made through the end of the FY anyways (at
least...)
