stuartbridgett79: le sigh.
stuartbridgett79: so much of le sigh.
Biscuit: Sigh?
stuartbridgett79: I have gone to using google as a jobseeking tool
Biscuit: I need a weekend job.
stuartbridgett79: and after various attempts at changing around 'engineering vacancies NY'
stuartbridgett79: I went to google and typed 'give me an engineering job now you bastards' and hit "i'm feeling lucky"
stuartbridgett79: Try it.
Biscuit: I would start by not using the term "vacancies"
stuartbridgett79: no, okay, it was different stuff. But I wanted to get across to you what I've been doing.
stuartbridgett79: Have you tried it yet?
Biscuit: WAIT A MINUTE
Biscuit: why does that
Biscuit: HEY!!
stuartbridgett79: Yes.
Biscuit: What did you DO?
stuartbridgett79: Hence: le sigh.
stuartbridgett79: That's quite something, huh?
Biscuit: How did you DO THAT?
stuartbridgett79: Absolutely positively no idea.
Biscuit: that's like
Biscuit: IMPOSSIBLE.
stuartbridgett79: I know.
OMG sniffle hahaha that was so full of comi-tragedy and bathos and everything one could EVER ask. le poor stuart! le frustration! enivrez-vous!
OMG!!
that was hilarious! and sad. good luck.
OMG is right. DeLurking over this post....wow.
Also delurking over this. Wow. LOL.
I am so impressed. It's as bad as typing in my research topic and google bringing up my home page.
Absolutely brilliant.

Its actually not that difficult. Lots of people link to you, so you've got a pretty good pagerank. Your site is fairly search engine friendly (the code is nice, quite good semantically [i.e. you use the right elements for the job] and the URIs aren't messy things full of question marks). Not only that, but the page in question has a high proliferation of the keywords "give me an engineering job now you bastards". Just think, in the not too distant future, this entry will probably come up first ;-)

*snork*
It does come up first. Excellent.
The thing was, Anne, I actually hit 'I'm feeling lucky' when I did it, being confusingly presented with my own page.
So very disorientating.
I can see why that would confuse you, but maybe Google is prophetic. Self employment beckons?
Don't think that hadn't occurred to me too, Gordon, but I think it'll do me good to get to know the US on a fiscal level before venturing out...
Brilliant! Better than a googlewhack.
