Bass Dude Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I've been on this forum for a couple years now, and enjoy it very much. However, this section has baffled me. The description says 'Looking for sponsors..Post your resumes here.' This to me sounds like companies go in here to look for people to add to their pro staff or have a sponsorship position available. However, this section is just people making "suggestions" on why no company would consider you according to the resume you post. Or griping about how you should make it on your own, and not spend time on looking for sponsors. I'm not sure anyone gets anything out of this section. Again, I'm sure I'm in the minority, but just thought I would throw it out there! Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted January 22, 2011 Super User Posted January 22, 2011 There is some great advice from many members in this section. You could spend days reading through the back pages. You will gain quite a bit of insight on what sponsors are looking for, how to promote yourself and write an effective resume. 8-) Quote
peters_skeeter Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I think it's easy for people to criticize and ridicule other people when it is on an impersonal forum. Now, would most of these people be negative if it was done in person? Probably not, they would probably would have words of encouragement. But on the other hand, there are cases where maybe tuff love is what is needed. I'm sure it's a dog eat dog world trying to compete to obtain sponsors. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 23, 2011 Super User Posted January 23, 2011 Yeah, dog eat dog out there, LOL. Quote
hike4steel Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I thought the same thing. Worthwhile section but could use a more accurate title. "Sponsers and Resume Advice and Questions"? Quote
