2008 New Employees

I know there have been a lot of issues with JobNet, but the site flat out does not work in Safari (yes, I keep up to date, as well as checking the nightly WebKit builds), and it has been a headache switching to and from Firefox for the sole purpose of using JobNet. So for my fellow Mac users who use Safari regularly or more often than Firefox, I learned a nifty little trick that will alleviate your problems. Follow these simple steps:

1) Open your preferences window, and click on the advanced tab. 

2) Find the box next to "Show Develop menu in menu bar" and check it

3) Now go to your menu bar, choose Develop, then User Agent, and select your flavor of IE or Firefox (you may have to do this right after you go to the JobNet URL).

You'll notice that there are a lot of different options, including Opera and Mobile Safari in addition to about five different revisions each of Safari, Firefox, and IE. I just tested this on my MacBook Pro using Safari, and running the user agent selection as IE7 did allow me to successfully use JobNet.

Here is a screen shot for those interested in the specific problem.

For some reason the login field is acting as the New User (or whatever it is) field. Evidently my friend running Safari right now isn't having problems, though a fault like a switch of fields is definitely not on a user level.

I haven't had any problems using Safari with jobnet other than when I forgot my password. That menu option should be pretty helpful in the future though. Especially the Open with firefox option.

Thought of another question.

I was looking through the grooming guidelines again, to see what jewelery I could and couldn't wear. (If you don't know I'm a chick). While doing that I noticed the term "sculptured hair" in the no section... what the fudge is that? I looked on Google and all it came up with were stupid pictures of mannequins, LOL.

The only reason I'm asking is, I recently cut my hair pretty much guy short (it's maybe an inch long), and usually I dump gel in it so it doesn't stick out, which would make it kind of spiky. Would that fall into sculptured hair, or are they just talking about, like, mowhawks and stuff like that?

Hope that makes sense...

thanks

Amanda :)

I think you'll be fine. I think it means the more extreme hair styles, like mohawks, as you said.

It's really too bad the grooming guidelines are so out of date. I can't understand why I'm allowed a mustache but I can't have long hair.

Men with long hair? Yikes.

What is wrong with long hair? Girls are allowed to have short hair, so guys should be allowed to have long hair.

Personally, I think all employees should be shaved bald. It would create a sense of togetherness and unity and uniformity.

I just don't see why men should have long hair. Shaggy sure, but not long. And it's not the professional image that CP wants from it's employees!!

I've always assumed that the person who originally wrote the grooming guidelines had a mustache. After all, it probably was written during the 70's when everyone had them.

Its 2008.

Yeah, and that's one of the main problems.

They just want you keep a conservative look that is presentable. The park keeps a tight ship with this policy. I tend to agree with it, they're not asking much.

So we all end up looking like Super Troopers. Awesome.

I'm gonna miss my beard in a couple of weeks...... I wish I could keep it.

Me to, I have a Van Dike or whatever they call it. I have been like this as long as I have had facial hair.

i got hired on April 20th and i start on april 30th. I applied late. I'm an office clerk for human resources. hope its not crappy. I cant believe i have like 8 days to get my stuff and go to ohio. its crazy. im looking forward to it though:) i guess im going to stay in the dorms. are they really that bad? how much space is there for you stuff?? i dont have much time to think about what and what not to bring.

do they get picky about having a little bit of stuble on your face?

Yes.

^^ Ya, be ready to start shaving everyday.

^^^Dont bring a lot, just the neccesaties. There isnt much room but you dont need it. You just dont need that much stuff because you will be working most of the time.
