Have you tried any of the job finding sites? That's where I've been getting my calls.....

yeah, career builder, kansas works... still haven't heard anything yet.

I filled out the paperwork to get my 401K dispersed as cash just in case. not that much anyway but some extra cash can't hurt to have around. also emptied out my flex plan today too so I didn't loose any money from last year or this year.

I also got a call for another job this morning. I'll call them back this afternoon. I've got to take my son to the doctor and explained as much.

I also filed for unemployment benefits so we'll see where that leads. . . .

Hopefully somewhere I'll get something going soon. . . .

good luck again.

good luck again.

At least you have some funding to fall back on while looking.

I came back home from the doc's and had another phone call from another place. I have an interview tomorrow.

Coincidentally, it's the same company from the first call, just a different division. Now I'm uncertain if I should call the first one back now or wait until after the interview...

it's not that much, trust me. I hadn't been in the 401K long, I didn't loose as much as others in the shop. think the last statement said -7%

think I'd just do the interviews, oh, did you ask if they knew you were going to be there this time?

sounds like you could send a little of that luck my way.

I have the name of who's interviewing me so hopefully it will be a real interview this time. The guy I spoke with on the phone was nice enough to give me a couple of hints and tips about how the interview would go and what would be asked.

I'm sending plenty of luck your way!

For all I know I may be doing a month long of interviews...kinda like being tease with the possibility of getting a job.

That would suck.

sounds good that he was kinda prepping you.

thanks much appreciated.

a month of interviews would suck. groundhog day comes to mine without being able to have any fun. I hate interviews and now I'm sure it's going to be harder with so many people out there wanting/needing jobs.

I was told that the one job I applied for that they would start out as part time so I could figure out if I liked the job or not. hell, it's been quite a while since I've had a job that I actually liked doing that didn't affect some other part of my life that I liked as much or more (working in an MC shop does suck no mater what anyone tells you). it's a job I don't have to like it to still do the best I can.

GL Rogue, with all those interviews and contacts I'm sure you'll grab something soon. There's no doubt about it.

On a side note, I'd like to take this time to share my hatred of public speaking. Both the class and the notion its self. I have to give the second speech of six tomorrow in my damn class.. I'm just happy the semester is half-way finished already.

Edit: GL to you too zed.

thanks and good luck on your speech too.

I hated my public speaking class. I can..or could write a helluva speech and do well on my presentations/speaking, but I hated it.

Now I'm trying to come up with a plausible reason for the old job firing me. Hell, I'm not even sure if they truly consider my fired since I was told to "come back in 90 days and talk to me"

I guess I could give a generalized "downsizing" excuse.
