Job hunting...

[NorDog]

I need to hire a permanent full time Certified Hyperbaric Technologist to work in East LA.  Let me know.

Huh?

Good luck Joseph with the search. It is tough out there. Like I need to say that. Heard a lot of soulful stories today waiting in line. Lots of people talking, just wanting to tell their story to someone else in line who would listen. Lots of long faces.

Went to my first job fair today. Time would have been better spent having a pint at the Dubliner. Wait a minute... other than riding a bike spending time at the Dub is always better than most anything.

I'm not trying to get rid of you, but have you thought of living abroad?

You and me both bro'. Just try being a mid 50's white guy, who doesn't speak Spanish and is not high tech or have an IT degree. Better get my shovel ready... I see a ditch digging carrer in my future. It's gonna be hell on my back!

is that place still part of texas??

wait, there's other place in texas? 


in other news, as far as I know, the economy has definitely hit houston, but it hasn't been too bad and I know there are still companies out here that area hiring.  I know for certain that almost every one of the NASA companies out here are still hiring, although more in the engineering type fields, i wouldn't completely discount other disciplines

[Mammalian04]

If anyone knows a lead on a decent job anywhere abouts your area (or your company!), can you shoot me a heads up??  My ship date for OCS is a little far off for me to feel comfortable being unemployed, and so I've been job hunting lately.

Thanks guys!  [moto]

Have fun out there in the Quigley!

Good man- nose to the grindstone. You might be better off getting something close to home. Gas money & wear/tear on your car can quickly erase any income...
Where are you living exactly?
If I hear of anything I'll let you know

As of right now, I'm in Stephenville.  Looks like I'll be moving back home to Waco where job market = 0.  Not even McD's is hiring.  I went home last weekend and looked.    Blast this economical downturn.

Is there any job market out there for a professional bike rider that ISN'T a racer or a magazine artice writer?

If you can hold your breath and not fart you can bill yourself as a "Zero Emissions Tire Warmer" and get some track time to boot!   [moto]

Dude, trust me when I say I know that it sucks to be broke and out of work.  Been there too many times to count.  But I've also learned that sometimes it's not as bad as chasing the bucks and finding yourself trapped in a job from hell.

Remember that the things that really matter are family and friends.  I would rather be broke and in debt with those, than rolling in bucks and all alone and miserable.  I've done both.

The trick is getting a good job with $$$ while keeping family and friends first and foremost.  And it's a big trick too.  Still working on it.

Word, that's some sound advice there.

I'll have to give that zero emissions tire warmer thing a try...
