It might help if we knew what you did or what you are looking for!! :lol:
as of right now i do car audio which is what id like to do, but i have done other stuff, i have worked on a cattle ranch, managed a grocery store, worked in a lumber yard at home depot, worked as a ground hand for a powerline company which includes a little dozer work, i know how to operate a bucket truck, fork lift, tractor. if that helps any
Sucks your getting laid off man, it's hard out there. I wish the best for you.
If you have management experience you may try a parts store if any are hiring. It isn't great pay but it is really easy and predictable. I started 2 years ago in high school at $8 and hour and now make $11 doing the exact same thing but with a manager title.Quote:

hopefully it works out man, there are a LOT of people looking for jobs lately.
Dude, sorry to hear about that. Go down to the unemployment office, online or via telephone and get registered to get your benefits. Always do that first. Get you a resume put together ASAP so you can start passing it around. Get some generic business cards made up with your contact information on it. Don't put a company name, just your's, your email, location, what your current job is or what you're looking for, phone numbers and all that. Vistaprint.com will do 250 for free and under $10 shipping. Pass these out to friends and people you meet and tell them what you're looking for and ask if they have any ideas on where to find work doing what you're doing. I'm going through all this right now. Networking pays off.
yeah, plan is unemployment office prolly tomorrow or friday, been working on my resume as i have a free time, even tho im getting laid off, i still have appointments that im having to work till friday when im gone, but every free chance i have, im searching and working on getting a job, i also have a few people searching for me as well, hope all works outQuote:

There are tons of places hiring around here. Most are crappy jobs but some pay is better then nothing. Right?
Every retail store here is hiring, most fast food/restaurants.
If I was you I would try some retail stores, like I said they are all hiring down here.
