I know that many of us have been hit by the recession, and that many of us are on the job hunt. The browncoats are an amazing network of folks, let's harness that.

Please use this thread as a clearing house for the job search, I don't know how much it will help, but it never hurts to try.

Please post a quick resume summary, and or what you are looking for, desired location, etc. Try to keep it short and succinct

I'll start it off:

I go in for an interview via a temp agency tomorrow morning!

For anyone else looking, a temp agency may be worth looking into.

I too am in the job market. I do have a part time job flagging traffic but it's not much compared to what I was making before.

My resume is too long to post here and as there are only two or three Vermont Browncoats on here and two of us are out of work...

Well, you get the idea.

Got an e-mail today in regards to my latest interview. I won't be called back for a second one.

Gets depressing after a while.

Something will pop up sooner or later... Or I'll win the lottery which ever comes first.. and right now, I think I might have better odds with the lottery.

What kind of work are you looking for? or ideally hoping to find?

I may be in Texas but I have family all over, same for other browncoats. I have family in W. Virginia if that isn't too horribly far to travel for work (bear in mind my definition of horribly far is much different than most, I live in a city on a good day with no traffic it takes about an hour to traverse) , I can ask if they know of anything.

West Virginia is a 12 hour drive... Kinda hard to commute that every day

I don't have a degree but I have experience in Auto parts (7 years) Route Sales (1 year) Aircraft Line Service (3 years) and I was an emergency medical tech on two different Ambulance services for a combined 14 years(10 full time. The rest was volunteer or part time)

I no longer have the EMS certifications and I kinda burned out in that field but just about anything else similar to the above I would take a look at.

Hey just a suggestion to those out there searching.. your local school district is likely looking for classroom assistants. They pay's usually around $9-15 an hour depending on education and such. They do a background check, but the positions usually come with benefits. They don't need you to have education experience either... so check your local districts!!

Good suggestion, I had already hit the school districts up, but it might help someone else,another place to check is with the districts themselves, the local citiies, etc, Also, I hear the census bureau is doing a lot of hiring for next years census... its another possibility.

Also, good standing temp agencies, I interviewed with one on Monday, and they are already sending out feelers of possible job interviews. Really hoping something good comes from it.
