kenneth21441 0 #1 June 23, 2006 Well after a few weeks of depression I think I have a new job the only bad thing is I have to go to this Michigan regulations course for three days then take the lic. exam. then once I pass that test I go to Chicago for 11 days all compnay paid. The issue is this all starts on July 14th. I finally signed up for unemployement as I thought that Id find a job that fast in my specialiyt areas but not. Thanks to the great state of Michigan and the job market moving to Mexico etc...... As ive been looking for the past five weeks i can say its hard out there... even in Management.. and I beleive that Ill get back dated unemployment since I was looking and all that... I will know in a few weeks on this one... I had my first telephone interview with the Target DC here, that would be a nice position but dont count on that one as the one that they are sending me to school for has already offered: its selling insurance to the baby boomers.... a large market along in this part of Michigan with room for growth based on performance and management opportunity. So for me this is a change, but when a guy spends over an hour and half on a job interview with you this must mean something... Best to things I learned from this whole deal is: marketing your skills by networking: and take the best offer you can. keep and update your resume for the target company, make chages to fit them. if they are not looking send it to them anyway they could be. expect to change job types if you need too. biggest one no job is safe in these days. Be prepaired to be laid off. Just wanting to vent some news here.......... Should have stayed in Saudi...lol....Kenneth Potter FAA Senior Parachute Rigger Tactical Delivery Instructor (Jeddah, KSA) FFL Gunsmith Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
