I was just told that I will be layed off July 1st.

Unfortunatly there job market is terrible right now for my expertise. There was an article in Sunday's Freepress about a person in my proffession that is layed off , he has been valeting cars. I've been looking for about a month now with no luck, I keep getting the same answer, "I will hire you in a heartbeat as soon as we get work"
It's going to be a long hard summer, hopefully I can find something under the table , I would hate to sell the boat !

BUMMER!!

I understand your troubles.
My wife was layed off last September and just now got a job at UPS through a temp service. She couldn't find work on her own.
I've been looking for part-time work too but haven't had any luck. You'd think with all the tourism around here I wouldn't have any trouble. NOT!!

Good luck. Hope it doesn't take too long.

I have a different problem!

I am a mechanical contractor.
I can't find any QUALIFIED help.
The union just upped the package to 40.47/ hour.
Air conditioning/refrigeration service tech.

Thanks guys for all the replies.
I agree that usually things end up working out for the best.

Baja29c,
I here the same thing from some of my business owner friends, one owns a marine repair shop and it took him two years to find someone decent. Hopefully he can put me to work !!

1boatnut ,
How do you do it ?!?!? I'm freaking out because I can only last maybe 2-3 months on unenjoyment. After that I'm going to have to start selling stuff.

26 scarab, I,m really sorry to hear about your up coming job situation. In my business I have been there too many times. At least you are getting a warning and with any luck you can find something even better before July comes.Contrary to what obnoxus thinks,last year when I was jobless I lost 20,000 grand in wages and was deemed not eligable for unenjoyment by the state.I guess if there was a bright side I can at least thank the man upstairs that I had a bank account to draw from. (Yes HAD)

I hope it all works out ok. I,ll be rooting for you. Try to keep your spirits up,cause I learned once you are beat up mentally,you are just fuc*in beat.I know it is hard,but try to keep a good mental attitude if at all possible.
If I can do anything,let me know

besides sending you money. I'm un-employed you know
:laugher:

I've actually been looking for work for about three weeks now, I heard rumours about this happening.
Even in the bleak looking automotive designer field , there are some jobs , I've actually gotten a few calls back , nothing solid yet but I'm thinking it should be okay.

Usually these things turn out good.

 

[OldMagicfloat]

hope so buddy. like i said keep the PMA

 

[greeneyedbeacher]

We're all pulling for BOTH of you!

I keep threatening to leave my job since the stress here is making me grow old way too fast, but I hear the job market sucks even for us computer geeks!

Good Luck guys, and keep us posted.

wish you the best, work is hard to find in some fields, keep on rolling
