Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1109 Registered: Apr-07 | It'll work out, good luck. I worked at a store once where a certain employee was about to get fired. EVERYONE knew beforehand except her, and the manager knew her b/f drops her off and then leaves all day. The manager waited till she was about to clock in and then told her she was fired. The woman had to wait hours after using a payphone to call the guy back. Places do some shtty things, but it's just business. |

Silver Member Username: Stateprop486PA Post Number: 457 Registered: Jan-08 | I worked at this company called Touchstone Wireless, they have i think they are located in 4 or 5 states. They have an contract with Alltel and they refurbish cell phones. I was an Qaulity Assurance inspector, inspecting the comestics and functionality of the phones to see if they pass to be shipped out to customers. It was an easy job makin $10 per/hr sitting down. They moved all the ELM work to texas location because thats what Alltel wanted. So they are tryin to bring in an secondary contract with verizon or sprint...and they said when they have that accomplished they would call me back along with the other employees. But thanks again guys. http://www.touchstonewirelesslp.com/ |

Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 13867 Registered: Jun-06 | Most everyone has something they do on the side to help with the loose ends. Me, I sell a bunch of stuff on the side. In fact I have yet another delivery of knives coming tomorrow. I sell them at the local mart on the weekends for extra $$. Other stuff as well. This past order was 219 pcs for $219. Yup. $1 each. Then I sell them for $3-$4 each. I can't retire but it's fun and helps pick up the slack during those times in need. |

Go out and look in random places. Country clubs, stores in your mall, lowes, home depot. Places like that. I put in 9 applications the day I got let off and about 2 weeks later, someone called me back. Just keep looking its out there. I have my final job interview set up tomorrow but Im not sayig where.

Silver Member Username: Kpa2727Post Number: 938 Registered: May-07 | true thanks marc, repen my parents had the same deal but were able to find companys with simular things and adapted, the best thing i learned from my parents is go hunting now as with my case the longer u wait the worse it looks to the employer. i had bank job nailed then they seen how long i was out of work. plus my dads insurance wore thin so i'm toothless in my bottom front row i only got fangs on the bottom so i learned pretty well to talk with no lisp anymore but the bitcch is when u go to a interview and try to hide it. i have a feeling a few interviews went belly up due to it. no discrimination my azz. |

|
Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 2171 Registered: Mar-06 | I hate when people do stuff like that Noel. Its not something to brag about. Taking money from people who pay taxes while you have a job that you arent paying taxes on. Thats a fucked up thing to do man and anyone with a good head on their shoulders should be able to see that. If you really cant find a job and are actually looking hard, unemployment is fine but when you steal money from the tax payers, its an a$$hole thing to do. Hope I didnt piss you off but if I did, oh well. People like you piss me off |
