I need to find a new job in the DE area....any thoughts?? Job market blows right now....

**Zapper2003** · 12-02-2008, 03:32 PM

Move to an area that doesn't suck? I mean, whats Delaware's tourism catch-phrase? Come here and be so bored you'll actually appreciate how much less-bored you were at home?

**TransAm11973** · 12-02-2008, 04:51 PM

haha DE is boring....true but in a good location, near the beach, philly, newyork etc.. hows life in millerton?

**Zapper2003** · 12-02-2008, 07:06 PM

what job skills do you have, being that we got the "delaware sucks" out of the way. Any blue collar skills? Computer skills? Job experience? My advice is stay away from car dealers these days. Theres no money there anymore

**TransAm11973** · 12-03-2008, 01:20 PM

yea i run a mechanical terminal for a rail road company....we do mechanical inspections and repairs on rail cars used to transport new vehicles across the country....i work at the chrysler plant in DE(contracted by them) and its being shut down at the end of this month.....I am a cert. welder and certified in structural inspections and manage a mechanical terminal so I am good with anything mechanical haha..I have a degree in psychology....but decided not to go into it

**Zapper2003** · 12-03-2008, 01:23 PM

Goddamn, based on credentials and work experience alone you should be fired right to upper management designing, assembling, and inspecting burgers in the fast food industry!

Kidding aside. Around here anyhow, there are actual local employment seekers, they usually offer a free service but they are basically a walk-in monster.com. The local one here is called twintiershelpwanted.com. not that my locals help you, but its a place to look, maybe there are some in the yellow pages.

Theres probably work for you in NYC

**TransAm11973** · 12-03-2008, 02:39 PM

true but i really dont want to move right now thats my other problem

**Hi-Po** · 12-03-2008, 06:02 PM

Put your resume out there man, sounds like you have enough to fill a couple lines on a resume.

Cant expect to find a job if you dont make a good resume up, ya kno? Good luck

**TransAm11973** · 12-03-2008, 06:04 PM

yeah thats another problem...i have a great resume and I have sent out more resumes than I can count......only got one reponse....horrible market

**Hi-Po** · 12-03-2008, 06:08 PM

Yea I here ya man, When I grad "college" I sent out 60 resumes... some to places I never planned to work at actually. Its funny how you can find a job sometimes. I was out of school for 6 months and Caterpillar called me, I never planned on working for them. It just worked out that way, I sent my resume out to enough places, and one got a hit.

I have now worked for Caterpillar for 3 years and am planning on quiting in a month or two to go back to school. Then I will probably be making a thread like this asking for a job.

**Zapper2003** · 12-03-2008, 06:45 PM

friggin potter county sucks my asshole. It really shouldn't be called "God's Country", rather, it should be "God's joke to Pennsylvanians, its the most remote, rediculously depressed asshole of the world!"
