Job hunting sucks!!!

**redls1** · 10-26-2007, 05:06 PM

Just move to a smaller town outside of nashville and cant find a decent job that pays any money. I left my job of almost 20 years on good terms. Put in atleast 30 apps and only got like 3 calls back. I think I have good interview skills and a resume thats decent put not sure what to do next. Guess Ill have to settle on a job and go from there. I dont want over night shifts and was used to making almost $20 an hour but would be happy with $10 if it was near by and I enjoyed my job. I just got turned down by veriozon which is what I wan ted to do and went and applied for ATT. Any opinions on what to do?

Can you get unemployment in TN? I am on it in KY while job hunting. If it is available to you I would definitely check that out - it's saved my butt!

I quit my job in fl and moved to tn. I am applying for disabilty because of my bipolar but wish I could find a job.

Almost what I did - I moved from FL to KY and I still got my unemployment for KY (because I was a federal job). I know what you mean though.. going from making over $50,000 a year to nothing blows.. I hated my job though.

what part of TN are you in and what kind of job are you looking for?

**redls1** · 10-26-2007, 05:28 PM

Im in murfreesboror and worked for costco for 20 years. I was a supervisor, mangager and certified forklift driver. Im looking for anything that pays atleast $10hr with benefits. Im kinda into electronics. I build my own computer,into home and car audio and cell phones. Thats why I applied for verizon.

maybe you should try some warehouse positions if you can drive a forklift. Federal mogul has a warehouse in smyrna which isn't far from you and i think they pay around 13/hr to start. thats where my stepmoms brother works.

**redls1** · 10-26-2007, 07:24 PM

Ill try and find a website, can you find out how hard it is to get in there?

**dlmeadows** · 10-26-2007, 07:29 PM

I believe they go through kelly services, a temp service, but any certified forklift experience at a place like that is a big plus. I would get a resume prepared and run it by there one day. I don't think it is that hard to get on there but from what i hear it is kind of hard work because you fill orders all day. doesn't sound hard to me but to some it may be lol.

**redls1** · 10-26-2007, 07:46 PM

I have many resumes already made. Ill try and contact some temp services and see what happens.

Use spell check before submitting any resume.

**redls1** · 10-26-2007, 08:00 PM

Yeah I did but after some beers at the house and I just got back from hooters Im doing the bwst I can!!!!

**midi_2001** · 10-26-2007, 08:02 PM

What does that mean "beers at the house"?

**redls1** · 10-26-2007, 08:05 PM

I hadd some coors light my home home and went to hooters for a bite to eat, what else is gonna mean?

**redls1** · 10-26-2007, 08:08 PM

I went to the web site but it only pulls up the address, no way to apply for a job. Maybe Ill drive by and see whats up.

**midi_2001** · 10-26-2007, 08:10 PM

Sorry...no offence. I have beers at home (several) and very occasionally go out for beers (several) but...was wondering about "beers at the house".

**midi_2001** · 10-26-2007, 08:12 PM
