Laid-off computer guy looking for work...

[SavageEagle]

I know there's some IT guys on here and some guys who would probably know or have a need for someone with their Class C CDL.

I just got laid off from FoxConn where I was a computer repair technician. I have a broad computer background but it doesn't include programming, unfortunately. Unless you count QBaisc...

I also have excellent driving skills as I can drive anything you put me behind the wheel (or stick) of. Trailer, no trailer.

All I'm looking for is a decent job so I'm not going through unemployment. I HATE having to do this because I've never had to in my entire life and I'm hoping I can convince the Army to take me. If they don't I need a back-up plan. The only thing I can find is flipping burgers or loading/unloading semis. I can flip burgers, but it won't support 4 kids, my fiance and me, and i'm not exactly someone who can handle unloading trucks all day everyday. I guess if I have no other choice I'll do it, but I'm appealing to anyone on here who might know of something that might help me out.

All I can find online is stuff that pays $7/h or I need a doctorate degree. Otherwise I'd have to travel farther than I would have the gas for.

If ANYONE has any ideas I'm all ears. I go to the recruiter tomorrow so I can post how it goes. I would think they'd take me but last time I was there it didn't go so well. Anyway, thanks in advance for any help.

I've heard there are a lot of jobs for truck drivers. My father in law is always looking for drivers for his company. It's tough down here finding folks with Toyota so close.

Good luck.

Unfortunatly I don't have a class B or an A. I wish I did, I could drive the shit outta a semi. I can't find much around here for someone with a Chauffers license. I applied with Guarda but that didn't go over well. 4 months of waiting and 4 interviews and polygraph and then nothing. So I'm kinda stuck. I figure people on here might know of jobs that aren't posted anywhere. That's what i'm hoping anyway.

Check with the local hospitals. That is the best lead I can think of.

good luck

THE ARMY WAS FREAKING LAUGHING AT ME!!!!!! I've never been so pissed off in my whole life. All because Hendricks County Sherrifs made a freaking typo they won't fix!!!!! GRRRRRRRR ****ing A*****es!!!! LAUGHING AT ME!!!!!! ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!?!?!?!?!?!

[munky_3434]

have you tried contacting hendricks co, and informing them you are looking to join the service? might motivate them to fix their mistake.

[SavageEagle]

Tried that, got the run around. As in I talked to them, told me they can't fix it, the court has to. Court has correct records, said the sherriff has to fix it. I can't afforrd a lawyer, so it would be kinda hard to clear it up. It was suggested that I write Richard Luger and tell him what's going on and what I was told and how they were laughing at me and see what he says. Which I don't think will be much since he's just a politician. What do you think about doing that? Waste of time and effort?
