taking a partial break from the job search today to make a small amount of money and get ready for the belated annivesary trip to Leavenworth on Sunday. Yesterday was really good and very encouraging. I drove all over the the Puget Sound and dropped off 4-5 resumes. At one place in Puyallup I got to fill out an application and talk to the head of ( Read more... )

I feel like I have wasted a whole week of job searching....even though its not. The reason I say this is because I decided to open the phone book and start at 'A.' In 9-10 calls, I got three companies looking for or possibly looking for electricians. Maybe its just a good coincidence, but I will take it. SO I am to going get my info to them ( Read more... )

I have an interview this afternoon with an electrical contractor...thats exciting. I hope I can get the job.

MOre job searching today...I called the lead my bro gave me this morning but he wasn't available. SO I am going to try tommorrow morning and maybe I can catch him.

Going on 7 days with out a job but I am optimistic however. I found a few on craigslist that look promising or at the very least I am qualified for. SO, we will see...My dad helped me out with some work yesterday so that will help a bit. Anything is good at this point ya know? it sucks because everybody is slow right now...now just me. I am ( Read more... )

Bleh....another day another lost job. Yep that's right worked slowed up with Jon and he had to relucantly let me go.

SO here I am unemployed again for the second time in 4 ( Read more... )

I hear through the grape vine (aka steve pool, walter kelly or that hot blonde chick on chanel 7) that we are supposed to get dumped on tonight. I think that is awesome for one because snow is awesome and I haven't gotten a chance to go sledding or anything. To be perfectly fair though, its a really dry snow and its hard to stick together, so ( Read more... )

its snowing...crazy. I'd write more but I am starving and I need to eat.

I start my new job tomorrow. I think this will work out...i hope. All I have to do is my best and get through the end of the year and hopefully get into the apprenticeship program asap. I am just grateful this opportunity came along when it did. I know that I could go back to REinhart any time, but it doesn't help me if they aren't busy. SO I ( Read more... )

Seems I quit Reinhart Electric just as everybody else who wasn't slow got slow...So after a very busy month things dried up dramatically and they couldn't afford to keep three ( Read more... )
