You would think that not having to get up and go to work sit at home and get paid would be the life....
To be honest it really sucks. I have worked every day since I was 15 and I am ready to go back to work... Here is my list of applications: Scotts / outside sales rep. Ga Power / truck operator Charter Comm. / headend tech Chapel Mapping / gps locator Griffin PD / officer Griffin FD / firefighter first responder Gwinett PD / officer Clayton PD / officer McDonough PD / officer GA Forestry / forest ranger 1 Kens Foods / bulk receiving Carolina Handling / tech CCC Systems / automotive data input tech Not even one phone call back... |
| I was a manager at my parents autobody repair shop long story short they sold out and retired the new owners (gerber collision) said they would no longer need my services so now I am not sure where to go or what to do. I really want to get a job at a police dept. But i have 10+ years in autobody repair management,parts,qc and customer service. |

A covered job @ Ga Power is a hard gig to get unless you have family or friends in high places within the company .
I worked in substation construction as a WTO for two or three years when I was fresh out out of college. There are those rare times when I wish I was still drawing a check from GPC but then I come to my senses. They were overly political correct to a fault and that was over 20 years ago. I can only imagine what it must be like today. Good luck...!!!!!!! TD |

Foreman.. I am sorry for your situation. I have been laid off about six years ago. I had three months with no pay and my wedding was coming up in four months. So I was really stressed out. I know you will find something good very soon. I will keep an ear open for opportunities for you.
If you get over to the Alpharetta/John's Creek area, let me know and I will buy you a beer. |

I got "released" from my previous job (kind of a mutual split really, but for economic reasons I didn't really want to leave at that time, they just had enough of me I guess) and ended up taking another gig driving further than I was at my last job, making less money, with a worse benefits package.
Really humbled me up. I didn't realize how good I had it. 
In the pursuit of getting back to a position similar to what I had before, dude, I don't envy you guys without a job right now. I'm not making shit (I honestly could make about the same money, maybe a little less on unemployment right now), but it's something and I'm not under huge pressure to find another job other than I'm unsatisfied with where I am right now. Good luck and godspeed, y'all. |

Some of the Tech schools offer lineman courses. It's hard work but there are jobs. One of my brothers has been doing this for almost a year now. Georgia Power is redoing all of the lines around Savannah, so there is a ton of contract work.
Something to consider. |

We are hiring all the time it is about $12-13 I think . I work in a different department . Smyrna and Norcross or Macon. You lied when you hired me... You told me I would get issued a gun and a Segway if I hired on with your company and I got neither 
Some day I will find a job that will satisfy both of my greatest obsessions. TD |

I also imagined leather tassels hanging off the grips of the Segway along with a little bling and some 22's. With Derek's $$$ and Red Jacket's skill the options are limitless!!! TD |
