Any updates?

[black2002ls]

Nothing yet. Followed up via email and got an out of office auto reply. It gave a one week window so I assume he is on vacation this eeek or in an outlying market. Explaining why he said it would be two weeks notice. I am not worried yet, much past next wednesday and I will be concerned. Glad it is taking a little longer as I pissed off my back last Friday doing the brakes on my truck.

That they do! They are a big company with mom n pop values. They strive to make sure they hire the person they feel fits the company, their needs, and their values

Just talked with my source inside the company just stopped by the store and had some info for me. I impressed the VP but I didn't floor him. I am not out of the hunt for the job, however they have begun interviewing more applicants. Hopefully they will call me this week and put some kind of end to this. I will be putting in more apps starting tonight. I am not sure how much longer my sanity can survive at $9.50 an hour and the petty problems of my adolescent and tweenybopper work force bring in the front door every day. Open to close and the only manager here all weekend, I may be lucky to have both a job and a full crew by the time it is over

I appreciate it. I am seriously considering paying someone to re-write my resume or hiring a head hunter. In the 6 years since college this has been the only decent opportuniy that I have been able to dig up. I am very obviously doing something wrong.

Location would be my guess.

That is part of the equation. There have been a few stints of time when I wasn't willing to move out of my immediate area. At one time I had over 75 apps in with various companies all over the nation. Most of the apps I have put in in the last 3 months (90%+) have been in the greater DF/W area

It may be way out there and not interest you at all, but have you considered the military? You've already got a degree, being an officer is a possibility and I don't know what it's like as far as recruiting right now but there are tons of options available. I don't have a degree but make pretty decent money all because of what the military has opened up for me. Just an idea, I know it's not for everyone, but I haven't met many people who regret joining.

I have. I had a good friend from high school try to convince me to join in late 2007 because I was having trouble finding a job with my degree. I only have a couple of options as I will be 30 this year.
I actually had this conversation with my girlfriend a few weeks ago. If it weren't for my back (7 months post op and having some issues) I would already be talking to a Navy recruiter (physics degree would transfer well to nuclear). Right now, I am fairly certain that I couldn't physically handle the load

Something to think on. If you think your back wouldn't handle the load of full time military, what about reserves or national guard? Part time and it looks good on a resume.

I have kicked around the idea, I am still not sure I can handle it at this point. I put myself out of commission last friday (read laying in bed sat and sun taking flexeril twice a day) by doing a full break job on my s-10. No heavy lifting, just a couple of hours hunched over the spindles
