Michigans economy is awful right now so much for the motorcity our cars are rarely baught like once before, factorys shutting down every where.. im sick of this crap I feel like doing something .

I will hold you and your family in my prayers Gameover for God to turn this situation around into a positive by providing you with an even better job at much higher pay. I don't know your skills but if you are willing to relocate check out all the major oil company sites online. Skilled labor like wielder, machinists, etc. is always in demand and the pay and benefits cannot be beat. What ever is your choice or situation, may God bless you and your family more abundantly than you can imagine!


P.S.
Give us some idea of your skills so if we hear of any openings we can let you know.

it sounds like you might be in the car building industry... I know Kia is building a plant just north of here in LaGrange, GA, (aka Westpoint fishing!!)

I know they're hiring 4000+ people.

worth looking into.

I'm sorry about your misfortune and hope something good happens quickly. I have no advice except to hang in there, stay positive and make finding your next job your current fulltime job.

Good luck.

Gameover,
I have been in your shoes.  I almost lost everything, I finally went to work for a temp service, until I could actually find a good job... which I did about 2 months later....

Our prayers and well wishes go out to you my friend.

This is a great time of year to get your foot in the door at UPS.

Go HERE for job opportunities.

Somthing to keep in mind is that even with the part-time jobs, your family is covered under your full bennies.  Yup, even at part time.

Many of these 4 hr shofts also allow you to work elsewhere but provide a solid base and bennies for now.

Good luck!

I was in your shoes just a couple months ago. I wound up with a better job both in enviroment and pay.  Everytime a door closes another opens.

I feel for you my friend , I was layed off 2 months ago and also have a family. I have not been unemployed in 20+ years and did not  have a clue as to how to go about a new job search let alone having an updated resume . My friends kept telling me to not worry something better would come along and that every thing happens for a divine reason. After 6 agonizing weeks low and behold I had 2 job offers. I am happier now than before with my new job. The main thing to do as hard as it sounds is to keep your spirits up and keep on trying.

God Bless ,Tony

Thoughts and prayers are with you Gameover. Might want to check options in the Nashville area if you are in the auto industry. Lots of folks from Michigan moved here with Saturn. We also have Nissan, Bridgestone, Ford has had a glass plant here for years. All that has brought alot of related industry. Economy is on the upswing, no income tax, great place to raise kids.

Added bonus.....good fishing with a longer season and for you Michigan folks we have the NHL

PM me if this is an option or if you have any interest, I'll be glad to help in any way I can

[GAMEOVER]

Yeah we were thinkin about relocating to either Texas or Tennessee, my woman loves both places. If we were to locate to either place does anyone think they could get me in somewhere? It would have to be for sure because we really would just pick up and leave. Thanks for all the replys.

          It's alright to vent.sometimes you have to let it all out and then your ok for a little while.we all have been through that one time or another.I know for a fact we had really tough times this year..actuallly I can't wait until this year is over.we lost two love ones in the family and can't sale two properties.plus many other things that went on.all I can say is take one day at a time and things will look brighter in no time.be strong and keep a good postive attitude and you'll be alright.take care.

What are your job skills and work experience?

Without knowing that it would be pretty tough for someone here to be able to hook you up with something.

BTW, when you get that next job and get settled in you may want to investigate furthering your job skills.  Many corporations offer paid tuition for additional schooling.

Its alright guys I shouldnt have asked that on here its my problem, as far as skills etc, on paper I only have a GED. I had to drop college and get a job to support my familly. Ive built computers before, ran a gas station as a manager for weeks at a time unsupervised, and can learn anything on my own with little explanation and fast, so a fast learner/self motivated/ leadership skils. Im going out there now but its cold and I aint talking about the weather.
