They happen in three's

Well it looks like yet anonther two of our members are unexpectedly jobless. Neither one has posted on this board but one did post on another, so I will not mention who until they do.

Let's post if we hear anything, or know of a decent job opening... this is a sucky time of year to have those kinda of worries.

I checked and my company is full in Kansas/Mizzu.

I did hear there where welding jobs at Sunflower in Beloit, but you have to have welding experiance.

Let's find these guys some work, and all have a happy Holiday.

Maybe we could start a "sticky" job thread where members could either post of job openings they know about or inquiries when looking for a job. One of the best ways to find a job is to network with people we know.

Landoll Corp in Marysville is always hiring welders, fabricators, engineers, etc. It's not central but the company keeps on growing.

Beloit Correctional center has adds in the local paper for a maint Supervisor, securtiy people, and a grounds keeper. I heard a rumor that Cessna is looking fo a maintenance Supervisor as well. Fed Ex is looking for route drivers in Wichita. (saw another sign.)

On a side note Roberts truck center has a sign saying they are looking for people, but I heard they are not hiring until April. (and they screwed some people over about hiring as well.)

I have been looking but don't really know what to look for I guess. Been keeping my eyes peeled for something I would like to do, but after working on an ATM this morning at drgs, I might look for something else too. Ok just an idle threat.

Any news?

Yeah, and every time someone piles some more paper work on my desk and wants it dealt with right away, I think surely there is a better way to make a living. Also, on those days when the weather is nice, and I wish I could be outside, I'm stuck behind that desk. Good things and bad things to just about everything. This morning when it was 10 degrees and the wind was blowing, I was glad to be inside.
