[Blackout]

Sorry to hear that! It seems the Jobless is contagious, lots of people right now are without work.

[redfirepearlgt]

Real sorry to hear that. Been there twice before myself. The first time was 9 months after buying my first house. Hopefully you have gained enough experience to quickly land a job elsewhere soon. Have faith fellow stanger. There are more people praying for hard working folks like you without jobs who are looking hard for work than you could ever begin to imagine (I pray for those like you after giving thanks for still having a job every night I sit down to a meal). Hope the thought of knowing that helps a bit as you try to rest at night. I have truly felt your pain and walked in your shoes two times over.

Sorry to hear that Jake... hopefully its just short term and he calls you back in.

[NXcoupe]

[bobtsgt]

[Goldenpony]

Sorry to hear that Buddy. Good luck finding something better.

[Goober]

Sorry to hear that, make sure you get your unemployment started.

[heyitsmepugsley]

idk what kind of work you do or id this will even help but i heard midas in mainville is looking for like 3 people. good luck.

[Goober]

Have you called the bank that your truck is thru? Some banks will work with ya if you get laid off and you tell them right away. They'll probably let you make intrest only payments til you become employed again. Remember, they will gladly take the money over the repo headache.

[duststang]

put in applications right away don't wait. most companies will not even consider you for employment if you have been out of work for any length of time.

Very true! The long period can be seen as someone that is not employable and then they don't want to take the chance.

Only exception is a long break due to going back to school.

Hang in there. I lost my job on august 4th but have since realized it was a blessing in disguise. A lot of good people on this board can be a great resource.

Enquirer's parent company (Gannett) just announced they intend to cease production in Cincinnati in the 4th Qrt. of 2012. So 23 yrs and poof. So I'll be joining that list.

I was at my job for 15 years. Started there straight out of highschool. They closed the doors a year and half ago. I had worked my all the way up to super visor. Did the unemployment thing for 10 months then a good friend got me a job. Main thing is dont let it u down. Keep positive thoughts. It will work out.

[untame]

Had my job for 28 years. company got bought by the competition and got shut down in June. Started by hanging parts on a paint line. I made it up to supervisor for 40 employees

[turbo]

if yu have a degree and a resume prepared, send it my way. I work for a financial firm, and we are in a huge hiring phase. You don't need a degree in finance or business, just a basic college degree

[mustang_gt88]

I think my company is hiring, its OPW-ES in lebanon.

[06V6Andrew]

yeah i got lid of from my job i have been at or 5 years. Made it up to team leader over 23 people (dwindled down to about 10 before i was let go) and was able to find a job within 3 weeks of my layoff. I used Careerbuilder.com and worked out great. throw your resume there...it worked for me!

[cobrajoe]

thanks man Im going to go back to school unemployment is going to pay enought to keep the payments up on the f150 and Im selling a bunch of stuff to get the credit cards off my back and since im going to school im going to get back on my mom and dads insurance it will be tight for a wile but worth it

[bestracing]

Good to hear that you're going back to school. It's never too late to learn. My wife has gone back to school after she got laid off. They held her to a no compete clause she had signed so she couldn't seek a job in the field that she was in. Still she was tired of it and wanted a new career.

Money's tight but I know it will be well worth it in the end.
