FYI - ashley furniture is looking to hire - taking over that Levitz warehouse on mlk and the 95. Heard it on the radio today.

You might want to talk to others who worked there. They're always hiring because they can't keep people. Very abusive management. It's a turn and burn operation. They burn you out so you'll quit before your benefits kick in and get someone to fall in behind you.

No one has a job to offer? if so, it must be a lot worse than I thought! :frown:

 

[SCJeffro]

It is worse than you thought! I just sent out my 286th resume in over a year and can't find anything... To contrast that, up to the point when I got laid off last march, I had never had to send out more than 5 Resumes before I had multiple job offers...

Unemployment is just getting worse and worse... So much for that magic "change" we were promised!

 

[Just Deserts]

Luckily I am scraping by these days, although its still rough going. I never thought I would even want a graveyard shift! I too am sick of submiting job applications, I've placed plenty in some deadend jobs with no results. Job fairs that were a waste of time, low end jobs that never calls you back. Some stuff I am kind of glad they didn't call back. The worm has got to turn soon, this is rediculous! :sosp:

I would be very pleased if this thread secured just one job for someone.

I've met several people that are working more than one job to make ends meet. Funny how some people are out of work or underemployed and others are working multiple jobs. The world is really out of balance! :copbeatdown:

Got this in an email from Carlito's burritos.... great place to eat.

corner of patrick and pecos.

Hi everyone. We are looking to hire a part-time cashier to start this week, so please email me your resumes. Please do not stop in the store expecting to be able to discuss the opening without making prior arrangements to do so (calling in the middle of lunch would also be a bad idea). This job pays $9/hr.

• Must have flexible availability. Initial shifts will be primarily nights and weekends, but there may be other shifts as business demands.
• Must be over 21
• Must already have health and TAM cards
• Fluent English is required, bilingual in Spanish is a plus
• Restaurant server experience is preferred. Although this is a cashier position, you will not only be working the register but serving food, making drinks, cleaning tables, etc.

Actually all the different branches have different cut off ages. Below is what I have found for all the various branches through their individual web pages.

[odesskiy]

Wow, thanks for all the research.

 

[SCJeffro]

NP I had actually bookmarked all those, I was looking at possibly joining the military as I am still out of work. Unfortunately, I am 36 and on the top edge of the physical requirements so I am just outside the range for most branches...

 

[odesskiy]

Unfortunately, I'd probably have to do what Kyle did and get a lapband in order to get into the acceptable height/weight range:lkick:

I am moving in about a month and wanted to put a feeler out there to see if any guys on NS would like to make some money moving my boxes and furniture in and out of the moving truck since I can't do heavy lifting. We are moving a whole house full of stuff so it would be a day or two of work for a couple guys.

Thanks

Any of you guys looking seriously into the military, mainly army, let me know and get you squared away with a good recruiter station. Bunch of great helpful guys that aren't pushy

Front Sight Just Hired 10 Instructors and Looking for More..

Well, we are half way through 2010 and it looks like we will double again for the 14th straight year!

It seems everywhere I look, businesses big and small are cutting back, laying people off, as a result of the economy.

Well, that is NOT what is happening to Front Sight. We are NOT laying anybody off! Just the opposite, we are HIRING!

We are looking for more good men and women as we continue to grow and expand.

Much like in the Marine Corps, where everybody is a rifleman first and then fills other specialty positions, at Front Sight everyone is a firearms instructor first, and then fills other specialty positions.

So Front Sight is looking to hire firearms instructors.

Do you have what it takes to become a Front Sight Instructor?

You may be surprised at what we look for in the people we hire.

Sure, if you are already a retired military or law enforcement instructor we can easily train you technically to become a Front Sight Instructor, but there is much more to being part of the greatest instructional staff in the world than just having firearms experience.

It is through our Instructor Development Program, we CREATE great firearms instructors from GREAT people.

If you are what we are looking for, then we can train you to be a great instructor. If you already have firearms instruction experience, it just makes our job easier.

Click on the video link below to determine if you have the right stuff to become part of the Front Sight Firearms Training Instructional Staff.

If you think you have what it takes, then E-Mail ME Your Resume. (It says in the video to call a number, but you can short cut that process by just e-mailing me your resume.)

And remember while you watch the video that there are REASONS why Front Sight has doubled each and every year through the same obstacles that cause corporate giants to lay off thousands of people.

First and foremost, EVERY member of our staff, from the top of the organization to the most recent hired team member LEADS BY EXAMPLE.

1: We consistently provide our students with an experience that is MORE than they expect.

2: We consistently provide our students with an experience that is BETTER than they expect.

3. We consistently provide our students with GREATER VALUE than they expect.

If you think you too can deliver MORE, BETTER, GREATER and have what it takes to be trained as a Front Sight Instructor, then watch this video and E-Mail ME Your Resume. (It says in the video to call a number, but you can short cut that by just e-mailing me your resume.)

http://www.frontsight.com/video/front-sight-instructors.asp

A full time Front Sight Range Master earns approximately $50,000 per year by imparting the Comfort of Skill at Arms to the law abiding citizens who seek Front Sight's world class firearms training experience.

Numerous part time instructor positions are available as well for those who can dedicate their part-time firearms instruction exclusively to Front Sight.

All training and instructing is conducted on our 550 acre facility near Las Vegas, Nevada.

Click on the video link below to determine if you have the right stuff to become part of the Front Sight Firearms Training Instructional Staff. If you think you have what it takes, then E-Mail ME Your Resume. (It says in the video to call a number, but you can short cut that process
