I need to start looking for a job. Thinking of something like CNC, but have no experience. Anyone know how physical it is? From what I've read it seems to vary per workplace. With my arthritis problems my work possibilities are narrowed, so trying to figure something out.

The CNC machining I did was very easy, non physical work. We did only make pipe fittings though.

Sounds like it depends on the place. I'm just trying to come up with some stuff. I have a list of "at home" jobs but they are all simple part time stuff. Amazing in this day there aren't a lot of varied work at home jobs. Most jobs that use computers could be work at home. I think I may have "finished" where I am, guess I should have pushed for medical retirement when I had the chance. I should know soon. If they don't boot me out I'll be on the brink, after they decided to use the nearly max punishment the first time there I did anything "wrong" (coworkers were actively allowed to do the EXACT same thing for years), they have no where else to go, but over the cliff.

Maybe I should start a You tube channel called "random crap". About random crap.

Flexjobs.com has lots of great at home positions. You pay $30 for a year but it's well worth it.

They are dragging this out, haven't heard anything yet, probably because it's spring break here and many people are on vacation. But I knew of a guy that seemed to have committed a felony on the clock, and they let him work 4 more days before showing him the door. Seriously

It was on the news this morning they were on the hunt for a woman, they had been getting multiple reports of a "crazy woman " pulling a gun at random people in random places, they finally got a name and got her picture in the news......And....

Officials said Madison Dickson opened fire on police. Officers fired back, but they don't believe anyone was hit.

Dickson was then hit by a patrol car.

Police confirmed before 3:30 p.m. that Madison was killed.

Look in the pics, she was near a playground, looks like the Cop was thinking fast and smart.

Glad she's gone.

Found an interesting job, you basically just need to be computer literate and teachable, they will train you to operate a custom program for a health system, and to build and maintain it for them. Pay wildy varies, but looked up the position at sites(it's a custom tailored program by each company that uses it, but used in the industry at other places) and it varies by company from an amount I can live to to more than I make now, and with experience gained, up 50% more at higher level positions. (Which are basically the same job but more responsibility)

Think I'll apply. Can't hurt, even though I still have a job. I'd happily leave it before I'm forced to.

SnakeEyeSS · March 20, 2017

Anyone here in or have been a position where they review applications for employment(or experience with it?

I need opinions. Filling out the application, it has a section for reason for leaving current employer. PM me please. I'm being very honest(a better worded version of "it's horrible there"), and not sure how it will come across.

What's the position?

Job applications greatly vary based on industry. A lot of companies only want a single page resume. Most online systems unless explicitly stated will automatically deny an application if it comes through the system as two pages. I would try to contact the companies HR department and see what they prefer. Or message a HR rep for them if they are on LinkedIn. If you don't have LinkedIn make one.

Edit: Also feel free to PM me I'd be happy to help. And don't be too honest in your resume. For reason for leaving just say that you have grown your current position and there is no more opportunity for you to grow with the company. And don't be afraid to Google stuff such as key phrases, good words to use, etc.

Seeking new opportunities. And good luck! Don't quit your current job until you have something new promised to you. I quit my last job back in June and I am struggling to find good work again. May have to go to work at the Home Depot just to get by $11.00 an hour is a huge change from $75,000 a year.

A long time ago(8 years?) my wife was promised a job(it was basically something she already had 5 years experience, but happened to be at a place literally 4 blocks from our house(made a promise she could be there no matter the weather or roads), but was told it could be a month because they were just bought out and were having to go through a new hiring process through their parent company. She's still waiting.....

A month before I was hired at my current job thier acquisition by a fortune 500 company had just began. There was 6 weeks between me accepting the job and my first day.

I can't figure out if I want to punch or hug whatever moron tried burning down the UPS Hialeah hub. Lots of added BS but lots of OT because of it too since we're picking up their slack. Extra 30k+ packages a day. Thankfully they are the smallest of the the 3 hubs in Florida. If Jax went down I wonder how screwed we'd be in Orlando lol

SnakeEyeSS · March 21, 2017

I think it's(my thing) being drug out to benefit from my experience for major stuff going down soon. Sounds like a good idea to quit so they don't get the satisfaction.
