Lost my job, looking for a new one!

[Ph03niX]

I was a headlight restorator for a Longmont dealership and they decided to have their detailer take over what I was doing to save money.

I'm fully experienced in restoring headlights and have been doing it for 8 months. I was Valedictorian of my class and have a high work ethic. Honesty, customer service, and hard work are my priorities.

Work experience.
3 months as a Security Officer for Securitas with Haliburton.
8 months as a cashier/bagger for Safeway.
4 months as a Sales rep for Pacsun.
7 months as a Dollar Store assistant manager/cashier.

I have never been fired, only laid off/had to leave to military training.

I have a Security Clearance as well since I'm an IT specialist for my unit in the Army Resere.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks for the offer man! Unfortunately I'm an hour and half away :/

[madvlad]

Bummer dude, definitely not worth the drive with gas prices and what not. If I hear of anything in that area I'll post up

[rifleshooter]

It's a tough market right now, but it's loosening up. You will likely find a job soon.

Have you thought about a career? How is your education? You might think about working in the gas and oil industry; it's raging business in Weld County and it pays really well, but the work is hard.

If you're interested, you might look at Noble Energy; they have an office in Greeley and are probably seeking people.

He didn't really lose it, he knows where it is... It's just that when he goes there, there's somebody else doing it!

:lol: extra points if you can tell me the stand up comedian who said this... no googling!

Telling someone not to google something via the Internet is like saying "hey kid I'm gonna go in the other room so dont eat any of these cookies".

Yeah I'm getting my general classes right now before i transfer to CSU for mechanical engineering. Yeah I would have no idea where to even start for a oil/gas job! Sweet I'll take a look.


What type of IT are you trained in?
Military.. IE Routers, switches, Ip address, mac address, SEC+, CCNA, A+, configuring with commands, cabling, etc. There's a lot more but that's the just of it.

Hmm that's interesting! I'll give it a try!

Yeah I've heard of them, I just don't think they can help very much. Do they really set you up with what you're looking for?

[Ghosty]

I'll keep your name in mind if I hear of people needing headlight restoration. Let me know your pricing for a set. Post up on CRN (ColoradoRacing.com) IF you do that as a side-business. No need to pay for sponsorship. ;)

[j0ker]

There are a ton of network and security jobs out there. If you have sec clearance you have an even better chance of getting in the door.

PM me if you got a resume you feel like sharing.

If you have a CCNA, there's no reason you cant have a job by the end of the week

Where is the +1 button?!

[Ghosty]

Make sure it's the latest or recent CCNA, the actual HARD one, not the easy shit from 10+ years ago (like mine is, lol). Luckily I already have a job, but if I wanted to find another, I'd need to redo my CCNA & CCDA. My MCSE is long expired, but I wouldn't do that again unless I was going into the I.T./Dev./DB side of things. Do you have that?

Well I took those classes but I dont have the certifications. I'd definately have to brush up in order to pass those.

I'm actually thinking about workin at my buddies Nissan Dealership.
I don't care for computer jobs even though I know that's where the money is at. I dont know what to do :/

[moep]

I have a friend looking for a guy for entry level in IT but he is also down south. No Cert required.

Just please don't list "mac address" on your resume. ;)

I work at the Isle Casino In Black Hawk- i know we have an IT part time position available. http://www.islecorp.com/careers-jobs.aspx here are all the postings

[Dietrich_R1]

Try a "Couple" IT recruiters. Definitely look for the ones who focus on military experience!

It might be painful & a PITA. You'll start low scale, but then build "civilian" experience. Then you start to network w/ more recruiters & the more experience the better the jobs.

Trust me man, the auto industry is not where you want to end at man. It is crap, I've been fucked for 9 years and wasted it all. Just cause you may not know what to do doesn't mean that you're not good for it. I'm going back to school for IT cause I'm sick of the auto industry and though I'm no expert in IT but if I set my mind to it I'll learn the shit lol

I don't even know where to start on that one! And I've never heard of an IT recruiter.. Hmm ill have to look it up.

Really? I mean I'm on my computer a lot but I don't think it's my passion.. I'll take your word for it though. I need to focus on the lifetime career jobs!

Thanks everyone!

You would be surprised what you end up in.

I went to school for criminal justice. I had planned on being a cop.

I went to finance instead (Mortgage Loan Officer).

My wife has a degree in history, planed to go on to the law school (still might happen but we want kids now). She's a mortgage underwriter.

My point is you would be surprised at what your good at but you have to try a bunch of things to find out what you like (and more importantly what you don't like).

[madvlad]

Just a suggestion man but up to you. Working on cars is my passion but due to the dishonesty and the way of the business it's just not for me. Doing service writing now obligated cause I have 4 mouths to feed at home or else I would've called it a while sgo. Too much work for nothing.

Yeah my best friend (girl) wanted to be in the FBI forever.. Once she got into college she changed to being a nurse xD.

I went to school for computer science back in the day. I hated computer and did not want anything to do with them. I dropped out of school and went back to working in a restaurant. Long story short - I have being in IT since 1985. I am not an certified expert in a specific part of IT (just ask J0ker :) ) but more of an all around person in IT. In a nutshell, I know enough to do a lot in IT but also know when to bring in a consultant. I break it and fix it. If I can't fix it, I always have a great backup plan.

Life will always take you in different direction. If it didn't it would be a very boring life.

The main thing in life is not to burn bridges. I still keep in touch with co-workers/friends back from the restaurant days to my current job (once again just ask J0ker).
