I never knew there was a hail season!Malik23 wrote:
But I was very far from home, and missed the family terribly. After four months, things started slowing down so I quit. Now I'm once again just a guy with a useless philosophy degree and a dream of getting published. I got my A+ and Network+ certifications (might get my MCSE, too) so I would have a computer career to fall back on. [Any tips from High Lord Tolkien or Esmer would be appreciated!] It's a little depressing thinking about going to Best Buy or Circuit city for an entry level position in PC repair after my experience in Gulfport. My roofing company is going national, and hail season is starting up. It's really tempting to get back in it.
I've been job hunting for a few months now.
Not that I want to leave where I am but the business has been horrible.
Too bad, best place I've ever worked at too!
Malik, do you have any experience in IT or have you just been teaching yourself on the side?
The days of anyone with with just a cert getting a good job is over.
I hope you've embraced www.monster.com
On the job search page just highlight the region of the stae you want to work in and then choose "date" for revelance.
This will give you a huge list but moster is technical oriented so it's not all junk.
Doing it this way will ensure that you don't miss anything(but will take longer to scroll through everything).
If you just choose "computer hardware" for instance, you might miss something you'd like that was posted under "medical IT" or something.
Not every employer that posts under Monster knows what section to put it in!
If you want to email me your resume I'll check it out for you if you want.
I've had a few classes on resume creation.
Coverletters too.
Or I'll send you mine and you can use it as a template.
And when you say "family" do you mean "wife and kids" or just "mom and dad"?
Because if I was making $500 to $3000 dollars a day doing something I loved I'd kiss my parents goodbye and move the wife and kids!!
If I were you I'd try to do both.
Roof sales on the weekends IT during the week.
Wait, dude, is this a joke?
You make that much money a day doing something that you love that has extreme flexibility and you don't know what to do?
