Rough times
My wife lost her job today and I've been without one for a year now (what's up with companies letting people go right before holidays?). We'll be ok for a few weeks, but we'll need jobs fast to not get behind on bills. If you know about anything, please let me know. In the meantime, I'm pretty good with the wrench, got my own tools, I can do/help with most auto related stuff. Wife is great with kids (babysitting), cosmetics, cleaning...
Looking for a job sucks!

****.
I'll keep my eyes open.
I wish I could pay you to do work (teach me how) to Rhino but I don't have the $ I'll let karla know to look too.
You guys hang in there. Please give Lisa a hug from us.
Re: Rough times
Bad news. Sorry to hear that, Kubo.
Are you all looking for anything in particular, job-wise?
Re: Rough times
I believe Securitas is still hiring in both the Aurora branch and the Fort Collin's branch. The Fort Collins branch has many sites down in the Boulder/Broomfield area. Aurora is more Denver area
Re: Rough times
that sucks. let us know what kind of work you are looking for.
Re: Rough times
Dang Kuba, sorry to hear that. I will keep you guys in my prayers.

im really sorry:( . ill keep my ears open.
Re: Rough times
sucks man
Re: Rough times
That really sucks. I think that it's just dirty and unnecessary of companies to do that around the holidays. Please post up or PM me your and your wife's skillsets, the company I work for in Boulder will be expanding, I can't guarantee anything but we will be hiring a lot of people in the next few years.
Re: Rough times
Yep, please post your skills and what you want to be doing. I attend multiple networking events every week which have been very helpful. I am also very involved on LinkedIn which has led to interviews.
In case you are interested, I interviewed with a call center for a company Convergys. They are at I-70 and Peoria. Will be hiring more candidates. $12 per hour with hours anywhere from 6AM to 6PM. Beats a poke in the eye, but certainly not great wages. I also have leads into other potential jobs if I can get an idea of what might fit.
Re: Rough times
Thank you all for your sympathy. Chris, great idea with the employment section! I have posted my resume on there (http://www.frontrange4x4.com/forums/...ead.php?t=7614). At this point, I don't really have much of a choice as to where I would like to work, but it does need to pay enough that I can feed my family and afford to move out of my mother in law's house. If possible, I'd like my wife to be able to stay at home (or at the most get a P/T job) as I've been at home (with my daughter) since January. I'll make Lisa get her resume ready and I'll post that in a day or two.
I will go out next week to get applications and look for a job. If nothing else, I'll just have to get something to keep us afloat til I can find something good. I don't wanna be picky, but I also don't wanna get screwed over. Thanks again and keep em coming guys
Re: Rough times
I am sorry to hear this. I will keep looking around.
Re: Rough times
I looked at your resume and would be surprised if you couldn't find some SpEd work again, typically they have a horrific times finding reliable people. I know the pay sucks though. Good luck in your search!

Re: Rough times
There's also awesome school grants out there if you want to try to get into a new field. People who are unemployed are probably eligible for the most. When I finished school, my GI bill payed the mortgage and the Army Reserves paid my tuition. The Army money hurt my eligibility for grants. You might be able to get grants for tuition and room/board.
Re: Rough times
Srroy to hear the bad news... I'll keep my eyes open for you
Re: Rough times
Sorry to hear that! I have no idea why companies do that either. Losing my job last year was my Christmas bonus/present, too. I did get a turkey and a bottle of wine, but still no foreplay or a kiss before I got F***ed...
