Southern California - Dang, I'm officially in between jobs.

Things have been slow for a couple of months, but in the last month it has been dead...so, they pulled the trigger on me. I've wanted to get out of there for quite awhile and they knew it (we talked about it), so I was the logical choice. I hate looking for a job. Wish me luck.

awwww... that sucks.

Good luck Ralph!

What do you do?

What kind of work are you in?

Sorry to hear about your job.

Bummer but don't worry too much Ralphie Boy! My job was slowing too making Boeing parts. I saw an ad on Sunday, applied on Monday, interviewed on Tuesday, physical on Wednesday and now just wating for the call. Funny, I liked the place I work for but now a threat of layoffs so I applied not thinking much about it!

At the interview, found out the job is much easier. No dealing with customers, cert requirements, etc. They called me cause of my extensive QC background. Now I'll be kicking it doing a little production and a little QC, but ez stuff.

Same money but better benefits! More vacation, sickpay, and a few more. Plus the hours are biker friendly. 5-1:30. When the electric company cracks down on them, 3-12:00/ I got the rest of the day to ride and whatever!:D...OH, last jopb was 5 miles formhome. This one is 4.5, plus the route to work is biker friendly unlike the present one! I just might look into a cheap commuter now!:D

Things usually work out of the best!:thumb:

Hope you find a new job soon, Ralph.

Thanks all, I'm a drafter...

Do you use CAD? My wife hears about jobs for "CAD Specialist" from time to time in both interior and exterior architecture.

Thanks all, I'm a drafter...


I noticed that on our ride together!:D

Well good for you, Ralph. You wanted to go and now you're gone.

Must mean that there is something better in store for you.

I noticed that on our ride together!:D

Well geez, Beanz...who wouldn't draft off you? :)

Same thing happened to me last month. Then I started my own business :)

Good luck on your search.

Good luck in the search! There are many jobs out there, and you will land one that better suits your talents... PM me for job search info...

I spent a few months out of work, then landed a job that I hated... but today I started at the new job and I cannot speak more enthusiastically about the first day!!!! It was GREAT!!!

I hope so Beanz, they're giving me a months pay plus whatever vacation I had left, so I have a little time...of course, if I wait, that 4 weeks will go fast. So I'll take tomorrow off to get my truck worked on and then get after it on Monday!

I noticed that on our ride together!:D

Hey, sorry about that, I really didn't mean too...:rolleyes:

awwww... that sucks.

Good luck Ralph!

Now come on, we promised not to talk politics.:D

Thanks all, I'm a drafter...

OMG :eek: Don't draft me! I'm too old!


I've done my share of job hunting. It sucks, but hang in there.

Ralph, if you don't mind the drive to Glendale, give Glenair Inc. a chance. We're snatching up engineers up as quickly as possible...and since you're familiar with AutoCAD, you'd be able to do some of the work. Trust me, we're always hiring.

Hope you find something soon Ralph.

My sister-in-law's husband was handed the pink slip just yesterday. Times are tough everywhere.

sorry to hear about that, alot of companys are in that same boat. Alot of order have been pushed out, farther and farther.

Good luck on the search, us drafters/designers are always needed. I use Solidworks though.
