Anyway, keep your head up, hit the job boards, and NETWORK, NETWORK, NETWORK.

Sorry to hear that Deb
The whole country is bad, but Michigan is terrible.
I have heard it said that when one door closes another opens; I hope you find it soon.

Aw ****e!
Years ago I lost my job at Gordon Food Service. I thought the world had ended but it actually was a good thing in the long run. I grew and learned so much more in my other careers since then.
Hmmmm, wanna make me a good deal on a red C5? It's already got Borlas too!

Thanks everyone
The Condo will go before RC so no deals on C5s with Borlas today 
Lets just hope the job situation turns around for everyone. If anyone is hiring they get 5000 apps for one job. You are right you got to find that one network job that isnt made public

I've been out of work for about six months now and have had very little success-very few phone calls, a few interviews, but no luck so far.I sincerely hope that all of you who have been "axed" have a better go of things than I.

This is as bad as i've seen it in 30 years in Chicago. Cant believe the company i work for is still afloat. Down to working a couple days a week if lucky. And i am lucky. This will turn around, hopefully soon.
Good luck to everybody out there looking for work. We need the Olympics here in Chi town, but something tells me we ain't gonna get them.

it'll be fine, i think we're just in a "reset" where individuals and businesses are paying for living over their means, all of the skilled workers worthy of being on someone's payroll will be back in action once this blows over (hopefully soon)... back to basics
