Does anyone have any leads on decent jobs in the Linville area? I figure I could drive a radius of Boone, Marion, Elizabethton. Any help is much appreciated! What kind of work are you looking for? |

Thanks for the replies! For the past ten years I've been in gunsmithing, but any sort of machine shop operations would be fine.
I have extensive experience in auto mechanics (sold my tools years ago though) and I can handle pretty much anything mechanical. |

Next time your in Boone stop by Grashal Outdoors, Cornbread Tactical, and Extreme Pawn and talk to them about gunsmithing. There's also a place in Foscoe, I forgot the name but it's right on 105 . . . something tactical. There's also a place in Linville between the post office and Citgo. Talk to all these places about gunsmithing. |

GE in West Jefferson is hiring CNC machinist. Might be a little far to drive if you already live south of Boone.
