Metallurgist.

Job title? Depends on the day. Ditch Digger, Heavy Equipment Operator, Card Player, PLC Programmer, Septic Tank Shoveller, Lead Operator, Net Surfer, Logger, Cookie Eater, Email Warrior, Environmental Tech, Painter, Corporate Spy.

With only 4 other coworkers, a formal job description is pretty meaningless.

Anyone have any hot job leads?

A hot rumor spread in the lower 48 that we would be mining this year. I hated picking up that phone.

SRM, my brother is a geophysicist and has the same problem. The mining industry must be slow everywhere. I hear Homestake is closing down. Maybe Tom Daschle will pay a political price for that one!

I love the Northwest, but the job market up here right now leaves a lot to be desired!

View Quote

The Pacific Northwest is beautiful. I traveled to Portland, OR often when I worked for Evil Enron. I miss it sometimes. The beer was good and the fish and chips weren't bad either. But the job market is bad all over. After being laid off from Enron, I worked a few contract jobs and landed at an oil company for a few months. Then I got let go and I've been unemployed since. Fortunately I've got family down here who are helping as much as they can, but I'd rather be working. Unfortunately, jobs in my field are non-existant now that the .com bust has occurred. I knew it would happen eventually, I just never expected it to be so soon.

Good luck finding a job to the rest of you who are unemployed like me. With time it will hopefully get better.
