Found out at a company meeting on Sunday that a group of us are going to be Layed off right after the first of the year. While I can go on unemployement and take my kids out of daycare, I would sure rather be working. My employer told us that it will be for 60-90 days, but as we all know there are no guarentees. Anyways I am pretty much willing to do anything but this is what I have done for the last 15 years.
Operations manager for a Household goods distributor. I managed as many as 20 people, did Shipping/receiving, Inventory, HR, AR, material handling,etc. Maintenance - took care of misc repairs, both in a warehouse along with some household repairs at some rentals that my employer owned. Electrical, plumbling, woodworking, etc. Retail sales Anyways, I have a good work history with good references. I have a chunk of misc college education but no degrees. I am in the Fort Wayne area but am willing to travel a little if anyone has any suggestions or help they can provide. Thanks in advance for anyones help. Feel free to pm or email me. Thanks, Matt [email protected] |
Sorry to hear that 
I am somewhat in the same boat. I graduate in 2 weeks and I still have yet to get a job (haven't heard from anyone). If I see anything that might fall in line with your skills I'll try and post it here for you. If one of them interests you I can copy the full description. Off the top of my head some companies to look into would be: AM General (South Bend) Raytheon (moreso Indy) Norfolk Southern (hub in Fort Wayne) Cummins (Columbus) Here is a list of the "best" places to work in IN 2008 Best Places to Work Jobs: Assistant Operations manager (Rich Connell AGRI-SEARCH) |

Go to indeed.com and do a few searches. Good web site goes out and crawls all over the job sites and employer sites as well. I just found my new job using it.
I just did this search: Distribution / Ft. Wayne Indiana Saw this: Looks like a place called Tuthill Transfer Systemns could use you. |

Thanks for the heads up. I will have to check that out.

I feel for you I still have a job but am only going to get 30.5hrs every other week. I will have to draw unemployment for the other week. I am thinking about picking up a part time job instead but even if I work as many hours as I can every week I doubt I can make more than unemployment will pay.
If anyone knows of anything in the Evansville area I would be more than willing to listen. |
