Well folks after 5 months of being unemployed. (Funny that was the amount of time I was unemployed last time.) I am again a part of productive society. Or will be on Monday.
Good thing too cause my unemployment runs out on July 10th. With that, my savings would've run out by August. Another good news is the job is in the DFW area. So that means a couple of things: 1) I will never be able to date unless the gal is not TX born. Cause TX womenz seem to think I have the plague. No matter, I can still make trips to CA. I may just have to import a mate. 2) I can keep my CCW. 3) I can still buy sport utility rifles. 4) I don't have to pay state income tax, but will get raped on property and sales tax. 5) Best of all, I still get to hang out with the DFW crew. [:D] So what is lordtrader gonna be doing? Well it ain't trading. So my moniker may be a misnomer at this point. Nope, I have been put in charge of Sales and Marketing dept. of a small Brokerage firm. My job is to recruit, manage and train financial planners. I get a very small, and I mean small, base salary. Just enough to pay rent, car note, bills and nothing else. My bread and butter will be the overrides on production of reps I recruit and train. Basically same deal as a branch manager would get at a Merrill Lynch branch. Also responsible to product roll outs and signing selling agreements with various investment services vendor(Mutual Funds, REIT cos., Insurance cos., etc) So it seemed challenging enough for me and I like the idea of not having a cap on the money I can make. I can also have my own clients which could add to my income as well. I answer only to 2 people that is the President, and the other is the CEO/Owner. This works for me. I hate having too many chiefs to bow to. |

GREAT news, LT! I'm glad you finally picked something up, and that you don't have to move back to CA!

Congrats.
For an aggressive single guy with no kids who is willing to hustle that salary sounds like a good deal. Don't give up on the womenz, when you least expect it they tend to turn up. [;)] |

We have been inviting you since we started hitting the bars in Deep Ellum back in January. You have never showed up. Its either my GF won't let me or the ole I don't wanna drive crap(still don't get that one, you hardly drink). Unless we decide to go to a club in the Arlington area, meet us at the Bone around 10-10:30PM. |

Hey, great news, LT!
There is a certain amount of irony, though, in the fact that after being unemployed for 5 months, you get a job hiring people. Here's how it should go down: LT: "Why do you want this job?" Unsuspecting recruit: "Well, I've been interested in the field for a long time, I know a lot about it, and I'm good at it." LT: "OK. Are you currently working?" UR: "No." LT: "OK. How long have you been unemployed?" UR: "About 2 months!" LT: "TWO MONTHS?!?! GET THE F@$* OUT OF HERE YOU DEGENERATE SLOB! DON'T COME BACK FOR AT LEAST THREE MONTHS! Two months! Child's play!" UR: *Slam* LT: "Next!" Good luck in your new job. Maybe the jobby-job will somehow attract the girlie-girls to you. |

OH BTW, if any of you have your Securities Licenses. Have a small book of business, doesn't have to be large. Maybe 50-75K gross annual. We have a great training program, tons of product including private placements, life settlements and the ussual investment and insurance product. There is also a plan to become an investment banking firm in a yr or two so that we can start doing IPO's. So if you're looking to move your book to another financial services firm. Our payouts are between 80-90% if you have been thinking to go independent.
We also have a few opening for back office staff. If you have experience in cashiering, new accounts, TOA, Cust Svc., broker support, let me know. We are also looking for a CFO with a FinOps license and CPA background. I am not personally involved in hiring for this position, but can get you contact with the CEO Drop me a line. This company is currently in a growth spurt. I will post our openings here and see if I may be able to help out some of the board members that are unemployed. I'll also see what we have in the IT area. |

Seriously, I have no problems meeting them. Ask bung, we've been hitting the bars frequently. Its getting them to go out on the date that seems to be the problem. Never had that problem in CA. If I can meet and talk to them, I can ussually date em. Not saying that I was a "playa" there, but I never had the dry spell that I have here in TX. |

Quoted: I'll also see what we have in the IT area. View Quote I might be interested in this... [:D] In fact, a friend of mine works in Irving for a financial company of some kind. He recently wanted me to send my resume to him so he could get me hired at his company. I declined for now... but who knows what the future has in store! |

... Well I'll be ...
... We'll raise a toast in your honor down in a Greenwich Village pub tonight! |
