I'm available immediately.
No job is too big or small.

On-site is not a problem in the greater san antonio - austin area as I'm
within commuting distance.
My resume and other info is available on the web page.

Thanks,

Virgil

You might at least give readers some idea of the TYPE OF WORK
you do, rather than inconvenience everyone with the need to
go to your website.

Actually larry, I wanted people to look at my web site as I have a very
diverse background and you never know what people are looking for.

Now if you want to know what type of work I'm looking for, well it would be
paying work as I'm one of the probably hundreds of thousands of contractors
that have not been able to find work in the last year or two.

Believe me larry, after you've been without a paycheck for as long as I have
you don't care what you do as long as its legal and it pays somewhere in a
reasonable neighborhood.

Cheers to you too,

Virgil

I hope you do well with this approach. A few have tried it before,
but I don't recall them saying how they did. Being without a paycheck
genuinely sucks - been there, done that . . .

However, it seems to me most of the people who respond to the postings
here are looking for work, and are disappointed at the scams and bogus
postings which account for 95% of the items. Hope you have better
luck.

Cheers,

Yes, and the best thing you can do for yourself while scanning this
newsgroup is to KILLFILE EUROSOFT.

you know, I worked for eurosoft a LONG time ago and they allways treated me
nice, but I have to admit.....They won't contact you at all unless they need
your specific requirements <grin>

I've been in this business for 20 years and I've NEVER seen it where I
couldnt find work.
Are all the rest of ya'll finding the same stuff. ??

Hell, I even tried HEB and Walmart, Lowes, etc. and couldnt even get a 6.50
hr job there because I was overqualified.

At this point I'm ready to try anything that is legal as I know I have a lot
of experience and knowledge that I can bring to the table..

Thanks for the comments, so far there has been 853 people look at my web
page, but NO OFFERS yet...

Sounds reasonable to me, particularly in a saturated market.

No, but it greatly depends on exactly what you are looking for. Living
in Kerrville probably isn't turning them on about hiring you in Austin
either. That is not a "reasonable" daily commute.

Hand them a resume that says you worked changing tires in west virginia for
15 years, then they'll hire you. :-) Tell them you are a reformed serial
killer, and they'll probably make you store director.

Not to mention welfare, medicaid, free training (with stipend) and who
knows what other "perks."

I've gotten a couple of responses from them. Some of the jobs
they advertise seem pretty general, and they keep advertising
them. My experiences with them are they are very strict.
Uptight, even.

Considering the job market, that is a surprisingly good number. However,
most of the lookers were likely equally un-(der)-employed like everyone
else. Perhaps they just wanted to know what they are competing against.

There are no jobs out there except in healthcare. That's why I drop-kicked
hi tech and went back to school to be a Sonographer. 4 more semesters and
I'm done.

Vote Democratic and watch the jobs come back after November.

I've thought about something like this, but I havent found anything that
paid anywhere near the money I was making.
I don't think democrats have a chance in hell of bringing the jobs back
though <grin> as the only thing I see bringing the jobs back is to level the
playing field which means any work going overseas to cheap foreign countries
has to have a surcharge added to it which would mean that if it cost 65K a
year here, it will cost 65K a year there..

Only then will the jobs stay here and nobody will tackle that subject.

Just my two cents worth,

Then find a job that cannot be outsourced. That's why certain medical jobs
are attractive. They may not start out paying what you were used to getting
but it's a start. In a few years, you'll be back up there. And, it's
stable employment.

You're asking that our politicos muster some testicular fortitude? Not

I agree that there should be a price to pay... A windfall profit's tax
would fill the bill but...
