Howdy everyone. First off im sorry if this is too OT for this section and if it needs to be removed, I totally understand. I'll make it short. Jobs. Just got my third layoff in a row, though I knew this one was coming (BP refinery job), and I just cant find anything near 40 hours a week that pays more than $8 an hour. I check the herald, worksource, craigslist, etc. many times a day and I apply a lot, but there are just so many people layed off and hunting, the competition is a killer. :banghead: If anyone knows of any places in the area that need someone who shows up every day, just plain refuses to take days off for any reason (money lost! no can do!), id really appreciate it. Unemployment is about out but I just plain hate having to get those checks in the first place. Ive dont security at the mall for a bit, various little things here and there, but mainly driving for various places either as a shuttle, taxi, etc. Id really like to get my CDL B or something down the road but that costs $$$. So, if anyone has any leads, sees any good looking now hiring signs, yadda yadda, im all ears! Thanks folks and again, sorry if its too OT for the forums.
Oh, forgot to add. Ive lived / have grandparents still in the tri-cities. Anyone know what that area looks like job wise at the moment? Preferably Kennewick/Richland. Rather not cross into Pasco if I can get away with it. Dont know how id get there but Bellingham just drives me nuts anymore. WAY too many people my age group (23-25) job hunting. Thanks!
