****ty! Lost my job on the 11th. My fiancee is due in March, we've only been in the town we live in now since Sept, I can't get my house to sell back home and I was the only one working.

mechanic, 24. Applied for like 10 jobs so just waiting now, likely until after new years before any jobs start interviewing I imagine. Looks like I'll be getting my unemployment though. It's $100 less than what I was making but it'll help. Also considering getting out of the field and finding something else. Not much money in it and I hate to kill my hobby by getting tired of working on cars

I was crushed when I lost my job 6 years ago. I didn't even get unemployment because I had worked for a nonprofit organization... but it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened. My next job paid more, with better hours, and was appreciated a ton more. This is an opportunity for you! Keep thinking of it that way and you'll end up in great shape eventually.

If you have any means at all try and do something on your own. Do you have a garage?

I just upgraded my air compressor 20gal about two weeks ago and my new floor jack should be here tomorrow. My current floor jack is over 20 years old.

Hi sea. Ask to speak to the manager before you fill out applications. Have a few good questions to ask other than do you have any openings. I know its still tough out there but there are some opportunities. Maybe something ecommerce. lots of places sell online parts need people that can do more than look up a part number.
