Another, so I lost my job today thread

[metallimonster]

Well not exactly today but on the 31st.  Sucks because I love my job and won't have my degree until next December.  I've been looking for jobs and can't find squat.   

I do feel alright since I've known this was coming and I get a severence and a retention bonus (not many here did). So I should have about 3 months worth of pay the day I leave.  This coupled with unenjoyment should help but I would love to find a job to start right after this so I can buy a new exhaust system. 

Anyways, I'm not much on reaching out to people for sympathy but I thought you guys might want to know and if you have any tips please let me know.

Sorry to hear, that's got to be a bad feeling.  There will be something come around.  Now, while you're still working is the time to look 

Our Pizza Hut here in town is hiring...  Probably not what you're looking for though ~

Thanks guys.

I'm in Columbus OH.

I work as a Jr. Staff Accountant for a property management firm.  I am getting degrees in Accounting and Financial Management (corporate finance).  I do like the accounting work better but am looking for either.  I could go back to wrenching but would have to be very very desperate. 

I really want a sales/use position at a larger company.

Sorry to hear.  Join the club.  Best wishes for finding a good job sooner than later.  Land a job soon and you'll have your severance package as "extra" money for that exhaust.

Sorry about that, man. On the "plus" side (for you), your Buckeyes just totally outplayed my 'Horns in the 1st half.
