lay'd off, had a question
 

So, I was wondering if any of you guys knew of any places that are hiring. I just got lay'd off today from Mccann Motors.. really frickin sucks.
but yeah, just wondering if anyone knows of any openings anywhere.. doesn't have to be auto related. i'd like it to be though..

thanks

Randles sand and gravel on south hill is always hiring and pays ok

cool, thanks.. like I said, any info's good... oh and what do you mean by pays ok

decent. It is hard work, but it pays the bills. I used to work for them when I was in High School.

Once Boeing's machinist strike ends (hopefully sooner than later), Boeing will be hiring for both office and production assembly jobs. So far no orders have been cancelled due to the economy so the output from the work stoppage due to the strike will have to be compensated for (in Boeing's case it usually means hiring more people).

I hope the IAM is able to go back to work soon. I know many people at Boeing and it's too bad the strike has to occur during this economic downturn.

I guess McNerney is doing exactly what your company hired him for, to not give into these unions.

the longest boeing strike was like 2 months wasn't it? its already been a while here, might set a new record. they went into talks the other day but that flopped horribly and there are no plans for when they will hold their next talks.

plenty of family members and friends work for them, it's a bummer to see them sitting around without pay.

I think the longest machinist strike was 68 days. I think they're at 49 now(?). Yeah, this has the potential to be a record breaker. Talks broke down earlier this week and looks like another week atleast before they get back to the table. I hope some agreement can be reach since both sides are hurting bad. If the machinists can hold out until 90 days then Boeing will not allow it to continue much further than that or may not even allow it to get to that point.

I guess it's also worth mentioning to the O.P. that most likely the jobs that they will be hiring for could be relatively short (most likely less than 2 years before Boeing has it's next big round of layoff). But nothing would prevent you from finding a more permanent job if you do get in.

Are you a Registered Nurse, or a certified Medical assistant? I'm constantly recruiting for RNs & MAs for my clinic :thumbup:

the strike is hurting aerospace pretty bad. I work for primus international a supplier for boeing we have layed off like 35 and put another 25 on 0 hours. It's bad they need to get talking again soon I am on 32 hour work weeks right know.:icon14: I am looking for part time myself till this is over I need my play money! Best of luck on your job hunt!

what were you doing at McCann?

started as a lube tech.. was just a light tech when they let me go..

This is just too unfortunate. Who here is for the IAM's and their demands?

sorry to hear the news yet i know how ya feel... i was recently laid off from lexus of bellevue from my position of shop dispatch and internal service advisor... the automotive industry is def in the shitter right now... i got a bs retail job to get me through until i find another dispatch position

yeah, it sucks.. I'm looking into working on the strikers out at fort lewis for a few months to get me buy.. but thats only the first good thing I've found that'll keep me in the auto field.

but yeah haulinz, it blows. theres nothing like that gut wrenching feeling ya get when they tell ya we have to let you go.

well, Hyundai of Everett is going to be hiring for an internet manager soon...I think I found my new job. Sent in resume, talked to the person in charge, and everything looks good to go.

where are you going to go work at?

its a secret till I know I have it
