well started off rather well. was looking for a job going on interviews and such. so i get offered a job at an airline. kind of nice place to work since i love flying. so i did a total of 8 interviews and one in southern Cali. (see note below)


so anyway i get ready to sign the final paperwork and then off to training. while i am at seatac for like the 40th time. the person who is meeting me says they have bad news. the company has just froze hiring and i will not be getting a job. but i am in a pool of candidates ready to be hired. so i thanked them and walked out.

so from that point on apply for different jobs and such going on interviews. only to hear a few different things. one being we are sorry but due to the economy we are not hiring at the present time or we switched the job to a part time basis or you are over qualified for this position. if i am offered a job where one of those excuses are not used. it is part time anywhere from 20 hours a week to 30 hours a week at 10 dollars or less per hour. the ones that are higher then that use the excuse we found a better candidate for the position.

ok everything other then finding a job.

so most of you know a while ago i almost lost the XB due to falling behind on payments. when i got the loan for the XB. i could miss two weeks worth of work and not even have to worry about not being able to make my payment. i didnt buy above my means. just couldn't see the loss of a job due to a serious drop in business. anyway i have probably messed up my credit at this point. but still have the XB. still stock. but cant drive it as with living on a shoe lace thread budget. i got a ticket i though i took care of and lost my license. lol

so the is about 5 months worth of my life. it is also has a lot to with why i have been on the board much. it really sucks not being able to find a job. also seeing people get mod for cars kind of makes it worse. i had being plans for my XB. they are gone or pretty much someone else has done it. so i stopped even planning what mods i want or think are cool. maybe when i get a job i will get back into it. as for now she is going to stay stock as i have no money to do anything with her.


*note*
ok so this was a strange interview. the said report to seatac check in at ticket counter. so i did. thy handed me a ticket to Oakland. i told the lady but i have an interview with the airline i never bought the ticket. the supervisor came over and asked what was the trouble. i explained it again. he laughs and says the company is flying you down to Oakland to do the interview. so off to the gate i went. at the gate i check in and wait. so after boarding the plane. i realize i am in first class seating. totally sweet. anyway interview went great i flew back at like 9 pm at night called a few friends while i was in the area. lol

 

good to hear from you..

 

glad to hear from you - sorry things are looking up, but this is only temporary & things will turn around

on the flip side, at least you got to fly 1st class to cali

 

really missed seeing you around man........hang in there.........the right job will come.......keep fighting and searching and it will fall into place.

 

so are you a pilot? no work for pilots??

 

i know the feeling about the job freeze thing, i have had 3-4 interviews lined up a week that fall through due to the "hiring freeze" also noticing the same thig with the part time, and the crap pay....luckily unemployment is paying good...albeit only for 6 months....but hope to have a decent job by then

 

snowromance no i am not a pilot. i wish i was one. would be cool to just jump into a plane and fly.

thanks guys. yeah i am still looking as drepessing as it is. i am still looking.

i really wanted that job though. it was ramp agent position. means i load and unload the planes. travel benefits are sweet. also pay was pretty cool.

 

what is it you specialize in that brings you to the aviation world? especially an airline of all parts???
