I need a job.

I have spent the past 22 years working my way up from a block mason, to an inspector, to an equipment operator, to a forman, to a superintendent, to a project manager. Most recently, I was employed as Land Development Project Manager.

Unfortunately, with the economy the way it is, development in my neck of the woods has been halted, and for the last several months, I have found myself unemployed. Even more unfortunately, there are a great number of poor souls just like myself throughout the United States. I need to stand out from the crowd, and I'm asking for your help.

Hi John I am a Mom from Marley's playgroup. I just received this letter from a friend of mine back in Pa. I think it would be worth checking into. Good Luck and keeping fingers crossed for you.

Hello Lori,

I retired as a building superintendent from Kinsley Construction in Feb. of 2004, after 16 years with them. They are a large company, with offices in York, Baltimore, and Reading and are into many things, I believe they are always looking for someone with the right credentials. Have your friend go to rkinsley.com and check out the website. The head of the building division is Jon Kinsley, the head of the properties and land development division is Tim Kinsley, and the head of LSC, the architect and engineering division is Rob Kinsley. There is on line applications and all the needed information there. Maybe this will help.

Talk to you later,

Rich.

This is too complicated. But, for what it's worth, I'd go for Starbucks.

Check your alma mater... they probably offer career services to alumni. Good luck.

Found you through Bloggy Giveaways. Question, have you tried the Fed Gov't? Hubby works for them (has for years), many times they pay to move you. We've lived in DC/Virginia, Japan, Albuquerque and now Washington (State).

Worth a try. We have really great health care too, but no dental.

Good luck on your job search!

Hi John ~

My Father was (before he passed away) an Underground Utility Contractor and I still know a few Developers and Contractors in the area. I can pass your resume onto a few of them ~ if you're interested in moving to Central Florida.

Just let me know if you and your family would consider living in the Sunshine State.

I'm participating in the HUGE Giveaway too!! I know that you have a son ~ but your wife might want to enter my Jewelry Giveaway.

In the meantime ~ I'll pray for you and your family.

Jayne ~
