    find a shitty job. having a job seems to boost your chances of getting one. i got a shitty min wage job and had 3 interviews scheduled in my 2nd week, quit after 3 weeks after securing a new job.. after months of looking for something decent and like 10+ interviews.

    The 205 Home Depot was hiring a couple months ago. Maybe they still are. That actually wouldn't be too bad of a place to work. I fucking love going to Home Depot.

    I fucking hate job hunting.

    Job hunting's one of the worst jobs ever.

    Check the chris king site. We just interviewed se one today so the position still maybe available.

  14.  

    i tried for the chris king position...man, that would be a dream job... i called and checked on my resume 2 or 3 times, no one ever called back..bummer, i would have fit in good there....i like bisickles

    edit: Job hunting is tough. I have been looking for a job turning wrenches now for over 3 months. No luck!
    It's all who you know and who you blow. Unfortunately, I don't know many people in the industry. I have been doing a lot of wrench turning on the side(out of my living room). But it's still not the same as being in a shop. Boohoo.... end blog
