Job Hook Ups

We actually do not sell any vehicles to individual buyers, besides our own employees. We supply them to dealers and various wholesalers. So in theory Drive-Time could purchase them through us, but at the moment we are not talking on any additional clients.

Been several years, but I was helping re=work a parking lot, in Charlotte. That's when I found out Drive-Time had a few buildings on both sides of the street. They brought in truck loads of cars, & ran them through, whatever they needed. They were like New, when they were shipped to their sales lots! They were just starting up in the Charlotte area, then. I wasn't aware anyone did that!
 
Throwing this out there. Probably looking for a new job. My company moved to a new office that is further from home, which was fine with me going in to the office one day a week. They are requiring us to be in the office three days a week starting first of the year. I am not wanting to spend 2+ hours a day on the road every day. Especially since I sold my little fuel efficient beater when they told us we can work from home 4 days a week. I'd like to find something closer to come, or ideally working from home. I made decisions on where my kids go to school and some other life decisions based off of that so it makes it very difficult on my family when my wife has to do dropoff and pickup for my younger son every day on top of trying to work her job.

I have over 20 years experience in mechanical design. Most of it in the HVAC and mechanical systems field , about 19 years, using ACAD and Revit but I have machine design experience using SolidWorks (which I honestly prefer). I also have experience growing a business and managing employees. I grew my parts business from borrowing $300 in my 2 car garage to a business with a big shop and 4 employees. I also grew my decal business from a Cricut Joy my parents bought me for Christmas a few years back into a shop that sold $50k in stickers on eBay and Etsy last year and has several large scale cutters and a commercial printer.

So I'm really open to anything as long as the money is decent and it works for my family. I can't afford to take much of a pay cut so I know my options are limited, but I'm just throwing it out there. I honestly could go for a career change.

Thanks man. Honestly running my shop was tons of fun to me, but running a business that size with kids that were as young as mine at the time was very tough so I tapped out at the right time.
 
Company I work for is looking to hire a new client manager for high end custom homes. Looking for someone in the custom home industry, but open to anyone who might also have sales experience.
You would work with clients to establish their needs, evaluate plans and basically help them from walking in the door to pre-construction, plan development and then to executed contract, and help manage clients expectations, and budgets. Working with our team to create budgets.

Current client manager is leaving to focus on growing his non profit that he established. And will stay on staff to train over the next 4-5 months

I’m always looking for HD diesel mechanics. Especially if you are good with bus HVAC. If you’ve never worked on buses we can train you up.

With a good support team, this seems like it would be a fun job. A mix of sales and project management, plus you get to help people make their dreams come true.

Not sure if Lexington is too far of a drive for you. Hourly + commission on membership sales, add ons etc.
ModWash Lexington NC
 
Not sure how many we have in the area or are willing to move, but - looking to hire experienced commercial electricians and experienced helpers in the Greenville, SC, Easley/Anderson area.

Good pay - excellent benefits.

Shout if interested or pass my info along to anyone you know who might be
 
So, It looks like I'm getting laid off from Dell on Monday. Am I sure, No but I got an email that I suspect is a layoff meeting with my supervisors supervisor. Interestingly enough, my supervisor got the same email meeting 30 minutes before me so I firmly believe it's the annual August purge.

I'm 65 and not ready to retire but can if forced into it. While I would prefer a remote position, I'm open to a shop or office within 30 minutes or so from Reidsville. I have an IT background, specializing in hardware and know a bit about networking and storage, have spent the last 5 years doing workload analysis. Good with my hands, have done fabrication and can weld but far from a pro. Can do low voltage wiring. I also have a Class A CDL with passenger endorsement but would need to get a Medical Card unless it's in-state driving. I drove buses for Disney for 5 years. I can sell but would prefer not to. I also have done electronics repair but mostly before the SMT stuff. I would classify myself as a handyman hobbyist with welding, plumbing, electric and woodworking. Wouldn't be upset with a part time position to fill the gap from full time pay and taking SS and 401K disbursements.

Anybody need someone like me or know a place where they would hire a 65 year old fat white guy until I'm ready to retire (about 5 years from now)?

It was a shock to see that email, received after working hours. Called my boss on his cell and talked. Going to keep it professional although a phone call to Matt might be in the cards :D.
The rumor mill says it's going to be in the thousands all over the world. I'm sure age is playing into it.

If Lexington isn't too far for you, check out Careers | EGGER. There are openings in manufacturing, transportation and office jobs currently. Pretty decent pay for the area, too.

IBM calls it a "resource action" and they as well as AT&T seems to time these for folks with 27-29 years with the company

I'm not OK with these actions and these days I relate more to Marvin and his love of Komatsu dozers 😡

Of course Matt is always an option but your welding experience is appreciated 😇

Little over an hour. Just a bit out of the range I was looking for.

I don’t understand why these two don’t go together. KilldozerFlamethrozer is actually the complete correct answer, Marv just didn’t have the funding or patience left to finish.
