I'm just giving a little update on my job search so far. Since the last time I posted on here I've had 4 interviews. I'm just waiting for some feedback from 3 of them. One of them wanted to hire me on the spot for far less than I was making previously from my other job. I'm willing to take a little pay cut to prove my skills and work ethics. But this was literally embarrasing to me with my many skills and what I have to bring to the table. They offered me $43,000 to start, I was making $60,000 + at my last job. I ask the interviewers is there any room for negotiations. They ask me what would I suggest and I told them $52,000. One of the interviewers quickly said "we don't have some engineers and supervisors making that kind of money". I said "I have a lot to bring to the table" and everyone agreed. They told me the max the would go is $45,000. I told them let me think about it. That was 4/2/2020. I know I need to work and bring money into my household to keep the roof over my head and food on my table. But there is several thing I know I have working for me in my life is my wife of 32 yrs and the back up plans we've created over the yrs for times like this. I want to really go back to work but I'm not going to be handled like I'm desparate. I'm a patient person and I know that ideal job will present itself to me in the near future. Ok guys thanks for listening and please everyone be safe.

I was recently laid off (03/20/2020) from my job of 6 yrs as a machinist. I thought I would be there at least another 15 yrs until I retire. But things happen in life unexpectedly and you must prepare for that. One thing I learned through out my life, I'm now 51 yrs old, is that you must create a lot of back up plans to stay afloat in life. I hate the notion of living paycheck to paycheck and not knowing when your employer will let you go and not having that check coming in anymore. The feeling of that send chills through my spine. I'm always learning new things so that I can be very valuable to the next company I get hired onto. I have a lot of skills : Electrical, Robotics Programmer, Welder Certified, Brakepress Operator, CNC Operator and quite a few other skilled trades I do not want to name them all right here but you get were I'm coming from. Always learn new skills to make your job hunting easier for you. I've done and still do some work from home stuff from the side to make extra money for the past 15 yrs. I just like to stay busy. Now since I'm not working I've been busy doing a lot more online work at home opportunities. I'm sure in another week or two I will be working for another company. Too everyone out here looking for a job, stay strong, always learn new things and never give up. Always help out your fellow man and woman, we are in this together. Stay safe and good luck.
