Well i have been laid off for 3 months and it will be going on 4, i collect no unemployment at the moment and have been sending my resume everywhere. The economy is tight and so are jobs in pittsburgh. I am getting close to the edge here and wondering if ANYBODY knows of any work in the south hills or pittsburgh area. I am more prone to an outside/auto industry and construction/bobcat type of work but also have little mortgage backround as well as managerial and computers. I am looking for a career oriented as wel las structured environment to be in but will basically take what i can get right now since i barely can get my bills out. I am drug free and my D.O.T driving record is clean, i also posess a Medical card for combined weight. This is my last resort as of now and feel like shit having to post on Pittspeed for a job but maybe SOMEBODY knows of an opportunity? ---

Good luck I am in the same boat, and it also seems like construction type jobs are some of the toughest to get. ---

What kind of pay are you looking for? I would also assume you’re good with your hands? We’re currently hiring at my families business. We are in appliance repair. It’s not glorified work, but it is steady and the pay is decent. ---

Sorry for the hijack. Sears will rape you on charges. You don’t want to know the horrow stories I hear about them and their “technicians”. The Kenmore Oasis is just a rebranded Whirlpool Cabrio washer anyways. ---
