just a guy looking for a decent welding job

what the hell is up with these company's with the revolving door policy's?

the places who don't give a shit about you.
places that pay you like shit work you like a dog and treat you worse than they pay you?

i am tired of working for places like that.

I'm not the best welder in the world but i do good work i work hard and i can always be counted on to do a good job. im pretty good with mig its been a while but i can do flux and smaw 6010 6011 6013 7018 and 7024 and im pretty damn good with a torch and plasma cutter. but every where ive worked its been something from shitty pay and a revolving door policy to decent pay but they treat their employees like dog crap.

now its at the point where ive been out of work for around 6 months im broke as hell living with family who are getting tired of me not having a job.
im tried of everything ready to go work for mcdonalds and forget everything i know about welding.

ok so im done rambling and complaining if ive bored anyone or pissed anyone off im very sorry. if anyone can help a guy out that would be much apreciated.

i'll go anywhere for a job even if i have to live in a cardboard box outside the shop for a while i can pass background and drug tests but i am sorry to say i cannot pass a beauty test cus i am a ugly mofo ha but im funny.

but anyways if you can help right on my e-mail is zzizezy@yahoo.com if not oh well thanks anyways and good luck to the rest of you looking for work.

Man Jason, I am really sorry to hear what a hard time you are having.

its true, there are a lot of shops out there who would rather pay mcdonalds wages to welders and all the while , they wonder why they cant keep welders.

anyone out there have any leads for Jason?
he posted his email, so please send him any leads on work you might have.

starstarstarstarstar 		GREAT WELDING JOBS!!
by: J.W. STOLL JR.

after sixteen years of making numerous iron shop owners and steel erecting company's a hell of a lot of money i decided to take the civil service route. well, it's been twenty two years and i haven't regretted a second! i'm a maint. welder in a large prison in new york city. i build everything from the bars and gates to fixing stainless steel kitchen equipment. it's a union job and i never get rained or snowed out. if a man has to go to work every day this is the place to do it. i'm embarrassed to say how much i made last year. in times of economic turmoil the prison industry is booming! to any welders thinking about hanging up his (or her) stinger~ do yourself a favor and look into this. the highway, transit and public works departments of all major cities need and use welding!!
