It was when I was developing a device to grab PET bottles by the neck because the selected metal had to meet certain standards and most importantly be resistant to wear.
Oh....How nice it would be to work for a company and have another company offer you a position to work for them, at a better pay, more benefits and welcome arms to join their team. At least I can dream! I never went in the direction that were the "Hot" fields. Maybe I should have. Back in the day it was IT, then health careers, now the trades seem to be the latest thing. I've always liked to be in the creative field. My specialty is kitchen design. I opened up a cabinet shop for 6 years and I loved every minute of it. I had to close it two years ago due to lack of sales. Since then, I worked for two family owned businesses and was let go from both of those positions due to lack of traffic through the door, plus, I was the "Lowest Man on the Totem Pole". This has put quite a bit of stress on my family. I've had life long depression to add to the mix. I've been unemployed for over two months. It seems like this is where the desperation sets in. People will take a job weather they want it or not and weather it's a good fit for them. From being unhappy since you're unemployed to being grateful to have a job, but still unhappy by taking a job most people don't want or one that was a position with a revolving door. This is why I call it My Job Cycle Hell....I'll keep you posted
The new things I learned. Screen printing is so amazing. I loved it
The office workers were a pleasure to work with.
My clients that I dealt with were good, honest, people that paid their accounts on time. I enjoyed taking them out for lunch.
Honestly, I first went to work for Pope Reproduction & Supply in 1999 not knowing anything about blueprinting. The owner needed labor and I needed a job. The owner taught me what I needed and over the years till 2010 we grew together into the tech age. After a break, I was glad to return because I LOVE the printing business.
I wanted to ask if anyone else has had this problem? When I was young and in high school, I was always taught that if you can build up your experience it'll pay out in the end no matter what. I'm really not seeing this at all...as a matter of fact, I'm seeing my career go backwards and not forwards. I'm willing to take the truth even it if it hurts. I often look back and ask myself, where did I go wrong or where did I fall short? I showed up every day on time, did whatever it took to get the job done, met my deadlines with outstanding work and NEVER took advantage of anything there. I'm learning that just because you have years of experience, doesn't exactly mean you're qualified for the job, it means that you're over qualified? This is where I struggle to understand that my years of experience in this field of graphic design is basically obsolete or it really does count and it gets you into a huge disadvantage when competing for a position. Either way, if you have years of experience in certain specialized fields, it seems as if it can be your worst nightmare or enemy. I understand life isn't fair but I've worked way too hard to get where I'm at to find out that everything I've worked my tail end off for ISN'T gonna pay off in the end.
I'm running out of time...I don't have time to start over at minimum wage either. No way. Does this sound familiar?
