Can anyone help???
 
I lost my job today and was wondering if anyone had any local contacts that might help me network with in my job search. I have most of my experience in retirement benefits but am more than open to something new, especially if it were kiting related!!! :D Yeah, I know...good luck with THAT Toby.

But seriously, any help would be greatly appreciated as every day that passes is costing me, especially seeing as I have a mortgage and other bills coming up real soon!

Thanks and sorry to put this on you guys, especially out on a kiteboarding forum, I'm just in a REAL tough spot right now and need to get creative quickly or I may be forced to sell my home and move out of the area (I know, tell you when so you can throw a party once I am gone :lol: )

Thanks again,

That sucks that that happened Toby.
I think posting on here is a good idea. I will definitely ask around.
I will more than likely be doing the same as you within a year. Networking is a great way to find a job.

that really bites

as we all know pensions are getting chopped by co.s, RB's may be shrinking

BTW, if you do find a job in the kiteboarding area then you'll really have to sell the house and move into a single wide

That sucks. I'll ask around and if I hear of anything I will definately let you know. You still have a room mate to help with bills right 'cause that's a big help at a time like this. Hope you find work soon.

Give me a call.

Thanks for the nice words all, it has been a pretty tough day...

Tom, kinda tough to have rent coming in when your tenant simply has no cash to contribute, but such is life and I'll take the good days with the bad ones...this is a temporary setback that will work itself out soon enough. :)

Raul, if I could find a job in kiteboarding doing something I love, I would be willing to sell the house and live in a cardboard box with my dog!!!

Thanks for the support Scott.

Gary, I'll call you sometime tomorrow. I just checked the forum and it is 11:30 PM, a little too late to call.

Not to sound like a jackass but these responses really have renewed my confidence in the true comraderie and friendship that we all have going on here in this small kiting community. I am proud to be a part of it and really can see how many true friends I have made just by getting involved in this sport. Thanks again for the support/help.

Toby,

I would guess we have all been let go from a job, at least once.
I know I have been THREE times. Each time was defiinitely not my fault, so I personally see no shame in it whatsoever. I only hope you don't either.

I sincerely hope things work out.... and soon.

Erick 05-25-2006 08:52 AM
