Well I had an interview that I thought went pretty well but I didn't get a phone call saying I was hired so apparently I'm wrong because they were looking for a bunch of employees. So I'm still unemployed. I even applied to the military affairs office because they had an opening. I guess they didn't think a veteran who has used the education benefits and pretty much knows the process was suitable for the job. So if anyone knows of someone wanting to hire energetic, hard-working, trainable employees let me know. :?

take a civil service test the next time the city gives one- that should put you at or near the top of all their lists.

Unless you have no interest in a gov't job, which- at this point- I couldnt blame you.

I'm confused, didn't you just say in another thread that you were moving to Georgia?

If this came up in your interview I know why you didn't get the job.

Yeah I know. I avoided this fact until they straight up asked me "how much longer do you plan on being in Lynchburg?" I couldn't lie...I said until July-August because my wife got orders to blah blah blah. I knew that wouldn't help.......

If you just need something temporary, take a job that is used to having temporary employees (think retail). You'll have a lot better chance getting that and you won't be screwing over the employer by ditching them half a year later...

The USPS have temporary help or use to call 89 day workers. You would be working like during Christmas season 7 days 12 hours, pay is good. I did this about 30 yrs ago. They can keep you for 2 89 days periods during a year and then you can get unemployment for the rest of the year. Unless they changed the 2 89 days terms. You cannot work past 89 days in any time period.

Manpower Temps.

OR, you could always go over to RST Marketing in Forest. They may have something temporary, and they're LU backers from way back (the R is for Reber, the T is for Thomas, if that gives you an idea ;) ) I worked there my senior year at LU, and my wife worked there pretty much all the way through school. My mother in law still works there, in fact.
