Hi it’s me-Dan,

I was talking with my sister Cindi on ways we could add features to this sight quickly; especially given our limited technical abilities.  This page is one of those ideas.

Simply put I’ve set this little blip of a page up for the express purpose of creating a resume or introduction section to this site.

It might be a little primitive but it’ll do for starters and I’ll consider adding functionality as I become more aware of required features based on demand.

  • Use this page to network your stats with other 99ers that are beating the mean streets along with you.

Keep in mind that your post does need to be approved before posting and this is necessary primarily because this site has already been hit by bots and others that are simply trying to get their links published.

If you have a service that will help those looking to replace or add income then I’d prefer that you reach me via the email on the contact page.

If you have a website that is relevant then I will consider adding you to a resources section as this sight continues to develop.

I don’t want this to devolve into a spammer page.

I would suggest that the info you impart be:

  1. The main thrust of your field of expertise.
  2. General geographic location.
  3. Contact email that is not used for any other important purpose. This needs to be included inside your post if you want it to be shown publicly.
  4. Secondarily use this page to respond with any tips or ideas you believe may help a 99er that has posted here using your own sage wisdom.

This is intended as a vehicle for 99ers to network and find win/win solutions amongst ourselves and will depend on the generosity of everyone to help out. If you see an opportunity to help out a poster on this page please do so. Comments that do not meet these criteria will be deleted.

Best Regards to all,

Dan the 99er Man

  • Let’s help each other out using our own abilities, generosity, and good old fashioned common sense.

PS If you have any suggestions please drop me a note via email on contact page.

Scroll to the bottom of this page to post your info!

DON’T FORGET TO PUT CONTACT INFO “INSIDE YOUR POST”

    Although you may notice that I am currently employed, it is for only 7 hours a week, which as you can imagine pays for almost nothing! I have not received any unemployment assistance since April. Although I could desperately use a 5th tier of unemployment assistance I really want a job! I have a total of 15 years managerial experience specializing in the liquor and warehousing industries, but feel I would be an excellent supervisor or manager for any company.

  7. Laura McGraw says:

    I managed a specific marketing program at Verizon Business. The program involved providing value-added products/services to help close complex Verizon network deals. Within this program, I managed up to 40 Strategic Alliances/Vendors and organized co-marketing strategies and delivered/trained all enterprise sales teams nationwide. This program was eliminated for new customers and I was laid off in September of 2009.

    I am having trouble finding work because most jobs in Marketing or Field Marketing requires experience in CRM (i.e. salesforce.com) and extensive social media marketing, which I have neither. I have the same problem that neither opportunities with my former salary of $70K nor those for less will respond to my submissions. My resume is pasted below:

    Objective

    Though most of my work experience is in the construction industry, my interests lie in the robotics and green energy industries such as wind turbines and solar technology. I was attending Baker College for Architectural and Structural design, but switched to ITT for Electrical engineering after discovering the robotic industry. I also have interests in computer building and hardware as well as custom performance automotive and engine building. I am currently laid-off from a robot dress and prep shop due to the dramatic down-turn in the automotive industry. I see this as an opportunity to take the next step in robotics or step into the green energy field. I am searching for an employer who is looking for someone with my qualifications, and may be able to offer a full time position with advancement.

    Experience

    COLE CARBIDE INC., Cass City, MI
    Periphery Grinder Operator, 9/10 to 11/10
    Cole Carbide is a high production supplier of carbide and ceramic cutting tool inserts. I am an operator of two Wendt Eco periphery grinders, I am currently learning the set-up procedure for the Eco. Cole appears to have a permanent workforce with an added number of temporary workers to handle overflow periods. This position does not appear to be stable or permanent. Though I enjoy the job, the pay scale is stagnant and promotion is very rare. Currently I am working 60+ hours a week. I believe Cole will be a temporary position for me.

    SMS/SHERMAN CONSTRUCTION, Cass City, MI
    Sub-Contractor (part-time), 9/97 to Present
    I have been a week-end sub-contractor for SMS/Sherman Construction, on and off, since 1997. I have done everything from framing and roofing, to some plumbing, drywall, and electrical. I had been working for SMS exclusively since being laid-off from Consolidated Machine, though little work is required in the current economy. Due to the hours required at Cole Carbide, I can see little time for any jobs with SMS for the foreseeable future.

    CONSOLIDATED MACHINE AND MFG., Roseville, MI
    Robot Dress and general assembly, 3/05 to 3/09
    My job duties increased during my employment at Consolidated Machine. When I started I did basic general assembly, but quickly moved to robot dress and cooling system assembly on Fanuc robots and Robot Transport Units for General Motors, Chrysler, and Honda. As the industry declined, so did the work force. I had to take on material management as well as shipping and receiving in addition to my original duties. Due to a total lack of contracts from the car companies, myself and the only other shop employee were laid-off as of the beginning of March 2009.

    MICHIGAN WALL PANEL, New Baltimore, MI
    Virtec Operator, 11/00 to 10/04
    I was a machine/robot operator, running a Virtec robotic saw, for Michigan Wall Panel. The Virtec did some material handling, cutting, and laser scribing of wall layout for standard and rake type walls. It was also capable of some truss and hip-set applications. I used extensively the Virtek software and some basic Walplus designing applications for Windows based computers. I had a fair amount of experience with both hardware and software service and upgrades to these computers as well as to the laser systems on the Virtec. I also did some shop maintenance, welding, material handling and shipping and receiving on over-time hours.

    THEUT PRODUCTS, Romeo, MI
    Heavy Equipment Operator/Yardman, 6/99 to 11/00
    Theut Products is an aggregate and concrete supplier. I was the yardman. I drove both a Komatsu 320 loader and Komatsu 180 loader. I also did custom detail work on limestone sills, keystones, and name plates. I had many various duties involved with the Yardman position, including but not limited to, shipping and receiving, material handling, maintenance, steel frame fabrication, and using various other skid steer tractors.

    Education

    ITT TECHNICAL INSTITUTE, Troy, MI
    Electrical Engineering, 9/05 to 9/07
    I started at ITT in the late summer of 2005 to pursue an electrical engineering degree. I switched to ITT from Baker due to the fact that Baker did not offer any degree in robotics. ITT offers a robotics specialty in the Bachelor degree program of the Electrical Engineering course. Because of the fact that I am single and must work full time in addition to school, my attendance was one or two quarters at a time then a break for a while before returning again. Due to not being able to secure student loans because of the banking collapse of Sallie Mae, I have not returned to ITT since the fall of 2007. I am currently holding a 4.0 grade point average and have been on the “Dean’s list” the entire time I have been at ITT.

    BAKER COLLEGE, Auburn Hills, MI
    Structural Engineering, 3/01 to 3/05
    I started Baker College in the spring of 2001 to pursue a structural engineering degree. I attended Baker full time for three semesters and was on the “Dean’s list” until my work responsibilities started to significantly affect my school work. I stopped attending Baker in the spring of 2005 with a 3.12 grade point average.

    CASS CITY HIGH SCHOOL, Cass City, MI
    General and Trade Classes, 1989 Graduate
    During the time I attended Cass City High School I also attended two years at Tuscola Area Skill Center, a trade school, for one year of Drafting and Design as well as one year of Machine Tool Trades. I completed High School in 1989.

    Personal Note

    I am a very hard worker, with a great work ethic and many skills to offer. I have an excellent mechanical aptitude and look forward to learning new things and broadening my personal horizons. I have always been an asset to any employer that I have worked for in the past, and believe that this will continue in the future. I hope to connect with an employer that can help me find the direction that I can fully commit myself to for the advancement of both myself and my future employer.

  11. Kevin Harris says:

    I am seeking employment as an entry-level Structural Engineer in southwest and south-central Virginia. In May 2010, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in the Civil Engineering program at Virginia Tech through the Structural, Geotechnical, and Construction track. In April 2010 I took the Fundamentals of Engineering (EIT) exam and have earned the EIT designation.

    My senior design project at Virginia Tech involved a three-story steel office building structure. While completing this project, I performed the following tasks:
    ? Determined the design loadings for the roof, floors, and lateral bracing
    ? Designed roof structure consisting of open-web steel joists and hot-rolled W-shape girders
    ? Analyzed different configurations for the floor framing and decided on a system of composite slab and hot rolled W-shape joists and girders
    ? Designed braced frame, columns, base plates, and connections
    ? Illustrated office building structural design with Autodesk Revit Structure and AutoCAD
    Prior to attending Virginia Tech, I had worked my way up from a CADD Technician position to a Product Group Manager running a $10M per year production group at a manufacturing company called Xaloy, Inc. Due to the poor global economy, I was laid off from that position. I have always had the desire to work in the structural engineering field, and I decided to start a new career in that area by earning a Civil Engineering degree at Virginia Tech. Now that I have accomplished that feat, I am eager to get back to work with a goal of becoming a PE in four years.

    The exstention that Obama signed did nothing for these people. It only allowed recently laid off workers to continue past the regular deadline. I in no way think trading these hostages for a tax break for the rich was a good thing as a matter of fact it was an obvious ploy to keep all of Americans temper down against the rich tax break witch threw our national debt even further to the extreme ringer.

    75 percent of Americans do not even vote even as registered voters.

    I hope this is a wake up call for people in this country to vote, because as you see there are villains in congress that finally 10 or so years ago passed a bill to allow 10,000 factory jobs to move over seas under the bush administration. Bushes comment on this was they couldn’t find people to do these jobs butt C’mon, you know the truth. The truth is he couldn’t find people in America willing to work for 50 cents an hour. Many of these so called 99ers have been working any where from 5 to 45 years.

  30. – I am a 99er in CO; my UI ran out in May. I am a business analyst, B.S. in finance and worked for years in the fin’l svcs industry and as an operations/business analyst for 3 years in my last job (laid off in July, 2008). I’m trying to obtain certification in SQL Server database development. I live at my mom’s or else I would be living on the streets.

    The responses on this site are incredible – very refreshing and constructive…thanks so much to all of you for finding ways to connect and help each other. I don’t know what I can offer, but can tell you that I started writing articles as the ‘Denver Unemployment Examiner’ about 6 months ago after getting really p’d off at the lame, misleading reporting about the economic and unemployment conditions in CO. This is a lame ‘gig’ – it’s almost volunteer work as I make about $60/mo – but it helps me to buy t.p. and dog food – something I couldn’t do otherwise. I can help have a voice or sometimes to answer questions you might have about UI benefits…

    2 reporters have contacted me as a result of the article I published “Reports Aerotek and other staffing firms discriminating against the unemployed” – if you know of someone or personally had trouble with a staffing firm – and Aerotek in particular, please let me know at co_unemployment@live.com
    In CO the 99ers issue is finally starting to get the attention of some local media outlets – not much, but we are making progess…I keep telling everyone to contact the media – it’s going to take immese public pressure to get Congress to do anything meaningful to help millions of 99ers…

    It’s nice to meet you all.
    Kelly

    here is the article about Aerotek which spawned requests from both reporters..

  35. I have been laid-off since 02/06/2008. I was an upholster for 28 years. So much furniture work went overseas that I’m having trouble finding employment in my chosen field. I’m also finding it hard because of my age. (51) I’m also a female in a man’s type of trade. Over the course of my unemployment I’ve tried every job I can think of to apply for. I’m willing to work at McDonald’s but even that isn’t happening! My unemployment benefits ran out in oct. 2010. I’ve lost my home and on the verge of losing my car. I had to move in with my aging parents whom are also both sick and on limited income. So this option may not be an option much longer. Then I guess I’ll stay in my car since our government don’t even allow housing for widowed women with no under-aged children unless you’re disabled. If I were disabled then I guess I could draw disability but I’m not. I’m too young to retire so what am I supposed to do? I guess just give up and die. How’s that for the American dream? To me it’s been an American nightmare!!!! No hope left, no extension for 99ers to help keep the car gassed up to keep applying for work. No more money for car insurance, or my storage bill for all my belongings. So all is lost. I pray daily for a job but I’m starting to wonder if God is even listening. If there are any upholstery jobs out there in the High Point, NC area please contact my e-mail address or any job for that matter I’d be interested in anything. e-mail: synthiahutchens@yahoo.com My prayers with all 99ers!
