As Phobia, Pink, Monty and Stevie already know, Mrs. OnTheWarpath58 lost her job back in September. Needless to say, things have been rough lately, between this and her father having his 3rd bypass surgery and also having a pacemaker installed in December.

It's never a good time to lose a job, but it's extremely difficult to find work late in a calendar year. We're hoping that 2008 brings about an opportunity for her, and I'm hoping someone out there might be able to get her in touch with someone who appreciates her talents.

Her background is in the Commercial Construction industry, in Business Development. She's been in the industry since the early '90's, and has worked on/landed some monster construction jobs in the Midwest, including the Scottrade Center, EJ Dome, Ameristar Casino, and numerous other hospitals, hotels, museums, etc.

If anyone knows of someone at J.E. Dunn, Black and Veatch, or another General Contractor, please PM me.

While the majority of her experience is in the Construction industry, she's also held positions as VP of Sales and Marketing for a printing/document company, and is excellent at expanding sales and increasing business/revenue.

We're open to moving, whether it be KC or anywhere else.

We know it's a longshot, but it never hurts to spread the word.

TIA.

I didn't read the whole thread. What is her degree in?

**OnTheWarpath58** · 03-12-2008, 09:06 AM

FINALLY!

So we drove up to Dayton, OH so my wife could finish the interview process for this architecture firm she's been interviewing with for the past month or so and.....

She got the job.

Great company, great benefits, and a hefty pay raise over what she was making when she was laid off back in September.

It's been a rough 6 months, but thanks to those of you who passed on words of encouragement, job postings, etc.

YES!!!

Wait....does this mean you're moving or staying put in St. Louis?

Also, does this mean you may travel in June for some event that month?

I'm really glad to see that Sal landed a job!!

Very nice dude. We went through something similar not too long ago, and went about the same period of time before it got solved. I hope you guys didn't struggle like we did there for a while. In any case, it's all over. Congratulations.

Completely missed this thread.

Good for you and yours, Warpath. Good luck in your new upcoming lives.

So, what?

Are you a kept man?

Congratulations on the new job for Mrs. Warpath.

The construction boom in Branson is through the roof. Sight and Sound is just finishing construction of a huge theater. They need Marketing and have great benefits. Several other companies building like crazy and expanding.

Did Jim give you a call? It was a bad deal that he was let go from our Company. He was told on a phone call-real classy.
