Life My wife and I need your help. - Page 7

**OnTheWarpath58** · 01-19-2008, 03:13 PM

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.

Interested in the Tampa/St. Pete area?

**Gonzo** · 10-14-2011, 06:16 PM

Sorry to hear about that man.

Good luck to you and the Mrs.

How appropriate. If you're not in the family of the BOD, you're ****ed.

Sorry about your situation. Truly. At least, you have family, and that's what matters most, if that's any consolation.

We're interested in anywhere that is a good opportunity.

Thanks to everyone for your well wishes, and thanks to those of you who have PM'd or repped leads.

Not sure what my company has available in business development, but we have jobs all over the us. Look at www.kindermorgan.com. It is oil, gas and petrochemical, but we are always building or buying - nature of an MLP.

Check your PMs.

Selfish bump.

**TinyEvel** · 10-15-2011, 10:35 AM

Damn, OTWP. Straight from the week's headlines. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it will work out like before.

Can she avoid a pass rush and throw a football 50 yards?

seriously, though, good thoughts for you and the Mrs.

Sorry to hear this OTWP. My boss of five years was let go yesterday. He was my boss from 2003-2008, then was promoted to VP of Operations. Then promoted again to Director of Global Operations. He bought a big new house with the promotions and pay raises. He was told yesterday they are reorganizing Operations and he's not in their plans. He has one kid in college and one that's a senior in HS. His wife is a substitute teacher. He's in panic mode.

They actually had the balls to look her in the eye and say, "this isn't due to performance, you've done everything we've asked of you and more. But we need to cut overhead so we can pay out bonuses to the shareholders."

I wish I was kidding.

So here we go again, late in the calendar year, in a shitty economy.

Everything in the OP is still accurate, and she now has 3+ years of selling architectural and engineering services on her resume.

If anyone, anywhere has a lead, please share. We're open to moving for the right position.

****.

And damn near 15 months later...

She's just accepted an offer. Signed the contract about an hour ago.

Found a position with a great architecture/engineering firm located here in STL, with an office at Lake of the Ozarks and thinking of opening offices in KC and Dallas.

Paying more than what she was making with her previous company, 100% paid benefits, company credit card - you name it.

It's been a rough go, but things are looking good. Best of luck to those of you still looking - your day is coming.

Grats to you and Mrs. OTWP. May 2013 bring you both much success.
