The internet has made applying for and finding jobs easy, but it is also a crutch. I wish I could walk in to a business and shake the hand of the boss, look him (or her) in the eye and tell them why I would be a good fit. I have been working my fingers off typing up applications and emailing different companies to get information about employment.
Oilfield work in Texas, North Dakota, Wyoming and all those other big sky states is looking pretty tempting. As long as I am not trapped in a cage/cubicle for 10 hours a day.
I just thought I would broaden my network of contacts. Maybe one of you knows of an employer looking for a reliable, honest employee that isn't afraid to do what is needed to put food on the table.
Without posting my resume (I would be happy to email you a copy if interested) I will tell you that I spent 13 years in the US Army as an MP. I spent most of my career either deployed or instructing weapons and tactics. Thanks for any contacts you can provide.
