    In need of some help

    I've been down on my luck lately looking for jobs. I was in the Marine Corps infantry and once I got out I got a job doing electrical and HVAC but it required me being out of town and away from my daughter 80% of the time. Since i have been back in school my daughter and I have built a relationship so I'm not looking to travel for months at a time. I will post my resume and any job leads would be very helpful.

        Before I was hired on with NexRev I had no electrical or HVAC experience. In 3 months they made me a lead and I had my own crew traveling North America.

                        So what you are saying is that you will not relocate?

                              Bud if you lived in the Houston area, I could put you on some leads but I know nobody up there.

                              Best of luck and don't give up or get discouraged. Something will come along
