Help with unemployment

[DOC]

I have been doing $10~ an hour jobs for years now. I have found that I can survive on less poverty level money. Or should I say I can't survive and live on a part time job paying that much. But I would take another one if I could avoid talking with UI and their BS. I have a steady supply of job feelers out now and I have yet to get an interview. It seems that if I can get that far I usually get offered a position. However, there hasn't been anything yet. I'm just trying to cover all my bases at the moment making sure I have done everything I can to get some money to survive on. I'm selling stuff I can live without. Filed for Unemployment Insurance (UI) and not spending money on anything but bills really. The UI was suppose to keep people from loosing everything when someone gets fired from job. Now just like everything in life I have to work hard to get what I want. Maybe it will help build character or something? Can't pay the bills with character though.

The statute that was quoted was 8-73-108 (5) (E) (XX)
I'm going to appeal just to figure out WTH they were talking about.

sorry to hear your troubles. I'm sure something will come up soon. Worst case scenario is apply for cabelas when they open up their hiring window!

Here's my take on it, There's a LOT of guys here that work in a variety of professions. Instead of trying to get advice on securing UI, post up your resume' and maybe someone here can point you to an open position. There's a lot of jobs out there that NEVER get published in job search websites/papers/etc because they only work on referrals. There's a lot of companies like mine that only advertise on their own websites for open positions. Post up your resume' and background and maybe someone here can point you in the right direction.

I can say this- if you don't mind shitty hours, shitty conditions, and can work your ass off, there are a lot of drilling operations that are hiring people who have no experience but the pay is great. If you can handle the conditions and all that it's good money and they're always looking for help. Good luck DOC!

I would do that. It couldn't be any shittyer than some of the jobs I've done in the past. Only some good money would be different.

Trust me, one of my very good friends is a roughneck, he's been on the rigs up north for about 3 years now and is moving up (IIRC he's a supervisor now). He bought a brand new Dodge Ram 2500 two years ago, no payments, cash, and asked the dealer to throw on a 3" lift and bigger tires... I almost wanted to sign up for that job!

I do like my Dodge Trucks. Diesel with a stick shift and seats 4. Hell yeah. But I need the job before I can dream about some nice toys.

Hook Doc up with your buddy.

Seriously though the oil and gas industry pays well. I went to North Dakota for a little while. Not as a roughneck, but as an electrician. The money being thrown around was ridiculious. Wish I could make that money again.
