Back in July I got laid off for the second time in a couple years. I posted my lament and got lots of good advice and encouragement from folks here. I did and do appreciate that. My biggest worry was being 50 something, thinking that would make getting hired more difficult. I've heard stories .....
I was actually only out of work long enough to collect one unemployment check, three weeks. I should of shared my good news earlier but better late than never they say. I got hired by a company that makes surface protection products. Films and papers. They found me through the Department of Unemployment web site. Liked my resume and called me 10 minutes after my initial interview. Started the next day.
There are many things I like about the job. I'm running a coating machine which puts latex on paper. I like running machines. I'm on second shift and there are only 3 of us in the building, supervisor is next door and we rarely see him. Best of all when work gets slow in the department the company does not lay off operators. So if things slow down I'll be doing grunt work for operators pay. Security, doing something I like, hard to beat.
