Any local jobs?
Hi guys. For those of you that do not know me yet my name is Zach. I have been searching for a job for a month or so by now but I have not found much through the classifieds and such.
As far as work experience goes I have worked at a dealership detailing cars for about 9 months and I also have done some carpentry work when I was younger (drywall, wiring, ect...) but it has been a while so I might need some fresh teaching when it comes to that.
I am pretty flexible when it comes to the type of job, but I do have some requirements for the pay and such. The type of job that I am looking for is a FT position that may or may not have opportunity for OT. I am not a stranger to working 50+ hours a week.
I figured I would ask around on here because it seems like a lot of you own/work at reputable companies and you might know of some openings.
You may pm me or reply on this thread if you can help me out in my job search.
Thank you in advance

I'll be back in town again soon and can provide plenty of evening side work (6:30-10p @ $8/hr cash). Thanks again for your help before.
Have you checked out the state gov't listings at http://jobs.virginia.gov ? Takes awhile for the hiring process, but the benefits are quite good.

Re: Any local jobs?
I guy I know works for blue ridge paper (used to be westvaco) they print packaging. He told me they were looking to hire like 60 people, he said starting pay was 15-16 dollars per hour. Now you may not get that until the probationary period is over with (like 90 days or something), and its shift work but I'm sure overtime pays time and a half. After the 90 days you can join the union and get full benefits. They will prob. start you off catching and loading the press. This is all I know about it. I only see the guy every few months and don't have his # but I can find out and get in touch with him if your intrested.
