Default Need A Job ASAP

Hey guys i am desperately in need of a new job. My parents are moving out of state so its forcing me into a tough decision either stay here and try to find someplace to live or move with them. I would much rather stay but only making $8hr its gonna be kinda hard to pay for rent for an apartment or something, so if anyone knows of anyplace thats hiring for anything really please let me know..

ANY education/experience in machineshop (lathe, mill, precision grinder), drafting, cadd/camm, high speed automation (parts assembly), spring winding, injection molding, stamping will get you top $$$ at my work. They are hiring reg machine operators but, you got it, $8/hr starting off.

Nobody really wants to work at a factory these days. Or start at the bottom willing to earn big potatoes. Any experience/education will get you an automatic bump

tell us more about your qualifications please.

pm me if interested at all, factory in addison

Well if ALL else fails, opertators are needed and 20+ hrs. O.T.
$8 x 40/hr = $320
+
$12 x 20/hr =$240

= $560/week - taxes

LOL we're busy as ****

seriously, GOOD LUCK

Hey ls1king,
What type of machine shop? My family owns a tool/die machine shop in Bensenville. I have been working there for a while and only make ... a whopping $9/hour. He's right, no one wants to work this type of work anymore.

Any interest in commercial pest control? No experience is req'd, only real rquirement is clean driving record (no DUIs) and a clean background (they do a background check and a drug test).

They pay for uniforms, training, company truck, 401k, good insurance and benefits, starts out at $11-$12/hr and goes up fairly quickly, should be at $13-$15 within a year or so. Really good job, alot of freedom, flexible hours.

Hey ls1king,
What type of machine shop? My family owns a tool/die machine shop in Bensenville. I have been working there for a while and only make ... a whopping $9/hour. He's right, no one wants to work this type of work anymore.
In house work only. The tool room makes all the dies for stamping and molds (except edm and carbide) sometimes as high as .0002 which can get very expensive. Plus custom made collets, grabbers, feeders and cool fixtures for assembly machines.

Thats mostly what we do. Build one of a kind high speed assembly machines for aerosol valves also. Everything but the can, cap and product inside. Basically all the important components. Everything is made and assembled here in ILL but, plastic is another story.


Anybody have work Monday?
