Default Lost My Job

At my previous job I was doing software support. I was let go due to the fact of call volume. They said they would love to have me back, they just could not justify keeping me there when not enough phone calls were coming in. Before that I was an Assitant Manager at an O'reilly Auto Parts here in Houston for 10 months. So if any one knows of any opening in any type of field please let me know. I am located in Katy, so anything here or around is fine. Just looking to start my career. I know a lot of people here on Tech that can validate for me. I have an up to date resume' upon request.
Thanks.

Tommy

Well, my position is opening up, but I doubt that you want to drive to Galveston from Katy everyday.

well we need help but Galveston is alot closer than Ft.Worth. Get a CDL, you will never run out of work and if you do your not driving or hauling for the right company. IE, JB Hunt = no miles, pay is crappy. My company = Im home everyday, have at least one day a week off, if Im lucky, and benifits, and its hourly not by mileage. I bring home roughly $1100 a week after taxes, give or take $200.

Can you do IT work? Any college like BS degree? If so......is Harwin BTWY 8 too far? I believe we have some IT positions open. We are a huge company, and were world wide, if you ever want to transfer. Let me know, I just might have something.
