There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
No new Farkles for me for long time

Patti,
I know it will happen.
It is the waiting part not knowing/or knowing.
Oh, I will post on this thread when I have a new job.

I've run into this myself when hiring. Some times people are over qualified for the position you are looking to fill.
Be patient everything comes to those who wait

That over qualified for the position they tell you is BS. IMO- a person is willing to do the job and spent the time for the interview make them a offer.
I went for a few job interviews and was told the same thing. Didn't really need the jobs just wanted something closer to home.
A position will come soon just hang in there and keep trying.
Good Luck!

Newest update 1/23/2019
I got an phone interview today, it went well.
This is what I am running in to is: getting the work experience to learn something different so I can start a new work career( at a different company) example: learning how to read blue prints. I know how to put/assemble things together( example putting a desk together that have pieces labeled A, B, C, etc.). And how to use a flat/Philips screw drivers. I know how to use a torx drivers, and Metric sockets, and American sockets, and etc. Also throw in power tools.
So I am mechanically inclined I just got to convince the employers that I apply for jobs at. Also I'm running up against the other people that are out there looking for work. It is tough starting over in the work force again! It is frustrating for me.

Just keep up the process. You are going to find the right job for you. :yes: Sending good vibes your way.
At the risk of being labeled as 'negative', I'd like to suggest that perhaps manufacturers these days are looking for people with a higher level of skill - perhaps with computer-controlled assembly machines (robots). I think you may need to look outside of manufacturing and be willing to accept a lower compensation package than what you have been accustomed to. OR, take the initiative to get more education for yourself. Many states and counties have worker retraining programs because of the massive shift taking place away from low-skilled high-paying jobs. You're not the only one to get caught up in this phenomenon, which has been taking place in one way or another for several decades now.
You might also want to take a second look at your original decision to stay in Vermont; it's a very small job market.
Good luck, Deanna

Deanna, I know there are only 170+ posts on this thread but there are almost 7,000 views. I am one of those 7,000 and have been watching and rooting for you. I'm sure there are many, many more who are doing the same. Keep a positive attitude and something will open up for you..... Jim

Review your past career, and home life and all other activities. I'm sure if you step back and take a good look you will find many instances where you have adapted to new situations. Point those out, even if they are not directly job related. When I went to work for the US Army in a QA job back in 1984 I asked the boss a few months later why he invited me in for an interview and subsequent job offer. His answer, "Adaptability." With the various jobs I had pursued he felt I could come into a new area and handle it. I did.

HI,
I am going to apply at other jobs other then manufacturing company's. Next week I'll go to my local Career Resource Center, and ask them to help me( I'll take my cover letter, resume, Letter of Recommendation), also I'll bring a list of manufacturing company's that I have applied at in my state.
If I looked at other states( New York, New Hampshire,) for jobs, I would have to do a big life change, ( my mom, and my boyfriend & extended family are here). I don't want to move to an other state. Yea, Vermont is a very small state, It is a high tax state( taxes for this and that). But also Vermont has a very low unemployment rate.
Yes, I'm willing to accept a lower compensation package, and I would adjust my living style accordingly. But once I get a job I could work my way up to what I was making. I also have retirement around the corner.

Jim,
Yea, I notice the counts on this thread. I appreciate the continued support from the people on this site, who are watching/and rooting for me on this thread/site.
I'm doing my best to keep a positive attitude. I know that I'll find a job, and it just takes time to find the right job.

I got a "letter of recommendation from a X coworker( retired, Chief Warrant Officer in the Untied States Marine Corps) he said that I quickly became one of the TOP GO-TO PEOPLE. Also I have several other excellent quality's.
Yes, I do adapt to new situations very well. Also I make decisions on the fly.
