Re: whats a good field

Re: whats a good field
Go to the book store, and buy a couple books from two authors: Dan Miller, and Dave Ramsey.
Dan Miller:
48 Days to the Work You Love
http://www.48days.com/
Dave Ramsey:
The Total Money Makeover
http://www.daveramsey.com/
These guys are excellent authors, and will help you to have a plan for your life, and your money.
I'm also a bit out of shape - 6'-2", 251 lbs, and an amputee (lost my right foot in a motorcycle accident). Being overweight will definitely impact your self-esteem. One thing Dan Miller says is sometimes people just need to take a few months and focus on themselves. Get a gym membership and exercise for a couple hours a day, and it will do wonders for your self-esteem. You'll be able to hit the job market with a much higher respect for yourself, which will definitely be picked up on by the person you're interviewing with.
Dan will also say you need to tailor your resume to a functional resume, rather than a chronological resume. Focus your resume on your skills and abilities, not so much your work history. There is more than one way to write a resume - you just have to use the method that puts you in the best light.
No offense to an earlier poster that said to look for a job you can see yourself doing for the next 50 years, but I prefer to find something I truly enjoy - something that makes me excited to get out of bed every days. "Use your skills, abilities, and passions" - you may not have many skills, but everyone has abilities and passions - you just have to find out what makes you tick - what makes you excited to get out of bed every day.
When people are truly happy with their work, they are usually more successful at what they do. The love of their work tends to carry over into what they are doing, and people notice that - be it your employer, or your customers.

Re: whats a good field
I should also add that you can subscribe to Dan Millers podcast on iTunes if you're into that sort of thing - I did, they're awesome.
Dave is on the radio if you happen to be in an area that broadcasts it. You may be able to listen online too - can't remember - it's been a while since I looked.

Re: whats a good field
Weekdays 2-5 Eastern time, though not all stations play all three hours. Fridays are the best day to listen - you get to hear success stories of families that ....well, you'll just have to listen. They'll send chills up your spine. Seriously!

Re: whats a good field
You seem to have written off the automotive service industry, and this is completely understandable, given the relative oversupply of people skilled with 20th century technologies such as the internal combustion engine.
That said, electric drive vehicles, including (but not limited to) gasoline-electric hybrids, have the potential to proliferate mightily over the next several years, far beyond the market penetration of Toyota's Prius. A person with good electrical skills, working on state-of-the-art electric drive vehicles, might find themselves able to command better pay than someone stuck repairing flat tires or changing engine oil. There may be dark horse opportunities to watch for, and it may be worthwhile to try to be ready for them.
I would think very cautiously about the military; as I see it now, you can count on it taking with one hand, but may not be able to depend on the other hand delivering for you.

Re: whats a good field
your right about the hybrids and electric cars there are going to be a number of long time mechanics that just cant make it fixing those this well be years down the road when the real need for those folks comes in if it does at all im still wondering if the hybrids will make it long termyerasimos wrote:You seem to have written off the automotive service industry, and this is completely understandable, given the relative oversupply of people skilled with 20th century technologies such as the internal combustion engine.

it would be like putting all your eggs in the .com industry before it crashed.
its funny how there is such a huge demand for mechanics however i cant get a service manager to give me the time of day dimply because i dont have 15plus years of EXP and i cant get much EXP when im stuck changing oil
this is why i have written off the industry

Re: whats a good field
Companies don't pay much money for jobs that can be done by someone with no experience and no special skills. Not unless the unions have a monopoly. It's simple supply and demand.lunchbox wrote:i am once again looking for a job
i am wondering what is a good field to get into that can be done with little or no exp and is something the companies are looking for
