    Since this forum has more Traffic, I figured I'd post here if that's ok with Webbie. (the Jobs section is DEAD)

    Does anyone here know of any places hiring? (this is especially useful since I'm new to the area)

    A little of what I've done in the past.

    Bowling Alley Mechanic
    Waiter/Server
    Construction Helper, Carpenter Helper
    Produce Associate at Walmart (though I'll NEVER work for them again, but perhaps some other grocery store)
    Campground Clerk (checked in guests, so this crosses over to Hotels)
    Furniture Assembler and unpacker for a Furniture Store's Warehouse
    Tutor for Math, Mostly Elem. & Middle school age

    I'm good with numbers, great with kids, Reliable, Dependable, and will give you notice of any time off that I may need (and when I say need, I mean NEED, not just want)

    any help would be appreciated, I need something to help support my beautiful bride and daughter.

    You can go to any ESC office where they can help. You can also check the newspaper want ads, sites like JobFinder.com or Employment Guide.com, etc. Do you have any sales experience? I saw in the Jobs section of CarolinaWeeklyNews.com where the Verizon stores are hiring for cellular sales in Clayton and Smithfield.

    Ok, one ? what is an ESC office? and I've been looking on all the sites, Jobfinder, monster, yahoo, etc...but I'm hoping to find from everyone here maybe Knowing that a certain location is hiring....like Foodlion by 40/42 or CVS on Business 70 near Lowe's Foods....places that may not be advertising it. Maybe a friend owns a bar or restraunt and is hiring....just looking for inside info that may not be so well publicized.

    I have an application in at Rose Manor Dry Cleaners (never done that before, and I'm willing to take nearly anything!)

    there is a new restaurant gonna be opening in August up on the corner of 42 and Cleveland Rd so if you want to get back into that you could probably go up there and talk to them - they are up there every day working on the place. Good luck, it is a tough market now.

    ESC = Employment Security Commission office operated by the state. Some offices are more helpful in finding local openings than others.

    Just FYI...
    The job I have now, I found on CL. It suprised me. I sent resumes to several companies that advertised there and never heard from a single one until I replied to my current company. This is a great job!

    I found mine on CL too. There are tons of scams on there, so be careful, but I absolutely LOVE the job I have from there. :cheers:

    Ok, where exactly? the corner I know has the CVS Walgreens and carwash...is it right there? or down the road a bit....I'll head there today as soon as I know where to look! Does it have a sign out front yet?


    Thanks to all those who have given me hope...and I am checking CL everyday as well as here.

    Kind of picky for someone in search of an income.

    So, yet another restaurant is gonna try their luck in that location? They need to just put a write on/wipe off board up since they change names weekly. :jester:

    well, the reason I won't work at Walmart again is because of how UNFAIRLY they treated me. I was working there for 2 years, and while doing my job, correctly, the way I was trained and clocked in, I was injured. They refused to pay the medical bills claiming it was a NON-WORK RELATED INJURY, and then subsequently Fired me for "calling off too many times" when in those 2 years and 2 months, I called off 4 times total. Another associate whom I worked with, called off many more times, as well as left his shift early, or came in late (hours late, not minutes) regularly. So they kept him.

    They also cheated me out of overtime pay (which thankfully was settled in court as a class action lawsuit), routinely told me that if I didn't work overtime I would be fired, and denied me time off during my recovery.

    Gee, now why would I want to work for Walmart again?

    Thanks to those who weren't criticizing and gave me some good leads.

    I went today and walked all of the 40/42 area on the CVS side of the Bridge. Tomorrow I'll hit up the Golden Corral side.

    I got the number for the new bar/restaurant coming in at the "dry erase board Restaurant"
    and some other leads.

    but if you find out any more info, i'll take it!

    I would have rather it been a Blooms, but I'll take Food Lion, since it's about 2 minutes from my house.
