Here's the good news: We have this thread that will keep on growing. Here's the bad news: Not everyone knows about this thread.

So, enough of this chit-chat; let's look at jobs and careers. Start here now.

Here's a thread Yaelle started you may wish too look at:

Vanity: Are There Freepers Wishing to Hire Other Freepers?

We have some FReepers desperate to get back into the workforce after being laid off, with families to support. Great guys and gals who believe the way you believe. If they are local to you, wouldn't you prefer to give one of them the chance over just anyone off the street?

Here's a thread Yaelle started you may wish too look at...

Thank you so much for the lead, Cindy!

[Windflier]

I hope that helps a bit.

Those are all great suggestions, Cindy. Thank you so much.

Sometimes, a person is too immersed and interiorized in their own operation to see it from an exterior viewpoint. Such is the case with me.

I was just thinking that it's just nuts that I don't have a website up for my gutter business (we do for another business we have).

I'll work on implementing your very good suggestions right away. They're all good promotion ideas.

Thank you!

Thank you Windflier.

God bless you and I’ll pray for you.

You have a hearty spirit.
You will make it.

Looking forward to your feedback.

[Yaelle]

Bumping and thanks!

And bumping again.

Another idea:

Get a magnetic sign that advertises your business.
You can attach it to your vehicle(s) as desired.
Free advertising as you drive.

(Note: Take sign off vehicle and lock it up when arriving at your destination. Thieves like magnetic signs for some reason.)

[Cindy]

Thank you for the Yaelle and Jet Jaguar.

“Retirement Plan Options for Business Owners”
Posted by: on October 19, 2009

SNIPPET: “As a small business owner, you assume all of the risk for your retirement. Yet you may be so focused on the day-to-day operations of your business that you have not taken the time even to consider your options. However, with proper planning you can turn this challenge into an opportunity.”

Get a magnetic sign that advertises your business. You can attach it to your vehicle

Yep, I've got that on the truck now. I've got to get down to the sign guy and get the phone number on it changed, though.

Funny thing is, I've had signs on my truck for about eight years, and we've only gotten maybe three jobs because of them in all that time. I keep them on mostly for PR's sake. Looks good to the neighbors when I'm working on a house.

Thanks for thinking of me.
