NS Job Update
Well, I went to the interview session a few weeks ago, and unfortunately, I didn't get the job. I got as far as taking the assessment tests and that was it. From what I could tell, they picked about 15 people for interviews and most if not all were much younger than the other 60 that didn't get picked. Which is understandable since they probably didn't have a family to worry about not seeing and wouldn't have any issues with the 24/7/365 schedule. But, I'm still trying for other jobs with the railroad. I'm still applying with CSX, NS and Amtrak. And honestly, I am hoping some day to get the chance to work in the shops instead, so I'm trying for those jobs, as well as ticket and baggage agents with Amtrak.
So, as of right now on the job front, I'm now working for another machine shop here in Dayton. It's a good place to work, but the whole industry scares me now with plants closing more and more, and these jobs being sent out of the states. So, I'm still looking elsewhere. But, I have a physical abilities test for a Walmart DC this Wednesday at 8:00am. From what I have been able to find out, the job pays pretty well, up to double what I'm making now. We're crossing our fingers.
And on a side note, we are in the process of looking for a new house. We have outgrown our current place and are in the market for something about 3500+ sq.ft. And if anyone is interested, we are going to be selling our 2600 sq.ft. home. It has 3 bed, 3.5 bathrooms, practically everything has been replaced since 2007 when we bought it. It has a 2 car garage and is sitting on 5.5 acres. We also have a 32'x40' 2-4 stall horse barn with tack room, workshop and hay loft. The barn isn't in good shape, but it does serve a purpose of storing our tractors, lawn equipment and my truck. There is about a 1/2-3/4 acre corral and the remaining 3 acres are pasture with a pond. The rooms of the home are pretty big and the property would be great for a horse lover or some other agriculture purpose. So, if interested, you can contact me at contact@jgmconst.com
That's all I know for now. Until next time.
