Default New Job!

Ive been outa work since Dec 31st after being laid off from my previous job of almost 32 years at International Paper in Franklin Va. After searching the job market for a good job, paying comparable wages and filling out hundreds of applications it came to an end yesterday! The first place I applied was Nucor Steel in Hertford N.C. Ive been going through the rather lenghty hiring process for almost 6 months and yesterday I got the call I've been waiting for. I start Monday as a shift mechanic. The pay and benefits are Great! I'll start on all days for the first couple of months then go to shift. They work 12hr shifts of 4 days on, off 4 days and 4 nights on and off 4 days. I think I'll like it. Only work half a year, more time for boating and fishing!!

Great news!

4 days off = awesome! I wish I could do that. They used to let us work 4 - 10's. I did it for a year or more and I loved it. Unfortunately they put a stop to it a few years ago.

Mucho congratulations C!!

Congratulations. I hope it is the last job you will ever have to look for. Those 12 hour days can be rough I am sure, but knowing you always have 4 days off coming soon would get me through it.

Hey C

You and I talked about that place when you first got the word. I have a friend that works there.

You got a good job there.

P/s Are you a X Marine They usually only hire them.

Good for you congrats.
