<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedy, post: 673756, member: 705&quot;]The coin business is kindof like the funeral home business in a way - you don&#039;t see job openings in the Help Wanted ad part of the newspaper. In most cases the jobs are filled by someone that the owner knows, or was suggested to by a friend.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my case - I&#039;m currently looking for another job - since I&#039;ve worked within the funeral world for a few years I started by contacting as many funeral directors that I could by email all over the state. I asked if they were looking for someone, and also gave a short overview of what I&#039;ve done, and my skills. Very few wrote me back, but those who did I would bet would be very willing to suggest me to their friends if they knew of an opening.</p><p>Those who didn&#039;t write me back either didn&#039;t get the email, weren&#039;t intrested, or just printed my info and put it in the file for interested persons.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would say that within the next few months I&#039;ll have a job with a FH somewhere in the state, and if not now, most will remember me and contact me down the road just to check in.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another thing I do, and you should too, is to attend any meetings that owners will be at - conventions, shows, business lunch, etc.</p><p>Most of the time if you don&#039;t already have a pass, someone with the show/lunch/etc will work with you since you are intrested in the work, and would like to get a job soon!</p><p><br /></p><p>The best advice I can give you is to keep the contacts running - at this time, your job is finding a job, and that isn&#039;t just a 8hr job, that is a 24hr job for you. </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck!</p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
