At least I’m not alone…
April 17th, 2009 by Larry D. Burton
I was let go today.
While I needed the income I can’t say that I’m completely upset about this situation. Oh, I’m a little concerned about paying my bills but I honestly believe that there is something out there that I’m suppose to do and this was God’s way of giving me the opportunity to find it.
I know that now is not a good time to be seeking employment so I’m looking for work mainly, just about anything to bring in an income. I won’t turn down employment but I’ve got to be truthful to myself about prospects and I think I’m more likely to find paying work than finding employment. I think I may be happier that way also.
I will now start the process of updating my résumé and several webpages (LinkedIn, CareerBuilders, this site and others I operate) and start looking for work. If you need someone who is very experienced with Wonderware, RSView, ControlLogix, PLC5 and SLC50x, OPC servers and clients or building and maintaining websites please give my a yell. My rates are reasonable and I’m currently available.

Ah, that is bad to hear, Larry. As you say, you are not alone, but that is weak comfort for somebody who is used to working hard and being valued.
Good luck in finding paying work. I think you will, because you have approached looking for work as you would a job, full-time work finding work.
