Dude, I hear ya...car salesman isn't a bad option. Just take some time to get where you are making money.

Nothing going on at my work....I'm not happy anyway and wouldn't recommend it. Things are changing too in the next couple months....either better or worse. After they baby is born I'll be looking to get out myself.

I'll keep my ears open though. I know there's a company called LakeSide Software that is looking for an inside sales person....a friend of mine just hired in and the add said they were looking for 3. So they may still be hiring.

Job market still ain't that great my friend....

My buddy is starting Tuesday...he used me as a reference.
They sell monitoring software to companies...basically lets them monitor bandwidth, applications, keep track of licensing, watch employees....you know the drill. 5% commission to start with bumps at certain levels. Base is mid to high 30's. That's all I know.

Someone told me about another job opp...can't remember name. Selling software for realestate appraisals or something like that. In Birmingham. I can find out more if you don't mind that drive.

key words "one single thread" 99% of your shit is bullshit anyway so why should we bend over backwards for your ass when 99% your time is spent ridiculing people and making stupid none sense posts. So go try monster.com or the newspaper and find a job your damn self and stop making everyone feel sorry for you and do the work for you.

Again, I am in awe at your immaturity, good work. :lol: And you wonder why you're not liked and shunned from so many people. :lol: :rofl: I posted here to get others serious opinions on career moves and what have you, I never asked anyone to find me a job. :lol: By the way, I'd like my groceries in plastic bags, not paper. Thanks.

HAHAHAHA I was at Quicken for almost 2 years, and I make waaaaaaaaaaay more than you. The mortgage industry is a volitile one, and the turn over in my field is very high. The average Loan Consultant life span at Quicken is 4 months. That tell you anything? Truth be told I have a job that I start this Thursday at Wells Fargo...the largest lender in the US. And I'll be making even more there, then I was at Quicken.

You don't care about the people that shun you huh? Is that why you IM, PM, Email and call them every single weekend...with no success? Nice try there, champ. Now, go back to ringing up groceries, and come see me when you get a life. :lol:

ok first off i never did half the shit you say but whatever. And groceries ha, you wish you had a stable job like mine and btw i work on cars for living something you'll NEVER be able to do, so go pay some to install your shit since you can't. And as for the turn over, i have NEVER heard about a turnover that high in that industry or any others for that matter.it comes down to you not being able to do you your job CORRECTLY...maybe less time searching porn sites and more time doing your job then things wouldn't be so bad. So why not just have a mod delete these same threads on like 4 differnet sites and go about your shit. I think it's just a desperate attempt for you to gain attention much like that supposed "letter". So i think your just in need of alot of attention and loving from somewhere, but just not from here b/c you won't find any.

Are you fuckin kidding? My traing class at Quicken was 58 people. When I left there was ONE other person still there...and that person stopping writing loans 1 year earlier and went into basically answering phones. As far as not being able to do my job correctly is concerned, you couldn't be more wrong! I was always in the top 25% of the company for writing and underwriting loans...ALWAYS! Plus, if I was so bad at what I do, why do I have so much to show for it? House, cars, healthy wife and daughter, pets, etc. While you on the other hand have a 15 year old shit box car and a farm truck. Yeah, I have a beater, but it serves a purpose, I never claimed it to be anything other than transportation from here to there when it's raininf nd snowing...so that my nice car, stays nice. You work on cars huh? So you're a grease monkey? Yeah, that's awesome. :lol: You seem to be doing really well for yourself. :rofl: You know nothing about the mortgage industry, so please don't try to pretend like you do. Turn over is higher in the mortgage than most every other line of work right now. Ask anyone who DOES know. As far as porn at work is concerned, get your head out of your ass, do you really think that I would even attempted to connect to any porn site from a work PC? If you really think that, then you're dumber than I originally thought. And that's pretty fuckin dumb! And I do work on my own cars, aside from tuning, everything that is getting done to my car before spring is getting done by me. Now, go change some oil for $7.00 an hour. :lol: :rofl:

wow that was a SUCH a intresting attempt a burn that turned into a *****-whinny complain filled post. Sounds like you have some issues in your life that need to be resovled bro. If i remeber correctly there was 2 posts and many more one was a someone swapping a rear end into your shitty ass cobra and another one to hookup your NAWWWZ. I'm not some dumbass prick you think i am so you wanna bring you GED education and try and battle me intellilectually fine or i can get down and dirty. Whatever you choose. But you started this EXACT same post on atleast 3 different boards and that says you want someone to find you a job plain and simple. Just admit it and this will go away. If you wanted advice you have just asked "umm i answer phones and sell stupid ppl bs laons over the phone and i want a new career" but instead you post your entire resume and basically indirectly ask ppl to quote unquote pass it around. So stop manipulating things and people might take your shit alittle more seriously and maybe try not being a complete cocksucking asshole to people and you might be ok in life. You have no idea how many peopl really hate you Al and just put on a front to make you think they like you when in fact behind your sleezy back there talking alsorts of shit and really dispise you. So go crawl back into hole i mean house and shut the fuck up. Myself and many others are tired of your shit.

Sad... I say to Al that he doesn't need to say to be serious when he is posting a serious thread here. Come to find out I was wrong.

We don't have a lot of rules here, but we do have one main rule...no bashing other members. You don't have to like certain people here, but instead of trashing this site, keep your nasty comments off the forums.

This is getting old. Anymore about this and the person will be banned....no exceptions.
