So who all is hiring?
So, who's hiring in Roanoke right now? Some of you know the story of what happened, and some don't, but I'm no longer at ACF. I've been at First Team Auto Mall for a month or two now and the money just isn't there. I hate the way their pay plan is structured, and can barely make ends meet with the money I'm making there--in some cases, can't even make my ends meet. It's a drastic change from the lifestyle I'm used to living. To sum it up, salary there doesn't really even equal minimum wage. You have to sell a respectable number of cars to make more than $1000/month, and I've never worked such long hours for such little money before. I guess that's the end of my rant, I'm not posting this to bash what a lot of people refer to as a horrible employer--I'm here for advice on finding a new and better job. I don't expect to make six figures right off the bat, but I would certainly like to get back in some sort of office environment or something close to it at least, and make reasonable money. I can't live off of $403 every two weeks after taxes, after putting in 120 hours or so. Just can't do it. My car payment is right at $300, and I have other bills just like the majority of you guys. So how are you guys paying the bills? Where can I go?
I'm an experienced debt collector, graphic/web designer, and a fast learner. I also have sales experience, obviously. Do you guys know anything maybe I don't? I've browsed through the paper and VEC's website, but haven't found anything that struck my fancy yet. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
