Please keep your eyes and ears open for available mechanical/assembly/design engineer positions, preferably in the MA/NH area.
Mike is on the hunt again, and I'm really hoping he's successful this time.
Too many jobs have come his way and he's been this || close, but obviously not close enough.
His workplace royally sucks, and he's wanted out for such a long time now.


Thanks all.

edit: forgot to add - if your company isn't hiring, but you know of a recruiting company that you could recommend, that would also be helpful.

this was sent to me by my recruiter.
unfortunately it is temp job with a one year contract, most likely.
i can go check the board here today to to see if there are any full time job openings.

It's unfortunate you just bought a house and settled down. One of my mech-eng friends is doing an interesting see-the-world type program with a company. Every six months for two years they transfer her to a different position at a different site (rather like doing four internships) and at the end any of them can hire her full-time. She just moved from Laconia to Kansas with her fiancee and their dog, and in February will be going to England. I think California's on the list as well.

Anyway - my company doesn't do much in the way of physical engineering, but I'll ask some of my friends.

raise your hand if you hate your job.... {raises hand}

i hope he finds what he's looking for!

I'm guessing something in western MA is WAY too far right?

whatchoo got?

Well, two people (out of four) are most likely leaving relatively quickly. We could use someone even if no one leaves. I will talk to my boss today to see if there is actually an opening, and not just speculation.

where in western ma?

Agawam. In the industrial park if you know it.

what type of positions might these be?

and where the heck is agawam?
it sounds familiar.
