Perhaps an egg to keep warm?

Actually that was just his tagline - yours is configurable under your profile, as well as goofy avatars and industry (or hobby) related little gifs under your name, etc.

All of which is beside the point.

Give us a few more details on what you have done in the past, what your range of travel is, what country you are in....it is an international board.

I would be happy to send you my resume, which would shed a light on my experience(history). Would I send it via email,or is there a way to send it in this format. By the way, have you been involved with ECV?

Dear Edigan,

I now live in Sparks Nevada (near Reno). I am 66 and have been unemployed for over a year. My last employer (Power Up)was manufacturing controls for tow trucks, hydraulic systems. I originaly started with General Telephone in Malibu, Calif. I wish I would have stayed with them,instead I went with W.C.Dillon & Co.,and was involved in the manufacture of stress strain measuring equipment and their related readouts.I am well versed in BCD logic (I imagine that nowadays it is superfluous).

Any further comments would be welcome.

Contact local employment agencies and send in a CV/resumé with a covering letter stating the range of employment options desired.

It is highly inadvisable to post an e-mail address in an international forum. E-mail addresses are easily harvested by spambots. They quickly bombard it with advertisements for non-prescription pharmaceuticals, scam requests to update on-line banking details, links to matters of an intimate nature and scams purporting to be about getting large sums of money out of Nigeria, rendering the address practically useless.
