They are hiring in Atlanta and I am wanting a job, lol. Seriously though, I'm very interested in CNC and machining in general which is why I got a machining diploma way back in 2001. This whole job search deal has been very frustrating, and I'd really like it to be over with already. I know I would be good in the position but I swear it seems you've got to know someone in order to get a job in this day and age. So here I am, trying to get to know someone

Thanks

I wish I could help! Best of luck! I know how badly you want to get out of southwest KS.

I worked for them from 1989-2007 but in a different region. I don't know anyone in the Atlanta region. What position are you looking at?

It's titled CNC Application Engineer Trainee. It's an entry level position but that's ok. I don't mind starting out low. I have a lot to learn.

Thanks guys

I wasn't aware they had a trainee program for applications. I would be prepared to travel quite often for extended periods of time.
Applications Engineers do everything from a simple time study of how long it will take to machine a customers part on a given machine, to full blown turn key systems with on site set-up, qualification run off, and customer training.
I'll think about who I may know that I could reach out to. I have been gone a while but I still keep in touch with a few guys.

Thanks Tim. They say the travel is 25-30% in the listing. If it's much more than that I'm not interested. Otherwise, it sounds interesting.
