Need some help in the REAL World...

As this community is very supportive, I’m reaching out for any ideas/suggestions/referrals folks can offer. I’m about to become a “Statistic” in the REAL World… The company I work for (Major Defense Contractor) just lost our contract with the US Air Force due to Washington Budget cuts… At our site in Dayton Ohio, our entire site (1,000 folks) have been let go over the past few months. I am (1) of the last 114… But our Date is March 6th, 2012.

So I’m looking for some networking on the Job Front… My Background is Risk, Audit, Compliance. (20) years experience for Major Corp (most Finance) with an MBA and good references. I’m looking in the Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis, and Louisville area but would be willing to travel anywhere… If anyone knows of any Full or Contract opportunities in this area, I would greatly appreciate a heads-up for them.

Thanks
:)

Mark,

I work for a defense contractor as well. Sorry to hear your contract went away. I sent you a friend request and might be able to help. I’ll send you an e-mail once I’m able to.

Mark, I haven’t been in your shoes of late, having just sold my own business recently. But one thing off the top I would recommend is a different hat, and maybe switch up the green tie.

…now,now, everyone, he can take it. I’ve seen his witty work here. haha.

Mark, you already have what sounds like fantastic leads/support in previous posts, so I figured a little silly therapy was on tap.

And don’t forget, you are going to be a bajillionaire (with EE’s golden ticket) soon.

Great fortune to you!

Don’t know if this suggestion would helpful to you, Mark…but my husband gets tons of job offers from all over the country ever since he listed his resume on Monsters.com quite awhile back!

Sorry to hear you and so many others are in this situation and wish you much success in finding something suitable!

Sorry to hear that Mark. You really have some great credentials!! Plus, your skills are needed in soooo many big companies! I’m confident that you’ll be snapped up! I’ll keep my eyes and ears open! In the meantime, don’t wait for a business to list an opening, contact companies first. Lots of businesses have an opening, or know they will in the near future—-and fill them without ever listing them.
