    I for one just want to say I am impressed with your resume. I suck at telling folks what I have done, sometimes it is hard to explain. Do you really need a job? What do you want to do?

      Yes, I really need a job. I have a lot of fun with the boat towing but they cut my days for the slow season. I have a daughter in high school. Her and life are expensive. Plus we like hunting and fishing and that aint cheap.
      I am open to anything at that moment that will lead to a long term job. I would prefer some office and sales or shop combination role.

              That's a long haul to either location. I'll keep an eye out if something more regionally appropriate pops up.

                    Its a lot more about coordinating between facility operators, architects, engineers, and builders. I don't have any say in the hiring, not my department, but it looks like an interesting gig that might align with your experience.
