Even with the Eagle ford Shale going on right now, my son TJ is looking for work. Any tips would be appreciated. He has a limited skill set. Thanks in advance...Adios

| If he's just looking for work with limited skills, I would just try a temp service, I did that myself with no skills, started in shipping and receiving, now I'm a Quality Assurance Inspector level 1 for a major measurement company, this year 10 years, you just never now what you'll find |

| Have him get a TWIC card. It will open up lots of opportunities around the growing port area. Worth the investment |

What skills does he have?
Craig's list has jobs, indeed.com and monster.com are also good resources for what's available (keep an eye open for the eventual scam job that crops up). Texas Work Force Commission can be a good place to look, too.
While most of us dont want to start of frying burgers for a living, if he doesnt have the skills for something else, there are plenty of food service jobs out there. If he learns nothing else, he see why an education and/or certification in a feild is important to get. |

| Have him check over at the IBEW union hall on Saratoga near Ayers. It might be an opportunity to get in a craft apprentice program. .........cC |

Having one of those Connie Scott bumper stickers wouldn't hurt either!
