If you don't mind me asking were you fired for misconduct (also known as terminated for cause). If so make sure they have proof (i.e. something you signed for like a work manual or something). If they don't then you might have grounds to get unemployment.
As far as employment now..best bet would probably be the temp agencies. I feel it is better then retail because you will probably make more plus it might give you a foot in a door if they see you are a hard worker and keep you on permanently at an established company...

Thanks for all the help, suggestions, & info guys. I actually attended a Verizon job fair at the call center today. Came dressed to impress, had a short interview, & landed a real interview on monday @3pm. I'm gonna stay optimistic & take this as a positive sign, because another guy I know came to the fair dressed in jeans & casual wear & afterwards they said they would "call him" to setup an interview....
I'm gonna spend my weekend brushing up on all my verizon info & preparing for this interview because I REALLY need this job. It doesn't pay as much as my last gig, but Verizon is a very good company to get on with because there is always room for growth within the company, unlike my last job.
As far as unemployment, they denied me for misconduct, but there is no proof or write ups showing any gross misconduct, so I will still try to appeal it regardless. Either way, I DESERVE unemployment IMO...

There is a DBI plant here in sac! It's in west sac.. I work for the competitior! NorCal Bev and we do budweiser. I will ask tomorrow if we are hiring! We only hire through word of mouth, gotta be friends or family with someone in our company to get in but last I heard some guys may get laid off cause we are slow during the winter.
Yo Dustin, sorry to hear about your struggle. I recently went through the same thing and finally scored a job and had to start as a temp just to get in!! Worke my A$$ off to secure my job during the layoffs!!! If I can get u in then I'll try. Also have a friend that tests fire alarms. I'll see if they still need people for you too!! Pay is good, I refuse to work for minimum wage and I'm sure u are the same!!!

Epik, PM me with the person who you interview with (if you feel comfortable doing so). Maybe I can put in a good word for you. I do A LOT of application development for them, and made some pretty good friends over there.

I figured there was one out there my folks seems to drive out there a lot. Even if he cannot drive, where there are truck deliveries usually means warehouse work too. BTW is this Casey?

@ CASEY... Thanks bro, I appreciate that. congrats on the job @ DBI. If anything becomes available please do let me know. You are correct, I work my ass off too, but I will not work for minimum wage...
@ N8... I will get their name on monday & hit u up as soon as I'm done with the interview. Thanks!!!
@ Don, thanks man. I never have took much pride to ask for a helping hand when I need one, & I also would be the one to offer someone a hand if they needed it in return...
@ Navid. Supposedly I did something that is against code, so I was denied for that reason. I do have the option to appeal it though as well, which I may do if I don't land a job soon...

Dustin, you should appeal regardless because if you win, you'll get the backpay

Thanks guys... It's been pretty tough, I haven't been jobless since 2004, & of course I was making a pretty decent living at my last job so I acquired a few bills from living comfortably. At this point in time, NEITHER of the cars are for sale, & most likely the stang would go before the Caddy if I did get to that point, but for now, don't bother asking about the cars...
@ Corey, please do look into a job at Safelite, that would be perfect. Of course the pay won't be as good, but I'm sure it's better than minimum wage?
I may look into retail soon, although it will hurt my pride a bit to go from $30 hr back down to minimum wage, but you gotta do what u gotta do I guess?
I have looked into Comcast & didn't see any positions available on their site as of late.
A class A license would be nice, but unfortunately time is not my friend, I need a job as of yesterday....
Thanks for the help & suggestions fellas...
dustin try astound cable in rocklin i been with them for over years but out here in the bay. where always looking for sales rep, or even tech.
