Oof that's gonna be rough. I would check in with the local radio stations and see if they need overnight engineers. Money sucks, but it's work. CBS (Live 105), Cumulus (KFOG, the Bone) and Clear Channel (every other radio station) operate in SF.

I have a B.F.A. in Motion Pictures and Television, Post Production.
I don't think life as a Marine would work out with me too well. i have had several surgeries following a wreck so i dont think i would be physically qualified.

@Subaruwrx ill pm you for your email and send you my resume.

Thanks man!

Oh yea? What division?

Jobs here are really competitive these days. We get hundreds of applications for admin/ facilities jobs. The very specific Engineering & sciences jobs are even very competitive.

You really have to know someone on the inside. My group also likes military experience.

It was an operations position. I'm a vendor and a national account and managed transportation on the last big event @ Fort Hunter Leggit. Everyone was super happy with the job I did (and it was a PAIN IN THE *** to Coordinate) but my main contact quit right when I applied for the position.
You know Richard Pearce?
