I pretty much echo the other people on this thread, I am quitting my current job, last day is Friday, but I've had the new one lined up for three weeks now. Don't be affriad to jump into a work place just for a few weeks till you get yourself a new job. These people don't give a **** about you, so don't give a **** about them when you get hired and quit after 4 weeks.
Thanks SubyNooby! .....so are they hiring at your new job? hahah what about the old one....pm me any info that would be helpful...tanx mang!

so what are you looking for? Other than 'a job'... folks could be a bit more helpful if you are more specific in what you are looking for.

good luck!

Look buddy, just trying to help you out here. It's the internet and I can't read your tone of 'voice', so I am not sure why you address me with all CAPS.

I am a senior software engineer at Intel, that's my day job. And yes, there are job openings around here. However, they mostly require BS/MS/PhD. There are few that only requires high school diploma, but they still require a certain level of technical understanding. Without knowing your background, what you are looking for, it's difficult for people to help you out. I didn't even bother with how you terminated your previous job. The way I see it, it's done and over with, move on. But without knowing a bit more about you, there is no way in hell I will refer you the job. It's my reputation on the line.

I've seen many folks in BAIC looking for jobs. But in their posts, they usually state, current status (working/student), degree if any or major, brief background/history, and what he/she is looking for. Then people with opening would post in the thread. Few folks posted here know of opening and they didn't post it here might be because of your lack of information.

Either way good luck...

I am pretty good with time management. I learned from my high school instructor early on. When you don't have time, MAKE TIME!

Also, something has to give, in this case, my personal time. Although I have a pretty good day job, love the work, love the people, love the PAY. Hell I even get to travel to places and do things 99.99% of the people don't get to do. But I know I won't be an engineer forever and rather own my business.

I also believe in quality over quantity so doing smaller number of cars is okay for me. It allows me to move up in quality with no rush.
