Hey there folks,
Yeah - I've been MIA for a little while now. I struggled to find work in NYC area - and things just went from Bad to Worse! So - towards the end of Sept. I made a big life change. Packed up my car - putting most of my life in Storage - then hit the road and drove West Old Man...
About 8 days later I arrived in San Francisco - where I am now living at my sister's place. So, I've been looking for work out here. Even applied to a job at "X" - the special hi-tech lab of Google. They had a job for a 3D Printing specialist. I would have been Perfect for the job - as I had everything they wanted. But, maybe they saw me as too old, working too many years, and probably thought I would need more $$$ than they wanted to pay for the position - and, as such - I never heard back from them. I even had not One but TWO Internal referrals - but, alas, that didn't help...
I'm even looking for possible FoxPro work - which is the main reason I am making this posting.
Anyone know of any FoxPro work in the Cali area? Preferably in the SF Bay area. Although, I will consider elsewhere in Cali.
TIA! -K-
Kurt,
Welcome to CA! Nice to know another VFP/FP guy in the area (there aren't that many left....) The last time I searched for VFP type jobs, I found a few scattered over the east coast and a couple down in LA.
Given that I also have grey hair syndrome, I can commiserate with your struggle. If you want, get in touch and I may be able to give you some ideas.
The one takeaway I have found is that the top companies (Amazon, Facebook, etc.) all get a huge hit because everyone wants to work there. But that makes it easier to focus on the companies that don't generate the same prestige.
Otherwise, have a very happy Thanksgiving!
Fletcher

No, not expecting you to die, just joking :-) I did grow up watching "The streets of San Francisco" and the Dirty Harry films, which always come to mind when anyone mentions SF.
