Unfortunately, there is nothing important about it.:redface:

Why do you say this Barry? Of course this position is very important to the success of this new company

I don't ever wanna hear you say this again

On a side note.....I have retitled my on position....From this point on, I wanna be known as a Automotive Appearence Consultant :-B

Good news Barry. Should be a great fit for you.

Great news Barry.

yay Barry!, best of luck mate

That is really good news. I'm very happy for you. Maybe the new company will grow to be as big as B&H photo video in NYC someday.

imported_gewb · Jan 15, 2011

Fantastic! Congrats!

Interesting that audio/video workers seem to be attracted to TID - you, Jack and I have followed similar A/V paths...I spent about 2 years as a rep, another year in retail and 3 years in consulting/design.

Great news Barry!

I worked my whole career (35 years at Burns & McDonnell Engineering) so that I could retire.

I've been retired for 18 months and now I'm SO thankful that I have a part-time job consulting. It's about 16 hours a week and I love it!

I can't believe how agonizingly long last winter was with no work and nothing to do!!!

Congrats on your job! WORK IS GOOD. :thumbup:

I was referring to the grand scheme of things.
I like the title of Automotive Appearance Consultant:thumbup:

I think so. I worked with him before and we really work well together.

Thank you Al.

Thank you Mo.
Use this as a lesson. Stay in school and get good grades, so you will have something strong to fall back on.

Actually I would be selling to places like B&H. As a matter of fact, they used to be my customer.

Thank you Gary.
Yeah, I had a conversation with Jack a while ago about this, and we actually knew a lot of the same people in the industry.

I was really starting to get ancy. I need to get back to a steady income as well.
It's good to hear from you. It's been far to long, and I missed our communicating here on TID. Stay in touch.:thumbup:

Well, after 8 months of being out of work, it looks like I will finally be going back to work. I have been in the Audio/Video industry for some time, and due to the bad economy and the housing market drying up, the AV industry has really taken a beating. One of my past employers broke off from his old partner and started a new Rep. firm and wants me to work for him. Unfortunately, he won't be able to pay me a salary, but will pay commission and all of my expenses. This is actually a very good thing. Because I will not be a salaried employee, and will be working as a consultant, I will still be able to do the detailing work when it presents itself. This just might be the best of both worlds for me.
Thanks for listening everyone!!:clap:

Glad to hear it, must be the lucky Microfibers!

I am happy to hear the excitement in you post...All the best, just don't forget us over here..you hear? LOL

I think you are right. As soon as I got them, my luck seemed to turn.:wink:
I would never stop posting here. I have met so many great people that I now consider friends (you are certainly on that list).

I feel the same way!

Congrats on getting back to work!! I was laid off last spring and tried detailing for a sole source of income and the economy and cold weather kicked my butt! I just got a call back last week to resume my position as production supervisor at the same rate of salary!! I start back tomorrow morning. What a relief!!!

Sounds like we have been in the same boat. I am happy for you as well.
Good luck tomorrow, and let us know how it works out for you.
