Been a remodeling contractor for 22 years. Licensed, Insured, and have payed into the W/C in two states. I've done so many jobs I can't remember all of them, suffice it to say, Left town 5 years ago to start my business in a warmer climate. I landed my business in Florida at the height of the real estate and construction boom. Balls to the Wall Busy w/business felt like it lasted the whole year round.:thumbup: I thought, "hey, I'm jammin'!" :clap:....errrr...wrong! :furious:Now I'm in triple-digit debt and banks of course won't help, because my credit score has taken up Olympic Diving. So I moved back home to Louisville, KY where the economic situation was more stable as I thought. It seems 22 years of client relationship doesn't hold a lot of water these days when they can't spend their money. Now I find myself unemployed with out the ability to get "unemployment", wondering where I'm going to live, can't qualify for: subsidized housing, food stamps, healthcare for me or my kids. I've applied to at least 20 jobs who refuse to hire me because I don't "have a resume"
, beyond 22 years of entrepreneurship in the construction trade. :whistlingNow it's to the point where, construction companies that are working aren't hiring. What will I do??? :-/
