I would try to revise the Education part of your resume. List that you have a high school diploma and the school that it is from. List the college you went to and the field of study you began in. Do you have any education relating to CNC work or is it all hands on knowledge? List that also if you do.

Go to the Michigan Works site and click on the Michigan Talent Bank. There should be many jobs in your area looking for someone with a CNC/machinist/ tooling background.

I see adds up here (Saginaw) frequently for workers with CNC knowledge.
Kinda makes me wish I would have gone to school for it.

Good luck. The more resumes you send out the better your chances are.

Thanks for the advise duckman I will definitely edit my resume asap. I just left the college part bank because I only attended classes that were general classes and did not finish school. I actually took a few semesters at henry ford community college and the classes I took were english, math, psychology, sociology. Do you think I should still list the schools and courses studied? Any help is greatly apprieciated this is my first time being laid off and the first time I have ever had to make a resume. I have worked for the same shop since straight out of high school 9 years ago and it is sad to see they maybe closing down because of our economy. The people that I worked with were just like family so it has been a real shocker not going to work this week. Thanks again Joel

Glad to help. It is tough out there right now, lots of people loosing their jobs and looking for work.
Are you going to file for unemployment benefits? If you do and you should, I believe you need to register at a Michigan Works office to be able to get your benefits started but not sure on that, long time since I received unemployment. They have a resume program and job search set up nice and easy to search for jobs.
I looked on the MTB site last night for CNC work and found quite a few openings in your area.

Give enough info on your resume so the prospective employer won't have to many unanswered questions. Any type of education is good to list. For the college just list the college and call your study liberal arts.
At the same time don't clutter it up with a bunch of trivial tasks or duties.

A good resume format can be found on Google.

Best of luck!

I'll get it on my way to class tomorrow. Its right on my way to Macomb Community College.

They usually have one of those hanging boards out front and almost always there is a Experienced CNC Operator plank hanging. I've been half tempted to learn CNC just to see what that job was about, but I'm more of a business\IT kinda person.

I'll let you know in here or from a PM tomorrow evening.

There was a posting in the machine shop at MCC last week. I know Dietronics had interviews going last week and hired just about everyone interviewed at MCC. If you are non union and want a job Dietronic has openings in Auburn Hills. I heard of several shops hiring today. Look for aerospace or military accounts they are real busy. I will get more info and pass it along. I know Suppa Roosta works at dietronics now. He might be able to get you more info there?

Hey thanks so much guys I really appreciate it times are tough out there. I worked for the same place since straight out of high school and would have never guessed the company that I was previously with would be going down the tubes. Machining is a tough industry to be in and I need all the help I can get. Thanks Joel

If you can network and keep your eyes open shops are still hiring for CNC setup guys. I am in the cutting tool business and started out at the ground level as a appretice and moved toward CNC's quite a while back right ojut of highschool. Even owned a shop for quite a while. It was a good move and good guys in this field will always be able to find a job. I hear of openings all the time. I know you can check with some of the machine dealers also. I sold machines for a year and you don't know how many times i had a customer tell me if i could find them a setup guy for the machine they would buy it. I talked my son out of going into this field a few years ago when he was graduating. Since then I have regretted it.

Some shops are calling the colleges looking for students about to finish machine shop classes. The good guys are staying put and its becoming a field not many are going into anymore. Those that will have a hard time finding jobs are the automotive guys.

tomorrow I might be down in your area so I will keep my eyes open.

We are hiring at Classic Turning and I am sure they would hire you with that kind of experience. The problem is that we are located in Jackson and that is a huge commute so you would have to relocate. Send me a pm if interested
