I have worked in the Electronics Assembly for 20+ years and was laid off of work back in Oct 2007 and now am finding it very hard to find anything that i seem to qualify for.. The company that i worked for didn't give out certficates of anything that i did, but just put me in different areas to learn the job. Now i have the experinece but nothing with me to back up with i qualify for.. It's very hard to get an job back iin that field and have taken a part time job, but quit it after thinking that i'd be able to go back into the same co. to work again. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get back out there in this field again. It concerned liquid and solid soldering, visualling the parts to be sure that they were okay and working with the small units and large one. Thank you.
