I am currently looking for a welding job but I can't seem to find one in the charlotte area but I stay here in chalotte and even if I could find one you have to have massive experince. I went to school for but i cant find a job in the field. I have very few experiences in the field but i know how to do the job. If someone can help me I would be very greatful in to giving me a chance to prove my skills yhat have learned throughout school.

Hey Jay--Have you had any luck finding welding job? I'm in the same boat--plenty of classes but no welding job experience. Let me know if you find something--I'll do the same.

Good luck.

Thanks.

I am a Stick, Tig and Mig welder. I have finished school from Carolina Energy and I have plenty of on the job experience. I have been the lead welder from the job that i just finished. Now there are no more welding to do and i got laid off 3 days ago.My Favorite is Tig on stainless but I can do it all.I am drug free and easy to get along with and i have no problem being the supervisor. I need something no more than an hour away. I have been working in Charlotte NC, but lake wyle , Clover, RockHill, York, even Sharron Sc would be good if U can help me i would appreciate it. I don't know where else to turn. Thank you, William Daniel Boyd

You can go to energy carolina westinghouse. They have a school for training in stick,mig,and tig. it's mon. thru friday 7:00 to 5:30. The program they got is great. South carolina pays for it, you pay it back out of you check. When you start you make $18. when your done paying it back after 2000 hrs you move up to $28-$30 hr but you are under a contract for 2000 hr. The 2000hrs is about one year, and you have to travel coast to coast with your own transpertation.

It seems to me that the wages vary because many of these welding postions are being filled through temp services. Unfortunately, this has become the norm. (13.00-15.00) I am also looking to better my wages. I too, would relocate for 20.00 an hour.

hi guys--no luck here in Charlotte since last job (TIG pipe). However, if any of you are interested in an easy $100 I need someone to ride w me to VA to pick up a truck I bought at auction. Leaving from charlotte. Its about 100 miles away. Gotta do it soon though. I'd like to go Monday if I find a driver.

Anyhow we could holler about what great welders we are and kill some downtime.

Pass it on if you know someone else who wants it.

Thanks guys and hang in there. Stick your arm in the oven if you miss the Heat--you'll be back to work grindin...i mean Welding soon enuff!

Good Luck!

I've applied to northrop grumman for jobs and the apprentichip program. I also applied for the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. No word yet but hoping for good news. I just moved to VA from NJ. Up in nj I attended a great welding school. I got certified AWS D1.1 then I did the peipe program. I passed to 6G bend test but my instructor said I need work on the cover pass so he didn't certify me. Any one that knows of a school in HAmpton Roads VA that does pipe welding please let me know. I've checked and haven't found one. Any other comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanx andrew
