    http://4brothersit.com

    The company is composed of myself (a cop, paramedic and part-time geek), my two Dutch ex-pat brothers-in-law (a .net programmer and network manager) and my Canadian brother-in-law who does the bean counting.

    and here are a few websites we have done for clients (ones I can think of off the top of my head):

    Immediate opening for computer programming teacher at Von Steuben High School in Chicago up on the North Side. Could be a sweet gig for a laid-off IT guy. PM me for info, not the school. I don't know offhand if it's temp until June 18 or permanent. Teaching- not just a job but an ADV!

    Anyone looking for electronics, on the cheap cheap, used or refurbished please take a look at the company I just started working for .... http://www.unitecrecyclingcorp.com
    I actually started there a month ago, they let 2 people go because they were not doing the job, and promoted me to Internet Manager because I rebuilt the entire web site, and started both eBay stores too.

    Anything from Whole computers, monitors, keyboards, mice, speakers, parts, laptops and MUCH more - OMG, there is sooooo much!
    On our web site you can see the links to our eBay store too, but if there is something in particular you are looking for please let us know.
    I will tell the boss that if anyone calls and states they are an ADV member, we will give a discount - not sure how much, but everything is already discounted anyway :)

    What we do is recycle electronics, so we pick up product from everywhere, hospitals, corporations, schools, and just people dropping off from homes. We refurbish or re-sell what we can, and the rest is scrap. Get some great deals on good used electronics all the time.

    The company I work for is an industry leading hardwood flooring manufacturer.

    http://www.wdflooring.com/


    We have pre-finished and traditional flooring in: Maple, Red Oak, White Oak, Yellow Birch, Hckory, Cherry, Black Walnut and Ash. We produce widths from 1 1/2" up to 7". I think one of our best products is something we call Mountain grade. It's a character floor with an average length of 6'. Most flooring comes in random length which is everything from 20" piece up to 7'. In mountain grade the shortest piece is 5' and the longest is [8' for the unfinished and 7' for pre-finished] It's full of color swirls and sound knots you can really see the woods grain and character in every piece. A large portion of the lumber we use is locally sourced from our sister company http://www.nicolethardwoods.com/ They have 40,000 acres of sustainable managed forests and have been in buisness for 100 years. We are located in Northern Wisconsin but look for a dealer near you on the website:thumb

    Well, in the near future...

    In December of 2010 I will be a college graduate of Michigan Tech looking for a full time position in the field of Industrial Technology. Coursework involves quality assurance, statistics, lean manufacturing, production planning and control, facility and process design.

    I started my college career in Mechanical Engineering Technology and was there until my 5th semester, so I do have knowledge of statics, dynamics, basic machine design, and fluid systems also.

    I've also taken many business and economics classes in accordance with degree requirements and as general electives, such as basic accounting, micro/macroeconomics, international economics, business law and organizational behavior (essentially a business psychology course).

    Finally, I rounded out my degree with history and philosophy courses, two of my major interests.

    The best practical work experience I have is as a metal fabricator for a small welding shop near my home. This includes mig welding, bending, drilling, simple fabrication, and basic manual machining on lathe.

    I'd like to find an entry level position in a company that can use an Industrial Technology major for full time employment. As I stated, I will graduate in December of 2010, GPA will be about 3.1. I'm hard working, don't mind long hours, and am willing to learn. I am willing to relocate to just about anywhere, but would prefer to go to Wisconsin or Minnesota.

    If anyone has any leads pm me, as I need to get a jump on my search. Hopefully I can have a solid job offer by graduation day.

    Resume available at request, and thanks for your time.

    Executive Suites of Minnesota provides shared office facilities and virtual office services to mobile and work-at-home professionals.

    Why use your home address on your business card and give up that layer of security between your personal and business life? Why meet your clients or prospects at Caribou or Starbucks when you could meet them in a clean, private, furnished conference room or day office?

    In addition to our virtual office services, we also offer full-time shared office space available on a short-term (1 year or less) lease with all office equipment (telephones, furnishings, copiers/scanners/printers) available.

    Contact me for the first month's free on a virtual contract or two months of rent free with a 14-month lease.

    Due to recent expansion, Thiel's Wheels is in need of a motorcycle technician.

    The shop is located in central Ohio, about an hour north of Columbus. Featured marques are Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and now Triumph (which frankly has been an increasing amount of business). Thiel's Wheels also services other brands, like Suzuki, Aprilia, etc.

    In the "second season" (fall/winter), much focus is on ATVs, Mules, etc.

    Performance work is an issue- with dyno tuning a priority.

    If interested, please mail a resume and cover letter to:
