The West's Networking Thread

I'm looking primarily for Accounting/Finance work in the Greater Los Angeles or greater Southwestern States region (will relocate for the right opportunity).

I will also consider a career change, as it seems that this is the trend for finding work lately. I am open to just about anything, but tend to shy away from commission-only work. I am scientifically-minded, but have also been praised for my photography and prose.

A long shot for sure, but here's an "abstract" of my resume . . .

Graduated Cal Poly with a BS in Business Administration, Public Accounting 1992.

Spent the last 10 years or so doing Fund Accounting for City of Azusa, City of El Monte and City of Rialto, including several temporary assignments and consulting projects.

Have worked in a CPA firm for 3 years doing audits. Have done work in Payroll, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, General Ledger, Fixed Assets, Purchasing, Financial Statement and Workpapers Preparation and much, much more.

Have worked for private industry, including traded companies the rest of the time.

Served in the Army 4 years as a Supply Specialist.

Much more about me than I want to list here.

I can LEARN and DO just about ANYTHING, and do it well . . . just need a break for a real opportunity.

Thanks for your consideration.

Happy Trails!

Another attorney here, and I specialize in lemon law. I also take personal injury cases by referral only (no cheesy advertising).

I'd be happy to talk with anyone who needs to know if they have a lemon on their hands and the best way to pursue it.

Contrary to what I frequently see on this site and others, a motorcycleis covered under the California lemon law, as are all consumer goods (ie. appliances, boats, etc.).

Feel free to give me a call. Here's my website:

Hello,

I am a contractor / architect working on 30,000 sq ft of office space in Hollywood. I am looking to bring on a few guys with some skills in light commercial construction. We are doing a full TI on the spaces, so we will be putting in new metal stud walls and an aluminum system inside the space.

The work is going on now, so if you are interested, shot me a PM and we can go from there.

Los Osos, CA

I do troubleshooting, network set up, overclocking, virus removal/prevention, websites (still learning) and custom built PC's ranging from $400 to $10,000. Advice is free if you ever have a question about a system or hardware let me know. I've probably used it before or something similar and would be happy to assist.


My two most common questions:

AMD or Intel for a processor:
I am not a "fanboi" for AMD or Intel, I build what my customers want at a price they can afford and both companies make fantastic products.

Nvidia or Radeon(AMD) for a Video Card:
Nvidia's tend to run hot, cost a bit more and consume a good bit of power, but their drivers are excellent. Radeon(AMD)'s run fairly cool and are reasonably priced, but they lack driver support for a lot of things.
