I am 45, working on BA in Business, overqualified for most jobs, cannot perform some What do I do now?

Question by unicornev: I am 45, working on BA in Business, overqualified for most jobs, cannot perform some What do I do now?
I am working on a BA in Business, but due to an injury, the work I used to do ( purely physical labor as a set up/process technician in an injection molding facility) is unavailable. I am over qualified for Burger King, but have only old (1992/1993) office experience. Since I do not have a degree yet (and with no experience, it probably wouldn’t help), how do I get a new job?

I made the transition from kitchen work to an office by going through a temp agency. I used Kelly Services. They will not only test your current office skills, but they offer computer based training to get you up to speed in the areas you need help in. They will continue to work with you until you reach a level that they can place you at and all of these testing and training services are done for free around your regular work schedule.

I would imagine that the computer skills required in your degree program have prepared you more than you realize and you will test well.

Good luck.

It really depends on what type of parts and materials you are talking about.

Thermoforming is very popular for a lot of consumer goods. You basically take a sheet of plastic and press a mold into it. An example is TV dinner trays.

Blow molding is very popular for bottles. You start out with a peg of plastic and blow air into it and fill out a mold.

Many of the harder and more perminant plastics are injection molded. You inject plastic into a steel mold and then pull it apart.

Another is FRP – fiberglass reinforced plastic. You see this a lot in tub surrounds and boats. You start with a layer of fiberlass and either spray on or inject plastic.

Need help targeting the most rapidly growing US manufacturing sectors?

Question by Mary K: Need help targeting the most rapidly growing US manufacturing sectors?
I am trying to figure out what kind of finished goods manufacturing is still done in the US? Are there any areas that are actually increasing their business?

My reason for the questions is that I work for a small injection molder (plastics) and we just lost a big customer to a mexican molder. Cheap labor, nafta, no environmental regs, etc….

Most of our customers are either hurting (like automotive industry) or appliance makers, which are also slowing down.

We offer some secondary services such as assembly, painting, printing, etc.

Just looking for help to try to find areas to target to here in the US since it seems like lots of our business is moving out of the country. Any suggestions?

Trying to keep this positive, any suggestions of areas to target or groups to join or places to look?

I know there are a lot of smart ppl that answer here on yahoo, hoping someone can give me a spark.
To answer the question about what we do…
We have from 20 to 440 T machines, so mainly smaller precision parts.

Some things we mold are:

**appliance knobs, buttons handles, bezels (painted hi- low or numbers)
**plastic water and polution filters
**electronics cases, buttons,
**automotive cases, covers, knobs, buttons, light tubes, reflectors, )
mostly under hood, part of guages in dash or inside the door frame parts)
** medical cases (we are not clean room or white room though, so not too much medical)
Consumer goods- mop assemblies, small buckets, scrapers, etx.
We do some pretty complicated precise parts and do them well. Not optics, but fairly difficult.
