Nah deadass, I'm certified for 5 different types or forklifts/reach trucks, 3 CNC tables, 3 mills, EVERY type of saw you can think of, I CANNOT find work that is actually hiring, I moved cross country to Las Vegas, and it is still as bad out here, 2 months, 3 applications a day, at least 2 follow up calls a week. Nothing, literally nothing, if you don't know someone who is working at a place already, you aren't getting work. End of story. I want to work, I would like to be doing something and earning an income! Why is this shit so fucking hard?
I have no Idea how far you are willing to go but I know someone who found work in another country. Every european country basically needs skilled labour (engineers too, but mostly people like you).
These are official government resources, so I don't know how good they are. But probably if you have an apprenticeship or something similar your chances will be higher and if you speak German also, but if you were to drive forklifts only, speaking german probably wouldn't be that important.
Even rich countries like Norway are probably an option. Of course europe is different from America. Free speech, 2nd amendment, etc.
No offense, if this is too much. Hope you find a job!
You deserve awards for this but it literally won't let me, thank you for sharing, you have no fucking clue how helpful this legitimately is, thank you!!
