Rose in BC Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 It's not permanent but given the desperate times in our small town we are very grateful for this job. My dh has begun some retraining after 21 yrs in the forest industry and the closure of our local mill employing 550 people. He went through a very tough time of health problems, depression, etc. In September he snapped out of it, took an Industrial First Aid course and yesterday he got his first call working as a contract first aider. He's been hired by company who sends workers out to mills, etc. when they need First Aiders. So it can be hit and miss work but he knows he has work all this week and it looks like more is ahead. So, apparently you can teach an old dog new tricks :) because honestly while I knew my dh would have to retrain I did not imagine it would be in this field. Anyway a little relief and good news after a year of very, very tough days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
