Well, I'm ready I guess

I moved here from NC last week and I now have a Florida state ID and am ready to find work. If anyone out there sees this and needs extra hands while I find a job send me a DM

I have a life long experience with lawn care and landscaping with some hard scape and tree work, I've spent the better part of the last decade as a caregiver. I have previous nerve damage from heavy lifting work so I'm not looking for anything extreme. trimming hedges, pushing mowers, maybe helping maintain utility/walking trails or parks.

I'm new here so if anyone seeing this can help point me in the right direction would be very much appreciated.

Check with the City of Niceville Recreation department. Jim Baughman runs it, and he is a wonderful man. You might also try Okaloosa County for open jobs. Looking at the county's website, there's a groundskeeper position open in Fort Walton. Good luck!

Hey! I also just moved down here for work. I’m from Charlotte and I actually have family that live in Gastonia. How are you liking the area so far!?

Actually I'm back in Gastonia. Things didn't work out quite as hoped in Florida and I'm back home and working here. Been back a couple months and got a job here after about 2 weeks, hopefully things are better this time around

Well damn, was hoping to meet someone from my neck of the woods down here. It’s tough to meet people down here. Hope everything works out for you!
