None of the conventional job hunting techniques have worked, but that seems to be the case for most people nowadays.

First off welcome to Indiana Open Wheel. Like so many others on here I too remember going to the Speedrome back in the glory days when you was the announcer. I remember the Thursday night Thunder and the Kenny St John vs Wayne Arnold days.

Wish you the best of luck on your job search and I hope that some racing series picks you up as their announcer.

Kevin Oneal ! Ah Yes, Him not announcing at the Speedrome is like turning it into a Go Cart Track ! Figure 8 racing is exciting but Kevins calling the laps makes it !! Wondering Why hes not coming back to the drome ? Good Luck Kevin Oneal ! Not Only A Great Racing Announcer But One Great Man

Out of curiosity, does anyone know of any jobs anywhere? I've been looking for more than a year, have made dozens of applications, been turned down as many times, and found nothing I'm apparently qualified to do to earn a living wage. It looks like we really are in another 1930's-style depression.

Our federal government tells us there is only 7.7% unemployment and that we should be grateful for that while meanwhile the % of the population with full time jobs is at the lowest since that depression. Go figure.

Don't ever give up Kevin. I have been employed for more than a year in an industry that I didn't think I could possibly crack. I am loving it and can't wait to see what's around the corner. This happened after going through a little hell of my own during the Great Recession and learning a lot about myself.


Have you ever thought of moving? The Greater Cincinnati area has been ahead of the national average as far as employment is concerned. Possible other areas maybe.

I hope you will be able to land soon.

What are you looking for? While most of the economy is still a wreck, up here in northwest ohio the unemployment rate is still somewhat low. Many of my friends have found jobs easily but it depends what your looking for

Good luck
