Ok guys, I need some help. I'm going to be a little sketchy on the details here because I don't want to dive too deep into my personal life on a public message board but here it goes.

Back in July I was laid off from my job. Around that time I got into a little bit of legal trouble(thanks to a scumbag friend I TRIED helping out). The state of PA is jerking me around with my PA state Auto Damage Appraiser's license(they're very strict with things if you get in trouble). The state of NJ doesn't require any type of license to write estimates at a body shop. Unfortunately I don't have many contacts in NJ. I have a few years experience HOWEVER I don't have that much hands on experience in a shop so I'd be considered a "noob" even though I have a few years under my belt. I sat in a nice comfy office reviewing estimates from my desk.

I'm not asking anyone to pull strings or call in favors, I wouldn't want to tarnish someone's name if things didn't go well. What I'm asking is for anyone to keep an ear out and an eye open for shop's looking for an entry to mid level experienced estimator. I'm looking for a shop not that far into NJ(I'm close to the Betsy Ross and Burlington Bristol bridges). I'm not far from where I-95 hits NJ. Even the Walk Whitman and Ben Franklin bridges wouldn't be too far.

I'm currently on unemployment and should be getting the federal extension which will keep $$ coming in until early August however I don't want to sit around that long. I'm looking to get back out and working around May. I have goals to get another Fbody and buying one while unemployment is a bit immature, I'd feel better about buying one while working, lol.

Like I said, I'm not asking anyone to stick their neck out for me or to pull strings, I don't want to get wrapped up in ruining someone's reputation if things don't go right.

Thanks guys.
