Hi there ! My name is Sasha . I am trying to help to a friend of mine who is a sewing machine mechanic but he came in America one year ago and he doesn't know how to look for this kind of job . He lives in Detroit MI . He doesn't know very well English but knows a lot for the sewing machines . He has more than 15 years professional experience . Give me some advise, please. Or may be I have to live his phone here if someone in Detroit needs mechanic ... 248 683 2583 Kris Thank you !

It's not a good idea to put phone numbers online where the public can see them. It's better to have them send you e-mail privately, THEN give them a phone number that way. Has your friend gone to the sewing shops (with maybe a friend to help with english) and left applications ??? What about local employment offices ??? What about friends in Detroit who can ask around about employment ??? What about english classes at night for adults ??? Chrys

| He could probably work for fabric stores by referral or put up a notice in stores and have people come directly to him. He will need some help to translate to be sure he and the customer understand what the machine needs and what he can do. If I lived there I'd bring him my 80 year old Singer to repair. |
