Default Who's Hiring? Back on topic

I think it's a helpful thread. I'll delete it myself if people start arguing about off topic ****. People need to help one another in times like this.

High school and GED level:

http://careers.davita.com/DaVitaPage...ld%3d200000002

Search for Patient Care Technicians. Always a need, always a job, the dialysis population will continue to grow and Medicare is the primary payor for services. Some shifts are 3x12, so tough it out and get 4 days off or look at supplementing with another job.

I have to take my kid to school, so I'll add more when I get back.

Here alot of you guys have mechanical capabilities i work for Caltrans as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic and down south they are always trying to fill spots. Despite our governors plot to remove a couple of days a month its still a great job use those days for working on other things and sounds of doubt it will happen to public safety we will see. They also have a mechanic apprenticeship program and they pay to teach you i didnt see it posted but keep your eyes open

ill tel you what sucks (may be off topic), yahoo hot jobs. i thought it would be easy to apply to a bunch of jobs at once, but instead all the companies on there just provide links to their websites, where you have to fill out a huge application and background questionnaire. very annoying to do that a dozen times


end rant

This is a great thread, and may prove to be a helpful service to our fellow members. I would also add that if you can at all swing it, go take classes at your community college. It will, if nothing else, keep your mind sharp, and through educational exploration and networking on campus, may land you a desirable job.

Same industry as I posted above, different company:

http://fresenius.hodesiq.com/job_start.asp

Think of it as a stepping stone to something better. Many of these companies have programs to allow you to go into nursing. I know, "nursing" for girls, right? Wrong, pay is in excess of $30/hr. and imagine being a man in a female dominated profession? Yes, that's a benefit.

$30/hr is in excess of $60k/yr., plus oftentimes you will get a signing bonus and retention bonuses. Since you work 3 12hr shifts, you can moonlight elsewhere and make in excess of $100k. And you're in such high demand, it's very unlikely you'll be out of a job during an economic downturn such as this. Still think it's for girls?

I'll post more after the games.

Maybe NineFinger can post info on trucking. Don't know how that industry is doing now, maybe he can shed light, post up some good companies to get your foot in the door, training, etc.

From trucking you can look at vac truck operators. Some companies train, I think the pay is around $15/hr. Some drivers in Bako are making around $20/hr., depending on the industry.

Im an owner operator, in other words i own my own rig. Right now the trucking industry is slow, they say it wont pick back up till 2010. I went from working 60+ hrs a week at 45$ and hr a year ago, now im only getting barely 40hrs and less pay due to pay cuts...

How hard is it to get into something like this with no experience? If there was an entry level type position, what would they start at? I notice that most of the listings call for experience.

Instead of using several different job search site, there is one that searches ALL of them - http://www.indeed.com/

That should make things a bit easier...

I also want to add that if I see any inkling of this thread going the way of the other one I will lock it up immediately. If I see anyone saying anything disparaging about members of our armed services I will also lock it down...
