lmmfao So you're actively fighting against the union that gave you the opportunity to do whatever you wanted when you retired?

Fish..first major was French Area Studies in the International Relations Dept. the second major was in Elementary Education. I taught first grade in a school in a trailer park area and then got a masters degree in social work. Over the years I worked my way into other careers and when I retired I was a recruiter in the HR field.

So fill us in on the more marketable 2nd choice you made.

You do what you have to do! As I tell my kids, "make good choices!" My grandkids say, "I know grandma, make good choices."

donnaw- You don't need to tell me about working and going through school. I worked a full time and a part time while going to college full time.
That doesn't change the fact you can't get what isn't there.
Just because there is a job in your profession 150 miles away doesn't mean you are able to accept it if offered.

wiggle..typical liberal reply...how many new health facilities just opened and expanded in Janesville? There were job fairs at at all of them as they're looking to hire. CNA's, nurses and other health professionals can find jobs. It is the fastest growing segment of the economy. Plumbers and electricians are always in demand. I grant you,it is slower but that doesn't mean there ARE NO JOBS. I worked my ....off to get my education, worked 3 minimum wage (one with tips so that helped) jobs at a time so don't tell me it can't be done. My first major in college was a mistake for realistically finding a job so I went one more year to major in something more marketable, still working crappy jobs to support myself. If you do your researCh, work hard and have a goal you can be successful. The problem with some young people is they want it now and are unwilling to invest sweat in their future.

I wonder. Do they still offer classes like shop and home ec? I took shop from JHS to HS, and it's never done me wrong. It's amazing how many people don't know how to use a drill correctly, let alone a chain saw, and it's sad, too. I hope that they still offer those courses.

Donnawalker and machine brain robot- let me ask you this, so if the plumbers, electricians, nurses, lab techs, x-ray techs, who have 'marketable' and needed skills, get laid off and no one is hiring plumbers, electricians, nurses, lab techs, they need to work at McDonalds while supporting a family AND pay for MORE schooling to do what?
You both live in dream land! Walker sucks and you both have your heads so far up his axx you could brush his teeth for him!

donna- typical rebup answer to a perfectly understandable question. Go back to school honey so you can learn to comprehend!!

Did I say you were a hooker? No, you said that.

you can't remember what you said? what employment involves "turning tricks"? typical rebub LIE LIE LIE! That's all you do!!

Huh?

You're trying to shift focus from my point. If they can't even get jobs at places that don't pay family supporting wages, because they most likely will quit when something better comes along (remember, you don't blame those places for not hiring them for that reason).......how are they supposed to start becoming dependent upon themselves again?

Fishbelly...to expect a job with "family supporting wages" you must have a marketable needed skill level. Jobs requiring little or no skills are not going to pay well unless you are prepared to use it as a starting point and work your way up to supervisor and then manager, etc. or do the job while you go to school learning another career.

So the unemployed are lazy for not having a job, because places that don't offer a family supporting wage are hiring......but you don't blame these places for not hiring unemployed people who will just quit the second they get offered a better job......but they're still lazy because they can't find a job, because places that don't offer a family supporting wage are hiring.

And I've been thinking, too. You know, I wouldn't be against subsidizing a kid's education if we could get them to sign a contract, just like you have to sign in the military. We pay for your college, and you get a degree in Mechanical Engineering or in Nursing, etc. - something that the people of the U.S. need, and you stay in the U.S. for 8 years after that. Break the contract, get less than a 3.0 GPA, break the law in any way, and you owe the government all the money back. I think we'd have less "snookies" around then. Anyone can be a drunk idiot like snookie, and too many college kids are these days.

wiggle- I was working too when I was 14. I mowed lawns. When 15 I got a job at a tiny shop in the mall. 1 in 50 I was hired. No I didn't wear suit and tie but I dressed nice. I was the only one who had "worked before" I assume and showed interest. I followed up even at 15. My second job I was hired. I followed up there as well. I have never not gotten a job I applied for. Dress nice and follow up.
Don't just sit on your bum waiting for them to call you back.
Maybe not a suit and tie but whatever is fitting for the job and tshirt, baggy pants and haton stupid is not fitting. I saw this in the paper. Not just one person either! ALL of them in the picture.

Robert- I was told when I was young "kids don't want to work"
Some do some don't- don't lable all of them.
My example of hiring the 65 year old vs the 16 yr old was an example but would have to talk to them to see who would work out the best. Lazy 65 yr old vs energeric 16 year old then the 16 yr old.

Dont want to a nurse? Why not? Then either find a career that they "want" and is marketable or let them go hungry. Key word "marketable"

Robo - The problem is that Janesville's board of education decided to make cuts in technical, industrial, and other great educational classes. They left the kids with few options like, choir and art. I understand that kids need culture awareness. But the kids are not going anywhere with these classes. Art is low paying and very few make it. Choir, hah! how many are going to be singing stars? None! With these as being the only options for the kids, all the kids want to do is watch the Kardasians and glee. Or watch Jersey Shore to learn how to be tool bags and drunks. The school system needs to get technology and industrial put back in the system or our kids are going to lost be when they graduate. More like, worthless tool bag drunks.

Yes, I do know they offer advances in nursing in high school. But there are very few of those jobs around and not may guys, or girls, want to be a nurse.

"When you have a college degree stocking shelves is undesireable, the only people I 'look down' on are rebub babies!"
-
Good point. Kids these days don't have the common sense or intelligence to pick a vocation they can be employed in. I mean, just how many people with degrees in Feminist Issues, European History, or Pet Psychology do people want to hire, anyway? If they want high-paying jobs, they need to educate themselves in something useful that is also marketable. A degree is just a piece of paper, and if it's for something stupid or something that is not marketable, it's not worth the paper it's printed on.

Did I say you were a hooker? No, you said that.
-
I was 14 back in the 70's and worked the first day it was legal for me to do so. If you were standing on street corners, that's not my problem. I probably saw you and wondered what you were doing if that's what you say you did. My first job was pumping gas and cleaning windshields at the Texaco on the corner of Memorial at the top of the bridge. Then I worked bagging groceries at Eagle. Then I worked at J.C. Penny until I went to college. In the summers I worked on farms, for the Forest Service, and logging in N. Wisconsin. Yeah, I know what work is. Kids these days don't. That's the point. They don't want to work unless they can do it from an iPad sitting on a couch, and when they can't do that, they just want to be paid for doing nothing, and that's o.k., huh?

Robot -I didn't know there were any fourteen-year-olds turning tricks around here. When did THAT start?
-
so I'm a 'hooker'? Get a life! Back in the 70's many 14 yr olds worked. You didn't need proof of age to get hired at dinners. I looked 16, and was more responsible than most of the 20 somethings. Does it upset you that a dem has worked longer than your sorry butt? To even 'go there' says SOOO much about your problemed mind!!!!!! Idiot!

So, what you are inferring is that stocking shelves at Walmart is an undesireable job, staffed by undesireable people?? Do you look down on everyone this way, or just the people who work at Walmart? I'm curious.

"300 positions open at Generac"
-
The position at Generac that some with names that rhyme with "jiggle" would take would be the one sitting indian-style in front of the door with a recall Walker sign in order to block others from applying for work.

donnaw, it comes down to this. What they want is an easy job that they get paid $30 an hour for with benefits, and not have to work for it. It's whata happens when jealousy meets sloth. It's like those commercials I've been seeing on T.V. about kids vs. the value of money. Those protesting don't know the value of money, they just want more of it, but they don't want to work for it. Vicious circle, huh? It's how they were taught by their hippie parents. I doubt that any of them have ever worked on a farm, peeled popple (back breaking work) all summer for almost nothing but room and board, worked for the Forest Service for $1.85 an hour clearing streams and building trails, etc. I have. They have no idea what it is to work, and to appreciate it. Gimme, gimme, gimme. It's pathetic.

shrek..I think a lot of the lazies would rather rant about their situation, protest in Madison, and carry recall petitions around. It's easier for them to blame someone else for their laziness.

1. How much was in your 401k?
2. What kind of business did you start up?
3. What other job did you get?

Too many excuses for not doing what is necessary to support yourself.
***
If you really want a job, you can get one. You may have to commute farther, take less pay or even move to a different state. Too many people are willing to take advantage of the system and milk it for everything they can get.
***
I got laid off from my job. Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I started a business by liquidating my 401K. After a time I got a new job, now I work 40-50 hours at the regular job and another 30-40 at my business. I am not demanding that someone make it easier for me. I don't expect anyone but myself to be responsible for my success. This is what personal responsibility is all about.

If you want to be successful, you need to get off your lazy butt and put in the effort.

frogger-How many Dr you know who applied for a job wore scrubs to the interview??
ME - I have real nice scrubs! AND I've never been unemployed since 14 years of age, college is expensive, no scholarships/grants for me, my dad was a factory worker and the scholarships went to the doctors, CEOs and lawyers kids, not to the ones who realy needed it, typical repubs, give to the rich buddies to keep the middle class poorer and poorer.
Don't know any teens looking for a job so I can't say how they dress, the people I know looking for work dress the part. Many get told they are overqualified, but no wonder showing up in a suit and tie to stock selves at walmart.

wiggle"Have you tryed getting a job when 9,000 NEW lay offs added to the thousands already laid off are also trying to get a job? What do you expect people to do? Stand in imaginary lines for imaginary jobs? Get a grip on your bitterness, you know they make meds that will cure that ugly trait you have! The w must stand for Walker!"

I saw a pic of the last job fair and nobody dressed for the occassion!!!!!!
That would be a start. "how do I get a job"
Dress up a bit and try to get a job. Nobody is going to hand a job over to some punk dressed in a sideways hats, baggy pants etc. I wouldn't hire you. "dude hire me"

Just because this is what you would wear to work this is not what you wear to GET the job.
How many Dr you know who applied for a job wore scrubs to the interview?? Best example I can come up with to put a good picture in your mind. If you shovel poop all day you don't go to an interview with poop all over you. You take a shower and clean yourself up and say PICK ME! I care enough to put on some decent clothes.

oy vey. A "16 year old" can get a job easily because most companies that would hire 16 year olds are either food services or retail. If given a choice, would you hire the laid off 45 year old who will be leaving the moment they find another job, or the 16 year old who is just happy to have gas money and isn't going anywhere?"

The 45 year old who WANTS to work- has work ethic. The 16 year old may not NEED to work. He maybe made to work for gas money.
16 yr old maybe wont come to work EVERY DAY- no bills-if I don't work one less day of gas.
MAybe the 45 year old will like it there and go into a higher postion. Yuo will lose the 16 year old to sports-college-etc.

I know of a person that just applied for a part time job (cause she needed something- I assume) left with a FULL time job!!!

Time to get out the best T-Shirt and Jeans.
Seriously if you apply- dress like you mean it!

Sarah - you are so right! I know lots of people that have applied for ANY job only to be told "your over qualified" but the repubs want the people who USE to make just as much or more than them to now make less so THEY can say "you just don't work hard enough"! The rebubs enjoy watching the middle class become poor. The rebus only want two classes of people - the rich and the poor. Yet the repubs say giving billion dollar tax breaks will create jobs, really? waiting, still waiting.

hey billy boy - you are so right those 300 jobs will fix WI unemployment problems, how could I be so stupid. and mteg - I know 3 people who have been laid off over 2 years that got hired by this company so your theory has been blown out of the water. and to suggest people lie on the work history by 'filling in the gaps with something' is ILLEGAL. Your just as smart as billy bob!!

Sarah,
When you are down and out you take whatever you can get. That may even include taking 2-3 part time jobs in order to make ends meet. Sometimes you get a bad deal in life and it is your responsibility to make it better by working hard.
***
I just had to laugh at myself when I realized that liberals don't believe in personal responsibility nor hard work.

"You need to get your head out of the clouds! NO ONE can get a job if there aren't any jobs.

Entered as a comment in an article stating that a company is in the process of hiring 300 people, LOL. Of course, these aren't the right jobs. They demand quota work. They might let people go sometime in the future. Nope, I will sit right here in good old Janesville on my ass until my phone rings and someone offers me $32/hour for a job, starts me with 6 weeks vacation, full medical and retirment benifits and the ability to lay out my own work schedule. I have earned it and its coming, my union rep told me so.

mteg, sorry, but I didn't see one job that pays $100,000/yr for no post HS education and furthermore many of these so-called jobs would require me to drive out of town. You are a very mean person for enticing me and then at the same time pulling the rug out from under me. :)

Wiggle, thats 34 jobs just on the gazette forum alone with another 1,400 online. Monster and Career Builder have 10-100x more

http://jobs.thejobnetwork.com/nphomepage...

That's because everything is Walkers fault , but not Doyle's....Funny cause' everything is Bush's fault but not Obama's . Works both ways see....

People scoff at working at McDonalds. A person starting there in H.S. that puts a few years in is eligible for help with college tuition, grants to their university, etc... In less than 10 years with the right motivation, it is possible to work into a management role making over $70,000 a year (General Manager, not shift or assistant). This is a salaried postion, has full benefits, etc... All that from starting with working a cash register or flipping burgers. Not to mention, valuable skills. Any job interacting with the public is valuable in sales, marketing, management. Crisis management, multi-tasking etc... are all parts of the job. Being able to tie your skill sets to future jobs is how you land a job. No one cares "where you worked" or "where you want to school". They want to know "what can you do", "what do you know", "what did you learn", and "How you can apply it".

..one more thing. Don't go now if you're thinking of ND. There is no place to live and you'll freeze to death in your camper or car.

Q:How do you fill a gap in employement history?
A:Fill it...with anything

You will show a future employer that you want to work, that you are a go-getter, that you will do what it takes. If anything, the experience can be used to break the ice during an interview...mention only positives, never the negatives. Interviews frown on negative attitudes.

btw, I don't want people to misunderstand me. I think the Generac jobs are good, at least it's something in the local area. I've been through Williston ND enough times this year to meet a lot of guys from WI, IL, and MN who's unemployment ran out long ago and are living in their cars to find work. Those jobs are anywhere from 50k-100k depending on the overtime, and you'll be working overtime.

I saw that Speedway is looking for Managers and manager trainees, Taco Bell is hiring at multiple locations, McDonalds is hiring at multiple locations, Shopko is hiring, 1st Community Credit Union is looking for tellers, Walmart is hiring, Culver's is hiring, Staples is hiring. I could go on and on.
****
These jobs are going unfilled because nobody wants to start at the bottom and work their way up. When you don't have marketable skills that is what you need to do.
****
I have to agree with Donnaw and mteg. If you really want a job, it is pretty easy to find one.

Interesting proposal, especially with tax breaks. In todays economy, 1 office would be sufficent if any for headhunting. Unfortunatly, at my career and educational level, the people that I would be actively recuriting "headhunting" would be those that have the necessary skills, motivation, and determination to secure a job. I've been unemployed and know about the "cutthroat" competition that exists. I also know how to interview and land a job. My guess is that wiggle has been in his postion for awhile and is compfortable, much like those at GM. The disadvantage is that comfort and security act against you when you lose your postion. Nothing I posted was negative, and no one can say that it is wrong. If 1 person takes my advice, they will have the advatage over the other "8999" at landing a job.

oy vey. A "16 year old" can get a job easily because most companies that would hire 16 year olds are either food services or retail. If given a choice, would you hire the laid off 45 year old who will be leaving the moment they find another job, or the 16 year old who is just happy to have gas money and isn't going anywhere?
------
Why is it that when people assume a person's been out of work for a while, it means they're lazy or not looking?
donnaw, you can't make everyone do everything you want them too. Are there bad people out there that game the system? Yes, people game every system, or haven't you heard of Bernie Maddoff? Are all investment bankers evil and on the take? I don't know, since I don't know any, but I would imagine are some fine people out there doing that kind of work. There are people that take advantage of systems, they always have. How do you fix that? Most social programs are made for the ones that truly need it, but that's not who always gets it. Same argument could be made for companies that receive tax credits, bailouts and subsidies. Do some "need" it? Maybe, but most do not, yet the corporate hands always go out when the spigot is turned on...cases in point: the defense industry, oil exploration, and farm subsidies.
------
There are jobs out there, but it's difficult to get one once you've been out of work for a while. I fact, when I was looking after getting laid off, I was told a number of times that because of the last "gap" in my employment history, someone else was chosen over me. Gap? Hello, like I planned that? I hope the folks that get the Generac jobs appreciate the work, but I also hope people are checking SS#'s, and I hope we have more natural disasters, because that's why Generac is hopping.

Boy,
I guess you can tell who would probably be hired first between mteg and wiggle.

Tell ya what, why don't you open up a bunch of offices all over the state and hire a bunch of these unemployed at a family supporting wage, and they can teach your "how to get a job" technique, I'm sure walker would give you a huge tax break. As for me I have a geat job that I'm off to.

Most importantly, it is always easier to find a new job while you have one. Gained skills, work history, networking, and recommendations all look good in the pursuit of securing something better.

I can open any paper, any job forum (monster, career builder,snagajob, etc...) and there are litterly thousands of potential jobs. You obviously didn't read my entire post. Every job you go after, you are in competition with other potential recruits. Don't believe me, just look. There are job postings on the gazette forum. Like I said, it's work. The unemployed need to look at it as job hunting is their 40hr a week job. The people that are going to succeed are the ones that refuse to give up. The days of going to places, and getting an application to fill out are over. Most have online applications, but a resume is the standard, if you want to get ahead. A good cover letter too. Job centers can help with this. If there are no jobs, how is it that my 16yr old got one with no job experience, few skills, and probably less than 20 resumes/applications? It takes persitance and desire. I'm living in reality, you obviously are living in the clouds. You're attitude and comment are a general reflection on my first quote on learned helplessness.

and really, 14% what a joke! AGAIN where do the 86% left apply?

Don't worry sweetie I have not been effected by Walkers killing of WI! No need to feel sorry for me just answer my simple question. Where are these thousands of jobs to apply for I'm sure many would love to know!

wiggle...with your attitude, of course no one would get a job! You keep spouting about jobs lost last month. Overall Wisconsin has recovered 14% of the jobs lost since the recession. There are bound to be bad months but there have also been good months. Mteg hit the nail on the head. Quit feeling sorry for yourself. Check out ms sassy on these blogs and look at how she approached finding a job and after working hard at it, she landed a job she is happy with.

mteg- You can't be serious, 9,000 new unemployed people last month. so 9,000 times 20 applications = 180,000 jobs being applied for.Then add in all the other thousands already unemployed x 20.
Where are they suppose to send these THOUSANDS of applications?
You need to get your head out of the clouds! NO ONE can get a job if there aren't any jobs.

No one stands in a line for jobs anymore (other than a job fair). For people that are waiting for the jobs to come to them...they are going to be waiting awhile...probably indefinatly. The unemployed need to aggressivly job hunt, from the moment they reach that status. The longer one remains unemployed, the harder it will be. This is based on potential employers seeing large gaps in unemployement history, and the negative self image and feeling of hopelessness that one will get from being rejected. Unemployment benefits are a joke. Up to 60% of your wages (not including taxes that have to be paid) for applying at 2 jobs a week-with little documentation to show. They should make either a quota-minimum of 20 jobs a week (I would say over 50) or do it on an insentive (rate determined by number of job contacts. Someone who is unemployed has 40 extra hours a week to look for a job. It's not too much to ask someone to send out 20 resumes in a weeks time. On day 1 of unemployment a person needs to head to the job center and get started. There are staff there that will help, computers, newspapers, etc... for job leads. My suggestion to the unemployed is:

1. Resume creation and revision
2. Determine skill set
3. Job diversification (what jobs could you do with your skills)
4. Set a goal of how many resumes you want to send out in a day (try to beat it)
5. Dress clothes for interview (unless interviewer says casual, suit and tie for men)
6. Every 10 resumes might generate 1 or 2 respones from a company, every 20 resumes sent might equal 1 interview (the more resumes or apps will lead to more interviews)
7. Practice interview (even interviews that don't pan out are good practice for the next one)
8. Show up for interview early, followup with thank you email afterwards
9. Interviews don't necessarly mean a job so keep prospecting untill it's a done deal

I really can't feel sorry for somone unemployeed that only does the bare min (2 resumes or applications a week to obtain benefits). To me, that means someone is comfortable with being unemployed. People need to stop blaming Walker, or Wall Street Bankers, and even illegal immigrants for their inabiltiy to secure a new job (most illegals do work that most people could not/or would not do...FACT). The people that end up getting jobs do so because they want them. The unemployed need to ask themselves "How bad do I want to go back to work? What do I need to do to make it happen?"

2 quotes to live by:
"Learned helplessness is the giving-up reaction, the quitting response that follows from the belief that whatever you do doesn't matter."
"Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength."

8.97hr to 9.97hr after 30 days, goal is set to 12 units a hr on moving production line most of the time hitting from 10 to 12 units a hr , food and drink allowed on line with microwaves also on the line intermittently ,fans provided two 10 min breaks and 1/2 hr lunch , pays every week through direct deposit , health, and dental after 90 days , they also offer a attendance bonus of $50 a week but no time can be missed including holidays , vacation, or plant shutdowns, over time is after 40hrs and they have not been working week ends lately 2nd shif is 2:30 pm to 12:00am aprox 45hrs @ week until 3rd shift starts then straight 8 , drawbacks is fast paced preparative work ! and the distance you have to travel, gas and wear and tear on vehicle, and time spent traveling . these are the facts as i see them .

donnaw- ALL the people I know on diability are physically able to work just found a Dr to say they can't, and ALL unemployed people I know regardless if their unemployment has run out or not, are standing in these lines trying to get a job. 9,000 people lost their jobs in Oct. what are the 8,700 that won't get hired spose to do? Have you tryed getting a job when 9,000 NEW lay offs added to the thousands already laid off are also trying to get a job? What do you expect people to do? Stand in imaginary lines for imaginary jobs? Get a grip on your bitterness, you know they make meds that will cure that ugly trait you have! The w must stand for Walker!

west..have no problem with those trying to find work or those that are unable to work...they should get all the help they need. But you know there are many who living off others is a way of life. And we have enabled them to do this by not requiring accountability for those requesting help. We should at least know that those getting assistance really are trying. We read every day about people scamming the people that are trying to help.

So sitting on the couch, getting "tats" and a child getting a backpack of food is utopia huh? I'm sure for a few unmotivated people that may be true, but why do you people paint every person that loses a job or gets unemployment like that? I'm sure Jesus would be proud of his fan club right now. Stick to the poor, by golly.

Howe many of these openings will be given to Illegal aliens? How many workers already on the job at Generac are illegal aliens? How many legal citizens are out of work because an illegal has taken their job?

Report illegals !

gmac...not if there is unemployment pay available! What is the motivation to work? With unemployment, welfare, food pantries, food stamps, free school lunch for the kids, why work when you can sit home on the couch, watch tv, get tats, etc why work? In Delavan your kids can get a backpack of food for the weekend. Utopia! Some people are unable to work and they should get the freebies.

Generac is a difficult company to work for, simply because the production lines run on quota. But if you REALLY want a J O B that is merit based, go for it. It beats having NO job at all. AND, since there are so many peeps unemployed, do the work, you get a PAYcheck.
