[TheForge] Job hunting...

[Al McClure]

Blake:

I would look into the building trades Unions for an apprenticeship program.
Most of them are interviewing right now for the next Apprenticeship. You
will learn a skill in the metals industry if you go with being a Pipe
fitter, Millwright, Sheet metal worker. You have the minimum requirements
already, a High School diploma, and a willingness to work. You will do just
fine.

I have been in the Millwright trade since 1968, and it has provided for me
and my family nicely.

Best of luck fellow, and always remember, you can also go into the Service
and learn a vocation as you serve your Country.

  Hey everybody, I have a question about finding a job.  I guess this could
be for people in the Colorado Springs area but perhaps others have tips for
me.  I am 18 and right now I work in a feed yard, been there for 4 years and
it is a job that is going to take me nowhere.  I have taken 1 year of
welding in HS and have tinkered around a bit on my forge but have had no
real training.  I want to find a job that I can start at where I can learn
more of a trade.  I am finding that a job in the metal field is kind of
hiden, buisnesses dont get out in the public, you have to find them.  Where
would be some places to look where not much experience is needed?  Thanks
for the help in advance, Blake



Good luck..
