ok so got laid off mid aug and FIANNLY the second job fair and NUMBEROUS past applications got me somewhere! Not sure where to start so here's me: -18 years old with resume built up..have been working since age 16. -Took 3 years of computer networking courses in high school which lead ----into an internship that gave me 9 months experience in the IT and engineering dept. working in the office at a prestigious steel mill! awesome!! Couldn't have learned half of what I know now from the classroom! Having hands on experience rocks! right now im living with my gparents trying to help them..however looks like he will have to go in to a nursing home..one person cant keep him out..doc's afriad of my health going down the drain too. Love the gparents but dont even have a space to hang my clothes so am wanting a job that will give me enough doe to get my own place..however small it may be this first job will help me get into computers...not exaclty sure if thats what i want to do for the rest of my life but its what i studied for3 years. most likely would not make much above min wage ..some employers will want to hire and send ppl to school rather than pay full price for a person with a lot of experience-- in some places at least this is what ive found to be true. This second job is kina nice in benifits and am interested in criminal justice. it would give me enough doe to get my own place as well as be able to afford things like truck insurance under my own name! and have off days ..working for gov may open up grant opportunities and that leaves time to actually study even if it is to get an online degree.....that is if i pass inspection...ill be able to get in thorugh the screening prossess the only thing im worried about is my knee..its well healed and can do anything with it but dislocated it a few months shy of turning 12. Got to talk to a training Coordinator from one company have already applied to...when I showed her and started explaining the internship her jaw dropped...no joke. She gave me this one guys number and said if he did not call me in a few days for me to call her! It didn't matter that I don't have a college degree or certificate awesome right! (the company has scholarship opportunities!!!) She said instead of working in the company stores I could be working with her...basically in the main office because they are CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS IT AKA Computer networking!! With the info she handed me found the benifits are: -Scholarships -Health Benifits, voluntary dental insurance, life insurance, rx discountcard -voluntary cancer insurance -paid weekly -opportunity for advancement but here's the other job I could get into that would train me...(Correctional officer for Texas) would have to go to get a screening ...hotel, gas, food for that i would have to pay myself unfortunately but the recruiter said once I get a call back the state pays for the 6 weeks training...all the lodging, transportation ect. benefits: -Salary is several dollars over min wage (downside only get paid once a month) the longer you are there (in months) the better the pay raises -state pays 100% employees health benefits even preventive care benefits, and prescription payment help, dental and life insurance program available -Uniforms (including laundry experience) and equipment is furnished at no cost - free meals while on duty -legal protection plan -vacation, sick leave, paid holidays, retirement -work is four days on four days off...basically .12 hours a day for four days...My aunt worked a schedule like this and loved it...I think this would be a nice schedule that I could stick to as well -Once I reach age 21 I could switch to a federal prison which will most likely have more benefits? ANY ADVICE APPRECIATED!!!
