I don't know about the others, but a certification of any kind for a forklift is going to be all but worthless anywhere but the place you got it. A state "forklift license" is only good if you work for a state agency driving that lift. OSHA requires all employers to train all employees who operate equipment individually per a prescribed training plan unique to that employer, including a written, visual, and hands-on test. Prior experience helps training significantly but if Wal Mart has certified you to drive a lift it won't be any good at Target.Adam5 said:Do you have certifications in any of these fields?vanguard said:I am a great forklift driver, electrical helper, auto repair , customer service / service tech for medical supplies ,oxygen equipment, nebs, c-paps, by-paps, stockman, I know a lot about gun,s, I can fix allmost anything electrical, plumbing, and maysvill is 24 miles from from Athens and 18 miles from gainesville, and 76 miles north of Atlanta. off I-85 and exit 147.![]()
I'd forget about all of them but the service tech for med supplies. There should still be jobs to support those devices. The only problem is you will likely have a 152 mile daily commute.vanguard said:I am a great forklift driver, electrical helper, auto repair , customer service / service tech for medical supplies ,oxygen equipment, nebs, c-paps, by-paps, stockman, I know a lot about gun,s, I can fix allmost anything electrical, plumbing, and maysvill is 24 miles from from Athens and 18 miles from gainesville, and 76 miles north of Atlanta. off I-85 and exit 147.gsusnake said:What do you have experience doing?

while maybe not your ideal position, perhaps this would help...?...promising an average salary of $10 per hour...
17 months without work and you are telling me you couldnt get a job cooking food? washing dishes? serving? taking out the garbage? anything? I find that hard to beleive.I have been out of work for 17 months now and i have applied everywhere...
I heard that ("overqualified") several times the last time I was out of work, even when applying for lower-level jobs in the same field. (Older IS/IT manager here.)Nullifier said:With all due respect, if I am employer, and say, an engineer or computer programmer or a lawyer comes to me applying for a minimum wage, part time job like washing dishes at Ruby Tuesday, and at the same time, a teenager applies for the same job....an employer is more likely to hire the teenager. Why? Because the employer knows the professional guy is desperate and will 100% leave that job the very instant he finds something better. In reality, the older professional with a family to feed probably needs that job more and has a better work ethic, but ...... it's likely the kid will get hired and not the 40 year old with an education and experience. It's a matter of perception. Even if the older worker doesn't consider the entry level job to be degrading, the employer may THINK "in his mind, he's too good for this type of work, he doesn't want to be here".
