General Workforce’s Post

If you’re browsing temporary jobs, you’ll likely come across a lot of positions labeled “general laborer” - this is a common manufacturing job. Here’s what you need to know about what a general laborer does, what education/experience is needed and how to find jobs. https://hubs.la/Q02gN0F10

“I accidentally found my dream job.” This was said to me today by a former educator that is now in our industry. He went on to express how after he retired from his educator role of 30+ years, he poked around and applied for a laborer position at a paving company, and it changed everything. Yes, you read that right. At this stage in his life, he actively looked for another job... IN CONSTRUCTION...AS A LABORER! A physically demanding job. I’ll be introducing you to my new friend, Jim, very soon as we are working together on a couple things. I left with this smile on my face. This was my first in person meeting for Blue Collar Open Book and I was in my new company gear. I couldn't have asked for it to go better. For now, I wanted to get your thoughts regarding a new pool of potential employees. What about the group of early retirees (those in law enforcement, teachers, etc.) that now have time they don’t know what to do with? Maybe they feel financially stable and are willing to try a new industry… Would they potentially be more dependable employees at this stage in their life? How would you feel hiring somebody knowing they only have 5 or 10 years left in them? Would you count them out? Let me know! #workforcedevelopment #dirtworld #buildyourpath #bluecollaropenbook

Should I Accept a City Job Offer or Wait for $32K Severance? Answers: https://lnkd.in/g8sPsytP #JobDecisions #CareerChoices #SeveranceVsJobOffer Hey there, everyone! I could really use your insights on a tough decision I'm facing. 🤔 Let me break it down for you: Background: I've been grinding away at a sawmill in northern BC for the past decade. Recently, we got the news that our mill will close by the end of the year, and we're in for a severance package of about $32k—yup, that's 2 weeks of pay for each year of service. Right now, we’re all just waiting for the final closure date, which has everyone feeling stuck. 😩 Current Situation: So here’s where it gets interesting! I was offered a laborer position with the City, which pays $36/hour. Currently, I make $40/hour at the sawmill. The catch? I’d need to start in two weeks, which means waving goodbye to my severance. Now, my experience is mostly tied to operating sawmill machinery, and transitioning to a different industry isn’t exactly easy—especially since I see most entry-level jobs starting around $25/hour. On one hand, this City job sounds like a golden opportunity considering my skills and current market...
