Before you relocate to another area or go to college in hopes of getting an education and then moving to a specific region, you should first consult the Occupational Information Network (O*Net). This free online web service provides you with a idea of what the status of a particular occupation is within a certain area. You can determine whether your specialty is in demand, not in demand or somewhere in between. Their website is located here, http://www.onetonline.org/
You can type in a keyword in the Occupation Search block, such as "computer" or look under the "Find Occupations" heading. When you click on one of the many results, you can find out whether the outlook is bright or not in a certain area.
If you know of any Alaskan Native or Native American that has physical or mental disabilities and is having a hard time looking for work, ask them to contact me at 360-460-7549. We have two counselors that could help you.

So, a business that started out with a lot of potential has closed it's doors. Jig and Lure, a restaurant in Port Angeles near the boat haven. More info at this link, http://www.peninsuladailynews.com/news/jig-lure-restaurant-hopes-sink-as-new-business-model-folds/
If you are considering joining the military, it is a good idea to try and pick the career field you want. Also, do some research and find out if the career field will cross over into the civilian world and will pay well. Don't let a military recruiter talk you into a certain career field.

So, the former Nippon (Daishowa) mill has been sold to McKinley Paper Company which is owned by a Mexican firm. The mill has been closed for business since January 21st. Up to 105 people have been out of work as a result.
The new name for the mill will be McKinley Paper Co., Washington Mill. It will produce recycled containerboard. That was the good news that the mill will be up and running again. The bad news is that it could take six months to one year for the plant to be retooled to produce the new product. Then, there is no word if any of the former employees there will be hired back.

Sorry there was no North Coast Hot Jobs listing last week. My life got too busy.
There are ways to help you determine whether a job posting is legitimate or fake. Here is a list of red flags to look out for.
1) Asking for money, credit or debit info.
2) They want to send you money to put into your bank.
3) They want your social security number.
4) They want you to send a photo copy of your I.D. to verify.
5) They want a background check BEFORE you are considered for a position or they are asking for personal information.
6) Job contact email address does not match the company name (i.e. john@gmail.com instead of john@widgetsrus.com.
7) Mystery shoppers, work at home or online jobs.
8) Multiple misspellings in a job notice.
9) Upfront fees.
10) Earn money in a hurry.
11) Work at home.
12) No company name.
13) Have to use job board email. It could be anyone.
14) Check cashing and wire transfers.
15) Continuously open job that does not reply. They might be data harvesters gathering personal info from resumes sent to them.
If you know of any Alaskan Native or Native American that has physical or mental disabilities and is having a hard time looking for work, ask them to contact me at 360-460-7549. We have two counselors that could help you.

Hello job seekers. If you find any links that don't send you where they should, then let me know. Here is the link to this week's North Coast Hot Jobs listing, https://www.scribd.com/document/339143941/North-Coast-Hot-Jobs-Feb-13
This week I will discuss something that I have talked about previously. Promoting internally or hiring externally. Is it better for an organization to find someone from within the organization to receive a new job opening or do they hire someone from the outside? Let's look at the benefits of each.
Promoting internally:
1) A known commodity. The organization knows what you can do and how you fit in.
2) Less likely to leave.
3) Cheaper to hire. Paperwork already completed.
4) They are more acclimated with the organizational culture, procedures and connections.
5) Good for morale.
Hiring externally:
1) Bring new ideas to an organization versus same old way of thinking.
2) More likely to find best person for job.
3) Promoting within can cause conflict issues if more than one current employee applies for the same job.
There may be five reasons posted here to promote internally versus three reasons to hire externally, but how much value is given on each category depends on the Human Resources people and the Hiring Manager.
If you know of any Alaskan Native or Native American that has physical or mental disabilities and is having a hard time looking for work, ask them to contact me at 360-460-7549. We have two counselors that could help you.
