North Coast Hot Jobs Aug. 30

Hello job seekers. Here is the link to this week's North Coast Hot Jobs listing, https://www.scribd.com/document/322664257/North-Coast-Hot-Jobs-Aug-29

First of all, sorry for not posting a jobs listing last week. I had school registration and other things to deal with.

So progress is being made on the proposed Navy Pier Project. Apparently, a contract will be offered to a company on Sep. 6th for the project, according to the Peninsula Daily News. They also state that only 20 local employees would be hired. For more info, click here. Something else important in this article is that it states the pier would be floating. So no pile driving noise?

A previous Peninsula Daily News article had stated that "the project could generate 267 jobs during construction." For more info, click here. So, this leads to many questions such as;
1. Will only 20 locals be hired out of 267?
2. Is there more than one company involved in this project?
3. What kind of occupations are they looking for?

Some good employment news in the area involved the ribbon cutting ceremony for the Composite Recycling Technology Center located by the airport and adjacent to Angeles Composite Technologies. The hiring process for management will begin soon if not already. So they are expecting to hire 200 individuals over the next six years. For more info, click here

So, one of the newest commercial buildings in the area is a pawn shop. A sign of the times in this area?

I am sure many of you have read by now in the local newspaper that Nippon mill is up for sale. They appear to be going to great lengths to let people know that current jobs are not at stake. You can make your own assessment of that.

It is a good idea to store documents in an electronic form. For example, job hunting documents such as generic resumes, cover letter templates, list of references, transcripts, DD214, letters of recommendation, etc could be stored on a flash drive. If you don't have access to a flash drive, you can store them by attaching them in an email to yourself. This way, they will be at the top of the send box at your email address. Another option is to open a Google Docs or even a Dropbox account and post that info there. These accounts are free. Having these documents available in electronic shape can make it easier to apply for jobs online.

Ever wonder why some people are employed and you are not? Especially the ones who follow under the criteria listed below?

1) The Office Politician. These people create drama. I have also called them cubicle whisperers. They seem to have an opinion on everything and don't seem to get much done positively. They talk about co-workers and supervisors behind their backs and create friction between others based on innuendo and unfounded statements.
2) The Whiners. Would you like some cheese with that? Anyways, when a decision is made on a course of action for the organization, instead of supporting the supervisor's decision, these people will look for ways to undermine or discredit the new policy.
3) Mister Me-First. This person has an inflated opinion of their value to the organization. They feel the buck stops here and they want everyone to know that.
4) The Rumor Monger. They love gossip. They feel it is their duty to spread stories throughout the office about anyone, truth based or not.
5) The Slacker. They don't really accomplish much all day. Don't be surprised to find them playing an online game on the job. Usually, this person has been employed there for a while and has gathered some invaluable experience.
6) The R.O.A.D. Troop. The acronym R.O.A.D. was used in the military to mean Retired On Active Duty. These people were approaching retirement and were just coasting. They were just putting in their time and barely getting enough done to meet requirements.

This list can go on and on. You can go online and google something like, "Types of co-workers" or something similar.  Be careful of these people and avoid becoming one yourself. Getting the job done should be your number one priority.
