NWI INGO General Post - Part 8

[Clif45]

Nisource is always looking for weird administrative stuff as well. A lot of it is out of state but there are plenty engineering and supervisor jobs that come down locally.

Not to mention, why limit to secretarial?
You could run a crane, a forklift, or a piece of machinery.
Good pay. And women make the same as a man.
Pension vested in 2 years. Granted, not much at 2, but still vested.
401k. Your money only, company pays admin fees.
Decent benefits.

Not limiting myself at all, but those jobs require experience that I don't have. In the online application, it asks you point blank "do you have at least 5 years experience operating a forklift?", and if you say no, it doesn't let you continue. If you say yes, you're lying about basic information that is right there (or not there) in your resume. The human element has been removed from the hiring process. I would love to walk in to an HR director and say "If you give me a chance, I can do this job and do it well." They won't even take walk-ins.

I'm glad after all these years of taking tests and interviews for the Mills that none of them actually went through.

I talked to a guy a little bit older who now does alot of out of state work. What he basically said nailed it right in the head.. It was something along the lines of 'Yea, you live in nwi, you went to school for a trade, realized it isn't really what you desire, you've been applying everywhere and chances are you'll end up at a mill like everyone else. Making great money, losing alot of friends and alot of time with family'....

Yeah, I've applied for a couple of positions there. They have an admin. asst. position posted there now. I won't stop trying, but I think I'm too old and too overqualified for most places to consider me. Hell, I put in an app at Aldi a couple of days ago, and I doubt they will call me.

Mills are OK, but if you actually have to work while at work, then forget it...

I think pensions are gone now right? All new hires 401k correct?

@ snapdragon

Keep trying I'm sure something will come along soon.

@ clif45

You still reading meters or did you catch a bid yet. They keep talking they want to and more people to construction dept.

 

[dansgotguns]

Negative ctc its just not as good as the old timers

 

[tv1217]

what are you applying for, or are you just using the submit a resume option? I don't see any jobs for just laborers or what not.

Yeah I just did the submit resume option.

I don't know about acelor mittal, but at US Steel, noobs get a pension. They're just not in the Carnegie Pension.

@sc sorry to hear that. I bought a lower online from them. When I went to pick it up, I felt like I was being belittled because of the brand nobody heard of. Then they went on showing how little they knew about nfa. Its like walking into a gun store, I just am prepared to get talked down to. I don't know what it is. Griffith I got a great deal on a gun, but I think the guy screwed up. If I knew a good ffl, I would buy everything online.

I have been in talks with The Drakes Camo Customs to do $10 INGO transfers.

That would be awesome!

Big and Rich tonight at Wolf Lake

 

[sadclownwp]

That would be awesome!

The Drakes Camo Customs already has the FFL, so they can sell long guns, but they are waiting on Indiana to issue them their Retail Handgun Dealers License.

 

[sadclownwp]

They should be coming out with transfer fee's and such after that. Be patient guys and gals, they are getting everything rolling.

I want to get out of my current job. They recently changed the pay and I lose like $2400 a year. I also hate being inside all day and dealing with people. I've been looking into getting an apprenticeship with some local trades union. I've been looking into the carpenters union in Hobart. Does anyone know of any good trades to be in? Or where should I start?

 

[sadclownwp]

I have 10 Pmags: 5 bnib windowed gen 2, 1 bnib gen 2, three out of package, but never used gen 2, and one used OD green gen1 pmag. 9 are black, all are 30rd.




I have 2 Scar 16's so I can't use any of them and I don't feel like having to modify them.


I would like to trade for 7 black or tan 30rd Lancer AWM's, or 5 Translucent Smoke Lancer AWM's 30rds

What is your current job? Maybe I'll take it.
