Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

So... What kinda jobs for military retirees they have? I mean, a ways away... But can never start looking too early

 

The only place that would sell me one this year was Big 5. Give them a try.

 

Are you thinking of getting into banking? Its easy money, but i been looking at getting on with UCD or the state. But man its hard. Haven't had any luck

 

Gotta say, working for the state would have been nice. Transparent California gives you an idea of how well many jobs pay, not just state but county gigs as well.

 

I'm going to be looking around. Banking might be the quicker start with what my degree is (project management). Most places that are hiring for it want years of experience i just don't have.

County and state are on the list too. City would be, but I think Woodland people are pretty entrenched in their jobs

 

I would consider city, county, state (many agencies to choose from), federal (many too), water districts, transportation, or utilities. All of them pay well, have good benefits, and you must really screw up to loose your job. I would also look at positions below project management. The best PMs are those who worked their way up and understand the ins and out of the projects (not just how to do the PM tasks in the office).

Most of these employer options have job boards that you can sign up for email notifications.

Also as encouragement, all of the districts, municipalities, and agencies I work with are having a large percentage of their staff retiring now and over the next 5 years so there should be opportunities for you to get in as existing employees move up.

 

Never underestimate the job requirements. I often think people write "10 years experience" to weed out the under qualified. But in my own opinion, sometimes you call the low time guy because something about the resume says you should. If I absolutely must have a sr, that's one thing. But often, it's better to find someone you can grow.

teaching young blood how to do his own work. Meanwhile my trans is on the floor for a new rear main seal. @GundyTRD

 

Just got back from a week in McCloud. Needed that.

 

The company my wife works for is always hiring. Genentech. Never know if they have something to fit your experience, but worth a look.

 

Fun little course. Looks to be in good shape. Do any fishing? I love that area.

 

I did actually. Caught a few with the in laws at lower falls and then found a nice little local spot that was crawling with stocked rainbows.



smallest one I caught thru the week but didn’t get a good pic of the bigger ones.

 

Pulled the trigger. -$$ ouch! but I’m happy with it.

 

Met up with a baddass motha fucka today. Got me a new patch. Thank you BROTHER

CHP baby!

 

Your spacing is on point. I need to redo mine now.
