Now Hiring

This must be great news "now hiring" as we doesn't see this much in the classified these days. During these difficult economic times, jobs and job security virtually invisible. Each day around the globe the demand for employment is much greater than the crippling job market. Instead of seeing "now hiring" we are faced with downsizing, layoffs, and companies closing their doors forever. Thus far I have not said anything positive, and I wish I could, but we know this is the today's job market. Even in spite of all this, there is still hope especially for Generation Y and some Generation X at this present time. On the other hand, like myself, being between the Baby Boomers and Jones Generation this probably not an option.

This military might be an option. And there is much to gain, virtually nothing to lose. Of course, there is a great adjustment to military life, mainly the structured and disciplined outfit. Military can be dangerous in peacetime and wartime. Let's look at it from this point of view, this is dangerous world for everyone. Sometimes I ask myself. "Which is the dangerous military or civilian life"? Lately, I seem to come up with the same answer BOTH.

Enough said there. Look at all the possibilities.

1. Job advancement - Desire to go ahead
2. Job security - Despite the economy
3. Medical care - no cost to you
4. Dental care - no cost to you
5. Three meals a day
5. Living quarters
6. Inexpensive life insurance
7. Travel - not just a job, but an adventure
8. 30 days vacation annually
9. Pension after 20 years of service
10. Good pay w/great benefits
11. Financial aid to further education
12. Housing allowance
13. And much more!!!!

    I understand what u mean... we talked to a lady (cashier) at Expo last weekend. It felt so bad to see the workers losing their jobs ( the store will close by April). We asked her if she already had a job after- she said no and her husband just lose his job too and he decided to join the military and she's going to stay home take care of the kids... tough times, indeed:(

    It's the time when people need to survive through the tough times, even locally, people are taking up jobs that they normally wouldn't consider, low pay but at least they have a job. Comparing to that, military does offer quite an attractive alternative, however we all know the risks involved. Pray for everyone's well being and safely.

    You make some good points. Hopefully this economy will turn around soon, it's sad to see so many people hurting these days. I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel, somewhere. :)
