Gents, my company needs a new minion. We're an environmental, engineering, and water resources company. Bread and butter is cleaning up contaminated gas stations, but we also do work for the mines and other industries. While we are an environmental consulting firm primarily, we're in general not a bunch of dirty hippies, nor are our clients. We're the guys that keep the .gov types from pissing off the private sector too much, and we keep the private sector from killing us all in our sleep. We're looking for an entry level guy, preferably with a degree in geology, engineering, earth sciences, or some such, but we're more than willing to consider someone with a good head on their shoulders that doesn't have a degree, you just won't have as much potential to move up long term. Good things on the resume: some sort of useful (not a BA) degree; 40 Hazwopper training; MSHA training; OSHA training of various types (including asbestos); and/or some sort of mechanical skills. Bad things to have on the resume: multiple jobs that last less than six months. Must have, but we can't check for until we actually hire you (I'll hunt you down if you screw it up by applying, getting hired, and failing): clean driving record; ability to pass a pre employment and random drug tests; ability to not tell everyone else in the office how much time I spend on arfcom. Full time with benefits, starts ASAP. PM me if you're serious, and I'll tell you how to put in a resume. Feel free to ask any questions here. No, I won't tell you who I work for here, yes, I will in PM. |

ability to pass a pre employment and random drug tests;
so your company randomly gives the employees drugs and they have to identify the drugs by their effects? i'd fail that for sure! no experience to draw on. 
ability to not tell everyone else in the office how much time I spend on arfcom.
what is this "arfcom" you speak of? 
unfortunately, i'm in southern NV, can't drive at night and the only degrees i have ar on my thermometer... but a good head and mechanical skills i gots! |

We do have an office in Henderson, I don't know if they are looking for anyone right now. Not driving at night is a problem, but one we can probably work around. I'll keep you in mind if I hear anything for there. PMs sent to you other clowns. /Also, per company policy, no CCW at work. //No open carry either, don't think I didn't try that angle already |

Quoted: That whole part about multiple jobs that last less than six months did it for me. Most archaeologists are lucky to get 6 months of work each year!  I threw that in there to DQ people who aim for the first workmans comp claim they can, or "quit" rather than get fired for failing a drug test. If you've got a good reason for a spotty job history, we're willing to check you out. |

Quoted: Are full grown beards mandatory with your employer? I have yet to meet a geologist who hasn't had a beard. Not mandatory, but highly recommended. /You are going to have to shave it periodically for respirator fit test and use though //Usually *right* when the beard gets epic, the emergency response will happen and you'll have to shave |

I got my msha and a good head on my shoulders, and I wont rat you out for being on arfcom.... I'm guessing that means you can't pass a drug test and your driving record is full of DUIs.
lol, My background is probably cleaner than the popes. This isn't saying much ??? lol |

Im actually doing a remodel for a "rock-hound" out of UNR, right now. He does have a long beard !! ( ZZ top style) He was saying UNR slashed thier budget to nothing, recently......due to the economy |

How about a kid who's working retail right now and might want a "career" in the "ASAP" future? Quoted: Gents, my company needs a new minion.

We pay for your HAZWOPPER, but if you have it before you get hired, that's a definite bonus. Don't get it just to get a foot in the door though. If we think you're worth hiring, HAZWOPPER is part of the deal. We just hired this week, we may still be looking for another, but our need is less "OMGWTFBBQ" and more "LULZ, what can we put the new guy through" now /also, I just got finished working like 100 hours in the last week, so sorry for the late replies //its possible that we're a *bit* busy right now |
