What does this mean??
Hey all, was looking at a certain job and requirments and I came across one but I don't quite understand what this means, it says I need "six months of general labor support" what does that mean?
I work as a service clerk and do stocking for right now, does this count/in the same ballpark? I tried calling but didn't get through, so I thought I'd try peachparts!

I thought general labor meant a job that pertains to being able to do basic construction work like painting, handling a wrench, knowing righty tighty/ lefty lousy, possibly a step above janitorial service.
I consider owning a w123 basic general labor support. It's HR junk so no harm in just sending your resume in. If they ask say you worked as a stocker in your current job and set up/tore down displays, metal racks, and other various items. The worst they can say is no or pass you up for someone else. I'm guessing you work retail right now?

I would guess that they are just looking for some workplace experience.
In real life, A good interview is worth more than meeting some silly pre-packaged job requirement.

Minimum six months experience in general labor support. High school graduate or GED. Valid Driver's license required. Desired Qualifications : CPR/First Aid and/or Wilderness First Responder preferred. Professional outdoor labor experience such as trail construction/maintenance, wild-land firefighting and landscaping is preferred. Computer background preferred. Experience with hand and power tools is preferred. Some trades experience is preferred. So do they mean labor support as in the trail construction, landscaping and ect? The diploma I have, have the drivers license, I can take a CPR class and get certified, I have no idea what a wilderness first responder is I can look for help to get experience with trail construction and maintenance, not sure I can get any wild land fire fighting in there lol might be able to get some experience with professional landscaping from a friends dad and I am pretty good with computers and know how to use some power tools. Some trades preferred will the ones they just listed work?? >_< lol okyoureabeast you said something about "HR" what does that mean? A few years ago when I saw this job I was lucky enough to find someone who knew a little about it, he said: "Both these jobs require minimal on-site training, so as long as your resume put you in the general ballpark it should make it past the initial HR filtering." All I have on my resumé is working for In N Out Burger, A Delicatessen and I currently work at a Walgreens while I go to school, I also did car detailing with my dad. I'm hoping that if I get CPR certified and all the others ones that were possible, I'm hoping of having a good chance of getting the job. You don't really have to meet every single requirement do you?

Call the local Red Cross or walk down to the fire station and ask them about CPR class. Get that real quick and it might just help. The bit about wilderness firefighting kinda bothers me. That can be dangerous work and requires training. Real easy to get hurt bad or worse if things go wrong in that business.

Go to the interview, tell them what you can do and that you are willing to learn anything they have to offer. I worked my way around the world for 20 years with this attitude and was never without work. A willing applicant is worth a wall full of diplomas.
The worst that can happen is that you don't get a job you didn't have anyway. |

HR is Human Resources, the "new wave" name for personnel weenie. These positions usually attract people who live by rules no matter how stupid and who like to exercise petty power. Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach;those who can't teach, become "consultants"; those who can't consult, become personnel weenies, aka " HR staff." Those who can't become HR staff are usually the comatose in the state hospitals.

In the world of emergency medical attention, a first responder is the first level of training, followed by MRT (medical response technician) then EMT (emergency medical technician). Typically a first responder course is 40 hours, whereas a wilderness first responder is 80, IIRC

In most organizations they forward the pool of resumes to the person in a specified department who is looking for a new employee. They go through the resumes and take out applicants who don't meet the minimum requirements,etc. Judging from your description it looks like a park ranger job. Just submit an application with your resume No harm in not applying. Call back in a couple of days and see if you can get a hold of the person who does the hiring. Calling back does help a LOT of the time.

Have you worked with your hands? Back? Can you lift 50, 60, 70 lbs. without cying like a baby?
Are you able to follow some directions without getting kicked in the seat of your pants or having someone stand over the top of you giving you directions all day long? Are you somewhat reasonable enough behind the wheel that you won't be a danger to those around you? Or, did you screw up and lose your DL and need transportation (public or otherwise) to get to work?
