Jobs! but NOT in AmeriKa...in Canada. The positions being offered are long term, with many paying as much as 30 percent more than similar industry positions in the United States. Some positions will require a move to Canada, but many others will allow veterans to commute — working several weeks in Canada, then one week back home. “This is a fantastic opportunity and I’m proud of our affiliation with Vet-Jobs,” said VFW National Commander Richard DeNoyer. “Helping thousands of veterans to get well-paying jobs in an important industry just further proves that no one does more for veterans than the VFW.” To apply, go to www.vetjobs.com, click on Search Jobs, then type “opportunity awaits” into the company search field.

Sounds like exporting jobs....I may be wrong.

Hmm, I just might be interested.
Does anyone know if it snows there?

Once again I'll ask my questions...

Are those of us who served but didn't serve in combat be eligible since it's VFW or is this only reserved for its members?
Is this restricted to honorable service or are those who messed up and got a General, OTH or BC discharge welcome to apply?
Is the VFW going to help push the paperwork or help pay for getting a passport?
Do vets even need a passport to get hired to begin with?

Too many unknowns unreported in this article.

"The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. is proud to announce that it....has secured an exclusive employment initiative with Alberta, Canada, that could see thousands of U.S. veterans heading north to work on their oil pipeline.

Now THAT'S a REAL veterans organization.

Don’t worry, if people get hungry enough, they’ll figure out the exceedlingly complex process of getting a passport, and finding a place to sleep when they get there. Thanks for the post. If nothing more it is a nice illustration of the jobs that should be available here.

But all this whining reminds me of Aesops fable about the fox and the grapes. Can’t get them,,so decides they are sour anyway.

Canada Ping.

CANADA WANTS U.S.VETERANS FOR PIPELINE WORK
VFW-backed VetJobs now posting thousands of new vacancies

It sounds as though Barry might be outsourcing our veteran workers. If a vet can’t find a job in Barry’s Amerika, Canada will work.

Hey to say it, but Obama has turned us into the new Mexico.
