A local talk AM radio talk host in Milwaukee went to a job fair to see what employers wanted as part of an upcoming show.

He asked many employers there what they most wanted in an employee. The answer by all he talked with to every question, no matter how asked, was: some one who shows up.

One firm was asked: what sort of welding experience was needed and they answered: none, just some one who will show up - we will train to start at $24 an hour with a signing bonus.

Welders are still in short supply here.

Where is ‘here’? ....My grandson went to a trade school and earned 8 certifications in welding. Hard for him to get a good job here in the DFW area. ....Seriously, I’d like you to contact me via FReepMail at least and let me know where the welding jobs are.

I’m pretty sure you have to be certified in welding so I doubt anyone is hiring untrained ones. They may be hiring them to see if they can pass certification....at the employees expense.
