[Logic n' Reason]

One indeed does pick up a lot in 25 years!

I assume you have a good resume all set to go?

What is the area of the country you need to target?

[Thumper1960]

SouthCentral Pennsylvania. Close to Lancaster. I’ve worked from here in a 75 mile radius over the years.

Yup, got resumes and usually send them out via e-mail or snailmail whenever I get leads or wish to target an area.

U.S. Northern Command: Civilian Employment Information

Currently, all USNORTHCOM civilian positions are advertised through the Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) at Randolph AFB. You can check vacancy listings at https://ww2.afpc.randolph.af.mil/resweb. You must submit your resume through the AFPC system and then self-nominate for a position.

Go to the Randolph site listed above and click on their Job Kit and post your resume through their system. This generally takes five work days. Then, when you see an advertisement you would like to apply for, you may self-nominate immediately.

Another site listing federal civilian vacancies is www.usajobs.opm.gov.

“Career Fair In Southfield”

SNIPPET: “Southfield (WWJ) — Jobs working for the CIA, the FBI and the Army National Guard. They’re on offer Thursday night at a career fair in Southfield.

The fair is being put on by the Arab American and Chaldean Council. The Council’s Kimberly Hassan says they’re looking for special skills.

“They’re seeking those with Arabic, Dahri, and Pashtu language skills. The position ranges from anything from professional staff careers to language specialists. Depending on the company that people are interested in, the requirements vary,” said Hassan.

You need citizenship for the CIA, but the National Guard only needs a green card.

The fair is Thursday night at the Regency Manor and Banquet Center on 12 Mile Road in Southfield from 6 to 8 p.m.”

SNIPPET: “According to a new survey conducted throughout Kentuckiana, the most job growth is happening in healthcare.

New web portal, www.KIX.com, the Kentucky-Indiana Exchange, surveyed 23,000 employers of all kinds. Second on the list are jobs in computer technology and human resources.

And rounding out the top three locally is construction work. That’s a positive sign about the economy as a whole.”

Backyard gardens become source of income
upi ^ | May 21
Posted on May 23, 2010 7:12:12 AM PDT by JoeProBono

Los Angeles, which has a growing number of people selling home-grown fruit and vegetables, is halting enforcement of an ordinance against the practice.

The Los Angeles City Council said it is suspending enforcement of a 1946 ordinance and weighing a new measure, the Food and Flowers Freedom Act, which would allow for the growing of “berries, flowers, fruits, greens, herbs, ornamental plants, mushrooms, nuts, seedlings or vegetables for use on-site or sale or distribution off-site,” the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.

The measure comes as an increasing number of local residents and people across the United States are turning to their home gardens as a source of supplementary income.

Cam Slocum, 50, said he grows beefsteak tomatoes and salad green baby mache in his back yard and sells them to restaurants. He said he has 10 regular clients and he wants to add 20 more to keep his garden profitable.

Ken Takayama, chef de cuisine at French restaurant Melissein Santa Monica, said locals are increasingly coming into the establishment aiming to sell their vegetables. He said the number has been steadily increasing since the economy first started tanking three years ago.

“Every day, every week, it’s something new,” Takayama said. “You name it, they have it.”
