“Garland creates temporary worker pools to help cut costs”
12:00 AM CDT on Monday, March 9, 2009
By FRANK TREJO / The Dallas Morning News
“Tough economic times have led to innovation in Garland.”
SNIPPET: “Loren Smith, who retired in 2007 after 26 years in the city of Garland’s information technology department, expects to start working part time on a temporary project. ‘It’s a good time to do this, while I’m still in good health,’ he said.
In a move expected to benefit taxpayers, the city has started two temporary worker pools to fill vacant municipal jobs. One is for former or retired employees and the other for Garland residents.”
I haven’t been unemployed in a while. The last time I was down-and-out was in Michigan in the late 1980s. There was 15% unemployment in my area, and things were grim, grim, grim. I did retail, food service, dishwashing and (Heaven help me) door-to-door vacuum cleaner sales.
Finally I got hold of a typewriter, taught myself to type 70 wpm, read the manuals on WANG wordprocessors, and went down to a Temporary Agency (Manpower). I had work every day for the next six months.
The pay was pretty lousy, about one and a half times the minimum wage, but at least I was on the positive side of the ledger. I showed up for work ten minutes early every day, well dressed and groomed and ready to give a full day’s work. I had a few fill in assignments, but every long-term gig I had wound up with an offer of full-time employment at a significant increase in pay. I did not want to do that type of work long-term, so I wound up turning them down.
I did that for about a year, until something better came along. I guess I could have sat on my butt for that year, but that wouldn’t have done me any good, and I would have been about $15K poorer. I still had time in the morning to check the papers and type up response letters to include with my resume. Working full time did not slow down my job search at all.
My eventual employer was a start-up. I was his first full-time employee. He said that it was the resume, with the Manpower time listed first, above all the “legitimate” experience and educational qualifications, that convinced him that I was the right person for the job, and that I could do whatever it took to get his business off the ground.
