Department of Labor Employer Reviews

A typical day involves traveling to and from mine sites to conduct safety and health inspections. Typical inspections involve detailed note taking of all areas observed, educating the workforce, recognizing hazards that affect health and safety, citing mine operators for violations of mandatory standards and regulations, offering compliance assistance, – more... and preparing written reports for completed inspections. The most rewarding aspect of inspecting is protecting miners (employees) from hazards and educating people to be more aware of their surroundings so they are able to recognize hazardous areas, equipment, and job tasks/procedures. – less

Interview clients seeking employment, Employers seeking Employees. I learned to work with employers needing to fill job orders of many various fields. I learned to assist them in every possible way including arranging and conducting job fairs. I learned to work with job seeking applicants assiting in matching their skills with employers needs. During – more... my earlier years in the Job service office I managed the reception area, I supervised and trained the staff that manned the area. I worked and inter-acted with other staff in my job catagory, supervisors, office managers, and other staff with in the agency. I worked well with them and maintain a personal relationship with some of them still.
The hardest part of the job for me was to not be able to find everyone a job that wanted one. The most enjoyable part of the job for me was to get that call from a satisfied employer saying they filled their position, or a satisified job seeker saying they got the job..

I worked for the state of Maryland from 1973, til 2005. I did not include old jobs on my resume. – less

We are protecting the most precious resource at the mine, the miner.Typical day includes on-site visits to mines to perform inspections/investigations for any health/safety defects at the mine. Interaction with many people during the course of the day, meet some interesting people. Work a first forty schedule, make your own hours within reason. Great – more... feeling in knowing that you are making a difference out at the mine, for the positive. The hardest part would be being on the road for a few days a week, away from the family, but the time off is great, actually spend more time home. Co-workers are a wealth of knowledge, as well as the management. Overall, a great place to work. – less

A typical day would be just putting information into the computer database and opening mail. I would also pull and sort files so they would be organized as well as typing and printing out memos for meetings.

Working for the government at a young age was an amazing experience. Just to learn and take in all the skills and knowledge from on the hands training was great. Also the helpful peers and the wonderful seminars were all excellent.

After PriceRite and C&S, I had no other ways of making ends meet.

Assist directors as needed. Filing, Mailing, Answering the phone, doing erans.

A typical day at work would be answering phones, processing over 500 to 600 files into the company system, and filing the 500 to 600 files into alphanumeric order. What I learned while working at The Department of Labor is how simple something as filing has an extremely importance to a large company. The hardest part of this job was with me being a – more... people person sitting behind a cubical for the majority of the day. The most enjoyable part of the job would be the friendships and solidarity that was made during my stay. – less

My coworkers were very welcoming when I first got there and it had been the same throughout my time with them..Management is overall perfect..There's nothing complicated about the job..I enjoyed working with all the E.S. Specialist with me being an assistant to them while having their workshops. I also enjoyed creating flyers to advertise any workshop or future event at the time happening and also creating spreadsheets to record attendants day in and day out. – less
