Host said: What jobs are on the rise in Vancouver?

I am interested in job openings in the Vancouver, WA area for customer service call-center positions. Also any healthcare positions - ie: emergency rm clerk, admissions clerk, front desk office receptionist, and pbx/switchboard operator. Thank you

Check Legacy and Kaiser

Have you checked with Nautilus?

How do you avoid the age question? I have worked in HR and Admin positions for many years. I took a break and moved. I have moved back in the area and have worked full time for a temp agency, hoping to land a full time permanent position; but the employment has been to cover those permanent employees who have taken either maternity or vacation leave . Many companies are experiencing cutbacks. I have great references, but because my "work history" shows my age- I know it it has been difficult for me to get on permanent again, because it reveals that I could retire early than they probably would like.

Do you have any comments on how to avoid this? My work history and performance shows my excellent skills.

I'm at the end of my rope. I'm a veteran, was in the military police/corrections field, and I have an AA degree. I'm more than willing to work hard and learn new things but I can't seem to land a job to save my life. It's been 8 months now and I'm being rejected like a leper. I've used Worksource and so far they haven't been any help. I have gone to interviews and I think that I have done well but not one has even hesitated to decline me. So far the only thing keeping me and my 2 kids afloat is my girlfriend, but I can't expect that to last much longer. I gave up on being picky a long time ago. I just need a job that can pay the bills and let me contribute in my house. Anyone got an answer?

Try Vancouver School District #37 or ESD as a paraeducator (staff assistant) part time. With your degree and as a part time staff assistant there is a sub finder that you would have to sign up based on your availability which will give you an option to work for the school, once you are hired (after background check/FBI) not hard to get full time and because of your degree you will not need to take an assessment test (3 hours test)if full time availability opens.

Also forgot, I am in the same boat. Have a part time job in retail and another part time job to create full time job for myself but due to economy jobs especially full time is hard to come by. I am just lucky that we have medical insurance through my husband's company. If you are willing to check out or venture into new career, check out Labor Industry apprenticeship program. Apprenticeship program will allow you to make income as well as learn in job training. Just sign up through website to get emails with all the apprenticeship programs opening in the area (Oregon or Washington). Hang on there.

Cherie: It is a catch-22. If you list all of your work history, you show your age and if you don't, you are at risk of omitting some valuable experience that might help you land the job. Also, as a rule, in spite of all they say about older worker being dependable, knowledgeable, punctual, on and on, they really prefer the young, fresh faces even if they can't spell a darn or have no idea about work ethic and appropriate dress. Sorry to be so negative, but have been there done that. Still unemployed.

I move here from North Carolina with my partner been looking for a job as a purchasing agent or something in shipping and recieveing for the past 8 months. Worked this Winter and Spring in telemarketing but that not my cup of tea. Can't get any help from unemployment what do I do.

I used work source 10 years ago, vocational rehab, social services, and I get told I can be retrained for a new career, after using work sources computers to make resumes, and sending out to thirty employers, I received no replies form any of them.
But I know several other people who are collecting social security income but they can be retrained as well for a new job. what is a matter with this picture. One person is able to work, but is getting an apartment paid for in full and a income as well, another, is receiving an income, for a supposedly disability, but can ride a bike to go fishing six miles and back.
I try because of multiple seizures, a learning disability that vocational rehab discovered when finding out how much of a disability I had.
Stress of driving will bring on a seizure so I don't drive and limits where I can look for work, also I have to avoid rotating shifts because of medication has to be taken on a regular schedule.
So with all this! social services say they can not help me, two more months and I will not have a home to live in because this one will be taken back to the bank, or sold. Which ever comes first..
