@DennisinMH
 
I looked for one of your previous "job" threads and gave up. You have hundreds!
Metamora has an opening...

I suck at pasting links. I hope it works!

@Whit : I looked up their job openings. Unfortunately, I don't qualify for any of them. But thanks for thinking of me!

@DennisinMH : You don't QUALIFY for any of them ? Custodian? I think it is time to be honest,there is no job out there for you and YOU are happy being a "Sandwich Delivery Person"

@JL0129 :
 
Did you read the job listings? "Subsitute" Custodian? How many hours do you think that would be? Is the pay the same as Jason's Deli? Metamora is probably another 20 minutes away from where he works now. So there's another 40 minutes added to his commute.

@bgbird68 : What I read was 2nd shift Custodian and another for Substitute Cafeteria worker. Fact is that Dennis wants a job he is no longer Qualified for, but will not take less. He was told of jobs at Cat and other places. But those would require retraining.

I did respond to a contractor job at Caterpillar Proving Grounds for a Digital Media Specialist, the one that somehow uses video as a measurement tool? Sent my resume last week. Called this week. No response.
 
Again, when they see my main work experience listed as starting in 1986 (even though I started doing video in 1980 at age 20) I suspect they're calculating how old I am, figure I'm close to 65 or close to retiring. Doesn't help if on some applications have to list what year I graduated from ICC. Which was Fall 1980.
 
As far as the Custodian..yes it's a substitute job, but probably one that requires knowledge of boiler and HVAC systems. Which I don't have.
I recently got a .75/hr raise where I'm at now, plus tips have gotten better, so they must be trying to keep me.
 
But the search goes on.

Caterpillar is still hiring at its Morton parts facility. They just started a new class last week.
 
...and they hire people in their 60s.

@DennisinMH : Custodians usually push broom & mops, maintenance would handle the HVAC & boiler. From what I heard, it is a full time position WITH benefits.
How bad do you want to get away from delivery?
Do you dislike being around kids?
Maybe you could introduce yourself to the video editing department you desire?

@Whit : No, I hadn't. Very impressive syllabus/course outline for a high school. I don't recognize the name of Mrs. Dale, however.
