Any Vets Looking for a Job in Gods Country
« on: August 23, 2008, 04:55:56 PM »
Western Wyoming is pretty much a sportsmans paradise, so much hunting and fishing opportunity you have to set priorities or you'll run yourself ragged. And believe it or not there is a shortage of good employees due to a burgeoning energy industry at the present. This could change at any time , especially if the Democrats gain much in the next election, but for now workers are scarce here.

I am so impressed with this new crop of veterns that I have been thinking about what I could do to express my appreciation. Maybe the help wanted ads in our local paper would be a way. The paper is printed in Riverton a town of about 10,000, so it is not a big paper.

Here are some of the types of jobs advertised in todays paper, that veterns could be interested in. Bartender, salesman for Sears, telephone computer technician-no experience required,tool operators for oilfield, para educator/teacher, slot machine tech, weed and pest district employee,security guard,teller,vault cashier, Verizon authorized retailer, city driver, cook, school business manager, mortgage loan officer,emergency management admin assistant, patient services rep.

Employiers are begging for good people in this neck of the woods. If you are a vet thinking about what to do with the rest of your life let me help you. If I kept this thread alive for awhile with a daily update of help wanted ads would that be of interest? I can furnish you with a the  complete  ad if you ask on this thread or PM me. I can act as a go between if that would help. Let me know, is anybody out there interested?

bill,

  When I retire from the AF in 8-10 years, I am trying to convince the wife to settle in WY. We lived in MT for a few years, and I really like that part of the country! Great scenery, and some great people!

bilmac...I will forward this link to my boy at Ft. Bragg, NC and the rest of the 82nd Airborne.  The Army is FULL of boys moving into and out of NC that have seen action in Iraq, Afghanistan, and all points of the globe.  Some of them may be looking for a quieter life in a place called Wyoming. 

VERY GOOD POST. 

I wish I was 35 years younger and knew then what I know now.  I would come to this "Siren's Call" in a heart beat.

There was an article on the front page of the local paper today, the sheriff is short 6 people to run the county jail. This is probably a low pay starter job, but probably a good way for a good man who didn't mind going lean for awhile to break into LE. The departments admin number is 307 332 5611. Call, they sound desperate. The pay may sound pretty low by city standards, but it isn't real expensive to live here.

Right now things are booming with lots of oil and gas development, but this will go bust as the Dems have their way. This is a perpetual cycle in Wyo. We know what will happen from decades of experience. As the oilfields dry up there will be a mass exodus from the State. Those who have stable jobs somewhere besides energy related will be able to stay if they are good people. There will be lots of competition for jobs that today cannot be filled. Someone who wants to come here needs to make his move now before the Dems kill the Wyo economy too. A benefit of the coming bust is that the cost of living will plummet, especially housing.

Very true on the cycling of the economy! I moved to Wy in 1985. Couldn't buy a job. Finally got a decent one in 1988. Lasted 5 years. Got another one, lasted 6 years. After 18 years, I had to leave to afford my child support!! I can laugh now, it's all paid, but it wasn't funny then! I dearly miss Western Wyoming, expecially Sweetwater County. Maybe someday.....

Hello everyone,
  What's the employment situation look like now, post-election?  I know of soldiers that are coming and going almost constantly and would love to advise them towards a brighter future. Besides, one day I will need a job and that could be sooner than later.  :)


Thanks, Dinny

As predicted, the oil and gas boom is over, it happened almost overnight. Lots of folks leaving the state, jobs are hard to find. One bright spot is that there are lots of forclosures. I have finally found a few acres in the country that I can afford.

I'll be around the Army for a while, partly due to the economy.  I doubt I will have any more job security anywhere else.
