Resume's do tend to scare some people off, especially if is it is for factory work. Many people don't know, but if you are registered with careerlink and have your work history on file, they can print you out a resume. Granted, it isn't the most fancy, but it is better than nothing. If I had a better car, I would be looking for work in the Butler area. Hopefully that new car comes this spring.
Several of you hit the nail right on the head. There is so many people living off of welfare in this county, it is ridiculous. A former friend of mine who is 30 years old and has 4 kids, the first coming at 19, has never worked a day in her life, welfare has paid for it all. Welfare has even paid for several cars for her, so that she could get a job. Ha, what a joke. Welfare needs to take a better look at what is going on in this county. Whatever happened to that checkdown on welfare that was supposed to happen all those years ago?? I'm not trying to bash everyone who is on it, some people need it, plus children shouldn't starve. But our government needs to take a long hard look at what is going on, ya right, like that would really happen.
