With Las Vegas maintaining its iron grip on the top of our nation’s unemployment statistics, my job search continues. There are opportunities out there, the trick is to draw hiring managers’ attention away from other applicants. That is proving to be quite a challenge.  So many qualified potential employees are out there, we are a crowd filled with talent, making it more difficult for employers to weed out candidates.

Gone are the days of sifting through piles of unqualified resumes, trying to find that one  perfect employee.

Thousands of us are hoping for a shift in the local economy, while working to draw positive attention to ourselves. Once employed, we will all contribute more money to local businesses, causing employers to have enough business to hire more workers.

In April of 2010, I found myself in a situation I have not been in for many, many years. With the downturn in the world’s economy, the automotive industry taking a particularly bad hit, I have joined the approximately 14% of Las Vegas’ population in the ranks of unemployment.

Conveying the wide range of abilities and skills I have picked up is difficult on a single sheet of paper, ie a resume. With the nature of today’s hiring environment, it seems prudent to have as much information available to hiring managers as possible.

Available for a myriad of business types, positions and hours, as well as open to travel, and other non-standard requirements.
Additional information will be available in future posts, employment history is available in my resume, at present.
