I have heard that that is about the only job a teenager can get there. I would really like to make this work out. And help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am applying for a lifeguard position at the local water park, and i am also considering applying for a park maintenance job if they fill all the Lifeguard spots. But i really have no idea what someone with park maintenance would even do. Is it harder than lifeguarding or just different? Do you still spend a lot of time outdoors? Give a choice, which job would you choose? thanks

I'm applying at a small town casino. Do I really need a resume? I don't have any previous work experience nor things to brag about from high school. I feel as though if I do turn in a resume I wouldn't get the job because they would see me as way too serious for someone looking for a part-time maintenance job. If I do, can someone point me in the right direction for making one?

I recently bought a 2004 Hyundai Elantra with 78 K Kms. on it. It is still under warranty. Would you recommend going to Pennzoil Oil change centres for oil change and preventive maintenance jobs or should I take my car to the dealer for the same. Thanks for any suggestions.

I am an electric motor control technician. I am entry level and someday want to become a PLC technician. I want to troubleshoot and maintain these systems.

I originally wanted military police and that is still the only thing that sounds interesting, but sadly I will not be 19 upon completion of the MOS training. I do not want to wait until next year to go to boot camp, so I am considering this electronics maintenance job. I am good with electronics, but I would like to know what exactly you do in this area. Thanks

The government can't run much right. I have family members that work for the post office that say the government has been making it hard to work. As in making more levels of bureaucracy to do simple maintenance jobs. What would our health care system be like if the government controlled everything?

Can anyone give me an average time frame between when I hand in the signature page, and when I can get my training dates? It's a maintenance job, so its not a top secret clearance, just a regular secret clearance. Considering this is a person to person thing, if there is no "average" time frame than how long did it take for you? Or anyone you knew that has one.

What is the safest length or height to be using an extenson ladder? I see one for sale and it is 28 feet and two pieces. There are also different angles at which to lean the ladder. The shorter ladder I have, was used last year and I guess the angle to the ground was too small (where 90 degrees would be perpendicular and straight up) because it would wobble side to side as they climbed up it. It should have been closer to 90 degrees than say, for example, 45 degrees with the ground. I'll put this in maintenance, since ladders are used in maintenance jobs of various kinds. So, in use, when fully extended, a two piece 28 foot ladder won't get you but maybe 25 feet up. That leaves 3 feet above what it is leaning on. But, shouldn't some of the top piece and bottom piece overlap "x" number of feet? Hypothetical: Can a 28 foot extension ladder reach the top of a building 28 feet off the ground? The answer is no unless it is fully extended and 90 degrees to the ground or straight up. So if not 28 feet, then how high can you safely get with a 28 foot extension ladder? Thanks. As you extend the two pieces and get closer and closer to full extension isn't there a limit where top piece should overlap the bottom?
