HuffPost Social Jobs: Help Us Find Out Who's Hiring!

Anyone who has ever waded through a jobs site knows that they aren't the easiest places to navigate. If you've ever found yourself vaguely nauseous from reading job descriptions filled with terms like "team-player," "detail-oriented" and "thinking outside the box," you're not alone. How do you find out who companies actually want to hire? Are you really a good fit for what they want?

As the economy continues its slow tread toward recovery, we're asking employers a simple question: tell us who you're hiring and why. For a new regular feature called HuffPost Social Jobs, we will be compiling 100% crowd-sourced information on who's hiring, so you can be sure that real people are recommending real jobs, in real terms. (Employers: we're looking for simple, common-language descriptions why you're hiring, please skip all jargon, promotional language and other forms of corporate doublespeak.)

Are you hiring or do you know someone who is? Submit your job at HuffPost Social Jobs below or tweet your opportunity with hashtag #SocialJobs!

I was a consultant for 35 yrs. and there a lot of opportunities out there. Lockheed Martin, IBM, Stroagetek, are always looking for good people - better like traveling, and be eligible to get at least a secret security clearence. If you have teaching skills there hardware and software companies who will train you on their products, and then send you out to teach their clients on how to use their products - lot of traveling. If you have teaching skills you may want to look at government teaching jobs in other countries, military bases have schools for dependants, and usually need teachers. There are plenty of minority owned business that have government contracts, and they are always looking for people - eligiblity for security clearence is usually a must. If you are a public speaker, writer, or have computer programming skills, or management skills, local consulting firms are always a good job source. In a lot of cases don't be intimidated by job qualifications - these are requirements for the perfect applicants. There are sites like guru.com where you can pickup working at home jobs, I made $500.00 writing a resume for a man applying for a VP position. Know what you are worth before applying for a consulting position - what does the market pay - adjust accordingly. Good luck.

The Customer Advantage-- MLM meets the Social Network!
Not another MLM I thought as I ran across the compensation plan, to this free opportunity. As I watched the videos and learning about what John Milanoski had to offer I realized that this is like no other MLM that I had ever been approached about. It was free to sign up, you get a free webpage and you’re not trying to pawn off on your friends some product that they would never buy if it wasn't backed by a money making opportunity. It has a basic comp plan and a very basic principal, save money, help local businesses and help your friends save money all rolled up into one brilliant idea! Group buying power and group discounts have always been a popular concept, throw coupons and deals of the day into the mix and you have a billion dollar industry that is getting a lot of attention! In fact Google just offered a similar company 6 Billion dollars! The Customer Advantage is just getting started and is going to be interesting to watch or be involved in. “Start building your new business today.”

Wow, a whole new way of getting scammed, huh?

[TomDLogan]

11:24 AM on 04/08/2011

Scammed out of what? It's free to sign up, and you never have to spend anything if you don't like what is offered. Yes I have been scammed before and no it's not fun... but really? Maybe you should do your research first......

With so many jobs being created (thousands) why don't we know who is hiring? How can they report the job increase numbers without identifying who is hiring? Just wondering? Why the need for commenters to say who is hiring?

I was unemployed for quite a long time and it nearly destroyed me. I finally got lucky and got a really great job with a huge organization. They are now re-structuring so I set out on another job search. Was recently informed that Bank of America is in on the "Put America Back to Work" program. They explained to me they are now focusing on hiring unemployed people only. I was thrilled to hear this because during my unemployed phase few companies wanted anything to do with the unemployed individuals. So I support BofA all the way in this program.

I hope they also hire people in their auto finance division, no offense but some of the people I spoke to about my car loan that I am having trouble paying A) don't speak english very clearly, B) don't seem to have a lot of available resources, or C) are disinclined to be very helpful even with customers that have never missed payments(me). Of course, you figure they're also in the business of strongly encouraging people to keep paying, and they can't afford to start giving stuff away. On the OTHER hand:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/23/jp-morgan-spending-millio_n_178090.html 

JP Morgan recieved $25B when THEY needed it, so is it too much to ask that they try to 'pay it forward', that kind of thing? But, you don't get to be a multibillion-dollar international financial institution by throwing your money to the wind.  

I don't expect a leopard to change its' spots, and I don't expect people in the financial services industry to suddenly start behaving like it's a non-profit. However, I do expect that my transportation options will be changing sometime in the next 60 days.

Dollar General is opening many new stores and are taking applications for 'temporary' jobs, which might possibly lead to full time employment. Minimum wage, but a wage. I am in north central Florida, am supposed to start in March

I know a retired truck driver in his 70's and his former company still calls him once in a while to see if he wants to do a run!

[realitytrumpsbull]

I have looked at becoming a CDL driver, but that's a lot of truck and a lot of responsibility, and I don't want to have to go back through truck driving school. The last time I did that, it was a mistake, and a year and a half before everything got refunded.

So we have a few new jobs doing concrete pouring, plumbing, painting, electrical work and in factories making wood products, fabricated metals, machinery, computers (we still assemble high value parts made in Asia) and peripheral equipment, transportation equipment and food products and in trucking and wholesale services that supply supermarkets, department stores, gas stations, universities and government agencies, with more good news in firms that design or service computer systems, and in architectural and engineering companies, with ambulatory care services and home health care services, as well as nursing and residential care facilities hiring.

But given our "Bring US jobs home trade policy" and "invest in American Technology and industry program", that do not exist, we got the expected increase in jobs in the waste services sector and in Employment services as folks look for work - albeit the jobs are temporary as the cites and town prepare to layoff waste collection workers.

But there is always the good news of more hiring in Leisure and hospitality - now that we are a 3rd world country we are getting a lot of visitors so new workers were needed by hotels, restaurants and bars.

As for college educated jobs - well, it is good to be a Canadian or EU citizen.

But if played correctly in the media, the new numbers will get Obama re-elected.

But for those that like medical lab work and mice, Jackson Lab of Maine will soon be hiring for their Florida expansion.

There's always other things that people will always need done, I know a guy that had a successful lawn care business, but he finally had to give it up because of health reasons. If you price it right, and do a good job, there's always someone out there wanting to pay you to do that kind of work, so they don't have to.

Providence Hospital is looking for Physical Therapists. At 24 bucks an hour or more, they can't find them. They have openings right now in all the facilities here in Alaska. LPN's and RN's are in short supply and are being sought right now with ads. Southcentral Foundation (ANMC Hospital) has ads listed constantly to fill all their positions. Alaska Regional has listings. Medical workers get paid good money here (except CNA's) and are in demand. I'm sure it's not that way most of the places, but has been for years here in Anchorage. My wife retired and it took them over 6 months to fill her position, because of the lack of qualified workers here. Another no one thinks of is the US Public Health Services. They have many doctors, pharmacists, RN's, Dentists, PT, etc that they hire constantly.

Wells Fargo has numerous openings nationally. See wellsfargo.com/careers

My department is within Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, and our managers are looking for experienced real estate people.

Excellent benefits.

OK, it's a bank. But I enjoy the people I work with.

I think given the number of people in financial duress these days, the banks should work with states and counties, as well as the federal government, to develop some good, very low-cost campsites and RV parks, so that people that have run out of money, and resources, and other options, have some place to go. One of the things about financial institutions, is that they have helped people go so far into debt, that they'll be that way for life. Where it gets sick is where they start selling life insurance. There needs to be some kind of stopping point where people can just go bankrupt and be free again. You figure a tent might not be so grand a living space, but if it's yours, and you have a chance to get some kind of job, and feed yourself/family, that's something, and it beats a kick in the head. 

I also think that banks should consider periodically basically holding an account holder's lottery, where if your account number is selected, you either get money or something else. But, would it be legal? I bet that kind of thing would draw/keep customers, though. Imagine getting THAT letter in the mail! Ok, time to put down the pot pipe, and slowly back away...
