City of Minneapolis Jobs
September 28, 2007 by joel cheesmanIn a recent budget proposal, Minneapolis Mayor, R. T. Rybak, introduced a plan that he hopes will focus spending on public safety. The new plan calls for money to be devoted to fighting gang graffiti, truancy, youth violence, and bus transportation for inner city kids to various community programs. To accomplish these goals Rybak’s budget called for the addition of 18 Minneapolis jobs for officers on the city’s police department in 2008.
According to the StarTribune.com. Rybak’s political opponents have been critical of the fact that he has yet to hire up to the 893 officers that were allowed by the previous budget. In his defense, Rybak says that some positions that might have been filled by uniformed officers have been converted into jobs for Minneapolis civilians. At this time the city has 864 individuals on the police force, which includes 9 officers added in the last week.
The proposed budget will increase public safety spending by roughly 4 percent, from $192 million to $200 million. This increase also includes the addition of a few other Minneapolis jobs. For example, 4 individuals will be hired to assist in answering 911 calls. The plan is that this will decrease the amount of time it takes to respond to emergency calls, which could potentially save lives.
In addition to the 22 new jobs in Minneapolis mentioned, there may soon be additional positions announced. This conclusion can be drawn from the fact that Rybak’s plan to provide transportation for the inner city young to various programs could mean increase in the number of Minneapolis bus drivers needed.
In many area’s there are waiting lists for individuals who desire to join either the police force or local fire department. Due to the fact that these jobs often have a high turn over rate, such a list is necessary to keep these departments working at full staff. For those interested in one of the new Minneapolis employment soon to be opening up, getting on this list as soon as possible is imperative. Even if an individual is not hired on when these positions become available, it is likely they may receive a job offer at a latter time. -

Crashing a Career Expo
by Candice A
Provided By: Associated Content, Inc.Recently I was invited to a Career Expo in the Long Beach area. By “Invited” I mean that I saw an ad in the newspaper, and decided to give it a look. It’s not that being a Content Provider isn’t satisfying enough, but I had two good reasons to go: (1) I was bored and (2) I was running out of pens with corporate logos.
They were holding this thing in the ballroom of a hotel.
