State job? Does that mean you'll have to take a civil service exam? I went to our state's civil service website and it's down until Monday. I'm going to see what all I can apply for there and take the exam. Typically, working for the state of LA the pay isn't the best depending upon what you're doing, but the benefits are most excellent and make up for it. I have a couple of friends and varying aquaintainces who have state jobs and do well in their fields and have some of the best benefits I've seen. If I can get my foot in the door at the local hospital, they'll also pay for education for some medical positions too. That would be awesome!

No exam that I know of. I'm a photog. I dont know what kind of test I can take to prove that... Thats why I have a demo tape. My pay now sucks. And I work weekends. And holidays. And I never see my wife. While not nearly as exciting...the state gig would be ALOT more money, 9-5 Monday through Friday and holidays off. Not to mention the state beni's.
That being said...I'd rather stay where I'm at...if I was monday through friday.

As much as I loved my old job, the pay wasn't exactly the best but the benefits were good. I had considered in the past applying at their competitor's because the pay was a little better, although I don't know much about their benefits. I just put in an online app (the only way you can apply for the job) so hopefully I'll hear something back from them. I mean, how many licensed operators could there be in this town trying to get the position? The old job trained you. This one wants someone who's already been trained and licensed. Hell, I had been in the security industry for a few years before I knew about the trainining and licesning. Not to mention that there was actually a monitoring center or two in town. Imagine my surprise!

That sucks about your pay cut. And it's sad to see how many people are getting laid off lately. Knowing that makes job hunting even more nerve wracking.
