Lt. James Cater Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 It looks like i'm i'm done at my current job. Seeing as i'm single with no dependants i can be quite mobile. The way things have been lately it seems to be a big bonus. Anyways, i've been knowing about the work situation in Fargo for the last some years after reading an article in the Wall Street Journal and talking to some folks from the region. Seeing the city in the news a few weeks ago and talking to an ex ND co-worker gave me basic heads up info for a possible contingency plan but i need to know a little more (I'll also be searching the net like mad). What do you think are the hot jobs and what are the demands/requirements? What about semi skilled employment? Is there work for experienced non-cook kitchen(restarant)workers? What is the basic cost of living? Is it easy to find a place to live.. IE apartments/boarding house/rooms for rent? Is there a particular ID or permit/card i would need to work in ND? Like i said above, i'll be doing a lot of searching on my own but would really apreciate any info someone can give me. Thanks all. Quote
Jeremiah Weed Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Is there a particular ID or permit/card i would need to work in ND? Maybe I'm stupid, but there are states where an American citizen needs a special permit to get a job? Unless you are talking about special credentials like a HAZMAT certification... Quote
serverandenforcer Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Maybe I'm stupid, but there are states where an American citizen needs a special permit to get a job? Unless you are talking about special credentials like a HAZMAT certification... Security guards, barbers, and bankers just to name a few require permits in order to work in California. For security gurards though, they need an extra permit to carry a firearm. Quote

Unless you are talking about special credentials like a HAZMAT certification... Anyone having worked the the Hotel/Casinos of Las Vegas/Clark county, Nevada can tell you any number of stories of the variety of cards you needed to be able to work. For example.. for years in order to work in a Kitchen i had to have a Health Card and a Sheriffs Card as well as a legal ID and SS card or no joy. If i was serving alcohol yet another card was required. It would help to know stuff like that before i decide to head up there. Quote

IE : The special credentials for certain jobs I was talking about when I gave the HAZMAT example, not just "a permit to work" as he never mentioned a specific job. Quote
