On Labor Day 2012 and every day, one of my top priorities is to help those looking for work get the training they need for good-paying jobs.
By 2020, 17 of the 30 fastest-growing occupations will require a postsecondary certificate or degree. In fact, employers are actively looking to fill nearly 4 million job openings in America right now. Getting the skills employers want and need are critical to a successful career.
Here are a few tips:
Get started! Your first step is to check out your local American Job Center. These nearly 3,000 "one-stop-shops" are part of a nationwide network where you can work with experts to update your resume, strengthen interview skills and explore current job openings. Find your local center by visiting CareerOneStop.org.
Looking for a fresh start? Check out MySkillsMyFuture.org to discover different careers that build off of your existing skills, connect you to free training programs and even find employers in your area looking to hire. The site also shows how much different jobs pay near you or across the country, as well as the additional skills you'll need to succeed.
Not sure what career is right for you? Visit MyNextMove.org to find the job that's the perfect fit. Fill out a questionnaire listing your interests and abilities, and get suggestions for different employment paths in more than 900 careers. This site will also identify local apprenticeship and certificate programs to help you train and get a job in high-growth industries.
Are you a veteran? “My Next Move for Vets” is designed just for you! Enter your military occupation code and the site matches your military skills to civilian jobs. If you're a post-9/11 era veteran, you can also download a Veterans Gold Card at DOL.gov/VETS to get specialized services from your local American Job Center.

Again we'll just have to agree to disagree on whether the environment is benign or hostile. RINO is the correct acronym. Thank you and God bless you too. Don't worry. I don't take any of this silly crap seriously. I'll put in a good word for you when I get to the other side. Of course, I do like it warm. You may not want me putting in a good word with he guy who may be greeting me. LOL
BTW: Youtube as a source really.... similar to using Wikipedia.
Second, does it really matter, being he already has the Job. If you want to agrue his Job performance that is a very valid agrument. But I'm sure that the FBI and Secret Service have better resources and knowledge than all of us. The Birther agrument is just as redundant as the American Government was behind 9/11.
I would bett on our FBI and Secret Service.
Obama supporters "listen to what he says, not what he's DONE" The worst so called recovery in History of the USA. A Christian America melting down to "no-Faith in a GOD" A Removal of "GOD" from the Christian communities of ALL America. That is NOW the official Platform of the "new" Democratic Party. They are a Demolition of Amercan Christian principles Party. A "faith based society" with no Higher Father Name to look up to, is the final step toward Capture of us all. The woman who claim to be "Catholic" faith, ARE HYPOCRITES. Catholic Woman are voting and supporting -- Abortion--a President who would Eliminate "GOD" from our society, A President who did not approve the BAN of killing a live born baby in Illinois congress. (Late term abortions) Soon these ignorant Catholic Woman will have no where to run as the government actually starts Controlling their child-bearing numbers. Soon these ignorant (and Hypocritical) Catholic woman will be stamped with the title-- I AM THE ONE WHO ATE THE APPLE (Pill) that destroyed Society. Yes---, The Garden of EDEN is happening Again. (The snake and "evil" are restarting Humanity) All because of the "ignorance of Catholic woman)
I must have rode into an already "potent" mental drain. Did you ever hear of "GOD"? That is the "drug of Life". It's Free without stealing other people money to support it. B/T/W There is No such thing as "medical marijuana".
Yes Paul I have heard of God. I believe in God, just not the petty, vindictive tyrant god in which you believe. The god you reference (I'm assuming you're referring to the god in the Bible) seems to possess all the weaknesses and shortcomings of the men who wrote the book. God created a universe. Do you really think he needed to write a book? Let me ask you a question. Does your God speak English and does he guide your fingers as you type? I hope not. Perhaps, if one of the two of you would learn to communicate in English, the rest of us might have a clue as to that which you are blathering. Think of all the wonderful things you'll learn: punctuation, singular vs. plural, sentence structure, the correct uses of verb tenses, etc. Your god might like it too.
Where are you when I need You? Even Men respond to a comment directed to a "Catholic Woman" No , George my comments are directed to every individual "Woman" out there. Give me a "texting era break" PLS (::) are these mispelled?
"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:45-46). Then again, Jesus was actually being crucified and you are merely being tortured by me.
