You guys don't think it would be smart to show up to interview in full gear?
Maybe I can just walk up to a construction sight in full gear and ask them if they need any help.
With zero experience? Highly unlikely you'll get hired.You guys don't think it would be smart to show up to interview in full gear?

in the US it is definitely not. unemployment is very low. 3.9%This would have worked back in like the 80's. Now days you need licensing, certificates and all that stuff. And there needs to be an actual job opening and you need to apply and go through the interview process. They won't just hire some random smuck that walks up to the construction site lol. It's an employer's market right now, so the bar is set very high.
You're right...but to a degree, the Squirrel is also right. Unless it's some gypo contractor, just walking up and getting hired on the spot...WITH NO EXPERIENCE...ain't likely to happen. IF the OP seriously wants to become a construction laborer...and it's not a bad way to support yourself...then he'd better be getting some training...forklift certification, flagger certification, some of the many free "intro to construction" classes that are available.in the US it is definitely not. unemployment is very low. 3.9%
He has orgs like PeopleReady to give him temp work and leads.A lot of the jobs that are keeping the unemployment rate down are also minimum wage jobs like fast food etc. Lot of those people are most likely still trying to find a "real" job that they can actually live off of. Those jobs are the ones with a very high barrier of entry.
which still means employers need to compete for labor. you can't be in two places at once.A lot of the jobs that are keeping the unemployment rate down are also minimum wage jobs like fast food etc. Lot of those people are most likely still trying to find a "real" job that they can actually live off of.

Sure for more skilled and specialized labor, but Squirrel only knows his teensy tiny little rural world and nothing more. He has shown it constantly. In general he is totally wrong. Do you know how many undocumented migrants help the construction and landscaping businesses around metropolitan areas thrive? I see them on job sites here. A client needs a good handyman, the guy I recommend he is now on the path to citizenship but he wasn't when he got here. He did what I've heard of numerous times - a rich fucker has housing for them, they get housing with their job, but they work like prisoners. They are not literally prisoners but they are worked like crazy and have very little life. They have no leverage with no papers. This is the real world, not some bumblefuck in Canada.You're right...but to a degree, the Squirrel is also right.

Those illegals could always stay home...they get zero sympathy from me about how hard life is.Sure for more skilled and specialized labor, but Squirrel only knows his teensy tiny little rural world and nothing more.

Their effect is mixed bag. The ones who have to follow the rules cannot necessarily compete on price.Sure for more skilled and specialized labor, but Squirrel only knows his teensy tiny little rural world and nothing more.
