Need a little help

[DJ in KC]

Youngest daughter is living in Lawrence. Kind of in and out of school the last few years. And she needs to get a job. If anyone has some ideas about who is hiring, that would be greatly appreciated. 23 yr old, knows POS well, Credit Card processing, etc. Thanks for anything you all have.

Wish I could help, Dan. I also have a son here that is severely underemployed. Lawrence is the toughest of job markets. All the students that end up here just stay and stay. I'll keep my ears open and if you hear about anything let me know, too.

My son is in the same boat.
I will also keep any eye out...

Younger-middle-aged multilingual guy with three bachelors and a recent master's seeks meaningful, professional position with a fair, livable wage and benefits. Experience with quantitative and qualitative research report writing, statistical analysis, boots-on-the-ground environmental work, knowledge of Federal and State environmental and ag regulations, grant writing, grant-funded cross-disciplinary international experience, computer literate with some programming experience, motivated self-learner. Mix of professional and academic, theoretical and practical experience.

Beyond this, I believe it might be professionally disadvantageous to place bitter personal expression on a public forum, and I'm not too willing to do that.

Dan, I'll send a PM with some unsolicited advice. I know that that’s not what you asked for, so by all means, delete it without reading it. It'll be blunt and if you find it offensive, it's not personal. Rather, it'll be a curt distillation of my best advice based on my direct experience here in Lawrence. I'll send it to anyone else who asks. (Dan gets it without asking!)

Thanks guys. Even bad news lets you evaluate what to do next better. I appreciate it !

times are tough, what better people to ask than the LBG. Can't think of any.

Famous Daves was probably the latest employer that I know of
Big retirement community will be opening in the fall at 6th and Folks, should be some hiring coming up. I'll keep a look out while I'm out inspecting these various places.

Dan, have her put in an application at KU memorial unions. The HR dept is on the fourth floor of the Union. There are a variety of jobs, I happen to work in food service. She can search jobs and fill out an application on a computer there, I think there are part time openings here in the Crimson Cafe. Working at KU has benefits, like a meal plan and flexible schedules for part timers. Let me know if she has any problems, I can help out. Lee
