Manpower -- Over The Weekend

After doing my research for job listings on the Manpower.us site, I wasn’t very surprised at my findings. I firstly did a search of the Madison area and there were eleven jobs available for viewing. Most of them involved temporary jobs, which included warehouse positions, assembly lines, service positions, and administrative positions. I found it a positive thing that there was a variety of different positions because someone looking for jobs can have a diversified list of opportunities and get decent usage out of this site.  A lot of them listed also advertised them as temporary to help pay off bills around the holidays, which I think a lot of people would be interested in. I had to research a town next to my hometown because my hometown wasn’t listed. In Stoughton there were three positions available, involving general labor/line work, and one as an Engineering Change Specialist. Other than the engineering position, the jobs mostly only required good work ethic and superb attendance. The engineering position required a lot more responsibilities and experience such as project management experience and certification. I lastly scouted out the jobs in Chicago because that is a place that I’m interested living in one day. Undoubtedly, Chicago had the most jobs listed at 37 positions. The Chicago search had much more offers, but they were the same types of jobs as those in Madison with a lot more administrative assistant positions. They were mostly advertised as temporary positions rather than permanent jobs again, yet I did notice the experience levels were demanded to be a little higher. In general, I found it pretty interesting that the site advertises the concept of finding a career and permanent employment, but a lot of the actual positions listed were temporary and had hourly wages. In general, I think this site is useful in helping someone find a temporary job to, as said, help pay bills around the holidays or other circumstances, but I wouldn’t refer to this site to help me find my career job.
