Title says it all :lol:

I am looking for someone to help out around the shop here and there, anywhere from 4 to 15 hours a week maybe. Could be more, could be less. We are a welding shop, but dont do any of the big structural stuff or pretty tig jobs. We can do those, but its not the norm. Mostly looking for someone who can help with installs, can learn how do to the basics of mig welding with 16ga - 1/4" material (tube, sheets, angle, strap, plate, etc) and of course grinding/sanding. We have a lot of work right now and its just too much for my partner and I to handle alone. Would be great to have an extra set of hands available.  

We have workmans comp, run payroll every two weeks, and a fully stocked fridge haha. Located in the PHX area

 
Best of luck.  We couldn't even get young peeps coming out of "welding school" to apply.  In 3 months we had 2 people show up for a interview/welding test.  EVIT/RSI/AAI/UTI were given our help wanted listing..

Oh thats good to hear.... I would have killed for something like this when I was 16 years old. Maybe thats why Im doing it now, but its crazy how things have changed just in the last 15 years. Ayeeeee

 
We can't get anyone to apply either. Learn a trade that will keep you financially set for life. Apparently that doesn't register with kids today. Peace

 
We get tons of people scheduling an interview.  99% no shows.  They just gotta show they are "trying" to be gainfully employed.

Had one guy take the time to do the interview and I hired him for what he asked for.  Spent the next twenty minutes filling out paperwork.  Then had to grab someting from his car real quick...

That was the last time we saw him.

Where in phoenix are you located? My son already has a job at Frys 20~ hrs a week but he is a senior in high school and this might be a good opportunity for him for him to get some exposure to a trade (other than electrical and demo work which he has done) or decide if he is serious about going to university.

 
We just transferred my girls to a high school 4x the distance from home than the previous school.  One of the many reasons was a welding class my oldest wants to do.  She's dying to start working too.

To bad you aren't just a bit closer, we live in Hidden Valley, South of Maricopa.  My son was helping at the Dwarf Car Museum, but the owner fell ill and the family took it over...

 
My shop is in Tempe off of Priest and Broadway. Right where the 10 hooks left and goes west if youre coming from the south

 
I know the location.  I cover the 11 Western States working for Miller (Welding Mfg).  If I had a regular travel schedule it might be a fit.  He's due for his license this year so maybe in the future..
