1. Corning optic fiber plant on US 601 south of Midland is planning to hire 200 in-plant production workers. I understand they are going thru a temp agency to do the application processing and screening.
2. Duracell in Lancaster SC is preparing to hire 150 plant workers.
3. In hard economic times the NC State Employees Credit Union actually EXPANDS and DOES hire for career positions. Check their website at:

Only those locations with openings are listed. You have to first select a location and then check each specific position at that location. This might be of use to those affected by the 30000 pending BofA layoffs.
4. I've also heard of pending hiring in the highway construction inspection field. For info, contact me at work at: fburton@ncdot.gov Fred Burton Treas 10615, Monroe
A MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
Today, I would like to introduce VA for Vets, an outstanding new program to help our Veterans find appropriate careers at the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Set to launch on November 11, Veterans Day, VA for Vets takes a high-tech and
high-touch approach to recruiting, hiring, retaining, and reintegrating Veterans into the VA workforce. As part of its high-tech
solution, the program offers state of the art online tools for Veterans as they seek employment or look to further career
development opportunities. The online Career Center includes: a military skills translator that translates military skills into
civilian language; a resume builder that tailors Veterans’ resumes so they can more easily compete for open positions in
VA; and avatar-based technology that connects deployed Servicemembers back to VA during their operational missions.
The high-touch solution comes in the form of career and reintegration coaches who are readily available to help Veterans andServicemembers take full advantage of opportunities offered through the Career Center or to ensure a seamless transition into
the VA workforce. Three new Coaching Call Centers will be operational in Dumfries, Virginia; Ebensburg, Pennsylvania; and
New Orleans, Louisiana, starting October 26.
As Vice-Chair of President Obama’s Veteran Employment Council, I am confident that VA can set the standard for Veterans’
recruitment and career development at other Federal agencies. VA for Vets is part of a larger strategic initiative led by the newly
established Veteran Employment Services Office (VESO) within the Office of Human Resources and Administration. I have set
a goal for VA to increase its Veteran workforce from 30 percent to 40 percent, and VESO will be at the forefront of that effort,
working with all offices and administrations, to ensure we achieve our goals.
The VA for Vets program represents a commitment to transforming the way we hire and retain our Veterans. This program
requires the personal commitment of all VA employees so we can uphold our sacred trust and moral obligation to care for those
“who have borne the battle.”
