[QUOTE="Serf, post: 1268254, member: 50254"] Good, I struck a nerve. A few points to mention though. 1) Because some people can't perform courier duties, and some can doesn't automatically classify the job as "skilled" 2) The job you applied for is skilled labor. It's too bad your being lied to by the employer, and he's calling it something other than it is. A CDL means you are a professional driver, and operating equipment as well as mason work is usually prefaced by an apprenticeship. 3) In the real world, if you don't posses a degree (s) or graduated from an accredited trade school, the work you perform will always be categorized as "unskilled labor". 4) Doing a job well makes you a good worker. It doesn't mean your a highly skilled technician. 5) Also, I am sort of shocked that you would compare a holocaust mantra to this. 6) Some examples of unskilled labor: delivery driver, general laborer, track worker, security guard, landscaper, cashier, etc. Skilled labor: plumber, electrician, engineer, policeman, designer, even the cable guy! I have a class C haz endorsement, can run the deck and perform the team leader duties, work software programs like TRIPS, IMS, and FAMIS. I can always go to D.G. school for no extra money, and ask the courier at at night how to do internationals, MPS, etc. All of it makes me a well versed worker. You could make a quasi argument on having analytic skills, but it took a few days to learn these out dates, antiquated, methods. Nothing any other employer really wants, or is willing to pay top dollar for. [/QUOTE]
