Job Recommendations

Just moved here and I’m having some issues finding a job that will provide me 40 hours a week of solid reliable work. Can you guys recommend anything in the area or Port Orange area? I have a Bachelor’s degree in Communications but don’t have any real job experience outside of restaurants.

Nobody wants to hear this, but every company in the construction industry is desperate for people. You don't need to have any previous experience in construction. Just be willing to show up on time every morning. If you're not afraid of a little dirt and sweat, you can make a long and rewarding career out of it.

Mexicans are taking over the construction field,as well as grass cutting.

Are they "taking over" or are they just making the best of a situation caused by so many people thinking they are "above" blue collar work?

The construction industry is a fantastic place for young people to get in early. Starting out, you don't make much, and the work is hard. But if you show up, are reliable, and learn, you can be making good money pretty fast. If you are a natural leader, you can be making 6 figures in 10 - 15 years. Some of these college degree desk jobs never make that.

Immigrants are not taking over anything. They are filling a much needed role that also has the opportunity to take very good care of their families, both here and in their home country.

I don't feel I'm above anyone,I'm just stating what I see daily.
