How much are they paying? I can program a CNC lathe and run manual mill/lathe. :-)
I agree, I'm a cnc machinist and finding quality ones are few and far between. Most end up being just button pushers and are no where near a machinist. It takes a long time to learn this trade and most aren't willing to put in the work. Our company is hiring frantically and we get lucky every once in a while.
If you can prove it
Ill hire you right now for $20+
Be an off shift for a while though....
We just got the OK to hire 60+ more machinist. Hell we take kids straight out of Vo Tech and give them damn near top pay plus great benefits. Plus 2 weeks vacation and week of paid sick time, the day you start. We've been doing job fairs for a year or two, picking who we can when we can, plus Ive been interviewing and training guys none stop. Problem is, we need guys that can hit the ground running! But there ain't many out there that don't already have a job or willing to work an off shift for 5-8 years before going to days.
But in this area, machinist Vo Tech is picking up pretty good. A lot of kids are doing it again.
Meh. Not as much on the job training as there used to be either. It seems all job openings want experience and a lot of it.
This was not the case not that many years ago.
