Careerlink

What's my problem with Pennsylvania Careerlink?

Simple: the jobs listed with Careerlink are awful, at least the ones on this side of the state. They're mostly dead-end, 'one-step-above-McJob' positions.

Let's see...within a 25 mile radius of my zip code, some of the jobs listed on the site include:

  • carpet cleaning technician
  • cater delivery driver (I think they mean caterer or catering)
  • portrait studio sales consultant
  • general office clerk
  • housekeeping aides

To be fair, there are a few jobs listed on the site that require an advanced level of knowledge, scuch as licensed practical nurse and chemist, but for the most part, the majority of the jobs lon Careerlink are pretty sad.
