Reply:Most welders I know are "Thick Skulled", some are "thick bellied", but can't think of any who are just plain ole "thick welders"---------maybe the person who wrote the advert has a lisp and spells phonetically???6 Miller Big Blue 600 Air Paks2 Miller 400D6 Lincoln LN-25's4 Miller Xtreme 12VS2 Miller Dimension 812 4 Climax BW-3000Z bore welders Hypertherm 65 and 85Bug-O Track BugPair of Welpers

Reply:This is why the HR department sucks.  Guy calls up the head office and says something like "stick welders", the HR department thinks, he couldn't have said 'stick', he must have said 'thick' and out goes the request.Now, they will get people calling, presumably with resumes.  Problem is, not one of the resume will say 2 years of 'thick' welding.  So they all will be rejected.  Don't pass Go, Don't collect $200, straight to the trash can.Now the guy down at the shop will wonder why no one has applied for the job.  He will call HR, ask them what is up, and they will say they got lots of resumes, but none that meet the minimum.I sometimes think 'middle management' is where they put people that literally cannot do anything else.Con Fuse!Miller Dynasty 350Millermatic 350P-Spoolmatic 30AMiller Multimatic 200Hypertherm PowerMax 1000G3Miller Maxstar 200DX
Reply:So funny it should be you ExpatWelder who first commented on this.  I mean, seriously Expat, I know you have ambitions to be a 'Thick Welder' but those Mickey Mouse Tonka Toys of yours would halldy qualify... As to, "maybe the person who wrote the advert has a lisp and spells phonetically?"Stay tuned... maybe there will be a follow on advert for "Thin Welders".Walker, this is no time to hold back... name Names!

Reply:Originally Posted by Rick VWow... that could be the answer!I thought it was likely posted by a secretary whose boss had said they need welders for 'thick' material, so out went the advert for 'Thick Welders'.It never crossed my mind that it was supposed to say, "Stick", not "Thick". Jeez... given that thought process... maybe I should apply?
Reply:heck, I've got to turn sideways to get through my bathroom door. I might just be over-qualified as a mater of fact
Reply:I sent those folks an email this morning...Now we can wait with anticipation... to see what the corrected advert will say.  Rick V 1 Airco Heliwelder 3A/DDR3 CTC 70/90 amp Stick/Tig Inverters in Parallel1 Lincoln MIG PAK 151 Oxy-Acet

Reply:48 hours after my email... the advert remains unchanged!These folks are... 'Thick Posters'! Acts just like a large HR Department = S l o w . . . In the meantime, I encourage you to act now, "if you or your buddy knows any qualified 'Thick Welders', better let them know that Opportunity Knocks!"

Reply:It's probably a staffing company and they have no clue what the final employer is looking for either. They just got a note that said "thick" and went with it..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear.

Reply:Here it is... 6 days later and the advert remains unchanged.I guess these folks really do need "Thick Welders"... perhaps to match their own mentality?ExpatWelder suggested, "maybe the person who wrote the advert has a lisp and spells phonetically?"I'm heard the Elmer Fudd, R --> W, as in, "You Wascally Wabbit" but S --> T ?Torry teems that tomehow I got tnared up in this tilly advert.
