I took the Civil service exam a year or so ago and withdrew my name a couple times due to work as a Union bricklayer was doing great. Due to the struggling economy and lack of commercial construction throughout the Boston area, I'm considering a change of career. being laid off for 5 months, working for 5 weeks, layed off for another week and now on a small job at Northeastern for a week, is killing me. Normally, I go back to work in March and go through until Dec or Jan.
MCI Norfolk sent me a postcard asking if I'm still interested in a position in Corrections. Ever since my discharge from service in 1998, I've always wanted a job in either law enforcement or civil service in general.
My question(s) to you all is, should I pursue it?
Would it be beneficial in the long run?
What is the starting pay? and is there overtime? I'm always put on hold when trying to call so I can never get any answers.
I can still keep my Union book open if I dont feel it's up to par. I'm vested so no matter what, I'll still get a retirement from them
I think you all see the point I'm trying to get at. Any info would be great.
thanks, Matt
