Why can't everyone be a state worker?

Some honest to goodness state job classifications that we might not need to fund:

(must also have knowlege of "current styles")

SIGN TECHNICIAN 3 - #4132
The SIGN TECHNICIAN 3 facilitates orderly work flow through the sign shop by providing technical expertise to others and by planning, assigning, and reviewing the work of other technicians in specialized areas of sign manufacture.
(Not to be confused with Sign Technician 2 or 1)

I appreciate you posting these job listings. The last time you did, I applied for one and actually got an interview. I am still waiting for the final cut.

I have a friend that is also searching for new employment so I will forward these on to him.

Thanks again!

I think a camera stripping plate maker works in the state print shop, probably taking a laser-printer-produced page and essentially "shooting" a photo of the page to make a printing plate.

Thank you Ken, I guess the follow up question is: Is this something that the state could outsource to a private business or do we need a PERS recipient doing the job?
