Applying for a job is a full time job. Our current labor market provides vast opportunities for you to find meaningful work because there are two jobs for every one job seeker in Alaska and many people are finding work who have never worked before who experience significant barriers to employment. So employers need employees to be sure to apply to jobs that you can do and would earn enough to be self and family sustaining for you. If you meet the minimum requirements apply. Remember, preferred does not mean required.
