how i am get a fish packing job at Alaska?

Question

I need a Fish Packing job at Alaska anybody help me or guide me to get

Answer 1

As much as I disagree with the first answer's answer, they did get one thing right. The fish packing plants pretty much have the worst, most pathetic job you can imagine. It is the same thing over and over again and it can really cause medical issues like Carpel Tunnel Syndrome (sp?).

The State of Alaska has a Seafood job page at:

http://www.labor.state.ak.us/esd_alaska_jobs/

There is a section on seafood processing jobs that help let you know what to expect.

The page also lists various seafood related jobs in Alaska ans many of the seafood processors list job openings on there.

You could try and get hired in advance via this page and fly out there when you get a job or you could just fly to Alaska, walk into a seafood plant and hope they have an opening.

Like I tell everyone...make sure you have a way back home. Alaska is a very expensive place to live and good paying jobs are hard to come by. Chances are you will not make it there. Make sure you have someone to is willing to get you back home (like a parent) or have some money saved so you can buy a plane ticket back.

I wish you the best of luck!

Slime line jobs

Belly slitter: The slitter uses a fillet knife to cut a slit from the throat to the end of the abdomen and then sends the fish to the next station.

Head decapitator machine : Usually two people work this machine, but this depends upon the size of the plant and how many slime lines are going. Basically, fish are fed into this "guillotine," beheaded, and moved down the line.

Gut puller: Workers on the slime line, often positioned after the belly slitter, pull out guts and egg sacs as fish are passed to them. In many plants, a machine does this task.

Spooning : This is the process of cleaning out any leftover guts and removing the organs that run down the spine of the fish.

Washing: This is done manually with a small hose or by machine. The machine is sometimes like a dishwasher, showering fish with ice water as they come down the line. Usually, one or two people are in charge of running fish into the washer.

Fish grading: Graders are at the end of the slime line. These people separate the fish into three or four grades:

1=excellent
2=good
3=fair
4=mushy (not fit for human consumption).

After grading, individual fish are sorted into bins.

Weighing: Fish are slid quickly onto a scale and then sorted into bins according to their size.

Sorting: People in this position ensure that fish are placed into proper bins according to type of fish, size, grade, and weight.

Tray stacking : Often fish go directly from the scales at the end of the slime line onto trays that are stacked on rolling racks. Once the racks are loaded, they are wheeled to the walk-in freezer room.
Freezer crew jobs

Glaze line: Workers here break frozen fish from their trays and run them through a brine solution before packing.

Packing room : Frozen fish are packaged according to classification and readied for shipment. Workers move pallets, label boxes, and ensure proper loading of fish.

Answer 3

Why do you want such a pathetic job? Humans capturing fish and selling them for profit is the worst thing to do. Do you know that fish have feelings, and are sensitive, intelligent creatures.Infact we should treat fish the same as we do other animals, and not eat them. Other aquatic life forms such as crabs and seashells to have the right not to be eaten. No one would ever put a hook through a dog’s or cat’s mouth … Once people start to understand that fish are just as intelligent, they’ll stop eating them. The health hazards of eating fish, stating a “toxic brew—bacteria, contaminants, heavy metals” reach us through the food chain. Dangers include PCBs, dioxins, radioactive substances, and cadmium, mercury, lead, chromium, and arsenic, which can cause liver and kidney damage, nervous system disorders, fetal damage, cancer and impaired mental development. Seafood is also the number one cause of food poisoning as fish eat human and animal feces carrying dangerous bacteria like E. coli. Infact FISH ARE OUR FRIENDS AND NOT FOOD. So Please drop this horrendous idea from your mind and start saving fish.
