Anyone hiring? I'm good with computers and cooking!

No seriously, is it just me or is it incredibly hard to get a job?

Zero, I'll work for you by maintaining the servers!-- Wait.. Damn.

Unemployment?

I've applied to like 100 jobs in the past 3 weeks. Everything except Mc. Donalds. Why? Because I can starve to death and achieve more than working there.

Besides, if they're always hiring then it might as well be the same as Walmart.. You'll be their bitch, and if you can't do the schedule, they'll just easily find someone else.

Tomorrow I'm calling to ask someone for a schedule, he was deciding between me and two other people and I told him that I took the liberty of learning what I could about the programs he uses.. So hopefully that'll influence his choice somewhat.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

in all honesty file for unemployment temporarily.

go to your local library and ask about there reference databases for example [DnB million dollar database] that is a database that lists millions of businesses all over the world, and you can search them by state and county.

they also have job databases, ask about that one and search for an appealing job.

[Rage]

My local radio shack is hiring... Also my bank branch is looking for a part time teller. Seems to be a couple open jobs floating around my parts.

[uuntiltheendd]

put in an application at abercrombie. they are always hiring.

[Jeimuzu]

u like cooking as in chef-cooking? or ur everyday mac and cheeze kind of cooking?:P just to know

Chef-cooking. My specialties are breakfast and grilling. Not much of a lunch person.

Salmon marinaded in lemon pepper and lemon juice.. Grilled to perfection.. Mmm..

Just found out recently orange juice is awesome for pork chops. Tenderizes it and adds a natural sweetness.

I got my last Social Security check, so at least I have money for food now.. And to go buy a suit so I can dress appropriately for when I become a professional Hitman because the economy sucks.

[uuntiltheendd]

[loka]

Since when can Mexicans afford Audi's?

[uuntiltheendd]

idk..

i said turtles was ghost riding his audi trying to impress some mexicans.

[loka]

You don't need to impress a Mexican to ghost ride an Audi. Just give them a job that pays 3.00 an hour and they are sold.

[uuntiltheendd]

lol yea thats why its funny because i can see turtles asian ass trying to look cool to some beaners.

[Jeimuzu]

Bought my first newspaper today.. Every job offering in there was a scam.. Unless it genuinely costs 65 dollars to get a catalog for federal/state part time jobs..

The library had no job database.. Basically they just told me I just go online and look for jobs.. Well what have I been doing every day for the past month? However I did read an interesting short story called Angles from the creator of Ender's Game..

Anyone got any more ideas?

[loka]

I can't help you because Florida smells.

If you're desperate, you're going to have to resort for those jobs that own your soul. If not... then it doesn't matter. Every job owns your soul. They own your time and your labor.

I had the same problem last year not getting a job for almost 6 months after I graduated from college. The job I got which was a 'professional' one, yet was physically taxing on me ending me up with a black eye. I left the job. Now I'm working temporarily until October at Best Buy watching the cameras and catching shoplifters, and the thing I enjoy the most? The diesel discount. The hot lesbian at my job getting drunk and giving me tips since she's in the Army too. I lived off money I had saved and my tax return for almost a year. If you don't need it. Don't bother.

I guess I can do without a job for awhile, but the money won't last forever.. I talked to a very strange man named Igor who is going to college to become a nurse.. And since I'm going to get my EMS degree, he suggested I go to all the local hospitals and tell them that, and that I would like to apply for a job there.. Maybe it'll work, even though I have no experience whatsoever.. Don't even have my CPR cert. yet..

And I would love to work at best buy.. Can I use you as a reference?..

[OnEyEdMaN]

Now I'm working temporarily until October at Best Buy watching the cameras and catching shoplifters,

what time do you go to work? if you do what you stated above, then i should not be going there on your time so i can do my job:muffy:




james, if none of what we said can help you or you wont take then your last resort is either start a small business or join the militarty. if you have been on the military in the past, maybe go back?. but remember filing unemployment wouldnt hurt and it helps big time at a time like this temporarily. good luck and keep positive thinking.


i just remember its august and USPS are hiring this month, its the only time where USPS starts giving test and all that

[maynard]

NO!!!

My family comes from military origins.. I'm simply not built for it though. I can endure and adapt, I just simply don't want to when it comes to the military. Much rather be in the medical field.

How am I suppose to file for unemployment when the only job I've ever had was one that I quit? If I got fired it might be a different story.. Or maybe I don't know how unemployment works?.. (No, I'm serious.. I don't..)

And what do you mean by "if none of what we said can help you or you wont take," specifically "you won't take?"

I really do appreciate the suggestions you guys are giving me.. I've tried all of them so far, apart from selling my gun and swords.... And my body..*cough* Need those for if I need to become a professional hitman.

[XX0wnsXY]

Lots of hospitals hire UAP (Unlicensed assistive personnel). Igor had good advice. Especially since you're going in that direction anyway..try what he said.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

i just got raped by unemployment, like i was always told growing up "nothing comes for free and if it does, they'll get it back some how"

Mystery Shoppers are a scam.. I swear.

I don't know how this UAP thing will work.. I tried emailing a couple people, but everything is fucking done online.. I can't talk to anyone in offices or anything.. Its just.. "These are the jobs we have, if you don't fit the bill then gtfo."

Maybe I should try to get an appointment or something..

[maynard]

why don't you get a job at a call center or something. they're generally hiring, and it's easy work and normally has benifits and decent pay.

[Jeimuzu]

Couldn't hurt.. Mind pointing me in the direction to contact a call center?..

Also, there's a lot of Admin Assistant jobs on Craigslist.. Along with hospital jobs that require licenses.. I'm gonna start applying to those.. I mean, I've been an admin here for awhile.. That's gotta count for something, right?

[alex_mamaroneck]

Anyone hiring? I'm good with computers and cooking!

No seriously, is it just me or is it incredibly hard to get a job?

Zero, I'll work for you by maintaining the servers!-- Wait.. Damn.


i know its hard to find a job. the real unemployment is 20% according to free markets. the government want us to believe its 9% and that their stimulus packages are working.
i've helped alot of my customers to look/apply for jobs and i've met some ending up finding a job out of this country. i've made resumes for customer that are more professional than their previous resumes and still can't find a job. i had one customer who tried to look for a job for one year str8 and found nothing. this recession will soon lead to a depression if the government continues to do the same thing.

here are my suggestions on finding a job:

1. go store to store and ask if they are accepting applications. don't even be picky on a position. at this time i've seen american teens doing day laboring and gardening jobs. if you are applying at a store, dress casual

2. craigslist.com is great site for job search. but read thoroughly on what position and what are the requirements. i've been fooled before

3. check the classified sections from the newspapers on sundays. classified section on weekdays don't have that much info on jobs.

4. if you are knowledgeble in math or science or what ever, you can be a tutor. make yourself an ad and post it on telephone poles or in supermarket. start at $12/hr then increase as you get better. don't be shy, embarrassed or discouraged when you post. u need money. i still posted my ads for my cafe and it has worked. two of my competitors went out of business do to lack in advertisement and bad customer service and they had invested 4 times more that what i had invested for my cafe.

5. (this is optional) type a good resume. alot of jobs would require a resume. best way to find a sample would be on google... make your own and rephrase from the sample


I hope this would not only help you but others who read this. if anyone still has a job but hates it, hold to it because this recession will soon become a depression. oh and uh do not sell your gold. i've seen documentary about zimbabwe losing their currency value and are literaly using gold as their money. US is heading towards the same direction. so you might wanna start digging for gold or buy jewerly at a good price..... seriously. in 2001 gold was $200 an ounce. today gold is close to $1500 an ounce and climbing...
so hold on to your job and save. GL

[hallwagner]

are you looking for a job?

yes, but i want to focus on getting my ged before that, and maybe even taking some college classes

[Jeimuzu]

Stores around here are all retail.. The only places I haven't applied to are restaurants.. Basically my point is, it does no good to walk around town and ask about jobs.. Everyone just says "Oh, go to this website."

I've been looking on craigslist every day for the past 3 weeks now.. That was actually where I got my Hazwoper job. Funny thing though, I made more in a week than my cousin made in 2 months. I shouldn't have quit but it was starting to kill me..

Classified sections from the newspapers on sundays? I bought my first newspaper the other day on Sunday morning for 1.50.. Everything in it was a scam, even the Federal/State jobs wanted me to pay them 65 to look at a catalog..

I can't be a tutor.. Unless it's for basic English or something..

[alex_mamaroneck]

aha restaurants... apply for that. any positions: waitress, barmaid or gogo dancer. lol. nah try to apply. they may start you as a busboy but you can work your way up.

hall you can work and get your GED at the same time. i got my diploma while working evenings and weekends...

best to leave CSS aside and start getting busy in life 00=================D ()=]

you should try and do the fedex thing if you have one near where you live. its ten dollars an hour where i am and you have to be there at four in the morning but its worth it if youre having financial problems.

I talked with my uncle and he gave me a few good ideas.. Like calling all the services offered around our area and just asking if they need part time help.. Applying at the UPS and Fedex and telling them that I'm going to college for an EMS degree.. Things like that.

College starts the 23rd.. Wheee.....

[Belphegor]

i'm with you man, i'm looking for a job as well here in Arizona, its a bitch cause there's little to no job market. i'm a freelance artist, though i did get a gig from a band just recently but thats not a stable job. I could use the help too and i recommend checking on Craigslist for jobs, i've had some luck there before.

[Jeimuzu]

Fedex and UPS weren't hiring, and didn't exactly let me drop in an application.. Unless I didn't find the right Fedex website?..

Tomrorow I'm gonna drop by the library and see if the newspaper has anything.. Monday college starts so hopefully some more jobs will open up on craigslist or something..

you living on campus?
apply to work at the front desk of dorm

otherwise, contact financial aid and explain your situation. ask them for any type of work-study program or job around campus they can give you. my one friend needed one of those, and the college put her to work in the library. 3/4 her pay went to pay for school, the rest went to her pocket.

colleges need tons of people. groundskeeping, janitorial crap, secretary/clerical work...if you need it, you can't be picky.

for example, i'm looking into applying to work in Drexel's call-center for fall term, evenings, and also the front desk of each residence hall. the residence hall job especially is incredible. because your job is to swipe people's ID cards as they enter, and generally keep an eye on things. you're sitting at a desk waiting for people to come in, and can basicaly study while waiting

I live in my own apartment, but college is just up the road. Starts tomorrow.. Maybe I'll drop by the financial aid place afterwards.. I went there once and dropped in an application and they said every position was filled.. I'm not picky.. I've applied to literally everything now.. Except Mc. Donalds, because they aren't hiring.

Need to figure out where some call centers are.. I have no idea how to find them still..

[Jeimuzu]

HAH.. I got a job offer as a PT manager at Bank of America.. I should probably stop using IBIS Gaming as my job in my resume.. <.< Senior Administrator ftw..

Anyone know anything about West Corp? They apparently have a call center 6 miles from me.. Might try to go for an interview there.

[maynard]

Need to figure out where some call centers are.. I have no idea how to find them still..

go to cell phone stores, ask if they have any call centers in the area.

[BladeTwinSwords]

There are a TON of jobs around me, mostly for Sales Reps and Legal Secretaries.

I got a part time job as a data entry engineer and a lab tech at LabCorp.

[Jeimuzu]

Did.. Verizon didn't know of any.

Edit: So I met two people at college.. Both have applied for hundreds of jobs with no luck, just like me.. Turns out most the people there are having the same problem.. Yay, I don't just suck!

[Jeimuzu]

So do we have any security guards in IBIS?

So I'll be spending most of my week talking to security agencies and seeing if I can put this thing to use. Let's hope school doesn't get overwhelming.. I can't exactly bring myself to study right now..

[loka]

Security blows.

[Jeimuzu]

Security blows.

Free training.. Part time opportunities.. Gives me a certificate that says "I'm qualified and have trained for this! I can work!" It's a win-win for me to take advantage of this opportunity.
