[spidermanlovesmj]

k hey guys
alright, so ive been trying to find a job for months now
nobody ever calls back
people i know give out one or two CVs and they get one or even BOTH of the job offers.
ive given out more than 20 in the past month or two and i havent gotten one call
what the fucks going on man
this is ridiculous
nobodys hiring anymore or something
any ideas or suggestions???

After you drop off an app. give it about a week if they haven't called you back...CALL THEM! You have to remember places get all kinds of applications and if you don't make yourself known and stand out you'll likely just get lost and forgotten in the middle of the pile.

I go in in person to talk to the person hiring and talk with them, you're much more likely to get hired if you show up in person and let him know you're in the pile.

this is true. its the only way i have ever gotten a job...i sent out like 15 apps one summer and no one called back..... the next summer i took initiative or w/e and called them back myself and then finally got a job. a horrible one, albiet but it was a job.

Make sure you have a good resume...go and ask to speak to the manager at each store and then go back in a week, ask to speak to the manager again and just ask "I was just wondering if you had any work for me yet?" If they say no, just thank them for their time and head on home. It shows initiative, a desire to work...that's how I got my job at least. He said he wouldn't have anything for a month to five weeks, I went and asked again a week later and I had a job within a week.

yeah sometimes persistence is the key
plus a nice looking resume

[Weedguru~N0isenkiss3s]

Yeah, it doesn't even need to be a well stocked resume, just looks nice, nicely worded ahaha my mom helps me with my resume..it used to be her job. She uses fancy words >>

Job availability here depends on where you are. Ontario has fuck all in the way of jobs (in Toronto it's either university students that get all the jobs, or (ilegal?) immigrants who are willing to work in shit conditions for next to nothing), the maritimes are decent but still kind of crap, and out west you get paid like $11 per hour at fuckin McDonalds (obscene, here its $8!) and there are like 29073458746787389478946589648974 jobs per person

alright guys
today my job hunt will include:
1) pet store (hiring sign)
2) pizza place
3) hardware store (still hiring)
4) video store (aghh everyone who works there is way older than me lol)
5) ...hm... where else... i'll look for a restaurant on the way

[spidermanlovesmj]

k yo
i went to the restaurants today, aswell as petshop and video store.
my question is, both the restaurants seemed like they are hiring right now
and both made it clear that theyll likely hire me too, with their words
my question is, what advice could you give a noob busboy (if i become one)?
what do i gotta learn right away, or is there anything you can help me out with?
any advice? tips?
thanksssss
peaceeeeee

Being a busboy sucks.

Busing is easy if you stay on top of it. They leave, you clean, don't leave it because soon it'll build up on you. Also, pay attention to what others do, it'll help you a lot

[Ikku]

You'll start to get bitter about the customers, you'll loathe anyone who brings children in, you'll hate huge parties of people coming in, it just gets frustrating whenever there's a big mess to be taken care of.

I never minded to be honest, mainly because I spent most of my time flirting with the girl on the host stand
