how do you get a job?

[mylittlecivic]

I've tried and tried and tried. What is your advice?

[thermal]

How old are you? Most people start on retail just to get the experience....retail suks tho...

[mylittlecivic]

I'm 18 noone wants me because i dont have experience with much

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

What kind of job are you looking for? Something local?

[mylittlecivic]

i was but i hate this town to hell plus its the worse place for employment right now

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

Have you thought about making a resume and using those online job application things? I have friends that have used them and gotten interviews...

Are you thinking about moving?

[mylittlecivic]

yeah i am thinking about moving up in washington but i dunno

[ebpda9]

what kind of job are u considering. there is always fast food or retail if you are intersted but i do no reccomend them

[mylittlecivic]

ive tried all those, there was two aluminum plants shut down here recently so most jobs have been consumed i think i might commute a little

[silver]

u could work at a hotel as a front desk person with no experience...just have to have the right attitude and put up with lots of crap

[armyguy5]

i suggest popular retail stores in your area...if not try snagajob.com or monster.com to see what places are hiring

i haven't had an interview in a while the army doens't require one..theres an option lol....but my new one is from a friend working for campus dining...it sucks but its a job..so talk to your friends

I have a job for you. The description is somewhat similar to armyguy5's signature. Expect more though ;) :D

Also yeah, do the online thing, that's how I got my job.

MYLITTLECIVIC.. get a job in Pizza delivery. It is the best job you will ever have. You get $.75 per delivery, regular minimum wage, as well as an average of $2.00 tip per delivery. You just drive around and listen to music. I could make $300 easy between a friday and saturday night.

[ebpda9]

or valet parking. an easy 330 on a saturday night ;)

[pbateson]

Anna, you can go to Seattle or Everett, WA for job. Maybe work in McD or Buger King or Jack in the Box.

It depeneded on your wage.

[ChrisCantSkate]

dress nice when you pick up the application, say what they wana hear, and seem overly nice and hard working... at least to et the job. break em down once your hired

[GT40FIED]

I think a big part of it is persistence. When I went in to interview for my job (all of 5 1/2 years go), I called literally every other day for like a month until I got my second interview. My boss flat out told me that there were better applicants w/ more experience but I was the one who seemed to be dedicated and want it the most.

And Juve...I don't think you could afford her for those types of services. Lol

[mylittlecivic]

pizza delivery sounds like fun but the guy here was a total ass I do dress nice and everything but my main problems are that im really shy and im not as persistant as i need to be

[blind34_1]

I'd try all the other pizza places around your area. I do pizza delivery too, and its fantastic for part time or full. Most places always need new drivers (at least around here). I make 6.75/hr, $1 each delivery for gas, and can walk home with $60 to $70 a night (on a good night). You don't even need to know your city that well, just need to have a reliable car, and you need to have a clean driving record (for most places).

Another kickass job is working at a movie theater. Takes about no skill (at least at first) and you need no experience. If you work there long enough and seem like a good employee, you'll move through the ranks, and eventually up to the film booth, which is the best job ever. I'm fact, I highly recommend you go to your area theater TOMORROW and apply. Call back 1 week later and ask about the status of your application. go from there.

Just dress nice (I always wear a shirt and tie anytime I'm getting an application; lucky for me, becuase I got an interview on the spot), fill out your application as well as you can. Even if you've had no experience, you must've done something (mowing lawns, summer gigs, etc.)

You'll find something
