So I have to job a job... - Page 2

Looking at your folks' grammar, I fucking pray you finish high school. (Insert moronic tongue-poking emoticon here)

If this is your first job, do you really need a resume? Most entry-level jobs don't expect you to have one. I found that my favorite job as a teenager was a mindless, solitary one.

I worked nights during break at this armored car service - we would count all the cash that came in from the ATMSs and return the totals to the banks. It was blissful - I got to wear my pajamas to work and listen to headphones the entire time, and never speak to a single soul.

But if you get a job at McDonald's, I ask you kindly not to spit in my coffee or urinate on any cooking apparatus.

It's always nice to know you can count on the support of your parents...

And now a days it's not fucking easy to find a job...

My fellow belgian: don't drop out! The future is still bright enough

!!!

Cheers,

tips:
fastfood usually always hire.
Get an application and give family phone numbers for references.
wait.
work.

Its easy for me to find work because I prefer manual labor, being a grunt worker. Its decent money and the day goes by fast. Plus its good for exorcise.

You're right, I don't think I really need a resume. Most places just have a little form you fill out...
I want to work for an armored car service, if I could handle being around all that money

Hahah I'll work at a coffee place but not a fast food place, I'm not touching nasty meat. If I wanted to touch it I'd eat it...

Hahah thanks

Laila · 05.18.2006, 02:30 PM

yeah they basically hire anybody there. there are some people i remember from high school that were fucking idiots and i thought they would never be able to get a job cause i didn't think anyone in their right mind would hire them. so if they can get a job there is hope for us all.

golden child · 05.18.2006, 03:14 PM

i just had a job interview at subway, pretty sure i nailed it.
i submitted a resume for a job working at the school district as a computer tech.

hopefully ill work both during the summer

Disgruntled Youth · 05.18.2006, 03:18 PM

do a basic resume on msword they have templates which are already set up all you have to do is type over the old info. It's really simple, just click over it & type.

!@#$%! · 05.18.2006, 03:37 PM

no, go up there with a nice smile, a good handshake, and say "hi, im in highschool and im looking for a summer job". you're not applying for any position requiring qualifications, so your personal demeanor will count a lot more. to make a resume where you claim job experience as "infantile care technician" is kind of laughable. but making a list of your previous experiences, including volunteer work, is not bad at all. and on the subject of working at starfucks, sure it's nice cookies, they have great pay & benefits & college scholarships, etc, but it could be hectic and nerve-wracking for introverted, quiet types.

I don't have to get a job, but I really want to get a job. Aside from being constantly broke, I can't bear another summer sitting on my ass waiting for the day to end.
I'll probably go to the public library and see if they need any help. That's the only job in my town that really appeals to me. I couldn't stand working a fast food place.

Alex's Trip · 05.18.2006, 05:48 PM

I want to work at Barnes and Nobel, but I'm only 15. I don't need a job yet though...I think I might go out to be one of those people that wave the signs for model homes.
