phil Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 ok minus the career people, that i get... but for the rest of the people who claim they cant find a job i dont get it. i have a job, i like the company, but i want somthing that doesnt include sales at all. i am less than 6 months from graduating but i still want a decent job seeing as im not going to find a job right out of school. i have 4 interviews this week and i started looking sunday night. 2 are for major companies, and the other 2 are smaller companies that have some good stuff going on. but i just dont get how some of you on here have no jobs or had no jobs and say you cant find a job, the economics are so bad, blah blah blah. please help me understand. im no better than anyone here and im having 0 issues. ive put out maybe 20 apps, and have heard back from around 15 of the places. one place i want to hear from is cintas. i would love to dive in there for a while until i graduate. idk why i want to do a lil hard work, just feel like it would be a good fit for now. some of you either need to get off your high horse thinking a job isnt good enough for you while your bills fall to the wayside and take one of these jobs.

evan9381 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 while i agree to a point, some people have a set amount of bills they have to pay, and taking X job isn't worth it... if i become unemployed at the end of this month (which may happen), id get $375/wk from unemployment if i wait til after 10/3 to file. thats $1500/mo pretax. my monthly bills i HAVE to cover (without extra spending money) is about $1100... if i took a shitty job making $9/hr, id make less working than i would on unemployment...unless i find something making what i am now, it wouldnt benefit me to take a $12/hr job making ~$480/wk...thats an extra $100, and i'd rather give that up and spend 40 hours/wk looking for a job that a) i want and b) pays me what i want its a shitty thing to think of, but ive been paying into the system for 11 years...if i have to take back out of it, im going to use it until i find exactly what i want...if god forbid i get to the point where i can no longer get it, then i'll consider a shittier job.

SO honestly why leave if you felt so "set" cause i dont wanna do sales. point blank. i can stay there, but with my T.A coming up i need somthing consistent. and i dont act like im better than anyone there big guy. its just annoying to see people complain about not having a job and sit on here and post non stop when they could be using there time better. or going to the bars when they have no money. i understand its rough, but get off your ass and do somthing about it. its so much easier to feel bad for yourself than it is to get on the grind. i dont have it hard, and i never said i did, i just couldnt see why people bitch about there not being jobs out there when all you have to do is market yourself correctly and not be a total dumbass.

I did eveything possible but i wasnt settling for a job that i wouldnt get anything from...i waited and now look..you wanna work where i do becuase of my flexible sched and decent pay.

evan9381 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 doing collections, i try to explain to people all day long, if you're unemployed (which most arent, theyre just idiots who dont pay their bills), your full time job is looking for a job...if i cant reach you until after 6pm because you're out all day looking for a job, ill probably help you out a good bit more than i will someone who i am able to get ahold of on a home phone number at noon every time i call.

87GT Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Your resume gets you an interview. The interview gets you a job. You have to stand out in both. If you can't do that you have no chance at getting a job. OR you can just know the right person in the company and skip all this BS. Brown nosing goes a long way to some people.

gillbot Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 It's not that finding a job is difficult, it's finding one that fits. Whether it be pay or your skill set, something may not fit what you need but overall there are plenty of jobs out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
