Working World

ekulu by ekulu · Jan 21, 2003 · 195 views · Journal

I'm having a hard time finding a Job, and not just because i'm barely looking. Every job wants me to have some kind of certification or something, which I just don't have. I need to organize my efforts, bla bla bla, go out more and look harder...it's a pain tho.

in other words your LAZY

ekulu #1.1 ekuluOG 2002

i would say conserving energy. but what would count as lazy anyway?

forrestina #2 forrestinaOG 2002

as someone who was a professional job hopper for quite some time--i recommend just taking jobs that you don't want and trying them out. get things on your resume and go from there. i ended up at a job i really like with potential for growth within the company. =)

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002

thatdarngirl #6 thatdarngirlOG 2002

I need a job especially since my mom is trying to scare me and tell me that soon gas will be like 10 million dollars and if I don't want to ride my bike everywhere I better get a job.

delliott101 #6.1 delliott101OG 2002

No longer at the coffee place, I guess?

ok4now #6.1.1 ok4nowOG 2002

yeah...whatupwithat?

thatdarngirl #6.1.2 thatdarngirlOG 2002

hunkpapap #7 hunkpapapOG 2003

go to a temp agency bro. You giv them your resume. it's their job to find you work...

ekulu #7.1 ekuluOG 2002

hmmm, sounds tasty. i still havne gone, and a million poeple have told me to go there. it's so simple.

ok4now #7.1.1 ok4nowOG 2002

what happened to the radio station gig?

ekulu #7.1.1.1 ekuluOG 2002

it interfered with A LOT of other vway more important things

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

i figured it would...oh well.

delliott101 #7.2 delliott101OG 2002

Amen to that, I was going to write that one too... I've found several jobs temping and if the company you're at likes you, odds are they will hire you outright!

ok4now #7.2.1 ok4nowOG 2002

or you get dumped when the original worker returns to work...i know two people who had to leave after a few months (then again...at least they worked for a few months)

forrestina #7.3 forrestinaOG 2002

definitely i was temping at Washington Mutual and 3 different departments there offered me a job-unfortunately the company was moving and at the time i didn't have a car so i had to turn them down. just remember that perseverence and hard work pays off! companies love to hire from temp agencies because they find good workers through them.
