get a job

[grittykitty]

How the hell does this happen for people? I am applying at pizza places even, and get no response.

pure luck? i've sent out tons of resumes and this is the first place that even bothered to contact me. from office jobs doing photoshop to a little supermarket clerk, i've applied to tons of places and this is the first one that gave me a green light. so, i took it. took me about 2 months to get this first callback too!

oh yeah, have you tried looking in the gigs section on craigslist too? i never knew, but that's all short term stuff. i thought it was for musicians exclusively because of the name, but there's all kinds of weird ways to make a few bucks in there.

so, semi-on the topic, i got a callback yesterday from a job i applied for on craigslist, did an interview this morning. 10 minutes later, the guy said i was hired! awesome!

it's an anime distribution company that also sells some u.s. comics and toys and stuff like that. i start early next week.

I suspect it's a combination of the bad hair plus shouting at them through a megaphone.

I don't have a megaphone, and it's not my fault the humidity is bonkers right now.

The way the economy is you'll be lucky just to find a job at all...

And just like that, it looks like I got a full time job again. Did an interview this morning and I guess they liked me. Pays more than any other job I've had. 40 hours a week again. 9-6.

congrats

I gotta find a summer job, though I'm thinking I'll do something for the university, since I've got...oh bloody hell, five years experience working at universities, coming up on five and a half...

Anyway, I had to turn down a job I got at Gamestop a year ago. I threw all the game experience I had onto my resume to get an interview, and once I did, I ran circles around the guy talking about games. Then again, he was also one of the rarest things I've ever seen at a Gamestop: a manager who ain't a douche. It's a shame I couldn't work there, but it was too far away and I just didn't have time, what with grad school.
