well her boss knew that i was a business administration major and design and merchandising minor and thought that I would fit well with the company.
Does anyone else feel that things are handed to them alot?

I'm usually suppose to be doing "work" on the computer, but I like to procrastinate.
I play when it's dark out.

I got my first job at 19 while on probation - turns out the person who interviewed me was a person I had done business with before, and they pretty much walkedme through the interview to the position.
I got my internship at this big law firm over a handful of other people - turns out the person who interviewed me shares my first name as their middle name andhad been called it when they were growing up. Besides that, I had no history or signs of potential except for my previous (first and only) job lasting for afew years and my GPA.
My mom got married recently and moved in with her husband - so I live in a 4br house by myself for free. I keep it clean and all that, though.
Those are the only things that have really worked to my advantage that came easily. Besides that, I've had to work for everything.

My work experience these past 9 years has been through hard work, some luck and being in the right place at the right time. But I had to work hard as hell toget where I am now also.
I'll try and keep this short. I work in the IT & computer networking industry for the government.
Honestly I went to a vocational & trades school to learn computer networking and how to fix pc's, this was back in 99-2000. I suffered from 2000 to2007 doing crap work in the IT industry known as Help Desk support. Doing work answering calls to troubleshoot and fix problems over the phone. I also diddesktop support where you fix user problems in person at their actual desk in a work environment. But the point I'm getting at as much I hated those jobsand the employers were HORRIBLE. What I got out of it was valuable work experience to put something on my resume and a DOD Government clearance level whichgoes a long way. Honestly right now I'm working in Germany for another government contract and I'm getting paid very well and it's tax free for mewhile I get a lot of the active duty member benefits also while I get to see Germany and a bunch of Euro countries.
I know for a fact that when I do go back to the US I can easily land a job that will pay me six figures.

I would think you would get hazard pay from the gas fumes and all. SMH for not getting hazard pay. You straight sniffing fumes for 8 hours. Might as well smokea pack a day.

The booth's have oxygen pumped in them and fans on the outside. Most fumes don't make it in.

No ducktales I'm really gettin the job and this isn't the first time this has happened to me. The same thing happens when I got the job at ralphlauren. But I believe it is all because of my faith in god and his plan!
