You've got to be ruthless, and take thousands of NO's on a regular basis while keeping your focus with those kiosk jobs

it is, but the market is getting over saturated, I came in at the end of the game and the stories I use to hear from yrs back was crazy how much bread ppl were making. I will say Working Wireless is the big leagues of retail, much more respectable and you make real money. I was going to transfer but the only openings for my company were Mall Kiosk, so I was like let me just test my degree out and leave but I left on good terms, so if I need to re apply I would be held with priority when it comes to interviewing. I will say the plus about working for VZW is they pay salary Plus Commission, but they only hire full time from what I see and they want people who really want to be sales people and not just someone who wants a job if that makes sense. ATT and Tmobile are prob best to work for if you want to do schooling and such, because Part Time reps can make more then their managers if you are good at what you do and are at a good location.Originally Posted by ricky409

I think ive settled on doing the truck driving thing.
I have to stay with 1 company for a year, or they wont pay the 5K for the CDL training. (Ill just owe)
I know someone that went through the same company im going through and he quit after the first week. (after he got his CDL and started company training). He went to a company that started off at 48K a year and was Local and hired drivers with no experience, but with a CDL, AND he would be home everyday, while the other company would only be home 1 day for every week you are gone.
Hopefully i have the same luck and can find a job that pays that much more and is local.........Or i might have to accept an over the road job until January. (because my license wasnt reinstated until 2007, i have to wait till 2012 to get most jobs because you cant have a suspension within 5 years and work for them)

went over and talked to the HR lady attached to a job with my company I recently applied for...
me: Hey, Ms. SoNSso, I was just stopping by again and wondering could you share with me any information on that Coordinator position I applied for
Her: Ohh, they gave that to SoNSo. Yeah that was already for her. She works with that already.
me: Ohh. I see. Yeah so most of the positions really already be designated for people right?
Her: No not really, well I dont know but this one was. But they have a specialist position that their putting up in a couple days. You should look out for it.
me:@#$%# Im over @#$% qualified for that and its gonna be the same #$%#$ Ohh ok, will do.
Countdown to unemployment continues

I've been following this thread for a while....
Def. been applying like crazy to a bunch of jobs.....except retail just can't do it, again.
Some of you guys/gals should look into Peace Corps or Americorps. The pay sounds fair and some of the benefits would be nice, i.e. the pay for school loans.
Tip: For those of you not hearing anything--revamp your resume, attach a cover letter, and make sure your references are singing your praises.
Another Tip: If you have a BS then def. look into teaching/tutor mad money to be made (independently or at institutions).
-Best of Luck-

Military Reserves! I've got a job, but I want more. The military hooks it up, and can either put you through school, help pay your loans back, and gives you career specific training. This isn't even active duty. We're talking roughly 38 days a year.

You know whats crushing...getting multiple
"We appreciate your interest in the position and the time that you spent on our behalf. While we were impressed with your background and experience, we have identified other candidates whose qualifications more closely match the position requirements."
on the same day. I got 3 rejection emails 2day... from jobs i applied for over a month ago, last week and this past Tuesday.
Guess thats better than not hearing nothing at all but most of the time im applying to like 5 different positions with each company.

Well, I'm not jobless but I have been pigeonholed since I came to this company. Today marks a big day because I have an interview doing claims at this job. This is one of the prime positions here at my company so I hope I get it.

Just got a job being an Account Executive (mostly media sales) with Clear Channel in NY. I'll be selling for Z100.3 and Power 105.1. Wish me luck. I'll continue to do the same for ya'll. I'll let everyone know of potential openings for work throughout the city.
