Job is mine I just need to have ONE reference turn in their !$*@$## form!
They not answering the phone or responding back to my emails.
And my old boss told me she wouldn't do it since I left without notice.
Total !%$**!%% seeing as they were laying me off and barely helping me to find a job. Aaah!

Anyone in the south east looking for a job that has retail sales experience hit me up. I work for US Cellular and an agent location is giving me free reign as to who I can interview and allocate in various regions in the southeast. Not only that but if you're with the company for 90 days we both get a nice little bonus. PM if you're serious. Always looking out for NTers.

so. I had an interview with Sears today. in the beginning of the interview, the lady said that the starting pay is $7.25, and that was kind of a bummer. (if you look a couple pages back, you'll see my post about getting a job offer last week from another place that paid minimum wage, which I passed on) but then I thought, if I got a decent amount of hours per week I guess I wouldn't mind working for minimum wage. so then she asks me how many hours I'll like to work each week, and I tell her 30-35 hours. and she just shook her head and said that I wouldn't be getting any more than like 25 hours a week. so as soon as I heard that I made up my mind that I'm going to be passing on this job too, because 7.25 for only 25 hours a week isn't #%%!. so anyway, even tho I lost all my interest for the job, I didn't wanna be rude and just get up and walk out in the middle of the interview. I stayed and pretended that I was still interested in the job. so the interview is over and I was relieved, I just wanted to get the hell out of that place. I leave the store, walk out to the parking lot and then all of a sudden I hear someone scream out my name. I turn around and it was the lady that interviewed me. she said that they decided that they're gonna hire me on the spot and that she wants me to come back in so they can process me and what not. I was just like "oh... okay."
I go back in the store with her, she puts me on a computer to fill out some info. so while I'm on the computer, she goes into the next room and closes the door. I'm in the room all by myself and then the thought of just getting up and dippin popped in my head. and I was just like "naw, I'm not gonna do that. that's rude.". but then I thought about it some more, and then I was like "actually, that's not a bad idea." so I just clicked exit on the computer, got up and then straight power walked outta there. once I got outside I just jogged to my car to make sure no one would catch up to me again, hopped in my car and peeled the ++*+ out. they started blowing up my cell and I just hit the ignore button. I felt like such a rebel
. but then karma kinda bit me in the butt because 10 mins after I left Sears, I got pulled over because supposedly you're not allowed to make a left turn on this street from 7am-7pm on weekdays
.
but anyway, this was the second job I passed on in a week and I'm still unemployed. I know I probably shouldn't be passing on jobs like that, but I know if I keep looking I will find something that pays a little better. my goal is to have a job by the end of August so I can start saving up for a trip to Vegas in November or December and I'm still pretty confident that I'll accomplish that.
damn, I didn't realize that story was so long.

You should have taken the job so you could have a steady source of income and still have enough time to search for a job you really wanted. Hope, you get another interview soon.

dog... the lady came back tryna hire you. You should have spoken up and said... you're interested but you want a day to consider the offer because you have an interview with nordstorm and the start pay is xxxxxx. then ask her if they could have paid 9-10 an hour since you have experience and what not. what is your aim as far as pay? 7.25 is wack.

Are my chances still good if I had my interview 2 weeks ago? I followed up with the corporate recruiter at company last week and his response was "we are in process of getting the final approvals and should come back with an offer soon"
So now it's been a week since that reply? Should I still follow up or wait for another response from him?

I know. I prob should have went about that differently. and yea 7.25 is wack. the only way I would even consider working a job that paid 7.25 is if I was getting a lot of hours. honestly, I'm not looking for much. if I could even find a job that paid like 8.50 I would be happy

Are you talking about the EIT or PE license in October?
If it's the EIT, you can do both at the same time...it'll actually also help you a lot for interviews too. It's a good review of the basic engineering concepts, and it's actually not hard to pass as long as you study. Took and passed the EIT this April- I can say since I listed it on my resume I've gotten more calls than before.

dont trip i woulda done and same thing. if u feel like trolling... call sears back up and say u had to take a dookie.. or something came up and u had to run out. and just say by the time u came back nobody was there.
do you have a degree? if u dont u should consider buying one online. get a print out and just bring that to interviews. i would aim for bookkeeping jobs since they don't care much for degrees. just act like u know how to do some bookkeeping and say u have 1-2 experience (google some words so u can fool the person) and bam.. start pay for bookkeepers is like 10 and can go up to 15-20 an hour
