Jobless and Frustrated NTers check in VOL. WE NOT-WORKIN!!!

[chiva1908]

Almost 3 months working both jobs now... Been working anywhere between 45-65 hours between the two. Even though I don't really like my morning job at Vons, it's a steady weekly check, and I don't have to sell my stuff anymore.

Still keep an eye open for a position that I want/like but nothing...

I'm going to Vegas next weekend, I need a break.

Just got hired, and will start next week. 3 months of training and I'm off to Johor Malaysia. I've never done anything like this before so I'm kind of a bit concern about how I will settle oversea. It could be from 6 months to a year or so with housing and transportation paid. I guess I'll just stack up on some papers and see new landscapes, hopefully earn enough money for a house some day. That's the plan but who knows what will happen, just got to take it day by day.

As for me, was laid off almost two weeks ago. Got a call today and had an interview. Nailed it. Went so well, that I went ahead and had my 2nd and 3rd interviews an hour later. Start next week. I'm hype. Much better pay from my previous job and I'm this much closer to becoming a manager.

Go ahead and apply. Most hospitals have CPR/BLS training during Orientation, if not they'll usually pay for the day of training. Win win.

Small Business are great. I'm working in one I have a month in already and I'm making twice as much as I did working in retail and big businesses but not every place is like that.

 

[big j 33]

How are you guys prepping for interviews?

I'm using a online video software to record myself... I can't believe how ******ed I look and sound.

My eyes keep shifting like I'm on drugs... I'm talking too casual and not professional.

I'm trying to recall all of my old interviews and wonder how I even got the jobs then.

I'm the complete opposite. I work for Vons (a Safeway company) I need to go back to that computer and a desk setting...

 

[imasoleman18]

so tired of interviewing for places and them telling me they will call and they dont, all i ask is for a simply phone call

 

[bentrill]

^^^ yes that sucks. this past job i got, in the interview i told them straight out i can start right now and i did. got fired

got an interview coming up on tuesday. 

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Starting to feel like I'll never get a job....ever I have no clue why people don't seem to like me. Nothing worse than being told multiple times you're the "best candidate, had the best interview" but they decide to go with somebody else.

Dunno man...I just dunno.

I've had this happen to me multiple times too. The job market sucks.

I was going into teaching but became disenchanted with it. I'm looking into a new career, but have no clue and I feel like I'll never find something. I'm in my late 20s and need to get my career going but it's so difficult right now. I know I'll eventually go back to school, but for what.  Any advice? I'm in socal if that matters.

 

[mr marcus]

^ I was wondering where you were from because there are tons of teaching jobs here in NC and other places in the south...but I know so cal >

[bully bob]

i know this been brought up before but what's yall opinions on recruiters? appleone and accounttemps specifically?

@haveagreat12, hey if you're good with computers you should research the IT field. SonofTony posted some stuff about the A+ and Network+ certs (which are basic certs) those can land you an entry level position.
