Can't get a job -.-

hackedx · 07-17-2008, 02:45 AM

Okay so first of all let me say that i have no work experience and no one wants to hire me so yeah... i can't really gain any experience.

I applied to 3 different gamestops, starbucks, macy, wegmans(a food chain like shoprite but better), and a few more places. I have a High School diploma and i'm starting college this fall. I speak 3 languages(and 2 computer languages), i have great communication skills and i'm a people person. Can anyone please tell me what the hell am i doing wrong?

Do you have a resume? You can point out that you speak 3 languages and you're pretty much good to go, especially in customer service.

These are not really places that ask for a resume, more like fill out this application and we will call you up for an interview.

A follow up phone call usually helps too. Lets them know you're actually interested in the job instead of some random guy applying to all the jobs he can.

Of course i'm interested or why else would i fill out an application =(

Sometimes they don't even call me for an interview, nothing.

A lot of teen are having trouble finding jobs. Most are being taken by adults who lost their jobs. Just keep trying I'm sure you'll find one.

This is just a bad year for jobs. Especially if you don't have boobs.

even after you hand in a Resume/Application the next day give them a call make sure they got it ask the about thew positions etc... so them your intrested... also keep handing in resume every couple of days persistence pays off.

Get some breast implants and charge friends and strangers to touch them?

Yes, I know you are a guy but I am suggesting it anyways because it is a pretty solid way to get some cash.

In terms of getting a job somewhere...high school diplomas mean squat anymore. You may as well wipe your ass with it since no one really cares who does the hiring. You need a degree for sure. In a pinch you could try checking job sites and the local unemployment/employment services office for leads on jobs.

True but if you compare a High School kid against a graduate, college boy wouldn't that make a difference =<?
