Random thread: Where's your postcount now, (tpd) bitch

[Aaron]

I'm off the next 4 days so while I will have friends up here. I will be looking around and sending out my app to as many places as I can. I will also be using up all my personal time. That shit doesn't get cashed out.

[r00]

Nope. Nor the other place I had an interview with. Even though I was told I would hear back from them this week, one way or another if I got it or not... Nothing yet. Aka I didn't get it and dude was wrong about them letting every one know...

Call them back and check in on it.  I have acquired a job before simply because I was the first candidate to call back and check.  People are lazy.  Use it to your advantage.  ;-)

Yes I was going to recommend you call too. Even if they offered the position to someone else if it doesn't work out it's good to have reminded them that you are still interested.

[Aaron]

Called, got told I didn't get it. Also the person I talked to seemed annoyed/little mad that I called.. 

Now its time to app to more places.... Only issue I haven't found much warehouse jobs that I qualify for. Like they either want lots of experience or forklift certification or wouldn't pay much more then what I make now... Grrrr.  Also seasonal or part time... Neither do I want.

[TPD]

Shit. Sorry you didn't get it, man.

[Aaron]

Eh, shit happens. Looking for new jobs now on my roommates pc. AKA typing on a real keyboard, it's so different from using my phone. The newest issue I'm having is that jobs that were posted yesterday are already filled/closed. OR one of them has "DO NOT APPLY FOR THE JOB IF THEY PAY RATE DOESN'T MEET YOUR STANDARDS" pay rate isn't fucking listed, at all...

When I called up company the lady sounded rushed (and kinda pissed maybe not really at me. BUT who knows.) Either way all the jobs are back open, so I'm gona apply again. And since I know how much I will be making (right off the bat way more then now, and then after 90 days even more... Like I will be able to afford to live on my own. However two different coworkers have asked about roommate... So maybe I could get a place with one of them.  ANYHOO the lady basicly just said that the applicants that got the job would have been called. SO I'm putting in my application again. Cuz well fuck it... Why not? (AKA I really haven't found anything that is closeish and better pay or not seasonal. Like I could work at  a beer warehouse but it's seasonal... Which sucks. WAY better pay, but then being out of a job in 4 months isn't my idea of a good time...


Also got a show to go to today. WOOO.

Icp!



























:p

sorry to hear about amazon, aaron.  8(

[Aaron]

Thanks.

I called the other place again, I talked to the HR person and she said I didn't get it due to lack of experience in the warehouse picking line of work... She did say they had another job open however the pay isn't that much better then what I make now. Better but not by much. .30 cents an hour if I work a 40 hour week at both jobs 12 bucks. So not worth it... BUT she did tell me to keep checking their site back.

And as butt hurt as I am about them not hiring me. I have been putting in more applications. Cuz I want fucking out of retail... And I want more money...

[r00]

It's a big city.  I am sure you will find something if you keep looking.  I don't blame you for wanting out of retail.

[Aaron]

Thanks r00 I am still looking. Just hope I find something soon enough that I can afford to move out and not have to deal with all the cat piss smell... Granted since I won't be taking any pets I should be able to find something and hopefully cheaper to... I may not get a studio but live with one of my coworkers that I like...

[Aaron]

I think I will try Costco again... It's still retail. BUT I don't think it would be as bad as wm... And I'm sure they pay better then wm...

[Naylzie]

I've read the numbers.  Costco definitely pays better and has statistically higher employee satisfaction than wm.  Totally worth looking into, even if it is just to get out of wm.  Not all retail is created equal.  My fiance and several friends have also spoken very highly of Best Buy as employees, so that might be worth it if you're willing to stay in retail until something better comes along.

[Aaron]

It's not that I hate retail.... Well I kinda do. But it's the only real job I have ever had. I've been at wm for seven years. I need some change... And really I just want to get a bigger pay check. And Costco can't be that bad... And I will have to look into best buy to see how close they are to me...

[r00]

Aaron, how do those fish throwing jobs pay down at the wharf?  That looks like a fun ass job!
