How old are you?
I usually send dick pics
On the subject of relocation:
Not only have I never lived on my own (and I commuted to college) but I would have to make probably twice what my last job paid (9.00/hr) to be able to afford a 1 bedroom apartment anywhere. Also, Iām not going to take on the challenge of moving and getting a new job at the same time.
For starters, have you tried going outside?
Before the internet, people used to just hand out jobs on the street!
You misunderstand. Yes living on your own is a big step. But if one is to come into adulthood and make something of themselves. You have to take that step at some point. I myself made that step only about 3 months ago. It was scary at first. All bills now fall on me. I donāt have my dad or mom paying my rent for me. if I fuck up Iām screwed. Gotta handle things like getting my license renewed myself etc. But now Iām better for it.
As for moving and getting a new job at the same time. Again I did it. I was working one job that paid 10.50 an hr in which I worked 12 hrs stacking pallets in a Freezer. Did that until I managed to land a job in my field in Clovis New Mexico. I had stacked every dime I was making at that frozen food storage company so that when the opportunity came I was ready. The job offered me 18 an hr which was more than enough to afford my own place. So my dad co signed on a car for me and helped with the down payment. I put in my two weeks notice. My mother came down from NY so she could drive with me.
Then when the day came to drive off. I packed my stuff, loaded up the car, and we drove 20 hrs from Atlanta GA to Clovis NM. Got into town, went straight to the nearest renting office. And I used a part of my savings to secure a place. Then I just took it from there. Using my savings to buy neccessities like cookware, cleaning supplies etc. Then I was just chillin until start day. Drove my Mom to Alberqurque international. Sent her on her way back to NY. Then came back to town and chilled until start day. Then I got to work, unfortunately I had run through my savings before my first car note was due. My bank account even got over draffted. But my dad had my back and covered me and with my first check I paid him right back. Started collecting checks and just paying my bills no problem and stacking money from then on.
Now Iāll be relocating again for a Job in Tucson Arizona, making a lil more money. So yeah I hear you when you say you arenāt making enough to survive on youāre own. Barely making above minimum wage isnāt gonna cut it youāre right. So for right now. Work that 9.00 an hr job, and stack your money while living rent free with your folks. And while working be looking for oportunities. hell contact your school. See if anyone could point you to some jobs or whateves. And when an opportunity does come and it pays enough for you to live on your own. Even if its out of state you will have money saved up so you can make that move.
If I can do it, you can do it to man. You just gotta want it bad enough and be willing to step out your comfort zone and take a risk.
Canāt lift 50 lbs?
Making me feel brolic
I never had an inside track on getting hired. It was always me killing it in an interview and my resume cinching it.
The probably applies to those in the know, but seriously start off with an entry level job in a place that will facilitate your eventual career.
If you are lucky when hired:
Please research the place on indeed and glassdoor
Make sure they are union
If you are lucky enough to get a government job like mail man, make sure to work your ass off and finish probation and join the union. Donāt be that one dude who half assed it because everyone else was.
They half ass it because they passed probation and were union
Putting ability to lift 20-50 lbs is a good way to weed out the anemic, lazy, those with a disability, health issues, or what we refer to as āproblematic peopleā and you will most likely never have to lift anything heavy, assuming that youāre applying for a job where you will be sitting in front of a computer all day.
Anyways, itās amazing to see people still take BeGuiled threads seriously, especially with that user name.
Suck someone off or Kill someone either option lead to an interesting path.
I thought this was a topic of how it was back in the day or something. Like the days where u can just smoke indoors and work at the same time old.
If u need money, u can always go work at any job for now while finding a job u really want at the same time.
As a product of the 80ās Iām well aware of how you applied. You mailed it in, preferably typed out on an envelope, most people used a typewriter, some would print their envelopes out on computers along with their resumes. You also could fax which was hella expensive. Dropping off your resume was an option but most big companies preferred mail/fax. You would call in like a week or so later depending on how far they were to confirm they received it.
Email is the reason why the postal service now charges you damn near fifty cents for stamps. Fuck snail mail.
Forgot to mention most if not all jobs were found threw newspapers back then. Especially the Sunday edition.
Iāll be 31 next month and nothing to me now a days is funnier than when some old baby-boomer piece of shit tells me "BACK IN MUH DAY, ILL YOU NEEDED TO GET A JOB WAS A FIRM HANDSHAKE AND A CAN-DO ATTITUDE ".
Nice, hope youāre fuckin prostate balloons up to the size of bowling ball ya goofy ol neckass.
Job searching is a struggle. Leave no stone un-turned. Despite online postings and company websites being used, it boils down to how serious the hiring company is about the job. Even after job interviews, I do not expect any letter, phone call or email about whether the job has been filled.
In regards to job interviews, always be prepared. I kept a collection of job applications I have completed over the years so that when I receive a 6-8 page application it is a very quick experience.
I gotta be honest; searching for a Job IS hard, that true, but a lot of people are just so fucking lazy. Like, they donāt try.
Finding a job is not hard. People hiring everywhere. All the time. Even when industry is down. Internet putting openings up at your fingertips.
Questions are:
-How badly do you need work?
-How badly/quickly does employer need the work?
-Are you qualified? (enough)
Then you just apply whereā¦ahemā¦applicable.

Does ābeing 30 years old and still not having a resumeā count as lazy?
I meet people for job opportunities. All jobs Iāve had except two were because I knew someone.
Praise be higher education!
almost a year ago when I feared that I might lose my job I remembered that several employees of mine were also working at UPS part time. So I checked them out, and I was experienced in almost everything except driving a fork lift. They got back to me the next day to see if I was still interested. Starting pay was like 15 an hour. Luckily I didnāt lose my current job so I ignored their reply. But didnāt seem that hard. Now trying to get something with IT or my degree in computer science I gave up on years ago. I didnāt get an internship at college unlike several of my classmates. They all got jobs right out of college and I couldnāt qualify for āentry levelā positions that required 5 years work experience. Ever since I always tell my cousins and co-workers in high school and college to always get that internship. Get that foot in the door. Especially with how much debt students are coming out of college these days.
So basically either suck up and try to get an internship/volunteer work to get that foot in the door and deal with no pay for several months. Or settle for something else in the mean time. There is no harm in working retail or in the food industry, just treat it seriously because your livelihood and your co-workers livelihood is at stake. And obvoiusly dress for the job you want, not the job you currently have.
Cold calling.
