I got my first job at a career fair at college, so negative days after. Of course, I got fired from that job less than a year after I started it, so there's that. | ||

Due to extenuating circumstances its going to be at least 6 months for me. On that note only 3 days left until I'm back in hospital. Really not looking forward to this. | ||

It's the perfect plan except for the fact that I'd rather drill a nail into my brain than work with computers. I have faith that you would do a better job than the "workforce" temps I'm using now. You would atleast understand the words that I'm telling you and what to do. | ||

The easiest way I've found getting a job is having an in with someone. Doesn't matter how big or small, if someone know you and can put your name out there its much easier to shop.

Tell random embarassing anecdotes about groom, segue into heartfelt moments with groom, maneuver into nice story about couple and then tell everyone how much they mean to you and how awesome they've been in your life and how you're a better person from just knowing them for the tear jerk reaction and love. Basically the standard formula. | ||

Also first day at new job tomorrow /antihype I hate throwing up. I would rather just not use pain meds which is what ends up happening most of the time. Numy here's a store for you! http://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/3ew0ck/a_small_documentary/ | ||

I worked for a temp agency for 8 months. Some of the workers were just guys down on their luck but they were hard working and fairly intelligent. Others made a brick wall look like Albert Einstein. My one friend was out of work for 6 months after graduating, the other 1 year. Depends really. Granted, at that time the Recession was in full swing and basically no one could find work. In my area that's still the case for the most part, and it's all about timing. Took me 3 months and over 100 different applications, but finally found a fast food job due to timing the other day for gas money for school. x_x Everywhere you apply is 200+ applicants minimum, some a few thousand. | ||

Yea they're not all the devil. Obviously they pass some sort of computer literacy test because they all mention taking it. My issue is most of them don't like it when I show them what they need to do, and then don't continue to just do it for them. We probably need to look for a different temp agency but thats not my department. Also touchy office guy finally has his desk together and isn't touching my things any more. So I've got that going for me. | ||
