Looking for a job!

Post by Candy-coated Fake »

Help me out guys! I need to get out of my deadend, shitty job as a McDick's crew worker. Does anyone know a place where I could work? I only have experience at McDonald's, so that might limit my choices a bit...

Any help would be much appreciated.

If you're moving to Alabama anytime soon, I saw a "Now Hiring" sign at the local Arbys.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

I don't know... but I'm sure there are tons of jobs for people your age at the mall. :) Hey-- it's better than fast food, right?

if you have any call centres in your area those jobs are usually pretty sweet .. i work at an inbound centre for at&t wireless and just answer questions all day, customers call in to pay their bills etc .. most of those places pay well over minimun wage too.

I might apply at your place Joey... If I don't get a job at The Niagara Parks Commission I'll probably apply there. I just don't want to be stuck inside all summer.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

yeah it does suck being indoors all summer .. i'd prefer an outside job too .. but i'm kind of limited since i don't drive .. otherwise i'd more than likely be applying in niagara falls too :nod:

it's a decent job though .. i make just under $12 an hour and have paid benefits, 2 weeks of paid vacation a year .. you get a raise every 4-6 months depending on how many hours you work .. plus they offer unlimited OT so you can work a ridiculous amount of hours and really bring home huge amounts of cash

ya the only thing is I'd only stay there from may to Labour day... then I'd quit... so a lot of those things won't apply to me. Either way it's good money, but I think the Parks would just be a lot more fun. The job I applied for, I get to be an ambassador, meaning I get to talk to tour groups and stuff if they have any questions.

Whatever you do, DON'T work at Arby's. They are evil. Probably as evil as McDonald's.
Try a bookstore, that would be a fun job. Or maybe a CD shop or game shop or something cool like that.
don't look now, just keep watching the TV hating what's too see waiting for someone to say something that's right.

Just think, I'm trying to find a job for three months out here. Simultaneously, I'm trying to find a job back home for the summer. Yeah......hire interviews become difficult at 3200 miles.

sigh

I'm training a horse for the summer though!! not for pay.......owell.
