I've applied at 13 different places for a job. I wont list them. It's mostly retail. However, I haven't gotten a call back from anyone. :( not from one! *sighs* I've also called a few that I was more interested in ... and they have no positions open..
 
I applied online and walk-in. Certain places required a resume' (verizon wireless, hollywood video)

Black Slacks and a polo.

I've had 3 jobs.

Courtesy Clerk at Albertsons (quit because of low-pay /5.55) 1 year
Floor Staff ant Century Theaters (quit because of low-pay /6.50) 3 months
Cashier/Customer Service Desk/Cart Attendent at Target (Involuntarily terminated under 90 days for not wearing a safety vest) 2 months

Besides getting fired nothing is wrong. My "legal record" has not a speck on it. I've never been arrested.

Did you mention that you've been a DVXuser since July 2005?

It can't hurt.


Hang in there. The right job usually finds you.
 
Are you serious about that? It's probably a good Idea.
"User of the DVX community bulletin board since july of 2005, contact jarred land for more information"
 
really? thats litterally every place within 8 miles of me! except banks and fast food. I have no car (which is why I need a job)
 
McDonalds is always taking applications. :thumbup:
Do that until you do find a job. Keeps the cash flow. When you get a job, quit your job at MickeyDs.
 
Be persistent. Show your interested and ambitious.

Once you fill out an application, call them and follow-up in a week or so.

Retail places should be hiring now for the holiday season. I know for a fact Best Buy is hiring for the holidays.

Good luck.
 
wow you got fired for not wearing the safety vest? I worked at target for about 9 months..mostly sales floor, but I got carts once in awhile and sometimes didnt wear the vest. They didnt do anything to me. Did you continually refuse or something?
 
Well, no one would believe me if I told them. I was never told to use the vest whilst getting carts for the entire first month of working there, at the end of the month we were visited by corporate and warned to wear our vest. I started wearing it all the time afterward, infact when I was terminated I was wearing it! They had stated that a week before the date in which I was fired I was seen not wearing the vest by a manager. They then claimed that she told me twice to wear it when she came outside to "check on me" and I told her I would but never did.


Strangely... I don't ever remember seeing her outside once during the time I worked there! Nor do I remember her telling me to wear it.
 
I've been working at Target for a little over 3 months now (started in flow and now work in backroom). Their pretty lax around here. I'm surprised they fired you just like that.

I think everyone is hiring now in prep for the holiday season. My managers are begging their employees to bring people in for interviews.

How long has it been since you applied? Maybe you haven't waited long enough yet.

Anyways good luck. Something always comes along when you least expect it.:thumbup:
 
apply at wal mart! they're usually looking for fresh blood i mean workers. it is fun working there i gotta say. electronics department is a lot of responsibility though due to theft and such.

good luck with the job hunt and remember

When corporate comes to inspect things it reminds me of nazis inspecting prison camps. I dont know why I get that vibe. Other than that Target is a good store to work for. I will probably go back there pretty soon...as I'm jobless now.
 
Hey, I applied at wal-mart. They haven't called me back.

It's been 3 weeks for somplaces, 2 weeks for others, and one week for some. I guess I am over reacting, but all three jobs I've had they've gotten back to me withing 2 days. So I guess my lucky streak must end.

As for the target thing, I don't know how the one you worked at was. If you were written up once you were fired. I was given 2 written-verbal warnings which I never signed because I never saw them. However, they have the right to terminate you for no reason at all under your 90 days, perhaps they just didn't like who I was.

That was intended as a joke headed to you- you being the devil, or one of his cronies.
