Let's talk about the job market.[views:2602][posts:35]_____________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 2:37pm - Sacreligion ""] And how it doesn't exist. GO! |
| _________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 2:44pm - Martins ""] I got a job at the last minute. The company didn't even offer it, they just told me when I was coming in for my first day. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 2:46pm - Sacreligion ""] What does that even mean? I suppose that being in bands and having most nights and weekends unavailable doesn't really help my situation. I sure as shit ain't quitting the only thing I like doing though. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 2:51pm - Martins ""] Those two sentences were unrelated. I go to school at Northeastern and we have the Coop Program where you work 6 months out of the year for up to 3 years. The advisors that help you get your resume out there generally give up once july hits. I got an offer from 3M on June 21st or something. That's the last minute part. The other part is that they already knew that I would have said yes to the offer without even asking which is a sign of the times (or a sign that they knew I got no's from every other company I'd applied to). I know lots of kids who just didn't get jobs this time around. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 2:55pm - Sacreligion ""] Ohhh. You should give me your job. |

| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:00pm - Sacreligion ""] I know that they use electricity and have various purposes. Good enough. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:04pm - brian_dc ""] Let's talk about sexy, baby. Let's talk about you and me. Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be. Let's talk about sex. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:05pm - Sacreligion ""] I guess I could whore myself out to 100 fat chicks for $1,000 a piece. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:08pm - brian_dc ""] that right there is excellent example of synergy you'll go far. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:10pm - tyler nli ""] im on month 4 of looking for my first big boy job, it blows |
| ___________________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:11pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] what happened to that FIOS jorb |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:12pm - Sacreligion ""] That's a great fuckin idea. I'm a fat fuck that could stand outside a restaurant holding a giant cheeseburger in a checkered outfit. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:13pm - Sacreligion ""] FuckIsMySignature said:what happened to that FIOS jorb FIOS jorb was a joke. You can't sell something when 8 people have been there before you annoying the piss out of everyone. |
| ______________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:15pm - Yeti ""] go after anything. gas stations, fast food, retail, those are jobs that you can have way more flexible hours with. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:17pm - Sacreligion ""] I'm trying to hold out for something that's at least $10 an hour, but I'm pretty much at the breaking point. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:25pm - the_reverend ""] as of Sept 27th, I will have been at the same job for 10 years. |
| _______________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:27pm - tylor ""] thankfully i have an awesome $10/hr retail job in the meantime so i shouldnt complain too much |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:27pm - Sacreligion ""] Should've stayed in school and got a miserable, well-paying job. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:36pm - the_reverend ""] Sacreligion said:Should've stayed in school and got a miserable, well-paying job. holla |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:38pm - Sacreligion ""] I had this thing about spending my time doing shit I hated to get a piece of paper that tells someone else I've put up with tons of shit and am willing to be their bitch. |
| _______________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:41pm - aril ""] i wish I could get paid for fapping all day, and playing video games. that'd be the best job ever |
| _________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:41pm - W3 nli ""] got a great job and getting promoted from within rules. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:42pm - Sacreligion ""] Go out to Vegas and stud yourself like Mike Tyson did. I bet Arilliusperm would be a hot commodity. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 3:57pm - dertoxia ""] I work at staples and before we got really busy with the back-to-school rush they put up a 'now hiring' sign in the window.....meaning, now hiring temporary help for the BTS season. Its really depressing seeing single moms come in asking to fill out an application, oh and could we work around their schedule they already have 2 jobs and will also need time to go pick their kid up from daycare. Or theres the thugs that come in "yo iz hurd you dogz hirin'?". Things would be so much simpler if we could just say to them, yes we're hiring, but not you. No it's got nothing to do with the economy, it has everything to do with you being an obvious shitty employee. |

| ___________________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 4:39pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] get screamed at by irrational foreigners for 9 hours a day. it rules. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 4:41pm - Sacreligion ""] Sold. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 4:46pm - dertoxia ""] FuckIsMySignature said:get screamed at by irrational foreigners for 9 hours a day. it rules. people scream at me too, its great. i love when someones just so mad theyre yelling and getting out of control. and you know theres nothing you can do to help them so you just let them vent and keep on yelling. important thing is to never break eye contact. just stare em down and keep quiet until they run out of breath or realize that theyre wrong. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 11,2009 9:25am - BlackoutRick ""] That's the best. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 11,2009 9:37am - ouchdrummer ""] I don't mean to be a downer, but if people are presentable, (That's right, sell out and wear a suit) outgoing, and personable, there are PLENTY of jobs downtown. I know this because the vast majority of my clients are hiring. The thing is that they're being incredibly selective. I realize how it seems really hard to get a job right now, but you have to realize that the majority of people laid off are people who are middle-aged, have been with their companies for a long time, have expensive benefits, high salaries etc.... obviously their are plenty of exceptions to these rules, i have friends that have been laid off too. I'm just saying that a young adult who is willing to take what they can get can DEFINITELY get a job downtown. Email me if you need help. |
