I need a JOB!!!

[chuck]

I'm 17 and I need a job. I want a full time job for the summer. Turning 18 in sept. Want atleast $7 and more per hour. Any suggestions around lawrencville ???

how about try to go get one...my mom told me i had to have a job by next week, i went out thursday and walked in and talked to a guy for maybe 15 minutes max; i start monday.

if you really need money then who cares what you do...bag grogeries at kroger or publix, work at that car wash by berkmar or off sugarloaf and old norcross (i think both start around 9/hr but you don't work if its raining), chick-fil-a dwarf house is always hiring and you can wait tables there and walk home with $30-40 bucks in your pocket and still have a little pay check on top of that each week, they are almost always hiring anyone who is just a hard worker. best buy, circuit city, the mall....just get some info together on a piece of paper like a mini resume. just have your past work experience, available hours (be as flexable as you can) and refrences with name and phone number (no family, try to get 3 or 4 people you have known a while who you think truly respect your work ethics). take a little extra time getting ready one day, throw on some clean jeans (no rips or the abercrombie grass stain shit) and a polo shirt and just hit the stores...either get all the applications you can and fill them out at home or just fill them out and try to talk with someone if you can, ask them when you might hear from them. each time you leave a store try to get the name of the person you talked to, if you call back or visit the store again just remember the name and say something like "i was in here the other day and spoke with XXXXX about getting a job doing XXXXXXXX for you guy, i was just wondering if you knew anymore about the job or if it has been filled, blah blah blah"...just remember your P's and Q's. you'll get a job, anyone who says they can't get a job just doesn't want to work hard enough.

You can try the paper, ajcjobs.com or monster.com. However more jobs are landed by knowing someone, than filling out applications. When you fill out an application, or fax a resume your playing employee lottery. You have to hope they pull yours out of the stack of hundreds, if not thousands. When we post a job on Computerjobs.com we get 300-500 resumes. We don't have time to read them all, much less interview them all. We pull 10 randomly out of the stack, look those over, and narrow it down to 5 to interview. Nothing wrong with him coming in here, and asking thats what this Business Forum is for.

That's where part two comes in. Another thing employers like is persistance. Shows you're willing to work. After a couple of days and you haven't heard from them, call them. Go up there. Follow up on your shit. That could be your money someone will be taking home because you got lost in the pile. Don't wait for them to call you.
