[QUOTE=Delock;418083]save money for a raining day first

Boy oh boy are you ever right on that piece of advice... About two months of rainy days of saving should be almost minimum now days...

You would have made a good Dad, teacher, financial counselor, Mom, guidance counselor, pastor, Uncle, Grandpa with those words of wisdom!!

Well I just notice that I too have gotten a temp job lasting 4-5 weeks they say now (during interview they said 5-6)
So I am happy :)

[newb]

congrats Jesper

Congrats J! I know you been looking too.

Your good looks can only take you so far.

Woohoo!!! finally found a J-O-B today. Im now a member of the O'Reilly team. I got hired as a "parts specialist"...all though I dont know squat about car parts. But I am starting the manager training in about a week so that I can become the night time manager. So things are good here now...guess I wont have to sell my fish tanks. Now I get to sink more money into them!!!

glad you found one. isnt ironic that they hire someone who doesnt know about cars but Autozone and O'Reilly wont hire me and i have worked for Brakecheck and pretty much know parts??

[newb]

I mean...look at that face!!!

[myjohnson]

pretty boy J!

Items used to obtain this job:

Khaki pants
nice polo-style shirt
firm handshake
shoot the bull during the interview
...basically just sell yourself. Hell they might fire me in a month if I dont figure this stuff out pretty soon!

[myjohnson]

don't go in high.

[Rico]

trust me im good at that, but thats not the problem. i have a record and thats what stops them from hiring me. some people dont believe in second chances. the hiring managers want to hire me because they know im perfect for the job but its the company policy that stops it. eventhough the ap says answering yes to a felony will not necessarily disqualify you.....

[Rico]

don't go in high.

dont smoke

[myjohnson]

sorry to hear that.

[newb]

some companies actually get compensated for hiring someone with a past felony. you could probably do some research on google and find some of those companies.

here ya go...just scroll down to the bottom and there is a big list. probably just the tip of the iceburg too.
