Have you thought about making a resume and using those online job application things? I have friends that have used them and gotten interviews...
Are you thinking about moving?

MYLITTLECIVIC.. get a job in Pizza delivery. It is the best job you will ever have. You get $.75 per delivery, regular minimum wage, as well as an average of $2.00 tip per delivery. You just drive around and listen to music. I could make $300 easy between a friday and saturday night.

I think a big part of it is persistence. When I went in to interview for my job (all of 5 1/2 years go), I called literally every other day for like a month until I got my second interview. My boss flat out told me that there were better applicants w/ more experience but I was the one who seemed to be dedicated and want it the most.
And Juve...I don't think you could afford her for those types of services. Lol

I'd try all the other pizza places around your area. I do pizza delivery too, and its fantastic for part time or full. Most places always need new drivers (at least around here). I make 6.75/hr, $1 each delivery for gas, and can walk home with $60 to $70 a night (on a good night). You don't even need to know your city that well, just need to have a reliable car, and you need to have a clean driving record (for most places).
Another kickass job is working at a movie theater. Takes about no skill (at least at first) and you need no experience. If you work there long enough and seem like a good employee, you'll move through the ranks, and eventually up to the film booth, which is the best job ever. I'm fact, I highly recommend you go to your area theater TOMORROW and apply. Call back 1 week later and ask about the status of your application. go from there. Just dress nice (I always wear a shirt and tie anytime I'm getting an application; lucky for me, becuase I got an interview on the spot), fill out your application as well as you can. Even if you've had no experience, you must've done something (mowing lawns, summer gigs, etc.) You'll find something |
