Poll of the Day > 2nd job in 2 weeks got turned down for

(+) Yeah! (+)

Basically out of money... I don't know what to do anymore.

Temp agency

Sounds great...

Uber

I don't even have a license... only a permit

I can't park.

any plasma centers in the area?

The only jobs you are going to get in this area through temp agency are driving a forklift somewhere or working in some Slavs house like Amazon.

Which not only sucks a huge bag of dicks it's an exteneley temporary solution to a permanent problem, that bringing need a large cash flow to get a place/car(hopefully) and sustain myself

Well you need some cash flow, period, so you don't end up homeless. Get work via temp agencies while continuing to put out resumes, or look into earning some credentials.

I don't even care anymore..

Yeah sure I'll go work at Walmart and then pretend I won't my time wasted again on another interview

Wish me luck going to be the best wal Mart greeter I can be

Temp agency

Bad idea. Temp agencies pull shit like "We got a job for you but its 80 miles away for two days. Oh by the way if you say no we'll blacklist you and never offer you something again."

Lmfao so true

Neither of the jobs gave me any feedback just "blablabla went in another direction sorry bud"


That's the great part is I don't even know what I'm doing wrong so I can improve. I have my speciations though

try getting the same email after 3 interviews you went out of your way for only to have an incompetent interviewer :/

Lmao and this dude is making topics trying to dig at me because i have a degree in museum studies. No job, no license. Maybe try getting a degree in museum studies and you can get a decent paying job like me, tlc.
---

You sound really fucking defeatist. I wouldn't want to hire you.
---

What wrong with driving a towmotor? You can get like $15 an hour if you're good at it. Not bad for sitting down all day.

What kind of job Jen?

Define "turned down". If you mean you interviewed and got a rejection, fair enough. But if you mean you just applied and never heard back or didn't get an interview, then you're not applying to enough in a two week period.

Interviewed

You probably need to work on your interviewing skills. Not sure what kind of jobs you are interviewing for, so not much else I can say on that.

A job where I make almost $60k a year. But keep ragging on my degree while you're a Walmart greeter.

I asked what kind of job not how much money you make silly

Jen's job sounds pretty shitty but that's some decent paper

Are you saying I should lie and make up things to make me look good?

I never really thought about making shit up. I've always been an honest person, that being said I'm pretty sure I don't incriminate myself during interviews

Maybe honesty is not a useful character trait to have in this world and I should eliminate this from my person to get the things I need to survive.



Perhaps you have a point. Definitely willing to explore new concepts and ideas at 24 years old

My job is awesome. I handle casualty insurance claims. And inb4 Tlc says "I wouldn't want to do that anyway." that's cool and all but you're ragging on my degree when I have a really well paying job while you're applying to be a Walmart greeter. What my actual job is doesn't even really matter at that point.
---

You think if I went to school for museum studies I could get a job handling insurance claims too?

Any advice is helpful

Expecting to start out as a big shot is not realistic, honestly, unless you know somebody and nepotism happens. You should take what you can get for now.

I've applied to almost 500 jobs over the course of the past four years and haven't gotten a single offer. Sometimes that shit just sucks and there's not much you can do except keep trying and hope one will finally be interested. Sometimes there is no good reason why they choose one person over you.

Don't look at interviews like the final piece of the puzzle or like a test you need to pass and then you'll get the job. The whole process is a cumulative thing, not a series of steps to pass. You can ace the interview and still not get an offer. That being said, maybe you do need to work on your interview skills, but I wasn't in your interviews, so I'm not going to speculate and judge you on something I don't know.

How do you apply for 500 jobs without getting hired?


Are you applying for positions you are way under qualified for or have some horrible criminal record or some crap?

You could have a degree in literally anything to get my job. Lots of jobs are the same way. If you have a bachelor's degree it's preferable to a lot companies regardless of what it is in.

Maybe try not being a NEET and you'll be able to get a decent job.

Think I'd rather die tbh. Not even joking. Not too interested in working 2-3 month stints in slavehouses so I can pay rent and eat and have no money to save otherwise then they get rid of you when your contract is up...

Unless they don't then you get a full time position in a slavehouse making just enough to cover cost of living. Wooo!


Winning

So I should get a degree in rock climbing or museum studies or whatever and spend the next 40 years paying back the money?


Doesn't seem like a reasonable investment. Probably makes more sense to make 30-40k without 100k in debt with interest.

It would be a good help if you could point me to a 6 figure salary I could make with museum studies. I'm looking into the University of Phoenix as we speak

$100k in debt? It's not medical school. Jesus. My job goes up into the 6 figure range on the pay scale for the position so I can point you to my job.

Lmao stay salty about my degree while you're getting yelled at by people who don't want you to check their receipts
---

I'm not salty about your degree. I don't really care about your degree. You have some bizarre ego issues.

And yes even an average school runs about 15-20k a year for 4 years then compounding interest for the 30 years or so it takes to pay off easily pushes it into 6 figures

Because I have a degree and those jobs are more competitive. I wouldn't say I'm applying to things that I'm way under qualified for, but it's easy for there to be dozens of applicants with more experience than me in what they want. On the other hand, I imagine to be a greeter, cashier, etc. they care less about you having experience in those things and more about you not being a crazy/sketchy person.

Also I have to apply to most of my jobs through an online portal where it might never get seen by a real person. I know some of the bigger retail stores are also like that now, but there are still plenty of places with help wanted signs up where you can go talk to somebody. It doesn't work that way at tech and engineering companies.

It's not an ego issue when you literally made a topic like just a week ago to jab at my degree randomly.

Why don't you go to a trade school and do something with your life instead of whining about having no job and "slavehouses" on the internet?

Except not. I used to use them and I had the exact opposite experience. Hell, my friend used one and is moving up the ranks at his company. He used to load boxes, now he gets to travel for work.

You have no idea why I made that topic. Your only reflection on this is "wow I have a degree on museum studies, this topic is asking about museum studies and therefore seems to be making fun of me, I'm going to be irrationally angry about this and wait for my moment of revenge grrr"

The funny thing about it is I never once bashed you or your degree, I think I posted like one or two lines in the topic, you are just so insecure about it, it triggered you.

My bad Jennifer

It doesn't matter why you made it. You made the topic to talk crap about the degree I have. Who else would it have been about? I'm the only one here with a museum studies degree. You're trying to play ignorance as bad as sunny but it's very much transparent.

CSU/OSU

Dude, just go find any job. Walk into a bar/restaurant and ask to be dishwasher. When you're broke, no job is beneath you.

I actually made a topic saying "what jobs can you get with museum studies degree'

Post was blank.

That's what you are so triggered about Jennifer. No one is playing ignorance, this is a literal thing that happened with 100 percent accuracy.

If I made a topic that was exactly similar but said "Chemisty" or "Communications". Nobody on this board with those degrees would taken it as some apparent insane personal slight to the extent of harboring this much genuine malice

Even if they did feel it was some subtle slight, they would've brushed it off and not used an opportunity like this over a week later to bash me to make you feel better I guess.

But again your degree seems to be some huge sore spot fof whatever reason so again for the second time. MY bad Jenny.
