| darkwolf007 User ID: 3974719 01/11/2013 09:40 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've been trying to find a job for over 3 months. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22079895 Out my app in everywhere, even places like McDonald's,Taco Bell, janitor at the hospital, etc. I'm 20 years old, male, clean background,HS Diploma, don't do drugs. What gives? This is why I've begun the process of getting on Disability here in Texas. My town just has almost no jobs whatsoever. The very few jobs that are available are extremely contested peon jobs such as McDonald's, Taco Bell, and other service/fast food jobs. My field is the IT field. There's not alot of technology jobs here in my town. I can't afford a vehicle of my own because I can't get a job. Welfare/Disability is the only foreseeable path for me to getting ANY source of income while I'll have a brighter mentality towards looking for a job abroad once I do get a vehicle of my own so I can go to nearby cities that does have much better technology infrastructures than my town. My last job back in November of '05, the owner of the place who hired me told me that I had to fight for my job and even that I'm vastly overqualified for virtually EVERY job in town. Which means that I must absolutely get out of town to find a job. Good luck, AC/OP, to find an appropriate job for yourself. Especially a job that won't leave you even more in despair than when you were without a job. Attention!

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26890650 Youre probably not qualified for most jobs. Your appearance and demeanor and the way you communicate may be sub par and I wouldnt blame people for not hiring you. "you're probably..." Based on what exactly? HELL, you're probably some he-she transvestite hag being split roasted by two hung bastards filling your face full of cockmeat sandwich. I base that off of the same thing you based your comment on...must be true. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Quoting: anonanon 4148733 So first, get some skills. Check out your local community college to see what 2 year programs you might be interested in that will lead to some kind of career. Of course, you can always join the Navy. They will test you to find out what you are good at, and then they will train you. After that you can go to college on the GI Bill and get the education you need to have a profession. Vocational school can offer great training in plumbing, auto repair, electrical, HVAC and other trades. I used to recommend people join the military for job training and experience, but no more. The military has been totally compromised by people at the top with no integrity. |

You are still a civilian. We are going like Europe. You don't see 18 wheelers all over Europe like here in the US. Soon you will see much fewer here. They don't need them in Europe as they have full sea cabotage. A part of the Jones Act was changed to build roads and sell cars and trucks. It limited most everything to 2 ports, Elizabeth City and Long Beach. If you took something from, say China, into one port and then shipped to another port in the US it would add another 12% onto rate. That is being undone. LaHood, the present Sec. of Transportation, is opening 40.........Forty....., more ports, East, West, Gulf and Great Lakes. Get in any door that you can on this. You can email me on side for more. |

There's hourly guys at the hub I work at making $23 an hour ft w/ anything over 8 hours a day being overtime, The drivers make alot more. It is a shit job until you get use to it. You could also look on craigslist it's free to post on there so you might find more jobs than a paper or a website that charges employers. |
