Ever look for jobs online?

Indeph 11-15-05 09:29 AM

I need a job bad.. and the newspaper is easier. Monster gives you too many irrelevant job searches and its confusing.

Yes...posting resumes on monster.com can find you jobs, but they're usually not in your area or anything that you can or would want to do.


If you know exactly where you want to work, go to their web site specifically and apply online. WARNING: Some retail stores among others have a lengthy application process that can take upwards of 40 minutes to complete.


Also, go around to different stores and apply using their Employment Kiosks.


The point is, you have to know where you want to work to guide you, otherwise, you'll be lost in the classifieds.


P.S. Craiglist.org also lists jobs in your area

Lol.. I totally gave up on regular jobs...

Call me crazy... But I'm a music artist/producer/poet/writer/philosopher And I'd rather make money off what I love doing than some wanky part time job with no future in it...

Indeph 11-15-05 09:48 AM

HOWEVER, u gotta do what u gotta do sometimes until u can do what u TRULY want to do.

Really though man...

I never responded well to having a boss... I could hold down jobs, but I always got so fucking annoyed at their gayness and irrelevance to anything I was doing in my life..

I have recently realised I can make money off my other talents rather than just getting a small cut from putting in actual hard hours at a bum job...

Absolutely dawg...it's slavery workin for someone else...

think about it.

why work hard building someone else's dream when you can work hard to build yours?

If you work for a company for 20 years, you'll NEVER be as wealthy as the boss...Then, when he gets good and ready, he can fire your ass and you'll be left with nothing.

It's a system set up to perpetuate slaves/oxen.


<-----I won't be one of them.

I've filled out online applications for places like Blockbuster and Best Buy, but never went online to find a job.

schema 11-15-05 10:23 AM

i work at zaxby's...if you live in the southeast you know what that is...its like fast food but its all chicken and its really expensive. It's good as fuck though...delicious....

I put in around 30 hours a week there usually...

Ive also got another job stocking a warehouse where my dad works...I put in 15 there but I can put in up to 32 if I feel like it...I make my own hours...

Also sometimes on my days off Ill go work at some of the new zaxby's stores where I know the managers...

What'd you think of Best Buy's 20 page personality test during that application process?

I'm working on a demo and doing poetry comp's in the meantime.. I'm also writing a movie script/novel and studying like fucking crazy because I conciously decided if I'm doing this rap shit.. I'm doing it properly..

My demo will be finished before christmas and after that everything kicks off in that direction... Like I've said in the past... Hear my tape before you make ANY assumptions about me... I garentee you wont doubt anything I say once you hear what I'm bringing..

I tried to fill out the app. 3 times, and each time my computer crashed about halfway through it. So I just said fuck it and gave up.

yea...dat shit is annoying...I applied to best buy before and at the end of the application process, they administer a 20PAGE!!!!! personality test. They ask you questions like "How do you feel when the court systems let guilty criminals free?"

WTF!

I think Leady was hinting at the fact/possibility that you don't make money offline.

La Cosa Nostra 11-15-05 10:46 AM

I said I'm in poetry comp's for the meantime in the first sentence of that post..

Some good ones at that....

GKillaz05 11-15-05 10:47 AM

I used that Monster b/s, in my school we had to do a stupid project, and find 4 jobs on Monster, it didnt work very well tho.

L. Veracity 11-15-05 11:02 AM

he must not be making much...

hasn't NOS admitted to not having eQuipment or a place to record :confused:

I'm not tryina down you, just correct me if I'm wrong about my interpritation of what you've said in the past cuz I just might actually (rare as it is) be wrong

P.S. www.monster.com is a crock of shit, I've had my resume there forever

ThatNigga if you want a job, go apply at Target on the computer thingie...down here they're hiring pretty much everyone that can speak English that applies for a job cuz they get busy over the holidays...apply now while you can get trained and shit before Thanksgiving when it gets ULTRA busy...you'll prolly get decent hours too, they just mostly want people as closers around this time of the year, which means you'll end up working pretty late so I hope you don't have much to do in the mornings kyd...but yeah, Target is the spot...$6.50 is the starting pay...I just got hired and been working there about a week...only downfall is you gotta be on ya feet the whole time, but it's a decent job that's not difficult

I have a studio quality condenser mic and pre amp..

But no soundcard in my computer, and no point in putting one in because I need a new computer altogether.. So instead of spending $1000+ on a new computer I know another rapper in my area that I'm just gonna use for his equiptment..

Money wise I'm in a comp which, if I win (good chance I will) it will provide me more or less an entire years income.. And I doubt I'll be unsigned for long after my demo is finished... I know how to work things to get where I wanna be at...

I been through some hard times this year... Next year is when everything will start to take shape.. For now, yeah, I'm basically a broke cunt working on projects to start up my career and lifes work.

so...thing is, if ur broke, do u mind being broke?


like leady and I both said, u do what u gotta do to make means until u get in a position to truly do what u want...cuz, I dunno about u, but I don't have anyone buyin my food...

if u don't work u don't eat...iz dat simple...


And as far as THATNIGGA is concerned...I know he's trying to get a job in computers...I wish him luck...

one day, he may own his own company dealin with that
