Why Is It So Hard To Find A Job?
 

I'm 17,and I already got a job right now with good ass pay. I make well more than minimum wage cause I get paid commision and I'm good at what I do,but I want a new job. I'm getting tired of this. I'm an independent contractor and work for an unorganized boss. Never get my pay on time. And I refuse to work hrly and get paid minimum wage,and I refuse to flip burgers. Why do they make it so hard for us to get job under 18. Fuck...I can't be dealing with chump change like the rest of these people. Ima hafto stick with this bullshit til I hit 18 in july. Shit sucks!!!

try being legally blind :thumbup: werd

2 reasons:

1. ur age to education to skill ratio is not that competitive yet

2. there are thousands of people competing for the same jobs man


Pray and God will open doors, even ones you don't "deserve" to walk through

another thing...if ur an independent contractor, you don't have a "boss"

so im praying i get it..
you jus gotta stay focused and be on ya grind 2 find a gig
dont get discouraged

My mom won't let me work during the week only weekends.

It sucks.

i have no idea but YOUR FIRED!!!!!!!!!!

i turn 18 in june so HAA :thefinger

but anyways yea i had a job at a pizza place but they only gave me
like an hour in the last 2 months i was working there so i just quit
they dont want me then screw them i dont like restaraunts anyway
lmao i got $5.30 on my last pay check LMAO
but naww i seriously WAS doin a good job they even told me themselves
but obviously they had sumthin against me cuz they were too pussy
ta go and fire me so they gave me no hours
most of the time i was just workin cuz i was covering for people

Dude I would have stayed, just get a second job.

Easy money and you get free food.

i know how ya feel man....i'm looking for a job right now myself...its hard even when you are 18..but in a wya its easier..you can apply to more places..i put in some applications at Shoneys and Tower Records..i think i'm gonna call em tomorrow

Hard? Huh? Lmfao...

I walked into the Ford Dealership for the hell of it with a resume and I got hired on the spot.

Man, become a server, busboy or bartender.

Be those kids in LE's sig.

wtf are those kids doing in ennui's sig?......

Lmao, why the fuck are people on this site always bitching? I work a minimum wage job (literally MINIMUM WAGE). I don't like going to work, I don't like being at work, and I don't like my job at all but I still have it. Why? 1. Because I would like to have the reference in the future and 2. I want the money.

Finding a job is easy as hell when you get your mind open. Acting like you're too good for a job when you're 17 and have no experience at all with anything serious (in regards to business and jobs) won't get you anywhere, man.

Co-signed. I get paid minimum wage too. Lol.

Co-signed,.. I was earning shit money when I first started out I think
I was on like £100 a week £400 a month that's £4,800 a year DAM I
was 16 working and studying.

Now 3 jobs later I'm on 20k a year, you can't be picky about a job at your
age, work your ass off get a good reference and move on. If you don't
get an education that's the only way to proceed.

stay up

its a natural progression thing

like since my 1st 2 jobs i've got higher and higher pay

this is my 3rd job im on btw...makin good money for my age but when lookin for a job you jus gotta say fuck it and apply to literally everything (within reason obviously, cos aint no 17 gettin hired as a project manager or some shit lol)

no one is bitching about the job they have....we are bitching about how hard it is to get a job...of any fuckin kind

actually...Mim has a point...and so does Shere...however, there is always SOMETHING to do. The question is, are you willing to do it. At 17, you may have to lower your standards some until you get to a point where you can pick and choose jobs based on skill level and experience.

yall dont have jobz...for tja same reason tha states has so many fat asses.....

GETTING A JOB ISN'T HARD.

It is when you look down on certain jobs because in your twisted world you think you deserve more money then what you're worth at this point in time. I knew going in to get applications that I had no work experience because I used to wrestle and do all this other shit, and so I didn't go in demanding to be paid a good amount. I put down for what job I wanted "Any position availible" and for pay "Any." The next week I had a job.

Getting a job isn't hard if you don't trick yourself into thinking that as a 17 year old kid with no serious work experience that you deserve a high amount of pay. My job is shitty, almost all entry level jobs are. But, what the fuck do you expect? A corner office with a window or two? Please. You're going to be doing the dirty work, and those jobs don't get paid well. Instead of bitching about how hard it is to get a job why don't you go work a shitty job or two, get a good reference, and then try to move up in another company if you choose to leave.

I got paid 3.00/hr plus tips for my first job. So I went over minimum by like, .10. Now though, I make 6.25/hr plus tips, which usually comes out near 8.25 or 9.25/hr. Hopefully I'll be making server after a year, when I get 5.25/ hr plus main tips. They usually come out to at least 15.00/hr.

Word. I get paid $5.15 an hour (no tips because my job is never rewarded with tips from customers).

I aint bitching...It's stressful shit though. Real talk. I really have a good job, and tha reason why I want to quit is because I'm getting bored of it. When I first started...Bullshit you not, I was making around 500 a week. That's cause I was hyped up about it and I was getting sales...Well, I made that kind of money after tha first 2 months. I just got a raise like last week too. Shits boring though. Lately my best check a week been 300..

boring?




welcome to the REAL WORLD.

Fucka job..

Pick ya poison and sell it.........

It ain't hard, but it depends on what you wanna do and what you don't wanna do. Like right now, I have two jobs. One as a cashier which is just easy money because I have fixed hours, get paid on time and sit on my ass all afternoon but it only pays 6 an hour. My other job is doing the helpdesk, abuse control and PR/marketing for a community site similar to myspace which pays about 10 bucks an hour (for being online a few hours a day lol)

And I tutor some of my fellow students in college for some small cash.

I just got a high school diploma but what gets me jobs like the community site one is my languages. It's all about the skills lmao

Yea...forget about all the lives you'll help to ruin. SELL!






:thumbup:

5 dollars and 30 cents??? What the fuck is minimum wage where you live? it's 6.75 in new york

What is the website you work at??? and how do you get a online job like that?????????

^yea i'd like to know that too and shit

nobody forces them to come to the dealer besides themselves, the reason why america is the way it is is because people strive for themselves before others

It's 5 something everywhere. In other words, no matter where you live, they have to pay you AT LEAST that amount. Now, other employers can raise it if they want.


Neway...Here's my spin on it. When I was in between jobs--by choice for the most part--I took time to decide what it was I wanted to do. Now, I knew that based on my education level and experience, I could easily make over 25 dollars an hour. But, what if I couldn't find any job openings that met that criteria? Should I just sit there and starve? That's for the job seeker to decide. Like Mim says, I could have worked anywhere, even Macdonalds just to put food on the table. Pride is a factor there. But, ultimately, I think it's better to get dirty than starve.

I still fill that EVERYONE should attempt to go to college if they can.
