So I had my job interview today...

[Lestat]

at the Douglas County Land & Resource Management for the water quality internship. It went by ok, I guess. :shrug:

After the interview, they told me that I'll hear from them later this week if I get the job or not. From experience, when someone says that, it really means "We're not interested in you. Bugger off." :(

Oh well. I saw that Taco Bell is hiring...:(

1. Look on the bright side...

You'll get a discount at Taco Bell. :D (Kidding).

[Lestat]

2. .......

I know, but fast food was my last choice for work. It's far down the list from an internship. :(

[Droopy]

3. Hey you could always drive truck for a living

That's what i do, pays the bills. Isn't too hard on the body or the mind. Truckers are always in demand, too.

[Lestat]

4. Yeah...but...

you need some sort of special license to do that, right?

[Droopy]

6. Yeah

There are a lot of companies that will agree to pay for your training and licensing if you agree to work for them for a year. That's how I got my start.

5. Welcome to my boat.

I'm getting ready to go into the military to pay for a actual education. Job market is deader than doornails.

[Droopy]

8. Man

I hope it's the Navy. You look at the news lately?

[Sirveri]

16. You are correct sir!

They have:
Less stringent enterance standards (I'm a tad overweight)
Better technical training
More safety than the Army/Marines
And the same benefit under the GI bill.

So it's actually looking like a good option for me. Can barely afford rent and car insurance, can't afford gas to get to and from work, then boss cut my hours before going under. Fucking sucks.

[Lestat]

9. Good luck with that.

My friend just graduated college, and he joined the Guards four years ago to pay for his education. This summer, he was supposed to go to field camp and it was also going to be the end of his time in the guards, but instead, the government decided to ship him out to Iraq or Afghanistan (he doesn't know where yet). He's really pissed and upset about that. I don't blame him.

10. If you think the job market is dead

Take a look at some of the military casualties.

7. Don't despair

Something will pan out, and you won't be slopping tacos anytime soon, trust me. :hi:

[thebaghwan]

12. Yes, hang in there! I worked basically ran this guy's BBQ restaurant

when he blew out his back for $7.10 an hour. Then late last April this place I interviewed with last July calls me wants to intervew me and offers me a $62,000 a year job with 3 weeksa of vacation the first year. You gotta believe!

[2Design]

14. what a up beat story......

now that is a lot of believing ......I believe, I believe, I believe..

and tinker bell came back to life... and blessed you with a fantastic offer.....

I want what you have...:):):):)

[indigobusiness]

11. Did you tell them you were a vampire?

...might've had something to do with it.

[Lestat]

13. No, but I think they could tell...

I kept looking at their necks in awe. :shrug:

[huellewig]

15. Did you send a thank you letter?

I had this horrible job interview one time. The next morning I faxed in a thank you letter and the lady called back in 15 minutes offering me the job. After the interview she had even said it would be a week before they make any decisions.

[LastKnight]

17. im sure it turned out ok.

18. Recently had an interview as well

It went very well but towards the end when he asked my age "17", he said he couldn't hire me because I was 18 but said "Please give me a call when your 18 and if your still on the market." Glad I did well and may have an opening for when I turn 18 but disappointed at the same time. :shrug:
