God damn crap **** ****. Even the local supermarket turned me down. Grrrrr :grumpy: 
:tongue2: I knew that would be one of the first responses. No, I was perfectly pleasant each time. It's only AFTER the rejection that I use that language. (by the way, I vowed never to buy from that supermarket again - bastards!)Evo said:Bad attitude dear?![]()
I would rather starve. But thanks. (besides, it's aaaaalll the way down town)mattmns said:Maybe you can try to get a job that uses the phrase: "Do you want fries with that?"![]()
Do you have any idea what the problem is? What position are you applying for? What positions are open? You do realize that most job are never advertised...are the supermarkets you applied at family owned?Smurf said:God damn crap **** ****. Even the local supermarket turned me down.

Yeah, but I'm in university!TRCSF said:That's what unemployment is all about. There are people who spend years with that on their shoulders.
I am not saying this is true or false but I have yet to meet a single person who could not find a job if they wanted one.TRCSF said:That's what unemployment is all about. There are people who spend years with that on their shoulders.
Canada doesn't have finical aid?Smurf said:Yeah, but I'm in university!I don't get welfare checks for going to uni!
They weren't advertised, I walked in and asked to talk to the manager. They had a couple of positions open, they decided to hire 2 other students instead of me a few days after my interview :grumpy:Townsend said:Do you have any idea what the problem is?

Why not, they hired other students.The most important thing about applying for a new job is to fit in....do you fit in with the rest of the work force at those supermarkets?
*scoff* And you're a commi.Perhaps you're over qualified?
Washington state. Once spent nine months looking for a job upon graduating with a BS in chemistry.Townsend said:I am not saying this is true or false but I have yet to meet a single person who could not find a job if they wanted one.
Where did you say you were from TRCSF?
No it does. I just don't feel like sinking farther and farther into debt if I can't even find a job now.Townsend said:Canada doesn't have finical aid?
A bit sheltered arn't you townsend? Even I have (granted I grew up in a 3rd world country - but that's besides the point!)Townsend said:I am not saying this is true or false but I have yet to meet a single person who could not find a job if they wanted one.
I still havn't tried anything down town yet. (it's quite a walk away) I think I'll do that tomorrow.mattmns said:How about a job at your school? It may be a bit late now, but you could still try.
That's what it was at the last interview I got. Lucky timing. I planned to just drop off a resume and try to remember the manager's name. I hadn't expected to get an interview, so hadn't prepared myself mentally. I completely botched the interview.BobG said:The application process is a lottery - and I'm not sure you ever win if they just filed it away for future reference.
You need an interview to have a chance at the job. Best chance of that is lucky timing or a friend to recommend you (second method works best).
I have met people who were getting unemployment but it was a choice they made.TRCSF said:Washington state. Once spent nine months looking for a job upon graduating with a BS in chemistry.
If you don't know a single person who couldn't find a job and not get one, you've never met anybody who's dealt with unemployment.
Unemployment isn't people who don't want to get a job. Unemployment is looking for a job and not getting one.Townsend said:I have met people who were getting unemployment but it was a choice they made.
I find it hard to believe that someone with a BS in chemistry couldn't find a job...or perhaps you couldn't find a job that you would accept?
Yeah, I guess...Smurf said:A bit sheltered arn't you townsend? Even I have (granted I grew up in a 3rd world country - but that's besides the point!)
There are a lot of people like that, but not all of them are.Townsend said:I have met people who were getting unemployment but it was a choice they made.
I know the definition of unemployed....Unemployment is a check someone gets for losing their job.TRCSF said:Unemployment isn't people who don't want to get a job. Unemployment is looking for a job and not getting one.
If you find it hard to believe then I'll have to agree with the person who mentioned the word "sheltered."
