what would i do?

[g-50Cab]

You got any skills? Can you answer phones? Do you know the alphabet? (Filing) You would be suprised at the different jobs we get - all across the board...

[Jake]

well i just graduated high school, ide prefer not to answer phones, and who doesnt know the alphabet? haha... how much would i make? or does it vary from each job..

[g-50Cab]

Vary by job and what we have in - range from 6.00 on up - You call - go in in - fill out an application - they go over what they have - you decide what you want to do from there. No cost to you, only your time.

[Jake]

what time do they close? i can go in there tomorrow afternoon possibly. also, do they offer full time hours?

[g-50Cab]

5:30 - most positions are full time hours

[Jake]

[g-50Cab]

U wont get a job at home depot, they SUCK at hiring, i worked there last summer, and it took me 3 monthes to get hired, and they just had 3 people quit too, so they needed people, but they are just slow as hell, then this summer when i tried to get my job back after coming back from school, they told me i had to 100% reapply and go through the whole process again, even though they are desperate for people, sucks asssss

o ya SDP sucks ass too, training is laid back, u get on the floor, and i constantly get yelled at for BS, supervisor even monitored me, wrote me a bad review, so i asked him to listen to what he heard, AND IT WASNT EVEN ME, it was another nick, that job seriously SUCKS

yea ive heard about how home depot is slow as hell in hiring you. and i worked at Call_Solutions, and its pretty much the same thing as SDP, and im never doing telemarketing again, it sucked ass, i hated it.

[Pharaoh]

I worked at call solutions from like october 01 to december 01.... that was prolly best telemarketing job i had, seting your own ours kicked ass

also temp agencies isnt really the thing you want to be doing as a kid, you dont have any real skills, so most of it is mindless labor, like data entry, filing, or running machines.... 8 hours a day on that kind of stuff is enough to make anyone go nuts

but GL with job search, im 19 and lookin for a job too

[Jake]

compUSA called me back and i might get a job there as a "coordinator" with a base pay of 8.00 working 9-6 mon-fri, it comes out to 1500 a month, and u also get commisions if u sell extended warranties and shit on the products... u should try going in there...

Actually you are wrong here - during an economic recovery - many companies go to temporary companies because they don't have the resources (like HR people) to hire people.

I recommend to many folks that you explore all your options - network (ie talk to people you know) look at job boards (like this, monster, career builder, fl career link), newspaper want ads, and temporary and full time agencies. I have a few clients that no longer hire people off the street - the ONLY way you will get a job there is if you go through a temporary service - they like to try before they buy - 90 days on a temporary payroll, then convert to their payroll.

Did you know in most parts of europe 20-30 percent of the jobs are covered by temporary companies? Here it's about 3%...

[Vito_Corleone]

I called that place, that Sue lady is a bitch. :(

[g-50Cab]

How do you mean?

[PrePaidNextel]

progressive !

[Jake]

ide rather not sit on the phone for 8 hours a day

Well im sorry, I must have gone to a bad temp place. When I went in there (other place, not yours), I talked to them about job history, what kind of skills I had, and basically everything they had for me was telemarketing, filing, mcdonalds or something else along those lines for 6$ an hour. Maybe I'll give them a call, thanks.
