If you were young and able-bodied, yes
well you would walk in and ask if they were hiring and if they were by chance then you could interview right there.
kind of helped that he was a veteran, well not really because people hated nam and even the people who didn't sign up to go for some reason. but in his case the boss liked it.
Not a boomer but I walked o to a place on the 22nd and start working 4 days later.
My interview went like this
>labor job in a lumber mill
>go to interview
>manager asks me "hows your back?"
>its good
>he tells me i start tomorrow morning 6am
I was there only 1min.
Is it a good job with good pay? It sounds like it could wear out your back if you did it for too long.
No but neither is being a taxi driver
Fair. good luck with your lumber mill job anon.
I did that in 2005 at a pizzeria.
Lee Harvey Oswald was hired in under 5 minutes of interview
Yeah, especially in Industrial areas. You can just go door to door looking for a job and chances are someone will hire you even if they aren't actively looking for someone.
Yeah, they had it way too easy
yes because high trust homogenous monoethnic God fearing society
>1970s NYC
company I work for were doing this (via a recruitment agency) until a few yrs back until there were too many instances of hiring completely inept and in some cases mentally unstable people they quickly had to get rid of
last few yrs we've only hired people with some family member or relative already working there
it's what happened to me, I can just imagine what the average Cinemaphilecel is like though and would have trouble being employed. Even moronic people get hired at mcdonald's what is your excuse?
People with mental disabilities can sign up for job seeking programs where a social worker negotiates their hours and occasionally comes in to supervise them.
>Send out eight job applications to clean tables at restaurants
>One rejected my application outright, not a single response from any of the others for a week and a half
Where in the frick am I supposed to start if I can't even clean fricking tables? Are you fricking serious? I keep hearing all about a labor shortage and yet nobody will hire me even to clean fricking tables, should I change my name to Tyrone or something or pretend to be trans so I can get a call back? This is fricking ridiculous and civil war can not come soon enough
Just go on craigslist. Plenty of restaurants are hiring.
Are they actually looking to hire people unlike everyone on Indeed? That's what I've been using
Depends on where you are, but where I work(bar in a metropolitan city) we are always posting on craigslist and not getting a lot of bites.
Craigslist is inherently more up to date, I'd imagine the people posting on indeed found someone and forget to take it down.
That makes sense. I live in a very rural area so that might be why I couldn't find anything, but I will try out Craigslist. Thanks Anon
>should I change my name to Tyrone or something or pretend to be trans so I can get a call back?
Unironically, yes. Businesses aren't hiring white men because they get diversity tax breaks.
Would that still work even when they see me in person and find out I'm the whitest person alive? I am very seriously considering pretending to be trans just so I can find a job that pays more than slavery wages, so I can maybe afford a house in the far future
>Where in the frick am I supposed to start if I can't even clean fricking tables?
I had the same bullshit. College degree, but applying for McDonalds, but they wouldn't hire me because they (rightfully) knew I'd probably quit 3 weeks in. There's a weird sour spot in the job market, where you're too educated for moronic work, but not experienced enough to get an actual job.
Only advice I can give is to just fricking lie. No joke. Not a bit. Not trying to be funny. Just flat out lie. Make sure the lies are within reason and that you can bullshit your way out of them, but just lie. If you worked in customer service, say you would deal with 100 guests an hour for 12 hours straight. Say you worked shifts on your own. Say the manager would leave the store keys with you to close up at night. It doesn't fricking matter. No one's gonna double check.
I literally made up my contacts on my resume, just fake phone numbers, and still got my current cozy work-from-home salary gig. Been here 3 years, and gotten Absolutely 0 questions about my former jobs/employers.
I will probably end up doing something like this although I wanted to do things legit and be a gubboi. Thanks for the advice
Yes. They also got their driver's license for free.
he was a vet and the interviewer was a vet
After a firm handshake, yes.
have a nice day.
Why is infinite threads about trash like this allowed but make a thread about a long-rinning TV show and mods ban for "troll posts"? Fricking hell
Had a bit of fun when my Mom decided to find a new job. She had been with the same company for 20+ years and would always tell me to wear Khaki's and to 'ask for the manager' and that I'd have a job 'by lunch time.' Just so out of touch with reality.
She quit her job (after the company downsized) and needed to find a new one. Took 8 months of around the clock searching, and what she found pays ~75% of what she had before. It's my mom, so can't be too cathartic about it, but it is kinda funny to see the rug pulled on people that have been removed from reality for so long. Wonder if during those 8 months she ever thought 'I should ask for the manager, I'm sure I can have a job by lunch time!'
They don't understand that they are now competing with endless flow of desperate labor from immigration and outsourcing. A big reason our quality of life is going down the shitter is because we are importing lower standards of living and that's what the people hiring want.
Not really, same thing is happening in countries with very low immigration rates of all economic scales too. It is absolutely the older generation fricking up the world economy to this state and don't let anyone fricking tell you otherwise.
Two weeks ago I went shopping for some furniture. I helped the worker move the stuff I was looking for and I offered to apply there as a joke.
She was actually interested and told me of some opportunities.
I already got a job but I was pleasantly surprised that you can still go somewhere, give a hard handshake and you're in.
I got many jobs like that in the 2000s dude..guitar center... cafes... etc.
