McDuck 0 #3 October 21, 2004 Dude, I can completely identify with that feeling. I uprooted my entire life, moved from one coast to the other, based on what job placement agencies were telling me: "We can get you a job TODAY, but you have to be here to do interviews." Six months after moving, and selling nearly everyything I owned, and I had to take a call center job just to be able to afford soap. I guess what I'm trying to say is, hang in there...and rub the lucky Chinese dragon. Worked for me.

Have someone look over your resume. Maybe if you tweak it a little, you'll get a better response. Good luck buddy.

Wonder if blockbuster will call me back, they do such a good job when i have one of there movies..... Yeah, that always sucks. And no, Blockbuster won't call you back. A few years ago I got really strapped and applied at Blockbuster--no call, no job. That was about the time I gave up on "real" jobs. If it doesn't involve nepotism, a camera, or a parachute, I'm not interested.I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites happythoughts 0 #24 October 21, 2004 Two suggestions. Don't apply for just a few jobs. Follow up. The "follow up" is the most important. When you apply, ask how long it will be before you hear from them and get a contact name. Usually, they say a week. Then, call back during their decision period and ask to speak to a manager. Then ask the manager if they have made a decision. I use a check list. Company name, contact name, date, response, call-back date, response. Don't be worried about the rejection part. Apply lots of places. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Viking 0 #25 October 21, 2004 I did follow up several times.
