<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 346720, member: 8033&quot;]Stainless,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve pretty much backed you since you&#039;ve been on CT now here goes.</p><p><br /></p><p>YOU BETTER GET YOUR BUTT TO WORK TOMORROW DUDE!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m going into &quot;manager&quot; mode here now and I did it for about 20 years my friend.</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Jobs don&#039;t grow on trees - especially these days.</p><p>2) Very few people actually enjoy their jobs. We just need to do silly things like eat and have a place to live. Fortunately I pretty much like my job now but it took me over 20 years to figure out that I&#039;d rather fix holes and paint walls than kiss somebody&#039;s butt. </p><p>Until then I had to do a little butt kissing. That&#039;s called life dude.</p><p>3) I rarely recommended any &quot;friends&quot; for jobs because I was afraid they would let me down and that affects MY reputation. You&#039;re good friends with the owners son. Show him that you are worth it for both your friends and your sake.</p><p>4) Don&#039;t assume that going to college is going to put you into an immediate &quot;high paying&quot; job when you get out. Unless you are in the upper echelon of your class and have a field that is in STRONG demand you will most likely start toward the bottom. You still have to prove yourself.</p><p>5) NOW here are some things that potential employers actually look at. I took it a step or two further at times for the &quot;lowly&quot; position of cashier.</p><p>....IF you came into my store dressed like a bum and asked for application I would give you one. When you left I would write DNH on it. DNH means Do Not Hire.</p><p>....IF you came into my store and told me you needed a job I would give you an application. When you left you would get a DNH. Don&#039;t care if you need a job I want to know if you want to WORK for a job.</p><p>....IF you came into my store dressed decent but didn&#039;t have a pen to fill out your application you would get a DNH. You&#039;re not that serious about the job in question.</p><p>....IF you come into my store sharply dressed, pen in hand and resume ready I&#039;ll consider you. IF I see that you have had 8 jobs in the past 3 years you get a DNH. Why waste my time and company money training someone that MIGHT last six months. Managers have to look at these things.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please read this and remember it Stainless. You&#039;re young but won&#039;t be forever.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the &quot;lowly&quot; cashier comment, well most folks have no clue how tough that job can be and the economy would not function without them and all the other &quot;trivial&quot; jobs. </p><p><br /></p><p>Should you become rich and successful some day NEVER look down on these people. They keep the machine rolling.</p><p><br /></p><p>clembo[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
