Oh my god! MALL COP! You literally see a thing and call 911. You don't even have to stand that long. I see mall cops sitting in the food court all the time. You're basically there to make people feel safe and tell people where to find what store. When you forget where the stores are, you point them to information. When you forget where information is, you just shrug and say "I dunno, I'm a security guard, not the info guy!"

You could fail miserably. Someone could rob a store at gunpoint and when they ask, you say you were guarding the opposite end of the mall.

Edit: Page 100 and we've finally found a job Benny is capable of.

Oh, but they do have electric wheelchairs. I was a mall cop in college, and had to move one of those loving things from one end of the mall to the other. And the only way to move them is to physically sit in the seat and ride it.

So a motorized shopping cart, basically. Keep an eye out for the mushroom cloud.

Does your resume include the jobs you got fired from (Target, restaurant, box-filling place) or just the jobs you haven't gotten fired from (political campaign, canvassing, McDonald's back in the day, don't remember what else)?

Because don't include jobs you got fired from. Especially when you got fired for negligence or incompetence.

After discussing this with my career counselor, I've taken off Target from the resume. Instead, I replaced it with a brief part about my education in order to explain the gap between 2009 and now. I've also left in my volunteer experience with the political campaign.

Education, my volunteer activity, and looking for work. If it's one thing I regret, it's not looking into more volunteer work instead of focusing exclusively on looking for employment. I've applied to volunteer at my local library, and I'm going to apply to volunteer at city hall.

Slacks, long-sleeve collar shirt, and tie. I make sure everything matches and that I'm clean shaven. I wear my hair super-short so there's no need to comb it or anything.

This is true, Benny. Even if it's half-an-inch long, it needs combed and possibly styled.

He couldn't box-pack with non english speakers, and managed to brain his bosses wife and piss off the chef by telling him he was wrong about how to cook something at a restaraunt.

It was zucchini, not cucumbers. The delightfulness starts here:

I think I got along fairly well with everybody else. To be fair, I accidentally smacked the owner's wife in the head with a tray, but I don't think that would've been the final straw. And as for cooking, well I did mostly prep work. I prepared a few tacos, I prepared salad, I even grilled zucchini. The head cook told me to use a towel to press it on the grill, but I used a spatula and tongs instead.

Cashier. And yeah, I did apply at the theater. The manager happens to be a brother of an old high school buddy of mine. He told me that he won't start hiring 'till May when all the summer movies start coming out.

He told you that to semi-politely get you to go away, you loving oblivious idiot. THERE IS NO JOB IN MAY FOR YOU.

This mañana bullshit is unbelievable. It's always "i'll maybe call next Monday or something". Do it loving NOW. I had some sympathy for a while because I know what it's like to be unemployed and passed over for being over/under-qualified, but no amount of "boo-hoo the economy" can excuse your putting everything off bullshit, Benny.

I'd recommend you suck cocks in shady back alleys for change, but you'd probably just bite the glans off and then whine in this thread that you didn't know one shouldn't do that. And ask for compensation. In comics.

Also, realtalk, stop trawling for good vibes in thunderdome, you stupid twat.

What the gently caress is this? He's not making an excuse or not doing something, someone asked him if he had followed some advice and he said that he did. The guy at the movie theatre probably brushed him off and there is no job I'm May, but what is he meant to do about that? Call the manager a liar until he gives him a job?

Call the guy out all you want, but why do it when it's one of the few examples of him following advice?

Uhh movie theaters work at minimum staffing levels at all times other that summer because they don't make a ton of money. I really doubt the manager was lying to Benny. This is a weird thing to get upset with Benny about.

And then once he gets the job "BENNY YOU HAVE A COLLEGE DEGREE AND ARE GETTING PAID FAR LESS THAN I THINK A COLLEGE GRADUATE SHOULD BE PAID YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST REMAINED UNEMPLOYED AND WAITED FOR SOMETHING BETTER."

I mean, I'm still not convinced that Benny isn't a massive, elaborate troll but jesus gently caress E/N is impossible to please.
