In the past year I have:
I think I need to masturbate more onto shopping carts or something, this list of mine is pretty lackluster. Any suggestions?

No Longer Flaky posted:Literally no job in retail has ever checked up on it. That's not exactly true. Most will call the former employer, but employers only confirm if you worked there and for how long. They will not say anything else for legal reasons.

Benny the Snake posted:Better they hear it from me first than for me to lie and them to find out from Target HR. No HR for a company of that size will ever give details on that, it opens them up to a wide range of liabilities that they would rather not pursue. All they will confirm is that you were once an employee, and for what period of time that you were an employee. It doesn't matter if you were a stellar employee or if you just spent all day running over small children in shopping carts, No retail company would ever say why you left, if they would hire you again, etc.

Benny the Snake posted:I want a job. It's why I showed up at the interview an hour earlier The gently caress man, why? 15 minutes is courteous and professional. 60 minutes shows you had nothing better to do with your life, like practice responses to common interview questions. When the hell is it ever normal to show up an hour early somewhere in a business setting?

Benny the Snake posted:It was in a mall so I walked around and applied to a couple of other places before my interview. Yeah, in that context it is perfectly fine, since you didn't actually show up inside Sear's for your interview and twiddle thumbs for 45 minutes, which was the vibe I was getting from the previous post.

Benny the Snake posted:Oh and, yes, it's for parking lot. I know, I know: I was a lousy cart attendant. But this time, I've actually learned from my mistakes and I'm on medication so I won't let my paranoia gently caress me over. Besides, it was the only position open. Parking lot has the highest turnover by nature. If I do end up getting back into Target, I'm going to be on my extra-best behavior with them. It's not that I don't believe you, but I just want to have this quoted just in case.

I'm not good enough of critiquing to give anything substantial that it should read as menthol cigarette, not mint-flavored.

It makes sense for the library to fingerprint Benny. It weeds out any convicted felons volunteering in a public building that caters to kids and the elderly.

Benny the Snake posted:Last week I had an interview at a local company for a data entry position. The company is an import business: they buy merchandise from China (gaming accessories, toys, etc.) and sell them online. They're moving to a new online retailer and they need someone to move their inventory to a new online retailer. I called earlier today and the manager offered me a job, which I accepted. Orientation starts tomorrow. The shifts are six hours so it's a part-time position. I never asked about pay or benefits, as it's a bad idea to do so during the interview. I'll learn about that tomorrow. I feel incredibly blessed to not only have a job, but one that works towards my volunteer experience and degree. A few things: It's probably bad form to ask about salary during an actual interview, but it's perfectly reasonable at the moment the person offers you the job. At that point you are entering negotiations on the position, and it is proper to know the terms you are accepting for employment. The position, as noted in your post seems like a short term job at the start. This isn't bad, it is still good work experience in a non retail environment where you can prove yourself to be a skilled, dedicated worker that can be of benefit to the company when the project of moving the inventory information is completed. At the very worst, you will get some great experience out of this if you can handle the job. I'm not trying to dissuade you from taking this, but don't expect this to be your meal ticket. It is a great stepping stone for anyone who has only minimal real world work experience in retail, political volunteer work or a grandmaster cart crasher. Just loving keep trying, dude. You failed to accept the illustrious duel challenge in the Thunderdome out of, what a lack of self esteem? I can understand if you tried and failed, but you didn't even try with that, you just assumed failure and passed. For shame, man.

Count Chocula posted:I skimmed this thread. Are people really yelling at the OP, who lives with a religious nut of a mother in a toxic environment, for not being able to get a job in this poo poo economy? Assholes. I grew up in a house like that, minus the religion. My parents freak out and yelled at us for no reason. You gotta get out of the house. Just getting out will do your mental health loads of good. Do you have friends you could stay with for a bit, just to get your head straight? He will always have his Target shopping carts to go back to.

Or you can just get a discount plan that isn't insurance. You can either find a state alternative or go for something national like https://www.vspdirect.com/ which offered a vision insurance plan for 15 bucks a month or a combo dental/vision discount plan (not insurance) for $6 a month.

CravingSolace posted:Do you mean the tooth hasn't broken through the gum? Because in that case, how on earth would they fill it? It could just be pain from the tooth trying to get through the gum. I've had that happen to me with some of my wisdom teeth, and the solution was to simply excise the gum tissue to help the process along.

He's feeding you lies. The unwritten rule in most office environments is if you honorable duel the manager to the death, the winner takes over the position and his or her family. I am not saying this is entirely applicable to you, but if you were to do so, I would suggest you would choose your weapons wisely and choose something like a shopping cart.

You know what happens when you ask and try for something? You can get it, or not get it and know what to do for next time if it is important for you enough. I'm busting my rear end at multiple jobs, and I found out that I am going to be transitioning into a higher position at my main job and that I got accepted into a master's program over the weekend, in a study that I do not have previous college experience then. Learning the necessary skills and information to do a job is fine and dandy, but what you need is to better your skill retention, how fast you can pick up said skills, and not do things half assed. At the very least learn expected social customs and norms so you don't think it's a good idea to call out with lame excuses.
