you have a business management degree and you're worried about getting minimal wage? you gotta be kidding. go be a truck-driver or something. it pays well and you're always from home so it's really easy to run away from life |

For serious though: Apply for jobs, if you don't get phone calls within a few days, like 3 or 4, do follow ups. Take the initiative yourself to show them that you are intrested. they'll say to themselves, "Hey, this guy really wants the job." At the interview, when they ask "Why should we, at ________ hire you?", or "Why do you want to work for ________?", always say something like, "Well I did some research on your organization before applying, and from what I saw, you look like a great comapny to work for." Tell them how the benefits are great, the customer service is great, even if you don't know or anything. BS them the whole way. And places that seem to or do have high employee turn over rates, always tell them you would like to stay with the organization as long as possible, because you feel like you could be an asset to them. Ask them about their probationary period. If it's say 90 days, tell them that it will be as much of a test for them as it is for you. They'll see how hard you are willing to work to advance with the company, and you will be seeing how good of a company it really is to work for. I guess it just shows that you're serious about having the job and you mean business. I've had much success getting jobs here following those steps. And only after two days with Payless Shoes, I've been asked if I want to be a keyholder/supervisor or not. AND I HAVE NO RETAIL OR MANAGMENT EXPERIENCE! Chick-Fil-A is considering making me a shift supervisor also, and I've only been there three weeks. |

Best paid job I ever had was web design, but that's not steady income unless you're ready to start your own company and work like hell to get jobs, so I don't recommend it. |

I'm a qualified site carpenter and I only get 7.50uksterling an hour making steel doors and fitting them. It pays my debts and I'm happy which is the most important. I've trained 3 years to barely beat minimum wage, that sucks! Although if I was determined I could get a carpenters job on site earning 12.00uksterling an hour but i'm lazy. Happiness matters in work. Nobody sticks at a shite well paid job forever, it gets too much. |

It probably wasn't the best paid job, in fact it was only a few dollars above minimum, but in high school I worked as an usher in a 20 screen movie theatre for almost 3 years. For the last 6 months of my tenure, roughly, I was basically the one who always helped the managers put together the giant "standee" cardboard promo pieces, and was working up in the booth (projection) as well. That means almost never cleaning theatres. Aside from sitting around building stuff (fun), the only thing to do was seat theatres, which really is easy work. I'd often hang out in the projection booth for the better part of 6 hours. There were two 20 feet ladders leading onto the roof, on which people sometimes smoked weed, though I never did. We went through a couple different sets of managers over that time period, but the GM of that theatre was an ex-surfer possibly still-stoner named "Roland" (haha, great name), so it was a pretty laid-back job to have considering how busy that theatre often was. |

Sounds like a great place. Why'd you leave? |

Yeah, it was a cool job, though for the first 1-2 years I kinda hated it. I could have easily gotten another job, but most of my friends worked there at the time so I stayed for that reason. I guess sometimes, when faced with a shitty situation, persevering, rather than quitting, can be its own reward, as the job eventually got much better. I had to leave when I moved to a city 3 hours away to start college, about 4 years ago. |

Before tax I earn about £22 an hour. I used to earn more, now I don't. It's not bad though. Pay's the bills and shit. I have no qualifications except for hard work and experience. I will start my own company again within the next 5 years. |

the easiest way to get a job is to have a friend or family member recommend you. thats how ive always found employment. |

house painting, manual labor, clean outs, and landscaping are all jobs which pay relatively well and require absolutely no skill (well, painting does, but it gets picked up quite quickly). best of all, quite often, when you at least start out you will get paid in cash. always great to avoid those pesky taxes. |

Why do you always bad talk your job? I think that's an interesting thing to do. That's a swell looking outfit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, that's not my real job. I only do that few times every year. And the outfit sucks! The people sucks! Everything sucks there! Usually I work as administrative... |

I work in a museum which is bloody great, and I do video work now and again. I'm starting a new job as Artist In Residence at a Uni in September. I like my jobs. |

your mom pays $50 an hour to service her |

Construction labourer. Can be good money (60.00-90.00 pound a day) although you do have to work, but its simple and it keeps you fit. Or if you can bear it ; factory operative, here theres a chicken factory that pays 7.00pound an hour to kill chickens. |

I'm definitely gonna make a killing once I'm a graduated philosopher. Definitely. |

i've only ever had one steady job but it pays well enough given that i do just about nothing all day. |

we're in the same boat sir. high five 80's style!! |

I'm getting a job soon as soon as I get clean that starts at $11.25/hour (my friend's mom is pretty high-up there, so she's basically handing me and him a job). Though, I have made money gaming as well, so if you count the money won in competitions on a per hour basis, it'd be significantly more than that. |
