Experience Interview Job @ MindSay

I can't express, with words, how utterly pissed off I am. There is virtually no job market here in Las Cruces, especially due to the fucking recession. After submitting upwards of 25 applications and resumes in the last 4 weeks, how many call backs for interviews have I gotten? NONE. Fucking carpet-munching, two-bit window-lickers. I followed up on half if not most of the places I applied within 2 weeks. I always get the same bullshit answer "We found who would be best qualified for the job," or "We're looking for people with more experience."

Experience? What the flying jesus-mary-and-joseph fuck do you expect from a guy who's expecting minimum wage or less! AND how the fuck do you expect me to get "more" experience without being in a goddamn work environment!

I'm sorry I never went to college to learn how to bus tables or take orders or flip burgers, or that I carry a cloud of bad energy wherever I go. I'm sorry I can't smile wide enough to block the freeway, or be polite enough to display a brown nose.

Don't give me that "'rules of life' by Bill Gates" bullshit either. There's nothing I can learn from a corporate sycophant who got lucky.

I've got a bit of good news. I've got a job interview on Wednesday.
Welding Stainless Steel, Full Time, at 12 buck an hour. Oh yeah I'm excited!I have to take a welding test on Monday  and if I pass it they'll put me to work.

I'm kind of amazed at How quickly I got the call. It was literally  a few hours after I e-mailed my resume in that I got the call.

I'm so excited. This is my chance to get my foot in the door and get the experience I need to really start my career. Oh yeah, and I won't be as broke as I am right now.
I still plan to continue my education because this will be just a job if I master everything there is to welding I will have a great career as a Superstar Welder. I'm really hoping this place (which I think is with a company called Demmer Corp.) will allow me to continue my course work.

From my last entry it is apparent that something had angered/upset me and I now have a chance to explain what it was.

 

Since Easter I had been in talks with a hotel over a job for the summer whilst I'm not at University and on Monday I had my interview. The interview itself went really well and they basically said I had the job though would need to check up with my reference, who is a manager at another hotel run by the same company. Later that afternoon I received a phone call from them informing me that the reference they had been given was unsatisfactory and if they were to offer me the job I would need to provide another referee to save me, which I did. I now wait to hear over the next few days to see if my new reference can reverse things around in my favour again and win me the job.

 

So yeah, it was a bit of a kick in the teeth hearing that. Obviously, when I finished my last job where I worked for the man who gave me the poor reference I had asked him if he was happy to do so and he had said, "yes". And to be honest I fail to see how it could have been bad. I'd been reliable and done the work asked of me. I did drop a few things in the kitchen but that shouldn't have been enough to change their minds, could it? My brother worked there at the same time as me and had been late on several occasions and had been given a formal warning that he would be sacked. Did he confuse us?

 

Oh well nothing I can do now. Though if I don't get it my plans for the summer do change slightly. With exams next week my only concern is with passing them and advancing into second year and going home on either the 1st or 2nd June. And after that I want to take a break as it has been a long year and I'm tired from the effort and comittment I've been putting in, so if I don't get the job I don't know if I will have the energy to get up and go after another and even then that wouldn't be easy as I'd imagine they'd be taken.

 

And with this rather longer than normal entry I shall call it a day.

I have an interview tomorrow... I'm looking forward to it insanely... I 've been wanting a new job for a long while now. I went out driving tonight to scout out where it was so I'd have no problems finding it tomorrow. It was a little further away then I originally thought but tha's okay, it's still quite close.

 

It's for a "Console Operator" or in other words, petrol station attendant at a 24hr petrol station between here (Canberra) and Sydney. Although it's only just across the state border. I'm really hoping to get this job. *REALLY* Hoping....
