Quarterly "I Need A Job" thread

I am looking for a job too, part time. I am thinking of getting a Construction job this summer.

 

I've just got a full time offer for next summer when I graduate. Does anyone know how binding they are?

i.e. can I have pure senioritis my last semester or should I look for back up job, apply to grad schools, and continue to do school work at an unhealthy level?

Personally I'm very excited about this job and would love to work there when I graduate. Just wondering how binding it is.

 

talk about a bad trip down memory lane.

 

Miguel, aren't most retail places just hiring for the holidays? Might have to wait a bit.

 

Try Frys in Clear Lake. They've been hiring.

 

I got a nice cushy job delivering furniture for 8 bucks an hour and I get paid weekly.

 

Not at all binding. They can fire you whenever they want, why do you think they'd be required to give you a job they promised?

 

Yes, it is called employment at will, which gives you the right to quit whenever and them the right to terminate you.

 

how did you get an application. i've been hesitant to go up because of all the construction work.

 

Yeah I graduated last December, did good in school, have ok experience (did the internship thing, some freelance stuff), but I still can't get on anywhere. Seems I still don't have enough experience or the right connections or some other crap. Here's hoping '05 will be A LOT more promising than '04.

 

To apply at that Fry's you have to go to the one on I45 and apply there and get trained there.

 

I'm a college student coming home for the holidays. Should I just go up to any retail store and ask if they are hiring? I looked around and didn't see any job postings.

Also, I am leaving for about 10 days... will anyone hire someone who will be gone for 10 days?

 

You would go into a retail store and volunteer to work for them during the holidays?

brave man.

 

I have a ticket that I have to pay, so I would like to get it over with before I start up class again.

 

Library Jobs

i'm a circ. asst. at Freeman. it's the easiest job there is and pay isn't bad. and the co workers and bosses are cool as hell.

 

How long have you been there? I live walking distance to Freeman. My wife and I go there often. Are you that skinny guy that works there?

My wife has 8 years high school teaching experience and applied for some library jobs a few months back. She never heard anything from the library positions she applied for (such as "children's assistant librarian" or whatever). What's your secret?

 

i've been there since early October. i'm the asian guy down in customer service. i work nights.

yeah, it took them about a month and half before calling me for an interview. it's a county job. they're very slow about that stuff. plus, you ahve to pass the typing test.

i interviewed with 3 of the older ladies of the library. different positions are interviewed by different people. when i asked them why they chose me, my supervisor said i was just relaxed, answered concisely, and had a sense of humor (i actually cracked a couple of jokes that i thought ruined it for me). after working there, i can tell she hires people who aren't too serious. but, we get the job done.

 

i work for the city library.

the one downtown.

im a senor circ library ass.

about three out of four white librarians are gay.


freeman is a new library.
