I need a summer job and nowhere will hire me.
I applied about 30 places. Got one interview. Got rejected because I'm going to uni out of town in the fall.

I need the money for next year, too. I applied to 3 temp agencies today - hopefully one of them will take me.

Also, I'm applying to McDonalds. Fuck social conscience, I need money.

2. good luck, but a lot of us under employed adults are taking your summer and PT jobs
Edited on Thu Jun-11-09 05:29 PM by NightWatcher
I am making $8 an hour as a delivery driver/warehouse worker for a parts warehouse. I have ten years experience in my field AND two college degrees.

Good luck with the job hunt, study hard in the Fall and get a good job where you wont ever have to work for damn near minimum wage after graduation.

btw, did I mention, I'm pooped? It was 97 degrees here and I busted my hump all day.

3. Can you pet-sit?
I would love to find a reliable pet sitter where I live. Maybe you could advertise in your neighborhood.

Good luck to you. :hug:

4. Go through the telephone yellow pages and send out resumes to places that
are right down your alley.

5. My daughter's graduating high school tomorrow and is in the same boat.
It's pretty grim this year for summer jobs.
