A certain number of writeups can get you suspended or fired, I would think. It works that way at Staples, except no one at my store ever enforces it, because no one really cares.

HA HAHA!!!! I got a BMW is on the verge of hiring me as a valet/guy who moves cars from dealer to dealer or in the parts department!!!! I just have to go in there and confrim it tomorrow!!!!

I have driven a 5-series into a 45 degree corner at 75 MPH, they truly are the Ultimate Driving Machine in case one of you try to get a dis in about how they suck.

Oh, and I did the same manuver with a Caddilac STS, CTS, and a Mercedes S-class, and their handling sucked, especially Caddilac (Breakthough my ass, they still handle like their ninties counterparts, loads of understeer!)


oh, and it pays hourly. Do you want a job in common electronics NOW?

At Target, three writeups=suspension. I've gotten written up once for not coming in or calling in a day I thought I had off.

Also, I come late at least ten minutes everyday and no one seems to care.

I should probably stop doing that.

Shuddap muke. Stop making me feel like the pathetic loser I secretly try to convice that I'm not.

Anyway, it's really hard getting a job here. I've applied at the hospital, several stores at the mall, GameStop, and some electronic stores.. and I have yet to get one call back from each place. Maybe it's my fault. You see, my number one rule in job hunting is: Do not to get a job dealing with food. Which, limits me alot.

Try calling them and asking about your application. Be an annoying ass about it. Keep asking until you get a definite answer either way. Believe me, you'll get more results like that.

Yeah, Tsui's right (for once). They want you to be annoying. It shows initiative or something, in their minds.

Yeah, in fact, swear at them a little too. It shows authourity. Be like "Bitch, Job, Now!"

Seriously though, call everyday and talk to the same person.

Yeah, I applied at a place and called them every week for 3-4 weeks, and they kept saying "Oh we dunno call back next Monday." The last Monday I forgot to call, and called Tuesday and they were all suspicious like "WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL MONDAY, EHHHH? Oh, well, we dunno. Call next Monday."

Then I got a job at some other place with less work for more pay, in cash, so I said screw them.

It kind of depends on where you're applying, and in particular, the size of the store. I remember back at GameStop, it usually just pissed us off when people continually asked about the status of their applications, to the point that they probably wouldn't have been hired even if the applications hadn't sucked.

The problem with places like that (or any kind of job, for that matter), is that the guy who gets the position is going to be the guy who knows people at the store. The only exception to this is fast food, where they'll take absolutely anybody who puts in an application, from prostitutes to serial killers.

I voted for Popcorn's mom, as she has the least reason to fight. And is Popcorn's mom.

Oh, I'm sorry, were we off topic?

Hey, if it makes you feel any better, the job fell through...MIRACOUSLY! I was literally hours late in turning in the app for BOTH jobs, and since they were doing it on a first come, first serve basis (for hell knows what reason), well...you know what happens.

However, I do know an "in" into the sucessful North Shore dealership franchise known as Kelly, so there's still hope, I'm just not going to shove it in anyone's face in case this happens again.
