>tfw finally got a job
There is hope robots, I've been applying for a long time and I have finally managed one
>>27984441
Where is it at?
>>27984441
Congrats, anon. I just got two interviews scheduled at a grocery store and dunkin' donuts. I hope I get good results. We're gonna make it.
>>27984441
Howd you do it anon? Please tell me your secrets.
Ive been applying online and cant even get an interview.
>>27984468
Congrats m8!!
I had four interviews a couple weeks ago and got a wagecuck job which is part time perfect to get me to slowly come out of neetdom
>>27984536
You have to bullshit your application and pump it up with nonsense like team player
Post resume on /biz/ and see what happens
>Hope
For what, money? Job =/= happiness. I don't understand why do people make that assumption.
>>27984468
>dunkin donuts
prepare to kill yourself
>>27984876
Free coffee and donuts is comfy
>>27984455
It's nothing special, minimum wage work but the schedule is very flexible and I can mostly chose whenever I wan to work.
>>27984468
Good luck anon, make sure you dress well, have a strong handshake, keep eye contact and dress well again, check even the back of your shoes, ask any questions to seem interested, exercise a small smile in the mirror so you don't seem dead inside, but this exposure may be what we need to make it. Great art saved
>>27984536
I used to have a shity CV anon, but with the help from a job center I managed to do some better modifications, have name, email in a header at the top, always start with what you are currently doing, I had the fact that I study so this gives them the idea that I will be around for a while, I also had some bullshit voluntary work from high school that was basically moving some chairs, giving some food, cleaning the school yard and shit.
Put the start and end date of everything you did in the past, and even if you don't have maybe make up some voluntary work in school, and at each make one or two bullet points on the stuff that they are most likely looking for such as "Displayed great communication skills by working on a team to ensure that x shit was ran properly" or "Listened to the customer/person in need and understood his situation".
You then must have qualifications and skills, highschool diploma, whatever other certificates you might have such as completing, put in any languages that you can speak, and end with a bit on leisure interests, and have a line that says "References on request" at the end. Try to have it all only on one A4 page.
Thing is make sure you have, words such as team work, communication, and so on, social stuff.
It helps if the site where you apply has you do some questions, complete some stuff online, as it takes a while, but if you go through it it shows you are interested and not a lazy fuck.
Calling in yourself might be the best option, I might try it for an internship myself.
>>27984441
That feels pic is really intense.
>>27984979
ok
is there anything you'd like to know about working there?
>>27984754
Just as me anon, hope you reward yourself with something nice on the payday in two weeks, but make sure to save some too
>>27984859
Money > braces, VR > happiness for me anon
>>27985023
No i used to work at the canadian version of it and it was a/comfy/ job
>>27985119
it was the worst shit of my life
Re.
also they used to have tim hortons in my state and i miss it
thx
>night shift stocking at walmart in a small town
It's going to be alright, right? I won't have to worry about seeing too many people at night beyond maybe thanksgiving to christmas?
Can't be much worse than a call center, I've never wanted to actually kill myself as much as when I worked there.
>>27984876
>>27984468
I worked there and it was all right.
My friend worked one of the best shifts, 6 to midnight, but I worked one of the worst shifts which was midnight to 6AM.
5 nights out of the week it was mostly dead except for the odd university student studying there and truckers passing through. Friday & Saturday had a rush of teenagers and drunk people shortly after 3AM when all the local bars closed and then during the week there was a steady flow of people coming in around quarter to five.
As I was leaving my shift at 6-ish, there would be a lineup of people to the door as the other workers struggled to keep up.
>>27984441
You will hate it
>>27985233
no. worst shift is 5-6am-12-1pm
>>27985156
Im sorry to hear that anon
My place you could take any food that you want, get to book days off , had nice regulars and it felt like a nice family.
>>27985322
5am to 1pm was my jam the shift went by so quick it was great
>>27985188
Sounds safe and comfy anon, make sure you have your phone charged so you won't get bored to death
>>27984441
The nightmare has just begun my friend.
Well, since you Murican, it might not be so bad. But here in Brazil all these blue collar jobs are not only suicide inducing but also a dead end. You go nowhere.
>>27985454
Yeah but it's a step forward from neetdom where he can get something else later on
>>27984441
great op thats first step to a normie life
also getting out everyday and doing something really helps my mental health idk if its the same for others
I just got hired at some chocolate shop in my town and cant wait to start
>>27985354
well, mine was like that too but still hated it
maybe i'm broken or something :^\
>>27985384
>early morning when no pots are brewed
>3 boxes of joes ordered
>line starts growing
>>27985510
>I just got hired at some chocolate shop in my town and cant wait to start
how old are you anon?
i got one too
then quit after a month
id ratehr get neet bux for the rest of my life and never lift a finger again to do some bullshit menial task that some stupid fucking robot could do instead
>>27985537
Maybe i was just better at the job than you and that's why i liked it more
>>27985510
Comgrats anon that's great news soon you'll be talking to normies and feel like it's nothing
>>27984441
Aha I got two today, was looking for MONTHS and then two come along at once. Such a joke.
>hired
welcome back to hell
>>27985510
I really hope you, me and everyone here seeking it get into the normie life with help from the exposure to being social our jobs will offer
>>27984441
Currently putting in 2 apps a day.
How many did you do to finally get hired?
>>27985643
Iktf anon, got mine just as I got out of the gym and I was like fuck why is my mom calling again, then I saw it was some random number and instantly thought FINALLY
>job lnterview tomorrow
>>27985834
Ahaha they hit you when you least expect it, what's your job for?
>started applying online yesterday
>applied to like 6 things
>have two interviews to go to
git gud
>>27985643
I got three of the four that offered jobs to me and took the first one that hired me. Later on i got calls for two other places i called...feels good being wanted
>>27985803
Probably a total of around 20, many with a more shity version of my CV, this job is like the last I applied for around this time last month, then I given up but seems like it took them a while to call.
With 2 apps a day you should do great, and most like receive at least a call.
>>27985860
You can do it google tips and dress well and have eye contact and a strong handshake
>>27985875
Staff member for any sorts of events that will require people to set everything up and make sure all runs through correctly, probably nothing for many but a first for me.
What offers did you get?
>>27985905
That's a fine thing to happen to a robot. Congrats man :)
What's your line of work? If you don't mind me asking
>>27984441
Hope it goes well anon, shame about the quads but I'm surely the wagebux will make up for that
>>27985981
Hey that'll be decent, you'll get to go to decent places and sounds like it won't get boring. Just getting a first job is so important.
I got one for some work at a recording studio and one as a bicycle courier delivering food from restaurants around town. Company's called Deliveroo, might not have heard them if you're from outside the uK
>>27985860
Remember the STAR method for answering shit like "describe a time when you were faced with a challenge"
>>27986006
Thanks brobot!
My line of work is shitty wagecucking at a dollar store. It's very easy and so far i'm just getting a shift or two a week with promises of more training and more work later. This is best for me since im recovering from a sickness (also depression) and it eases myself back into work and dealing with people. I feel so good about it that eventually i think i could go for another job with more hours later on and eventually get back into my field
>>27986129
That sound ideal man, as long as you're doing something and getting some interaction! Experience will help too. Don't wanna be patronising but proud of u <3
Stay strong bros.
I started work about 3 weeks ago and it does wonders. Getting out and socialising with people every day helps immensely. I already feel like a different person.
why in god's name can i not get a job. i've applied everywhere except for fast food and will stay a NEET if that's what it'll come to. i guess this what happens with you're 21 with no job experience and only a GED.
>>27986221
No no you don't sound patronizing at all this is the kind of thing i need to hear now since i've been so down on myself for so long i feel like i'm going forward and taking a step in the right direction for once. I get others that don't know my story may think me a loser but they're just a bunch of normalfags anyway. Screw 'em
Thanks man
>>27984441
>worked the same wagecuck fast food job for 10 years
>new owners
>miss one shift and have one bad shift
>immediately get shitcanned
>NEET ever since, 2 years now
like what the fuck do I do, do I just leave them out of my CV entirely? Aren't future employers going to call them up and they'll be like "NO ANON IS NO GOOD WE FIRE HIM DO NOT HIRE HIM"
Can I bullshit my reason for being fired was that they were "restructuring"? It's half true after they did fire most of the staff after the first month & cut hours and I managed to last a little while longer.
and at least my old manager was never part of that nonsense since she was also technically fired by the owners. maybe I can use her as a reference.
pls help
>>27986290
What's your resume like? you should post it on /biz/ so they can help you out and fix it. Remember you have to really embellish your resume and skills so they hire you. Things like organized, team player, etc will all help you
>>27985981
Nah I'm in the UK, good luck anon, bicycle delivery during the summer sounds comfy as hell but after watching Straight Outta Compton a few days ago recording studio might be the one I would pick. Which one do you wanna go with if you get accepted to both?
>>27986044
At least this keeps their memory alive, checked
>>27986337
Don't mention it unless they ask and use the manager that likes you as a reference
>>27986290
fluff that resume bot.
>>27986310
Yeah I've heard getting the job as you leave depression is the best thing to do. Gets you out and earning, socialising and making your own way in the world
Oh hello, upcoming wage slave, hows that first day doing?
What do you say? You are optimistic that your life will be better and you can take chances to build up on your job to a career, finally being rich at 54?
Well do that, i sit here and educate myself more than im already am.
At the age of 54 i will have managed to attain enlightenmend. Meanwhile you will be an alcohol addict with 3 divorces behind you, 3 wives and 2 kids that don't live with you, they took all the dogs too.
Comfy drinking my coco and enjoying planting my own crops in my garden i financed through neetbux.
I hope you will find peace, wageslave.
Good for you anon, at least someone here can
>>27986044
>tfw gone full retarded with the replies
Nah I'm in the UK, good luck anon, bicycle delivery during the summer sounds comfy as hell but after watching Straight Outta Compton a few days ago recording studio might be the one I would pick. Which one do you wanna go with if you get accepted to both?
>>27986374
Thanks :) Yeah man the delivery is cool, I live in Surrey hills so pretty hard work but will help me get fit. Did 40miles in a trial shift today, hard as hell but awesome and the people are nice!
Yeah it's really cool, I might try do studio for the week then deliver all day on the weekends. need to get fit and might as well get paid for doing it
>>27986376
So I shouldn't put "reasons for departure" on my CV for past jobs to get around that? Considering that I got fired from it and it was also the only place that I worked at for more than just 3-4 months.
>>27986337
Just like anon said before, with so many years of experience you might be able to get a management position for a better salary too, if they really go deep just make up some stuff like you saved some money and wanted to travel and live on the road and after 2 years and many journeys you are back home. I get the feeling I saw your post before, you posted this before right? Last month maybe
>>27986397
That's good to know actually and sounds pretty true it is helping out especially since most people are pretty nice
I have some other problems but i'm going through act therapy which is helping. I dunno anon i think progress is being made
>tfw anxiety issues
>went to interview at an industrial laundry
>get through initial interview questions ok
>he starts asking me STAR questions
>forgot all about STAR a long time ago
>havent been to an actual interview like this in years
>blurt out some stupid shit, unable to properly describe what i did or answer his question correctly
>i see the wtf look on his face getting more and more pronounced as i ramble on
>suddenly the interview ends
>thanks well be in touch
>he never called back
>tfw i blew it
>>27986523
When you feel progress comes, it can help accelerate the process and make you feel good. Getting employment is a decent boost.
What's act therapy like? I'm about to start CBT but idk if it's what I need
>>27986474
Yeah don't put that on a resume only applications that ask and if it says just say it was company restructuring. I'm sure most interviews it won't even come up it never did for me
>>27986444
>dubs and trips of 4's in a row
You are on a good road anon, might as well screen your posts so you don't forget, if you have the time you might as well do both and get them leg gains, good luck anon :)
>>27986590
Thankyou anon and ahah those odds clearly key smiles on me.
Best of luck to you too :)
W-whats STAR?
>>27986541
What is STAR?
Also continue to apply anon, if you have gotten an interview you can get more in the future, and know you will know that you have to be even more prepared for it.
It does not end here
>>27986620
*kek fuck off autocorrect
>>27986624
>>27986638
Situation Task Action Result
it's a method of answering common interview questions.
>>27985557
>stupid robot
That's you
>>27986557
I think so too. It's not even the money i know it's chump change and i plan to save it all as much as possible it's mostly just about getting out into the world again.
Act stands for acceptance and commitment therapy which is a response to CBT so it kind of is like it. It thinks that accepting your moods like fear, anxiety and depression can help overcome them whereas CBT is all about changing thought patterns. I think both are okay but i have an act book i got from a therapist a while back so i'm using it. Gives me hope
>>27985557
>stupid robot
That's you b
>>27986659
O-ohh okay
>>27986490
>you might be able to get a management position for a better salary too
hmm, I don't know about that. I have years of experience, but it's years of always doing the same thing. I did actually sort of train the new staff there and I was often offered the chance to be a sort of sub-manager but the thought of it makes my stomach turn 2bh and I turned it down. The last thing I'd want is to have to manage a bunch of 17 year old stoner kids who were made to get a job for the summer by their rich parents and call in "sick" every weekend.
I'm more than okay with working minimum wage for minimal responsibility since I have minimal expenses right now. Plus if it was me interviewing myself for a managerial postion, I would not hire myself.
>if they really go deep just make up some stuff like you saved some money and wanted to travel and live on the road and after 2 years and many journeys you are back home
oh yeah, I actually did do that once so it shouldn't be too hard to lie about that.
>I get the feeling I saw your post before, you posted this before right? Last month maybe
Yeah probably, and probably the month before and the one after that as well. Thanks for the advice!
>>27986585
Good to know senpai. Thanks.
What if you have sweaty hands normally? How do you not look unemployable???
>>27984441
>had job interview
>boss and interviewer are really cool and nice
>boss asks if I have gf or am married
>spaghetti dropped hard, give them this autistic look
They still employed me, still work there.
>>27986761
No problem anon, good luck as long as you are happy with that position stay on it and do your thing.
Next time you go on a journey put this on and remember me :(

Either bring yourself some tissues in one of those portable packs and wipe your hands down before meeting the guy, or worst case scenario just half-joke half-apologize about it.
Greetings Wagecucks. Mid-week stress wearing you down?
While you slave away for the boss man i indulge myself in the finest theorys of all mankind.
And while you go home to watch cuck liberal TV Shows as a follow-up to your brain dead jobs, I have all the time in the world to enrich myself with knowledge that puzzled the greatest minds of the 20th century.
But dont worry normies. I'm sure you can enrich yourself on the weekends. That is if you do not have a hangover from the Friday night drinking you partake in to ease the misery of your pathetic lives.
>>27987465
Who unironically watches TV these days?
>>27987505
tv=netflix
>>27987465
"enriching yourself" without every applying that knowledge is like making a cake from scratch, right down to harvesting your own eggs and wheat and everything - and then letting all the batter and icing and everything just sit on the counter until it rots away and never putting it in the oven to actually bake it.
But we both know that you don't actually enrich yourself, your just make desperate frogposts in a board dedicated to memes and stories about POOPOO PEEPEE :^)
>>27987721
Who unironically uses netflix for anything past binging old crappy movies?
>>27988099
shh, it's okay wagie.
Applying the knowledge isn't important. The only thing in the universe is "you" no one else, you just give if you have too. I don't. So i just fill my up with superiour knowledge, to be god some day.
>frogposting
You will never destroy us, reddit.
>>27987465
>>27988174
For someone who spends their days looking up "knowledge", you sure do have a terrible grasp of the English language and how to spell basic words.
>>27988249
>can't make arguments
>starts pulling the grammar jew
Maybe it's because i never visited school after the age of 12, in a country where the english education is very weak. I learned almost all my english from tv shows with subs.
It surely shows your knowledge level, trying to undermine my arguments with grammar flames. kek.
>>27988534
>I learned almost all my english from tv shows with subs.
"while you go home to watch cuck liberal TV Shows" huh?
whooops.
>>27988599
>can't think about that people before neetdom had a normie life
Oh man, you must have had a really rough wageday today huh?
Maybe you should try thinking like a normal person, not like an agressive ape wagie, sorry normie, but i think you have to do taxes or go to sleep now, remember, another day another dollar!
>>27988667
>before neetdom
>before
You said that you never visited school past the age of 12, and then learned English from watching TV shows.
whoooooooooops
>>27988718
This again proves, the non existing logical thinking of the wagie.
Real neetdom begins at the age of 18, before that the state, at least in my country, tries to do everything to get you back to school. But my lazy ass didn't want to so i spend most of my day's on the street with other low life scum. Im sorry i should have explained it, because normies can't think of something like that.
>>27988870
>dropping out of school at 12 like a literal retard
>normie life
you're funny, guy.
Have an interview for a callcentre job in a couple of hours. Any tips?
>furthest I've ever gotten
>>27989232
Relax and treat it like a normal conversation, and look up good ways to answer the questions
>>27989232
During my interview for my current job the interviewers asked me a question phrased like this: What would you do if friends and/or family members came to visit you while at work? My response was: I chuckled and said that's simply not possible...that would never happen. But, if hypothetically that were to happen I would inform my friends and/or family that I would speak to them during lunch / break. I got the job.
>>27986541
Same shit happened to me last week at an interview for a warehouse grunt work job.
>tfw you can't even get hired as a grunt at a warehouse
>>27986413
this shit makes me kek so fucking hard
>>27989964
>>27990905
Think I did alright, hope it turns out well
>>27984441
just dropped by to see whats r9k is about
But i just got 2 interviews at a local pizza shop, and Ruby Tuesday's.
Hope to be employed tomorrow :)
>tfw plan to kill myself after finishing college
>I have something to look forward to
>>27994382
What are studying senpai?
Oooriginal
>>27984441
I'm leaving for an job interview in few hours. Hope I will get the job and save up some money so I can move out from my parents. Too bad it will mean searching for new job all over again.
>>27984441
Enjoy it anon. After the first couple weeks are done you're going to hate everything about it getting up every morning and going to that shitty place.
