Of course, through longevity and being competent, you're not gonna be a manager if you don't learn to work good with people, no matter how long have you been with a company.
Easier if you know someone, but you don't even need to have connections from the beginning, as long as you make good friends with the people in higher places at the company, they will put in a good word for you whenever you are going for that promotion. Still you can't be only a vegetable even if it was your dad's company.

School just seems so much easier. They want you since you pay them thousands (or the goverment does.)
I'm probably going to suck it up and do online applications tomorrow. If that fails, I may do some in person or phone applications.

I put off going to college till I was older and never lived close to campus. Once my classes were done, I was gone to play vidya and browse the internet at home. Going to class with normies was frustrating. I made zero friends. At least in high and middle school I had a couple people that were willing to hang out with me at school.
>>28197517
I used the age excuse (which is partially true), but I know it would have been the same if I had gone 5-10 years earlier.

>>28195227
you basically have a window of time. when you get that application, you make sure that you get a number that you can call them at when they don't call you back.
Tell them that you put in an application and ask them in the nicest terms possible what the fuck is so important that they could be doing that they can't get through a short application and call you back within 3-4 days.
Keep pushing them until they explicitly confirm or deny your application.
it's what I've done with multiple places.
If they do reject you after piddling away your time, make sure to be cruel to them. I had a place string me along for two weeks, and when they explicitly denied me I laid into the person on the other end until they hung up. Fuck that slimy kind of business practice.

Thanks yeah I've looked up Information Systems degree and a lot of companies offer fresh uni graduates jobs for basically any IT related degree I'd probably get into the government sector.
>>28197415
I agree with that too, I've been to basic wagekeks places in person and the best I do is leave my CV there, but if you go for bigger business, you can ask to be showed around, you can ask for an internship, you are most likely to find a person, that isn't the lowest level like the cashier at that previous wagekek please which only said you can leave your CV there, and show your interest to them and raise your chances.
>>28197565
What job familiay?
>>28197594
Gardening section in Meijer
If you need a job. Any job. I'm gonna tell you guys a secret:
go to walmart, or your nation's resident superstore, and apply for cart pusher.
They will hire ANYONE. ANYONE. If you storm in there looking, and smelling, like a grown up sasquatch who's mother still has to wipe his ass they will hire you ON THE SPOT to push carts. No one wants that job, and the people who have it want to be rid of it.
And now the real secret, they will never fire you. If you make any tiny amount of effort, at least bring in a couple carts per hour and don't get caught hiding in the bathroom, and don't pull any no show no call horse shit THEY WILL NEVER FIRE YOU.
Baring harsh psychological treatment from your supervisors and coworkers(I.E. calling you a useless, creepy piece of shit.) its cake.
>>28194107

>>28197695
There's an autistic guy who works at my local theater. He sits on a chair and rips and the tickets and tells you to go left or right for your theater. Takes him at least twenty seconds per person.
For all you fags saying you're supposed to walk in that is bullshit. It's all about chance. Sometimes you'll e what they're looking for and sometimes you won't be. Most times they won't even bother caring to hire and that's why applications don't get anywhere. You need to find a place that's actually hiring.
I applied to 20 places got 1 call back that I fucked up. Luckily I did Fuck up because a be store opened up near e and their online application was 5 questions and you address.
I get a call 4 days later for an interview. I go to the interview and the guy could give two shots about how professional I was or my resume. He just asked when I could work.
By the time I went in for training some jackass walks in and him and the boss cussing and the guy is joking telling me to quit. I got lucky because the entire place is full of the most laid back people you could find that just encourage you to work more shitty hours for more money
Finding a job is a game of chance when it's minimum wage types. You just need to apply at the right time and right conditions.
>>28193976
have you tried not being a lazy entitled little shit?

Funny, in my industry (HVAC) building managers complain even if you do everything perfect. The contract will say we have to do one thing, but they complain and now we have to do it another way. Then they change their minds again. All the while they're calling us useless retards. Now every company is scared to hire anyone with experience because they all have a bad rep.

Lie. Minimum wage jobs don't actually check up on these things. If they ever question you, say the place went out of business.
>>28198237
Never doubt what minimum wages do. It takes two to three interviews to work at Target now.
Applies to 10 jobs online, zero responses. Neet for 6 months so far.
Small city with only 7 IT companies, 30 applications when one of them started hiring. Only picks experienced workers.
This is the kind of shit that kills me inside
You will only get a job if you apply during holidays or for seasonal positions.

I want to become a web developer. My goal is to practice 2-3 hours a day. I might even quit my job and work part time serving tables or something so I can make it an almost full time thing. I already have a "client" that wants a website (for free), I just need to learn the skills.

From what I heard from the people that actually got them, it was data entry for 8 straight hours where they learn nothing and get zero respect
>>28198237
False i've had some that did.
>>28198955
what the fuck
the only unpaid internship i ever had was in high school, and it was basically writing a utility script that they may or may not have ever actually needed to use
>>28193976
Where are you looking? Go on craigslist or just get a gig in the meantime don't give up
>>28198977
Funny thing, one of those data entry guys made a script to do everything for him instantly. The company rejected it and still hire desperate kids just to make them suffer.

Well, I guess it's the NEET life for me.
>>28199032
in fairness, his script may have worked for his data set but not in general
believe me, if all data entry could be automated that easily, there would be no data entry jobs
>>28199105
It worked flawlessly for three weeks before his supervisor found out and made him stop. It was just taking data from one spreadsheet to another.

I feel like this thread has gotten old but im gonna chime in anyway cuz i feel like it'll be helpful to anyone reading this.
I'm a 24 y/o faggot who majored in polisci and wasted my college years partying and fucking bitchez dood. didn't get any internships, no work experience, so just a fucking disgrace.
My only experience has been 1-3 month stints (MAX is 3 months) when i was 15, 16 and then most recently a string of 3 shit jobs (petsmart, barback, and janitor).
If you're just the average 18-25 y/o chump looking for subsistence, my advice is to apply for warehouse and manual labor jobs.
Look up "package observation" on indeed. UPS and Fedex are ALWAYS hiring because loading and unloading is a gruelling, physically demanding job with a high turnover rate.
All i do is exaggerate the tenures of the jobs i've had. I stretch 3 months into two years. These places do the most basic background checks to ensure you're not a felon or pedo. You can lie on your resume/online application and they won't second guess it.
I got hired at UPS, got an offer from fedex (12.60 an hour), and i settled on stocking at target because its not gruelling work and its 11.75.
If you just need a job fast, go for manual labor shit with a high turnover rate. Package handlers, warehouse, stocking, etc. These places literally need warm bodies and that's it. If you're not a massive pussy you can do it.
I'm gonna join the military at the end of the day though because let me tell you younger kids, life after 25 fucking sucks cock. Its just the same, boring monotony everyday.
It should be illegal for a dishwashing job to require a personality test (which takes 30 minutes to complete). And then they don't even call you.
>>28199439
don't do dishwashing unless your a spic. My brother has been in the dishwashing game for a year now.
After a few months all the spics make it extremely uncomfortable to work there and because they've been there so long they force whitey out.
Unless you're a spanish speaker or a spic, do not do dishwashing
>>28199417
Your issue was you went polsci, useless fucking degree. If you wanted to goof off in college, you take marketing or business management or some shit, make connections, join a frat and live high on the hog.
