So I got a job a little over a month ago working for Kodak at Wet N’ Wild although it was the second position that asked me to come in for an interview I was in need of a job and was happy that I would be working. I enjoy what I do and enjoy working with the people there, though to sum it up as a whole, the job SUCKS. I never work anymore, I’ve worked a total of 1 hour since the 24th which is over a week ago, and not working makes life so much harder.
I have probably applied for well over or close to 100+ different jobs and I have gotten a call from 2 of them. I understand that a lot of people are out of jobs right now and there are probably a lot of people applying for jobs but damn it call me and let me show you why I want to work for your damn company and let me work gosh darn it. Just without working life isn’t working right now, I cant pay bills, I can barely buy food when its needed, people say that “people live pay check to pay check,” I’m not even doing that right now. I have applied to places to deal with my degree (even if they want 5+ years experience), banks, retail stores, resturants for hosting, bussing or even serving, I have even applied for Fast Food (which to me is lowest of low) and they haven’t even called me back. I know people are going to say, “keep your head up”, “something will come up soon”, etc, but when I’ve been doing what I can to get a damn job, and no one is calling it doesn’t help. I mean come on, I can bearly have one job and Courtney has two jobs now. I am now regretting this move, thinking it may be better off with how cheap everything is down here but when you don’t work and what not, this isn’t working. I dont have the money to move back, I dont have the money to move to St. Pete where I would be closer to some family, I dont have money to do anything. Why can’t everything just be free.
Really sorry that you’re having a difficult time!
Brandon, let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. Maybe help polishing up your resume? or to get you on to a professional networking site like linkedin.com.
