job search is failing horribly

Thought you were doing construction...

??

Are you applying to places and not getting called in for an interview? Are you getting interviews and not getting the job? With all those hotels in LV I would think there would be something - pool boy, night porter, delivery etc. Go to a temp agency that deals with manual labor and tell them you are willing to move heavy things. Call every landscaper in the phone book and tell them you can dig a hole.

Go to the college that accepted you and look at the student employment bulletin board, assuming there is one. Or see if they have a student employment office in the administration area. (I got a job from a bulletin board like that years after I had been at the school; it developed into a great job, uh, more or less.)

I was taking one or two classes at the uni extension at the time and had decided to change fields. The people who hired me didn't care if I was at the university, just that I could do the work. And you are accepted as a student.

Most colleges, if not all of them, have employment offices. Also, the state's unemployment office has jobs offers posted on boards. Your next best bet is a temp office, but be ready to sacrifice on the pay vs not working.

me too. i was sitting around for four hours and they were like, well everyone else can head home, come back next week.

:/

you're telling me you're in Vegas and can't find a job at a casino? Even a menial one? Damn....

BPB, the poor economy has hit the gambling industry as well...

ive been to all of the upscale ones, this new one encore might be hiring.

i know u have heard the saying, its not what u know, its who u know.

im not hispanic, that literally cuts my jobs prospects. no drivers license, that cuts them even further.

encore is my only hope. whee....

Remind me why you don't have a driver's license. If you are willing to work as hard as latinos for latino wages you might be able to beat them out, but the driving thing is a big problem.

because i need a car to take the driving test.

Don't you have any friends who can lend you one for a few hours? Someone in your extended family? Can you actually drive?

Onion, the driving thing needs attention immediately, no excuses.

After that...

Are you good with your hands? (hand tools, drill, level...)

Vegas has lots of work for guys who set up and tear down things. Show sets, office furniture, convention displays.

Lets's look into some of those if you like, and I may be able to grease a wheel. (or not)

Rock

yeah, as soon as i get a car im set on the driving thing, unfortunately i will have to buy my own vehicle in order to take that gay ass test. why do you need a license any fucking way. dear god. so gay. uncles brand new car, wont let me use it, moms husbands new truck, wont let me drive it.

hoo.
ray.


gaygaygay. oh well, i cant do anything, society is stupid. thats my theory and im sticking to it.

im trying to get into teamsters, i guess there is a long wait until i get on any lists.

oh my homegirl said she has a hook up at the pipefitters union, jesus christ, im telling you, it aint WHAT YOU KNOW, its WHO YOU KNOW.

i dont know if its a sure thing though, i fucking hope i get something. im down 30 bucks, oh no. poker killz me everytimez.

470.00 and counting.

So, your problem isn't not having a car but not having a license? And your plan is to buy a car and then get your license? Not sure you can purchase a vehicle without a license.
I wouldn't let you use my brand new car either. Get real. That is so gay.

welfare groups may sometimes help. Salvation Army.
Are there state/federal employment programs?

Have you asked a commercial driver ed outfit how much it would cost to use one of their cars?

You can buy a car anytime anywhere, but usually (it varies a bit State to State) you can not tag it without a valid license, AND insurance...

DMV will check both before you can test.

yeah, thats my fucking point.
thankts for agreeing tho.

Bingo. You can usually go to a driver's ed company and just have 1 "lesson", which is the trip for your road test.
