It's US shit economy and president

Try harder their is over 365 days in a year and you only got 10 interviews tats still 355 days you could have been trying harder

Agreed. Wait a while into 2017 and let Trump fix it. Then OP can find a job.

10 interviews in a year

are you lazy nigger?

there is no reason you shouldn't have a job right now. seriously

>mfw I start my new job tomorrow making $20/hour
>mfw no education or certifications
>mfw you are probably black

I got hired for a $14 an hour plus commission. took my drug test, got emailed a start date.

the day before i start, he emails me the job got canceled

it was about one interview a month i got. no car, limited money

Get a better profession. Stop being lazy.

i hope so. it seems weird i am capable of succeeding in every aspect except finding a stable 9-5 job

14 an hour is shit pay. I'm not even graduated making $15 an hour part time. My friend is making $19. Do something else.

Sorry, an immigrant taking less pay took your job you shmuck

plus commission; it was a sales job. i only need around $2500 a month

Most here are correct, user. You are being a lazy, stupid nigger. Trump won't help you. No one will help you.

california had a shit economy before obama though,op is a retard living in a bankrupt welfare state

I don't have a car either, the only cars I've ever had were ones I stole and believe me I wasn't working a steady job in those times.

You live in California, start hitting up staffing agencies. Get a couple profiles and apps filled out for some tonight I guarantee you will hear back from one tomorrow or the next day. Gotta do whatchoo gotta do mate.

>california
did you even try networking at all?

im not even for trump, but obviously something has to be wrong here

where's your face, bitch

I am going to be up until 6 AM. i will google staffing agencies and apply to anything i can tonight

I had an interview today. My interviewer asked me, "What's your favorite part about this job?" I responded, "I love the job for how unique it is. Every day is different, which is why I pursued the career in the first place. I can pour my heart into this job because I don't view it as a source of income, I view it as a source of personal improvement. I look at where I was, where I am now, and where I can be, and it's been such an eye opening experience for me. That's easily my favorite part about the job."

I was hired immediately for an ~80k/year job as a waiter in a fancy steakhouse. They've been interviewing for a new server for around two months and haven't been able to find the right candidate.

You just have to know how to sell yourself, it's not always about trying to be perceived as the best candidate.

niggernomics

Fair enough. Why obviously?

california is perfect if you already have a foundation... parents making money, a home to sleep in that doesnt take your whole check. yes, i went to ADT security job interview in LA you just reminded me lol

not the user you responded to but that's your best bet. they don't even care about the resume they just want someone to work. some pay weekly too so that's always good

california is the richest state in the richest country, and i cant find a job

That's almost true, except the part where you're dead wrong.

I went without work in the first half of 2016 with the exception of a small MTV pilot that never went to air.

Then picked up a new job in September and now making more money than I've ever made in my entire life.

L.A. Sup Forumsro here, user. Hang in there. Things will get better. What do you do what kind of work are you in?

Right on dude I wish you the best. I know something will work out for you, a job is a job and will pay the bills no matter the hourly wage don't let anyone keep you down.

Indeed. But how are you qualified? And what are you applying for?

how old are you, though ?

i congratulate you, that is a rare opportunity you took advantage of

Same story here in AZ bro, nobody is hiring other than the usual retail (at a slower rate) but with the catch that you can't be too tech savvy, since tech is killing retail.

Check out Amazon flex, even if it says they aren't in your city download the app anyways there might be a pilot program in your area.

Also, try this;
>go to Walmart, get nice work clothes (dickies)
>shave off your beard or stache, facial hair is a minus to interviewers because it signals individuality
>ride bus to next interview if you have nice car, they do watch you as you walk back to it
>lie about having minority grandparents (if white, asian, if brown, exaggerate)

I too live in a liberal shithole also known as Tucson, so not only is there less economic activity but there is also a high percentage of Hispanics, who don't hesitate to take advantage of affirmative action mind sets despite being the local majority.

Also, don't sound desperate, interviewers hate that.

thanks, look at this shit man. i feel like god is picking on me like bruce almighty shit

sales and technician jobs, i have experience in both. i specialize in like cable technician stuff more though

I heard about amazon in vegas, i wanna go there.

also, i worked in a place with 95% mexicans as a temporary and they wouldnt keep me

I'm 24 in ten days, only have 6 months serving experience and 4 months bartending experience.
It's really not a rare opportunity, restaurants are always constantly holding interviews & hiring. Now, 80k/yr is a little more rare, but for someone like OP, even a shitty 20k/yr job at IHOP is better than nothing.

If we were to ask you: What do you THINK is happening? What do you THINK that MAYBE is turning off the employers?

Sorry for calling you a lazy nigger. I had a rough day.

this is the op. lol. okay, so where were you at 22 ? also, did you have parents and a car and a place to rest peacefully ? i am going through some pursuit of happyness shit... not a typical life and a 80k (more than 85% of humans on earth) job given to me for a good interview reply which i do already

honestly, i just feel like i have a bad streak, there is always going to be several to choose from, and i was independently not selected.

perhaps i dont give the responses they want, or perhaps i seem phony (because i really hate the 9-5 ideology),

but i do well in interviews. yet i dont get chosen for a target job

Look. I was about where you were at 22. You should know that 80k is a lot. A lot of people want that salary. Remember that. You are wrong to think that 80k is easy to get. It isn't. You have to be better than lots of others to get it.

what ?? i just complimented you by telling you that is more than what 85% of humans on earth make

don't define yourself with 80k... there are people above you as well who would laugh at that, but i do agree 80k is amazing

Well, there you go, user. Do you think people are looking for guys who hate 9 to 5 hours? C'mon, dude! Don't whine in your fucking interview. People want someone they can rely on. When you are interviewing, think this: Would I rely on someone who is answering this question how I'm about to answer it?

i dont make that an obvious thing, though. i perform well, that is just a deep, personal thought

stop being lazy and learn a trade.

I was living in a friends basement. When I was 19, I weighed over 300 pounds and was pretty obese. I worked in a shitty grocery store bakery with depression up until I was 22 but managed to lose about 130 pounds on the way. When I hit my weight goal, I still had pretty bad social anxiety so I decided that to get rid of a fear you need to face it and got a job as a server, where I'd be forced into constant social situations. After I got over the fear and mastered social situations, I saw new opportunities in the field and started bartending, making decent money. Now that I've got this new job I've got new goals set up to get into MMA, quit smoking, get a Master's degree in computer science, etc.

It's all about setting up goals and following them man. Realistic goals that are designed for you & by you, not goals that society tells you to chase. I'm in no rush to finish uni, probably won't go back until I've gotten my MMA goal down in a year or so. Don't rush things, take them slowly and know that you'll get where you're supposed to be eventually. Keeping that mindset is the key to life, in my experience. Everyone's different, though.

Best advice I can give, without knowing you as all, is to make damn sure it's not an 'obvious thing'

That wasn't me responding, just some shmuck

Planet Nibiru draws ever closer and what are you faggots doing? Wasting your time on the internet jerking your tiny dicks to traps and nigger cuck porn. Well I got news for you: Obama has no intention of leaving office for he is the 44th king of Babylon. Blood will flow from every nation and fire will rain from the sky. You will all beg for death as you are buried in the ashes of your loved ones but death will not come. Humanity will be plunged into eternal darkness. Say your prayers, faggots..

You are bringing up personal goals now, nothing to do with the work and job industry...

I have personal goals I have worked on as well, and have major success in, but i dont want to talk about that. i dont need help with that. i need help with why i cant find a job or advice. not bragging man

my bad, i think of adam sandler's 2006 "click" when you say schmuck

It happens.

Planet Nibiru draws ever closer ? Is it like a rogue planet, frozen and flying wanderlessly in space ?

Or like an advanced planet that can move the entirety of itself ? if you have that technology, why would they need to come here ? lol

Maybe you're just retarded and no one wants to hire a retard.

you make one dollar more than him you faggot.

Also, you might think you have solid interviewing, but you never really know. A really, really good interview will get you hired. It's not about being qualified, it's about saying the right things and wanting the job for the right reason. Honestly, they're probably looking at your resume and saying, "This kid hasn't had a job all 2016. If he hasn't put his heart into getting even a job at McDonald's, why is he going to put his heart into our position?" That's straight fact, a lot of resumes actually ask for an explanation for even a 3 month gap.

I had a 4 month gap in jobs, I told my interviewer that I had left my last job because I wasn't comfortable working there because I'd been robbed after closing in the bar, and didn't have time to take up a new position because I started to help take care of my grandmother who's in stage 4 Alzheimer's when my uncle couldn't afford to hire someone to take care of her. Only a half-truth, but it gave me the sympathy vote and it all added up.

Even if you just have to say that you've straight up been depressed but are coming out of it and have been feeling extremely motivated to get into a new, productive work environment because you want a place to grow and have some sort of work you can devote yourself to, you'll change their perception of your depression from bad to good. You just have to know how to spin it.

It's valid OP. You have to consider it.

But....Stephen Hawking. Just saying

i've shown no signs of mental impairment and at least qualify for basic work, as i've been hired prior and have unique and helpful experience

Why the fuck would you want a job being a cable guy? Anyone can do that. That's why you're not getting hired.

You fucking shmuck, work and the job industry is a goal. You're not viewing it as one and therefore have no success in the field. You need to find a job you can view as a goal so you can put your heart into it. Look at your goals and decide what kind of job you need in your life and you'll kill the interview

proof i do a pretty good interview

just look at my life bro, does this not seem like the universe is against me. no call back

I am 22, I am currently getting a CDL (class tomorrow), and thinking about joining the electricians union

look at the screenshot i posted right before this. im trying man

Do you have a degree?

No, just High School diploma and one year of college. i pursued a personal goal in the mean time that has been good

Well that's why you aren't getting called back.

now i need a 4 year degree to get a entry level job

thanks, we figured it out together man

I get it man, I was jobless for 4 months just before I landed this waiter job and I felt like I was giving it my all, had about 8 interviews in the 4 month period. Looking back, 8 interviews in 4 months is nothing. You don't need a 40k/yr job or anything man, just go to some local 3-4 star steakhouses or chain restaurants and ask to talk to a manager. Restaurants are hiring ALL THE TIME. You might only be making 5-600 a week, but that's 5-600 a week more than you're making now. Plus, it leads to better paying jobs with the experience.

i'm not opposed to the idea, i just don't perform well in food environments. i will try it

It helps to be extraordinarily handsome, though. And well-spoken.

But you seem well-spoken.
I believe in you man, you just have to lower your expectations for now. Just until you're out of the hole you feel you're in.

I didn't perform well as a server at first either, you get better as you go
I've seen some really dumb people become really good servers, and you seem intelligent. What's your IQ? 115-118?

not sure if that was directed towards me,

but thanks, just seems like a time thing

definitely will get better with time, and it has a lot of openings like you said.

im not sure, i took an IQ test in psychology a few years ago and got 134, but i wanna take a more legitimate test

alright yall... gonna go to staffing agencies, and some restaurants and continue applying.

thanks for the advice

can you guess how many times a day that HR guy says that little 'you did great, let me check it out for ya' spiel? thats not proof of a good anything.

Easiest way to get ahead in California, is to cross the border and become a Mexican citizen. Then sneak back across, making you an illegal alien. Then California will take care of you and give you welfare and food stamps and housing and a check every month. Also San Francisco is a sanctuary city. You can literally do anything you want as an illegal and not get arrested.

I don't get how you cucks are this retarded. It's not shit just because some few fags can't find jobs. Unemployment is lower than it's ever been. And the economy is doing well because of Obama.
