Looking for a new job.......

[Tim224DT]

Im looking for a new job my boss is messed up. He told someone else to come into work in the morning because i would have the day off. Well my boss never told me not to come in to work. So i got up went to work at 6:00 am i had to get up at 4:30 am. I went to work and saw this other guy there and so i called my boss and he started yelling at me at 6am in the morning i was like why didnt you call me and tell me not to come into work. So now im looking for a new job. He has been doing stuff to me like this latly so im done playing his games.

Any Ideas????

20y/o College student easy to get along with and hard worker.

I would advise if you are unhappy at your current job to leave. I hung in a year too long much to the detriment of my stomach and probably my liver.

There have been a bunch of jobs that were just great in my past and you just need to find one. Put a resume together, clean up nice and start looking.

I called a few different places. I already have a resume and set up a few interviews already for today. I didnt know if anyone would say hey check this place out.

Nice work on getting out of that situation, some of these bosses really are complete -------- (fill in the blank ).

Good luck with the job hunt, maybe you won't have to get up as early for the next one.

My son Trevor is a 20-yr-old college student, and he was hired the day he walked into Quality Inn Suites to apply, and began training that night. He's been there since May and will return to college in a couple three wks, then work there over Christmas break. He likes it MUCH better than the grocery store job he had for the past two summers prior. And the pay is better. He did not have a resume, but did attach his grades/gpa sheet and looked nice, speaks well, has an army haircut...

Front desk work, already got one raise. Never gets weekends off, and works all sorts of 8-hr shifts since it's a 24/7 place.

He's learned the hotel business is usually looking for a few GOOD employees...

Then there's monster.com

Good Luck!

Thanks Shirley, we have a few hotels that are slowly reopening from the hurricanes last season. I will give them a call and see what they say.

i dont mind getting up early. If you goto work early you get off early like 2pm in my case i didnt take a lunch. So you have the rest of the day to do what ever.

Good luck on the job hunt.

Trevor works 2 pm to 10 pm, 10 pm to 6 am, and 6 am to 2 pm. He's never ever been late, but 1 min late, a warning the 1st time, the 2nd time, you are sent home, the 3rd time, you are fired.

The sign by the time clock to housekeeping: If you don't know how to clock in, then go home! (they evidently kept forgetting to clock in)

Trevor, btw, likes his mgr and the owner.

I would not call. Eighty percent of jobs are found by knowing people and personal contact. For a service type job image is really important and I would go meet the manager first then tell him you wish to apply for a position.

Shirley's son did really well.

Thanks for the info there about going to meet them in person. I normaly do that.
I went on a few interviews on Fri. and none of them will work out with my classes.

Trevor went in person, dressed medium, not superb, not bad, but has his ROTC haircut, and his college transcript (3.+?) to attach to his application, no resume, plus he worked at Kroger grocery for two summers... but they only glanced at him, his grade sheet, his availability (24/7, including weekends) and hired him on the spot. They did have to fire a couple front deks employees the couple days prior, and had a couple others walk off the job. So, he hit them at the right time, but he likes it there, he hasn't missed a single day all summer, and he plans to work there over C-mas break. He works front desk, sets up the continental breakfast, folds laundry in the room behind the desk when no one is checking in/out, does the night audit on the night shift, and is the "housekeeper" during the night shift if anyone needs extra anything. (he's the only one on the property then) It's only 64 rooms, but also *very* close to Verizon Music Center (formerly Deer Creek) which has a all the big outdoor summer concerts... so is booked pretty solidly all summer.

Good encouragement/advice there, Shirley.

Tim- I don't blame you for walking out of that kind of situation! Who needs that? Of course you want a job, but verbal and emotional abuse? No way!

Good luck on the job search, Tim.

[ShirleyM]

BTW, Trevor would never tolerate disrespect from an employer... never. Correction, yes, disrespect? no.

[Tim224DT]

Well the job hunt isnt going so well, noone can seem to help me out with my times i have classes. They are like we need you this time and this time. Im like i have class at that time. Im not giving up im still looking.............

Tim - are you looking for a job with a benefit package, or do you already have insurance? If you do, maybe you could try a local photographer to see if he/she needs some help. I know with digital cameras things are different these days, but that might be a way to work around your class schedule. Or maybe the LFS!
