How Did You Get Your Job?

[jimmyboy92]

Morning. :)

Obviously this only applies to people that have, or have had a job lol.

Just wondering how you got your job, if it was through a friend, through an ageny, just asked the company, etc?

As I'm really struggling to find a PT job atm and it's making my anxiety and depression worse as I'm always worrying about trying to find a job and my current lack of money. :(

So yeah, how did you find yours?

Well i got my job because one of the landscaping businesses around me my dad and another guy started probaly about 30 years ago. my dad has long since left but the other guy he started it with owns it so when he came to my house to cut down a tree i went up to and said " Hey scotty can i come work for you spliting your wold up at the yard." and he said "ill make you a deal if go down the street and chop that tree up i just cut down you can work for me at $7.50 an hour under the table." So i chopped the tree he was talking about up and called and said "Hey scotty come down here and give me my job." He said " what do you mean." i said "I chopped that tree up so give me my job" and he gave me the job and now i get paid $7.50 an hour under the table making about $22,000 a year and im happy with it.

You do realize it's illegal for you to have a job at your age in America, no?
And, just a ballpark guess, you don't make $22,000 a year...

You're right, so you can do anything illegal you want, but as long as the government cant find out.

My dad did work for my current boss of three years, and told him I needed a job. My boss is flakey, so getting a job with him isn't easy. So I spent a few months constantly pestering him, approaching him, and reminding him.

[Unfortunate1]

I was born, I have been working as a son since ^.^

[jimmyboy92]

Hmm, so really most people seem to get their jobs through family or friends......shame as I don't realy have either. Better keep looking on the jobcentre website I guess then lol.

wait.... WHAT?

So, if I murder 48 people, and don't get caught.... I shouldn't be scared. Because I'm not illegal.

I went through the lifeguard training class (56 hours of class). I walked in to the YMCA, asked for a job application. They called me for an interview; I came in, had the interview, and was hired.

Anyway. I applied on the company's website.

That was a couple days ago.. i think i was agreeing to him getting a job?
Anyway, i have 2 jobs. I buy/sell chainsaws and make on the average of 500 bucks a month on that. And my regular job, i move people across the country with my dad. All my expenses are paid, and i make 350 a week with that.. (and sometimes $50 tips) and im a money hoarder. I dont have a gf, and not much friends. So i dont spend any money at all really.
