May 27, 200322 yr Author wut did u do last time? "last time"? like, the job i just quit? it was waitering at Outback Steakhouse. before that I was the overnight guy at a full service Marriott hotel. before that, Manager at Chick-fil-A.
May 27, 200322 yr Yep.Some jobs suck.That's life.It's all about the worker abuse... because there is always some idiot out there who will work for minimum wage.Either way... congrats on holding yer dignity.Good luck on finding a new and better job. :wink:
May 27, 200322 yr it was waitering at Outback Steakhouse. before that I was the overnight guy at a full service Marriott hotel. before that, Manager at Chick-fil-A. Go back to Chick-fil-A, I need a supply of chicken sandwiches and those yummy fries!! Seriously, I used to work at crappy fast food places, then one day my dad helped me write a resume that made "fast food cook" look like "computer support" and since then I have moved up to the System Admin from Hell positionJust figure out what you would like to do, you can always convince people to hire you for, if nothing else, an entry level position, then impress them with your wit, style, and ability to handle responsibility. :wink:
May 27, 200322 yr Car sales are a great way to meet girls/ladies and make a good buck.Enterprise rent a car is a great place and good benefits.I would focus on something you like to do, Hobby wise, and see how that works. I would work at a computer shop for instance b/c I buy a lot of parts and like working on them.

May 28, 200322 yr Being a COP is cool and we have a little saying in the SWAT community about when we are all decked out.CDI = Chicks Dig ItSomething about when a woman finds out you are a cop. Not to mention its fun as hell and you make much better than minimum wage. Granted you are not going to be rich but its better than a lot of people make.

Not to mention its fun as hell and you make much better than minimum wage. Granted you are not going to be rich but its better than a lot of people make. I actually wanted to be a cop, and my girlfriend does, too.Unfortunately I missed the resent test because of age and she missed it by late entry. Some friend of her dad says there isn't another test for like... 4 years.We live in Suffolk... where I'm pretty sure cops here make the most nation-wide at $100,000/year.And there is no way in hell either of us would risk working in the city... maybe Nassau... MAYBE.
May 29, 200322 yr They give test for other agencies all the time.....You may have to work for a small department to start out. Thats what I did two months after turning 20. In my state you can become an officer at 19 however it is very hard to do as most agencies will not put you on the road until you are 21. This is because the department has got to provide you with a weapon under federal guidelines. I am not sure about other states. I think GA is 19 also but I am not 100% sure about that. Anyway working 1 or 2 years at a smaller department can be a great way to step up because you tend to get more training than in some of the larger urban depts. I worked for 4.5 years at a smaller dept where I got to do everything from investigations to command a shift just before leaving. Now I have been with the state for 1 year and the pay is good but not anywhere close to 100k. One thing you have to look at with high paid depts is the cost of living in the area. I only make in the 30s BUT the cost of living is so low here I can live as well or better than someone making 100k in LA. If you are wanting a job in law enforcement Alabama is a GREAT place for young people. I would be glad to tell you which area is better than others. I have one of my fellow agents looking over me now asking if I am a working for a recruiting bonus.... I guess I need to get back to work.....
May 29, 200322 yr I want to become in USA with my family to begin a State Cop like you : i am unemployed here in Belgium and i worked in aircraft & fighter since 15 years.And also to stay near my american friends too !Egidio.PS. I am Italian + Belgian and perhaps American too : nice for me...
