So you’ve been told a few times on this site to get a job, or perhaps you need to get a job to pay the bills, whatever the reason, this guide may help. Unless it’s community service, then I can’t help.
The Guide
Heck, getting a job is pretty scary, to be honest I’m shaking at the fingertips just to hand in a piece of paper showing how well I failed at school. You have to try get over being scared, and you need to be confident, that’s what the employer wants.
The Application Form/C.V
This is the part where you show your interest in the place you want to work at, this is where you really need to sell yourself to the employer. Try your best to describe yourself in the best way possible, but most importantly, NEVER LIE in your C.V or application, because if they find out on a later date that you lied, then you’re in trouble.
Avoid saying bad things about yourself, you want them to only know the good things about you, if they want to know the bad things, they’ll do a background check on you, or even call you in for an interview.
The Interview
You’ve passed the first step, well done. Depending on where you’re applying to work, you should dress up very well. I choose to wear my school uniform, but for some of you that are past the school age, try and find something neat and tidy to wear, not your ACDC band shirt or anything talking about drugs and stuff, you really need the employer to think of you as a good person (not that ACDC or drugs make you a bad person).
Speak politely with manners, yeah, this is so obvious that I barely even need to include it in this guide, but some of you may not realise this. Don’t say yip, or nah, say yes or no. Obvious, easy.
CONFIDENCE! - Or however you spell it!
What employers want to see, is confidence. You need to show that you’re the boss, that you don’t get the shakes and go all red when the employer confronts you. This isn’t easy to do if it’s your first ever interview, just try your best to not get nervous.
The First Day
So you’re in, you are what the employer was looking for. Well done, now all that you have to do is show up for work whenever required, and do your best to please the boss.
Happy Boss = More Pay..... Well, usually.
If you want more help on getting a job, you can always check out guides online, I am sure that there would be thousands of these. If you need help on making a C.V, there are many guides online about these also.
Just a note, wherever there is a job advertisement that says "Choose your own hours, work when YOU want", You may think "wow, I can just work two hours on wednesday and that;s it!" well, this is all bullshit, because the truth is, the less hours that you work, the less you’ll get paid.
Good luck, and may the force be with you.
Whatever. |

When he sees that you can make independent decisions for the company without asking him and that you are responsible and have great common sense, he will be pleased. He will also be testing you out for the first 3 weeks to get used to the way that you do things and your work ethic. Show him that your work ethic is strong, you do your best with a smile on your face, are willing to tackle anything and learn anything and you are guaranteed to keep your job (so long as you dont fuck up everything else). |

 | Dec 05, 2007 2:56 pm - 5*s |

 | Dec 08, 2007 11:16 pm - Just so you guys know, I applied for a job about 2 weeks ago at a car accessories store. I am now working there, getting decent money, and it’s keeping me out of trouble. Bloddy awesome reputation, and since the time goes fast here, it’s bloddy good money. Never give up on getting a job, even if your a trolley boy, or running behind a rubbish truck, it’s a job, and you’re getting off your behind. Aim high, not low. Try your best, and most of all, get off that couch. |

 | Dec 13, 2007 9:26 am - When I saw that picture, I laughed really hard for about 3 minutes straight. I was laughing so hard I was certain I was gonna die of laughing, I was crying.
5***** just for making me laugh so hard, but damn you...my cheeks hurt, so do my ribs and my guts...ugh, now I can’t concentrate. | |
