Hey guys i just wanted to post this because i know how hard it could be to get a job when so few places are hiring, and the ones that are hiring want "experience." i applied at several stores (i live in California by the way) outlets, department stores, Walmart, pets-mart and some gas stations. a friend of mine that i worked with in the past introduced me into a new job opportunity with a company called TransAmerica and its working out great. in about three months i got called back from a ROSS store, and was hired. i have been working there for about 4 months now, i was promoted to SPS (Store Protection Specialist) yesterday. i love working there. i did not need a fancy resume i just honestly told them that this was going to be my first official payroll job but that i was a fast learner and that i would be a valuable asset for the store. i was named employee of the month the month after i started working there. this shows you that we all have the opportunity to succeed, you just have to look for it. you might not get the job that you want right away, but you will eventually get it just start off with small jobs to build up experience in costumer service, which is what most employers want. i hope this help and if you have any questions please feel free to ask me.
