It's most difficult to have any sort of 'swag' in the summer when your desperately in search for a job. If your a returning college kid, or newly graduated kid on the hunt for that awesome career you've had in mind for four years or so, I wish you luck.
The job hunt on my end has been most difficult. With most jobs either suggesting that I come in and fill out an application, or the mass of e-mails that I've sent out and have been unanswered by any sort of respondents. What's the deal? Don't people need some sort of cheap labor, a sort of binding slavery contract for 3-4 months? Anyone looking to hire some scrawny kid that runs on a severe lack of sleep and a mere few cups of coffee? I can cook!
Perhaps it's about time the streets were hit with some applications and resumes. Applying for jobs in any city/town/major community can be a pain in the ass. There's not beating around the bush on that one. Walking into some place you've never even been and asking to fill out a job application (mostly in restaurants) can be super awkward. Everyone's staring at you when you hand back the application to whatever sort of good looking host is at the helm of the restaurant, and when you make eye contact you just know that girl is getting ready to throw out your fresh new application.
Maybe it's all in the approach, maybe we're doing it wrong, maybe I'm doing it wrong...
Besides scanning the craigslist pages in search for a summer slavery opportunity I should be looking elsewhere. But in my region there only seems to be a wide range of restaurants with greasy older guys making low wages and fashionista's waiting tables making the real big bucks. How does some 21 year old schmoozer make it in the world these days? If only I could just sign up to train with SEAL Team Six and help take down major terrorist figures like bin Laden.
Ehhh, I got a few days someone's bound to e-mail me back looking for a part time slave for the summer.
