I found my SO a retail $750 bike on craigslist for $90. Has a slightly bent wheel but was otherwise in perfectly good shape. And his dog loves the 2 mile bike runs.
I'm actually taking it to the bike shop shortly to have that wheel, tires and brakes replaced as his birthday present. Bike shop quoted me around $125 at the most for everything. Shhhhhhhh. its a surprise.
Schwinn isn't a department store bike. They may sell some models, but it's still a top brand. I'm mainly looking for a schwinn or trek, can't find any though. I'm willing to spend up to $70 on something decent.
You give employers too much benefit of the doubt. I've seen many ads that say "must have reliable vehicle". Last time I check a vehicle is a car or truck. Not city buses or trains. Some employers do care.
I know, another excuse because employers prefer people with cars.
I really need to counter the fill-out-an-application-and-never-hear-a-single-word thing but I don't know how. Do I show up in person and ask what the problem is? Do I show up repeatedly to prove to these people I mean business? What's a guy supposed to do.
You may have seen "many" ads, but in actual world terms MOST employers only ask if you have reliable transportation. You'd actually have to apply to find that out.
To your other nonpoint, I have personally witnessed store managers be approached by people who have already applied online, talk to them for a few minutes to give them a once over, then jot their name down to pull out of the hundreds later, IF they liked them.
But again you'd actually have to do this and risk rejection.
what is a good way to apply for jobs when you dont have the exact experince?
cuz i only have 2-3 months of warehouse experince and would like to try for retail or fast food or manufacturing but dont have the experince nor excellent customer service skills. tbh i am worried about not being pretty enough for customer faced roles.
stuff like that below I would like to do and if I dont have a car or DL do I apply to cuz they say I need reliable transportion and stuff
... In those 6 years I had at least 15 jobs ... I know nothing about getting a job... I am sure you have more experience at it these days.
I am on the hiring end. That is where my experience comes from.
(And incidentally, from the hiring end, seeing 15 jobs in 6 years is strongly perceived as meaning you know nothing about getting a job.)
As long as he can get to a job nobody cares how he does it.
Did I say it mattered how he got to work? I said it mattered that his way was stable. My main workplace has a light rail stop a block away. The majority of our employees take transit to work. That is definitely stable transit. Parried lives in a location with poor transit access and does not have insurance to drive from what I have been able to figure out. That is unstable transportation.
