Make sure someone is proof reading your applications for you. You have a lot of errors which may be a turn off for potential employers. Yes this is a message board, but I is still capitalized. If I were looking to hire someone, and I had an application full of spelling, punctuation and grammar errors, and one that is correct I'm going with the one that is correct.
If your resume looks like your post, I would go back to school.
I'm going to second this. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm being serious...if this is what your resume looks like, this is why you aren't getting hired. If you don't know proper punctuation or grammar, have someone help you write the resume so you can at least get your foot in the door.
ok so i am 24 years old and i have never had a job before in my life. i am looking right now but no place is hireing me i am told its because after i hand in my application or resusme i do not call them back the next day and then repeat calling them back everyday untill i get the job or they say stop calling us you dont have the job. but honestly i do not know what to do because i am trying places like mcdonalds and even they wont hire me and i really really need a job badly and i have no idea how to get one since i have no money and if i go back to school it will just be a waste of time for me right now. i failed badly and i just dont know what to do. like how do i get a job at mcdonalds or walmart do i really have to call them up every day untill they say no and then move on to the next one. heck even dishwashers say oh u need exprence. well how am i supposed to get exprence.
Should learn to read and write before applying for a job.
Ya know...how many people have you seen begging for $$$ on the side of the road with a sign that says "Will work for food"...but when you offer them "employment" they look at you like you are stark raving mad???? I always roll down my window and say "ya know, I have a ton of weeds in the back yard that need pulling"...and every single person that has said "I am willing to do that" I have given a $20 bill....all ONE of them!
I get your point, but there are some sick in the head people out there who look to beat up homeless people or even want to kill people, so maybe a lot of those people didn't trust going along to some stranger's house and maybe a lot wrere just lazy, but I do know people who have nothing better to do than take their aggresion out on people like the homeless.
There are trucking training programs for major trucking companies - you get your CDL and commit to a certain amount of time as an employee.
The military is a good one. Not only will it solve the problem of finding a job now, but if you are smart about the opportunities you receive you can obtain further education for much less money. And I do believe you need it. It is more selective now, yes, but you have already waited around for 6 years, what is another couple of months?
Have you ever heard of LiveOps, ACD Direct or any other home call center companies?

Many jobs in the oil and gas industry such as pipeline technicians only require a high school diploma as well and those jobs pay extremely well also. However it is very tough/labor intensive work with long hours so it is not for everybody.

Tried to rep you
