Never Felt So Lame
Been job hunting for the past couple of months. No luck whatsoever, except for a part time, minimum wage, seasonal job at Future Shop that I could only have if I cut off my long hair (direct quote from the store manager). I've never had this much trouble finding work. Any tips on how to keep from robbing a bank?

Are you trained for anything?
What do you want to do with the rest of your life?
But ya, it's mostly seasonal right now for the next month or so my friend and then usually slow January and February( depends on what companies too I guess).
Even UGH! employment agencies are slow but could always try them even though I don't like any of them.
Probably not what you want to here, but coming from the guy who's lived it the most...........
Wanted to type more,lol
Are you still in Windsor?
Also good Luck!:)
Creative writer, they sure do need it! lol

Find a place that I can make a career. I'm happy here in Windsor, as odd as that will be to most people, so I'm looking to put down some roots.
Agreed, they need the help. However, they only hire people who have written for TV shows. Fans need not apply
Meanwhile, also check out LinkedIn.com Its described as Facebook for Professionals. Set up a profile and copy your resume on your profile. Then start networking by adding family, friends, and co workers to your profile. In no time you will get those looking for help PMing you for a copy of your resume and might get some hits that way.
here's the link to their homepage

Good luck. Not the time of year to be looking for work for many reasons, but I do hope you find something soon.
It is tough at this time of year to find anything outside of seasonal, so you may need to bite the bullet in the short term just to tide you over. Roots are easier to establish, in the spring time. Good luck Matt.
So tuck your hair up under your hat and go in to ask him why.
You sir get better with age!!
You should be getting pretty fucking good by now no?

P.S. - I always thought Cerberus looked like a fine outstanding young man.
Good to hear. Just hope the guy did not confuse you with the clean cut kid willing to provide his own hairnets . . .
Good luck, but this sounds like you may be cold calling potential investors.
Yep, pretty sure this is the same investors that keep calling me. Not interested in that myself, but some like it.
Cold calling? Not so much.
And that's when his panties get in a bunch.
"We don't push or sell people on anything here. We're guiding them to their financial goals." Umm... ok, but you have to sell them on you being better at it than the guys down the block right? "We're guides."
And we're done here. I politely explain that it's not the job for me but I appreciate their interest and thank him for his time.
i was gonna write a big post on what these guys do, how they basically just sell mutual funds, but im glad to see you figured it out anyways. if its your bag fine but if your not down you'd hate that....
so, if you want to make $$$ handling people's meat, who am I to cast the first stone?
OH, COME ON !!! You knew I wasn't going to let that one go, didn't you?
lol...I remember saying those EXACT words. About 40k ago.
<yep...brag...so what?>
No you may not want this, I went for one there, after 3 months your pay goes down! and you have to go to Montreal for training.
