I'm at a shitty point between being over qualified for entry level jobs and underqualified for interships in my field. I got a decent paying part time job at my college but I can barely get 11 hours a week and it doesn't run during the summer.

Get some real world marketable skills, faggot.

Follow up your application with a call.

Pester the living fuck out of whoever it is you want to be hired by, especially if they have a higher than average turn-over rate.

Well it's not meant to be a permanent job so of course it's going to have a lot of people moving in and out

God why is it so difficult to find work there?

Perhaps I was lucky. But America sounds complicated as fuck for job seekers

aw NICE, then I have one skill

I never understood entry level positions demanding someone have entry level experience. I mean, yeah I know, having someone who already knows how to work a register is nice, but honestly it's brain dead easy and only requires like half a day of training if that.

Personally I'm glad the McDonald's on Vine Street never hired me and chose some black kid to meet their diversity quota. I got an infinitely better job and looks way better on a resume.
