My problem is actually more I'm not willing to kiss someone's ass to the extent people out here want. In other words make my very professional look turn to what is deemed as "slutty" and be willing to either have sex or suck some one's dick just to get a job. That all goes beneath my morals and ethics. And if I answer every one of those the same as I have since they started being used and got hired at Disney of all places which has one of the stricter hiring rules of anyone I should technically be able to be hired anywhere. They're cunts out here for hiring. If you're not drop dead gorgeous or willing to abandon your morals and ethics then you're unemployable. Or have a Bachelor's degree in random ass shite. And all the years of experience I have for the job deem me "over qualified" for most jobs. Also, our employers out here don't look at online applications 99% of the time. Unless it is a city/county job and then I'm underqualified for everything. Including cashier positions which I've had mostly all those for the past 8 years.UnusualStranger said:
Then this is the part that kinda hurts. Don't be "slutty", cause you know as well as I do that it will not really get you any further than the job you got (even if it plays pretty big in the workplace, funny enough.)aprilmarie said:
However, you CANNOT consider yourself being able to be hired anywheres. It is an employer market for a reason, because they can be somewhat choosy about who they are going to pick up, and they want to pick up someone who will not jump ship the second something bigger shows up, and also get the feeling that you are reasonably important, and will get along with other people. It is somewhat about sucking up, but mostly that just comes from the interview things that happen. You have to look damn good to them, and otherwise will be just fine.
And I am sure they are jerks, and say that overqualified stuffs all the time. Then take some of it off. They can't use the line if you actually don't let them know about it. Everyone has to lie to get somewhere these days, and in this case you need to make sure that you are sounding proper for the job. Don't put down all of your experiences and qualifications. Give them a taste, not a history. And also, education is always important to employers. They want up to date workers, who are willing to stay that way. You need to make sure that you stay presentable, and that you keep your options open reasonably for other people.
Yeah, I'm sure some of them are real bastards around there, but I know that not ALL of them are. It is like claiming ALL politicians are evil scumbags. It just isn't the case. It takes a lot of luck and skills and creative writing to get work these days, but as long as you keep it up, and don't look horribly plain while doing it, eventually someone will pick you up.
