Manly, let me tell you something - you are going to make a LOT of money this upcoming holiday. I'll come visit you downstairs next week and we can chat. ANd when you get a 5 digit paycheck, don't forget to take me out to a nice lunch! MUAHAHAHAHA! 🙂
 
10k check, wow!!!

I applied and a few people on the inside convinced them I was the man for the job. Since then, they love my work.
 
Worked at McDonalds when I was 16.
Made friends with the owner's son.
Remain very good friends through my college years and such.
After 9/11, work was very slow at Disney so I finally joined Mickey Ds at his urging.
Been there for 1.5 yrs.

amdskip - i have friends at work that make 6 digits as fancy salesmen

of course, they are the best of the best...

one of my friends, 3 months ago, comes to my desk...and shows me his damn commission check:
$36,000
HOLY SH!T!!!

And then he made a deal w/Sony --
he got 2 36" wegas, 1 centrino laptop, clie, digital camera, and camcorder. Just because he sold 1/2 million worth of sony that month!

it's a great place to work if you're good at what u do!!
 
Applied for 3 jobs on my college career center webpage. I was offered an interview for one of them and had a 15 minute phone interview. They hired me after that. I start on Monday. It's an internship but it's the quickest job I have ever gotten. Woot!
 
Buddy told be a company was looking for temps. Worked for 3 weeks, offered position. Took position. Got 20% raise 2 months later 😛
 
I applied. It was a "contract to hire position" (after 6 months they would offer you a permanant position if they liked you). I've been there for 5 years now.

I applied (this was a few months ago), had an interview the next week and got the job when I called to check back a few days later.
 
I walked in, applied, and got the job. All in the same day too. As a matter of fact, in less than 5 yrs I'm already going to be promoted...to head assistant fries operator. They don't just let anyone work the fry grill, you gotta earn it. 🙂
