I know this is a stupid question, but I need a job fast. And nothing is really working out. I applied to a few places in the mall but they seem to be taking their sweet time hiring people (like a month of drawn out group interviews and such).

Does anyone have any ideas where I can go? I was thinking another temp place, but one place already screwed me over (wouldn't give me any longer term work than one day at a time, and not even on a consistant basis). Would a smaller shop or something give me a job quicker?

How did the temporary place screw you over? You DO know you're not the only candidate out there, right?

If you have a Circuit City near by they're most likely hiring, they had to hella lay people off on commission earlier in the year. I and about 10 other people got hired at one by me and they're still interviewing people.

Cool, congrats SuepaFly.

Which location do you work at, Rufio?

Torrance, baby! :)

If you other people responded, I probably could have gotten you jobs here too! :D

I'll probably respond on Monday, if it isn't too late by then. ;)

I was planning on asking you in email:
  1. What is typical or representative compensation for junior employees in this position?
  2. What are the hours like?
Thanks.

Rufio is THE MAN! Definitely would still be sitting here on my arse without his help. His recommendation is the best you can get.

Manly: I got in today just before the training starts on Monday. I think after this its another two weeks.

PS - Rufio, I interviewed with Pete not Chris, I guess she was busy.
