Only been looking a few days and several offers and more interviews set up. I don't even have my degree yet!

 

Sadly the best offer so far I cannot take because I have to be there 8-5 and can't do my last 2 classes. Dammit, it was great pay.

What are you studying?

I tried quite a few places before I got my job, but maybe the situation is worse over here for jobs idk

may be is cause you don't have yet a degree, so as they will pay you less you are more interesting for them as a worker.

 

here now is adviced -and some people has tried it- to show the less qualitifications/degrees on their applications & cvs, and that way they've gotten a job, the other way they don't even made it to interview stage.

 

last year i applied for a lot of jobs, and just got to get interviewed for two of them, finally got a temporary job for a month in february in something that is not much related with my studies.

 

i shall keep trying soon again.

 

so you found a job, Nick?

This can be true, a lot of young people with degrees find themselves overqualified for a lot of jobs, and underqualified for the specified job theyre supposed to go into (Lack of experience). Well this is how an employer looks at it anyway.

Maybe your employer would be one of the many considerate people and wokr out something for you. You're not working for him/her yet so it wont hurt to ask.

How can people not find a job?

 

Depends on the industry. My uncle worked thirty years for Intermatic, before they moved all manufacturing overseas. Took him awhile before he found a new one. No PD, FD, PW or general public sector jobs here. Probably depends on your field, no?

I don't have my degree which is the problem. All the damn good jobs are 9-5's and I can't do my classes. So i've given up a few good job offers because of that now. May have to stick to smaller jobs until I finish school. Dammit

 

And I can't volunteer during the week with the 3rd grade class. I really loved doing that.

Where I live, the jobs are all at fast food chains and places like that...the other jobs are basically in family businesses...while the fast food places have high turnover, they hire older people, as they assume they need the money more.

anyway that you can change your work schedule for the better paying jobs to not coincide with school? that way even if it's like part time you can still get better pay

I might be able to. However I really want to help at the school. I really enjoy it and the kids there. I can find a lower paying job so that I can do something I enjoy more. Doing something like that, that i love is more important than a little more money. My attitude on money is weird...probably why I'm broke!

Good work, and good luck

It's actually quite difficult to find work where I live.

 

Most of the people I graduated with haven't found a job yet.

Well. I've asked at a couple of restaurants/bars in my hometown and none of them called back to set up a try-out work day.

 

The jobs that are relevant for my degree are mostly 8-4, based in the capital, but I don't have a car or a flat anywhere near so I can't work at those places.

I've got the same problem. I applied for a few jobs in Manchester this summer and two companies told me that they didn't consider me because I live too far away. I'm not sure why that's a problem if I'm willing to travel. I will doing my MA in London though so hopefully I'll be able to gain some experience next year.

You might want to get back the travel expenses and they might not be willing to pay them. :\ Hopefully things will change once you're in London!

cool! well if it's what you really enjoy doing then it makes more sense to do that especially since it's just making as you said a little less.

 

 

So do you want to be a teacher or something as a career?

:nod:

 

Yeah I was able to do that... my final semester I worked 3 days and went to school 2 days; they simply prorated the full-time pay.

 

Basically, it can't hurt to ask.

i find it hard to get a job because i am 14

 

if anyone wants to hire me i'd be really thankful!!!!

 

or if liam finn was so amazed by my performance he took me touring with him to the US i would like that

I'm taking it. I'll have to go to one class a little late. Oh well, it's a good opportunity and pay. And I'm signing up for "big brothers and big sisters" of central Florida program to do around my work schedule.

It's really difficult to find a job that pays something decent here even if you have a degree. ( the minimun wage is $200 a month and most fast food places,restaurants,and even jobs that require a degree only pay that)

 

I have some friends that are engineers,architects and lawyers that studied for years and got a degree and all but had a hard time getting a decent job ( i think 2 of them were working as cab drivers just to pay the bills ). Also, most places won't hire you if you're over 25 unless you have connections.

 

I guess it's way harder to find a job if you don't live in the states or europe.

but I don't have a car or a flat anywhere near so I can't work at those places.

i never understand it, why they reject some applicant cause doesn't have a car or driving license, when the worker is willing to use public transport and among the duties/tasks of the work itself is not required the use or need of an own car or driving, seems they don't believe in the so eco-friendly alternatives.

once it happened to me for a job offer as shop assistant which working place is 5 minutes walking from my home. :confused:

also the rotative schedules aren't friendly when one is a student, and here part-time jobs use to have that kind of contract, and they don't want to meet the needs even when the student-worker is willing to work on holidays and weekends.

or when they go with the 'well you have more studies than required but have no experience' yeah if nobody trust in contracting me sure i'll never get an experience. :mean:

 

good luck to everyone of you who is looking for a job at the moment.

Well, in my case, getting to the work place by 8 am would mean getting up at 4:45 if I wanted to take the coach..

Start Tuesday at 9. Not gonna lie, a little nervous. This is goingto be a hard job. If i don't do well in the 1st month I get cut.

Best of luck :hug:
