|
 |
I've been looking for a job for a while now, sent my résumé to 10 different companies looking for warehouse workers, rent-a-cops, construction workers, et cœtera.
I'm hoping to land a job in security or construction, the former because all you really do is stand/sit, the latter because it's an actual profession you can build a career out of.
Starting as a simple worker and moving on to bigger and better things within the industry.
But who am I kidding, I'll probably end up working in a kitchen somewhere or cleaning streets.
Blue collar life!

How old are you? What degrees do you have? How does the CV look like?
Why are you aiming or security/construction? Is it reachable, or is it an impossible utopia?

Thank you.
Edit: Holy shit, someone called me back!
Security job in a factory near me, and it's the night shift, which is great.

Well everything fell to shit.
Factory job is unlikely, hotel job, they're looking for people with gun permits.
Some chick called me about a job in sales, they think I'm dumb enough to believe the "GO TO USA, MAKE LOTS OF MONEY!!!1" crap they sell to guillable 20-something-year-olds with dollar signs in their eyes.
The company I contacted about the factory job said they might have a position elsewhere in my area, but I'm not counting on it.
I sent my CV to total of 10 companies, only 4 called me back. My amazing math skills tell me that leaves 6 companies who have yet to contact me.
So that's something.
I'll give them a week or two and then move my search to the streets.
