Also, barred out is taking xanax to get fucked up.

badgering an employer for status updates on your application is a quick way to never get hired.

What, no, disagree.

I generally follow-up on all my interviews. It shows I want it and I'm serious about the position. That being said there's a right and wrong way to do it.

robbing a smoke shop.........wtf..........

That was the first time I introduced myself to her. No badgering there, I would think. Though, I do wonder if going there tomorrow would seem as if though I am badgering. I had hopes for this job, too. I should stop doing that.

You just gotta get on her level brah. Bar it up!!!

You sending them a resume lets them know you are interested and serious about the position. You think you're the first person to surmise "maybe I should call cuz, ya know, i want to look serious"? No, everybody thinks this, which is why it's annoying for hiring managers.

A piece of paper is not an indicator of you being serious or even a real person. Introducing yourself, if the field/situation is not inappropriate (i.e., badgering), is good because it is like you forcing a miniature interview. It's not categorically a mistake or annoying or a problem. It puts a face to your shitty resume that is identical to everyone else's. If your impression is good that can accelerate you or stop your resume from being recycled if it didn't catch their eye. And if your impression is bad then it would have been bad at an interview anyway so all you did was save yourself the hassle while trying to give yourself a little edge.

If you're in the business of hiring people but loathe having to talk to them you may be a douchebag. And in that case, introducing yourself helps you quickly discover whether the person hiring you is a douchebag and whether you are incompatible already.

Newb, please, stop embarrassing yourself.

This. I really wish I followed up on more applications, but I don't. I need to work on that in the future.

Followed up with a call, got an interview today. Seriously, following up is very important.

and now I just have to fill out some paperwork and I'm employed. Woot!

Terrible advice

Before i got a job at a gym when i was 18 i filled out like at least 6 applications. Kept pestering. Even watched on like my 4th application fill out the guy threw it away. But i kept trying and eventually he said fuck it and hired me. He ended up becoming one of my best friends.

In today's economy it's not uncommong for a manager to receive over 100 resumes. If every one of those cocksuckers called for "status updates" do you realize how infuriating that would be? The interview is where you show yourself off, not some sort of "forced mini interview". Who the hell wants to be forced to interview someone at a totally unscheduled inconvenient time while they are trying to work? How awkward is that going to be for the manager on the phone "well um, yes sir I have your resume. We are still looking over candidates, yes I see you are really special and all, we'll get back to you if we are ready to move forward. *hangs up*. Fucking christ*". It's an aged old fallacy that you somehow make yourself look more interested by "following up". You just make yourself look desperate. I take it all of you advocating this line of application probably have every little employment experience.

Top shelf lel newb. It's not something that makes you stand out, not following up makes you stand OUT of the picture. Though, if you're applying for a corporation or big company, you follow up with a letter.

I work in entertainment industry as an engineer. Im freelance and work for load of companies, but when I started out I got a FT job with a big company just working in the low level. I literally walked in and started talking to people. I had a CV with me, but they didnt even look at it. I just explained my situation. And they were looking people. I got my foot in and made my way up.

Seriously amazes me people that say they cant get a job. I am sorry but you just not trying hard enough. People think getting a job is simply sending in CVs (resumes in america) or filling in forms. That will rarely get u far. If anything its all about how you present yourself within the first 20 seconds can make or break it.

Gnarly what has your gold life been like since we were discussing gold earlier this year?

I don't hold any gold, though it is my inheritance.

I guess you didn't find any short positions to take? I made money but not a lot when it dipped.

I'm not holding anymore significant positions on gold and don't have any opinion on it anymore cuz idk what's going on.

I had my money in the us market and forex before taking it out to play some live poker. If you still have shorts from 1800, I'd keep them if I could stand having the positions for a couple of years, add on around 1600 if the bull trap hasn't already come by. If you can't hold out, get out. When it doubt, get out.

And no, I couldn't short gold even if I wanted. I don't have the capital for that. Don't you need like 6 figures to apply for a futures margin account? Or are you shorting gold/usd?

Bullshit article. Automation is why people are losing their jobs, then you have a saturated market, which means an algorithmic resume scanner.

>into the trash it goes

There's a "glitch" in the program, meaning I can't get the paper work until it's fixed. Sigh.

"Onion Article Proves Bullshit"

What a great scoop you have there, Greenwald. You might want to sell this one to the Daily Mail.

If you honestly think that the reason unemployment is high is because of people botching interviews, please, play in traffic.

It's The Onion you fucking idiot.

why are all you guys looking for jobs?
Seriously, times are changing. I make money through online marketing so I can then play poker at the same time from home.
Traditional jobs are in the past, use one to pay the bills but build on something in your spare time, innovate like me and make money an easier way. I can work from anywhere via a laptop.
If your willing to invest in yourself to learn a new way to work as little as 3 hours a day, then I want to talk with you.
Really hope I can help some of you, dont settle for a dead end job guys.

If you want to watch a free bootcamp, just click the link above, fill in your email like I did 5 months ago, my life has never been the same since thanks to the Six Figure Mentors and Digital Experts Academy.

I remember a few years back, my parents saved up to get me a car, after having not had one for two years, which meant that I couldn't get a job for those two years. Also, they didn't want to get me a car because of my sister wrecking five previous car. I live in an area, where during those years, people were being killed up to three times per week just in my little part of town. There was always a new poster of someone that recently went missing, and my dad expects me to go work for a fucking corner store? I don't speak fucking spanish, and I'm an easy target being a short skinny white kid.

When I got this car, the first thing I did was go out of town with some friends. It was one of the greatest days I had in such a long time. My best friend at the time and I were just cruising around empty roads smoking blunts. I actually remember laughing, and everyone told me that they were surprised to see me smile. Things were looking up for me cause then I could look for a job, actually go somewhere without having to worry about getting picked up or some shit.

Then, when we were trying to find a friends house to stay at, a piece of fucking shit drunk kid who should've been dead just from the alcohol destroys my car. I didn't have this car for 24 hours. Just gone. Trunk was up in the front seat. I was going to kill the kid but he took off. Ended up getting caught, but only did a couple years of probation. No jail time for evading arrest or anything like that. That would've been "too harsh" according to my insurance company. The one day that was supposed to be really fucking good turned into one of the worst days I've had, and I've had too many of those.

With this fucking bitch telling me that i would be expecting paperwork WITHIN THE FUCKING HOUR, I thought to myself, hey, I got it. I finally got a job. Fuck yaeh! Go me! Of course, I always had a little voice in the back of my head telling me not to get my hopes up, but I ignored that. I started looking into how much I could expect a month, what I should do with that, how early I could move out, the food I could finally afford to eat, the trips I could make out of town, the drinks i can have with friends. It's been almost a week now, and still no email. I've been told a couple different reasons why, which makes me believe that I'm just not getting hired.

Why do I do this to myself? Why do I think that good things can actually happen and stay around for me? I should know better than that, I only deserve shit.

I just have no idea what to do anymore. Prison is starting to sound okay, cause at least I'll have three meals and a roof over my head, and maybe I'll get a job farming talapia fish for two cents an hour. Lords knows that would be more money than I'm making right now. I'm lying on my resume about when the last time I was unemployed because it's been almost two fucking years now.

I want to apply for welfare or something, but because my parents make 6 figures a year, I can't apply for almost anything. Whatever assistance I can get comes directly out of my parents pockets regardless, so my dad doesn't want me doing that.

Then there's suicide.

Here's a number if you need someone to talk to gnarly 1-800-273-8255

I don't see what you're trying to say, rinny. What external factors could be the cause? Is there always something that happened to the manager that made him/her have a bad day? I like to think that I'm pretty good at putting myself in other peoples shoes.

And for the number, thanks, but I've only had bad experiences when it comes to that.
