If you have limited experience the best thing you can do is look for a job where the employers actually prefer that you don't know dick so they can teach you their way of doing things.  This applies to everything from operating a cash register to working in a call center.

I have been in the same boat for a few months.  I wasn't working a "real" job, but I did manage to keep myself afloat by doing freelance web design.  Now I'm about to start work for a hosting/design company that's gonna yield decent pay, 50+ hours per week and ballin' benefits.  I'm actually pretty lucky considering I filled out applications for everything from DELIVERY TRUCK DRIVER to WEB DESIGN TECH SUPPORT. 

Just keep pluggin' away and you'll eventually find something.  Good luck!

I wouldn't wanna work at sears anymore after reading that and I hope you agree, Bareback. Guitar lessons it is.

what the... you'd rather work at sears for like 8 bucks per hour than teach guitar at like... 10 bucks a lesson / 20 bucks an hour???

if he's getting zero lessons then sears still pays more, duh

bump i got an interview monday at inservice america usa. a christian telemarketing company. prolly gonna be workin weekends

niiiice

sigh panda....

yeah, but say he works at sears at 8.50/hour, 40 hours a week. that's 340 per week. now let's say his shifts are 8 hours long. that's 5 shifts per day. now if he takes the bus to get there and back, it'd take 2.75 each way, so 10 x 2.75 is $27.5 on the commute. now maybe he drives instead and gas only costs 1.70 to get there and back and an average of 36 cents per trip on average repairs. that adds to $2.06 if he drives so $20.60/week. now since we don't know which one he'll take, let's round between the two. that means. $24.05 per week on transport. now assume he hits a small woodland creature once every 3 weeks and has to pay for clean up, that's $25/3 = $8.33 so in total $32.38. let's say he gets a discount on the clothes at sears and buys rnough shirts to provide 2.5 rags per week in the long run, that is 1.2 more rags than he would accumulate if he were teaching guitar. in addition, he would improve his guitaring abilities 2.6% more than he would playing air guitar to the elevator music at sears. however. his soul would slowly be sucked from working for a large company and he would feel 17 times less significant than he would teaching guitar. to make up for this lack of spirits, he would have to spend 1.3 hours a week volunteering at the local soup kitchen. this would in turn increase the risk of an unknown elbow infection, raising medical bills for subsequent years by $5.30 annually. on the other hand, teaching guitar aroudn unexperienced musicians raises the chances of a freak guitar string fatality. this could increase the cost of life insurance by $2.50. now if he plans to go into a career that requires sales, he might be further ahead if he works at sears. in this case, he could find a job closer to home requiring him to walk 5.2 miles less on average per day. this will lead to 0.07 - 0.1 gram of dirt collected by his nostrils during the walk (depending on location). this leads to a high chance of deafening snoring. in this case, hearing will be weakened. walking will in turn become more difficult and guitar playing nearly inpossible. however, without the ability to play guitar, he will be more inclined to take up a new hobby to benefit those with similar disabilities. in the end, it's really up to what he values: world peace or tuna sandwiches.

you completely left out taxes. money from sears is gonna get taxed too.

ive always wanted to solicit people with a lil tinge of christianity

my dream job...

ahahahahaha

so you've got to telemarket god or what

idk. i know during the 2008 elections they did robocalls and phonebanking for like Mike Huckabee n shit

dont mind me im just spreading the good news of jesus christ

Haha you're a telemissionary

this job is prolly (definitely) gonna blow, but i'm excited.

C.R.E.A.M. bitches

holy shit. okay, so from what i gathered while i was there right now they're: selling bibles, telemarketing for the local christian radio station, and doing this thing for JOEL OSTEEN where people CALL IN AND YOU PRAY WITH THEM. if i get the pray thing i want some GWers to call me while i'm at work so we can pray

other than it being REALLY FUCKIN HOT in the break room it didnt' seem too bad. at least i get to sit at a computer

I guess they don't care that thats an affront to Christianity because you don't believe in their god? did they even ask you when you started if you were religious?

gimme the number and I'll call acting like a really strung out addict or something.

notyet, i'm sure thats coming in the actual interview though

in the break room they had an enormous poster that said "DEBUNKING THE DAVINCI CODE"
