I can't use it for anything. Retail gets you jobs in retail.

I worked both at walmart and at fast food when I was younger

**Or it gets you just enough money to fuck out of a place with no job prospects to a place that offers something.**

do not have a degree

and I make probably more than most here

NOPE.

I have to admit, I've seen the treadmill scrub is talking about

It did for me

You know what doesn't help on your resume? A big fat load of nothing for several years

ITS NOT A LIVING WAGE, YOU CANNOT USE IT TO SETTLE ELSEWHERE.

THIS IS BEYOND BASIC

find a roomate?

I did

**BEYOND** BASIC.

Lots of companies don't promote from within

Thank the lord.

which is why I moved from company to company every 2 years or so, doubling my salary

Specifically untrained employment.

alright. i'm still voting to cut social programs

I'D VOTE TO CUT THEM TOO.

I'm not trained, I'm self trained

seirously

The company would rather hire a college dropout than promote a high school diploma to manager.

never got an ounce of training for what I do

You get hired on that, because you've been hired before.

But to someone without CREDENTIALS, self-training is absolutely meaningless.

I had to start somewhere

and I started at the bottom

"Well Uh. Only Walmart vouches for you. So.. PASS, BRAH"

18 years ago

and that includes walmart

😃

This is the boomer problem manifest.

Your experience is completely irrelevant to what someone starting at the bottom has to deal with now.

no its not

Yes it is.

Tons of damn companies expect you to have two years experience for entry level positions

the world hasnt' changed that much

Yes it has.

They don't actually expect that

They just ask for it

^

Shut the fuck up Beemann

if you interview well

I've talked to HR people

it doesn't matter as much

People in charge of hiring

yeah we're talking standard boiler plate job reqs

an awesome resume gets you past that

trust me

Do you know what HR blacklists are.

yup

not on one

...

Why did you bother telling me you weren't on one

How the hell do you get that awesome resume though?

What am I meant to do with that information

You look around at what other people are doing and think about the job you're applying for

Or you take a class

lots of hard work and planning

or find something the local area is missing or short on, and start offering it the best you can

You take a class with WHOSE MONEY?

I think a big part of getting a good resume relies on having a connection so someone that can get you in somewhere for starters

Fuck me.

Bad question scrib

This conversation goes in perfect circles.

Pathetic.

you don;t get connections sit on your ass.

you get it by talking to people

CONNECTIONS?

^

NEPOTISM

networking

FUCKING NEPOTISM.

then you wont make it

and even shitty places like walmart gets you meeting people

NETWORKING IS A EUPHEMISM FOR NEPOTISM

you can't do it alone

ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

reee

yeah lots of reee

@Scribblehatch sorry to break it to you, but the world is full on who you know

It's the newest way you people clean up your language.

Yeah I know that.

And fuck the world.

@Scribblehatch I never said it was a good thing

because i'd rather hire someone i've seen work than a stranger who could be lying

Fuck nepotism.

Disgusting.

You absolute **worms**

You think this is proper?

cleanup on isle: scrib

You think these make good workplaces?

Gosh, what in the world was Gamergate originally about again?

WEIRD.

It's like nepotism is anti-consumer!

Right?

@Scribblehatch who do you trust more to do the job right? a stranger you need to take their word for? or someone who you know will do the work because you've seen it?

Fuck off.
