Aishtee do you live near southern california if so i think i know where you were laid off from, and if so your industry is hard to find jobs in

Have you been looking for a specific job, with high standards?

As long as you have the desire to work, you can find a job in under a day, however menial it is. Places like McDicks, Wal-Mart, local grocery stores/retail. Yeah, the pay is shit, but at least you get paid, rather than lounge around all day losing money, simply by living. The upside of these jobs is you don't have to give it your all, your supervisor doesn't expect much from you, and if you laze to the point of getting fired, you just apply to the store next door.

While you work those shit-jobs, keep applying for the jobs you want, so when you do get hired for it, you can make a quick transition. You can quit from the temp-job on the spot, they don't care. They even expect it; easy-in means easy-out.

Wow, I don't know about your McDonalds, it was my first job... They are very selective where I lived with high expectations. They don't take short-term employees and you have to take a short exam based on the employee manual before you can start working.

Ha, yeah. The expectations for franchise restaurants here are close to nil. Anyone that comes in with intent (when applying) to work is hired lickety-split. "NOW HIRING" signs everywhere. I had a friend whose first job was at a McDicks, he quit after 1 day. Actually, he didn't quit, he just stopped coming in, and wasn't until 2 weeks later that the manager called to see what's up.
