    Job hunting sucks, yo.

    I've applied to so many places. I've called them all.

    I hate waiting around to get called back, I like knowing if I have a chance or not so I know whether to move on or not.

    But Buffalo Wild Wings told me to call them at 2, so that's a great sign!

    And Cracker Barrel is looking over my application and said they'll call me later today!

    I am nervous, because I've only ever had once job that I got when I was 16 and I had it until I moved. So I forgot how much this BS sucks.

    Wish me luck guys. :3 I need to help my parents pay our bills. And I need to help buy groceries. And I need to start paying my own phone bill to help my parents out.

    Times are tough. ):

    G'luck bro, worst is when they never call you back :L I applied to so many retail jobs a couple summers ago and it's like, you don't even have a freakin minute to call me back saying sorry you hired someone else -.- it's embarrassing enough to ask them again in person and have them tell it to your face tch

    Key is having a good C.V. and sticking at it - don't get deterred!

    Once you get some interviews your confidence will grow and I'm sure you'll do fine man

    I've applied to those places too! those are crazy close and similar to my area haha crazy!!!
    but yea i found it best to fill out the application there and ask to speak to a manager. Almost always works, it shows you really want the job and that you took the time to fill out the app the same day. then if they say they will call you back, go up there and be like I was giving yall time to review my app and is just coming back to see if yall are interested in hiring me. it puts a face with a name and all that mumbo jumbo.

    Yeah, I plan on doing that. I just need the access to a vehicle. Makes it hard not having my own car.
