Got a job!

So, after over a full year of job hunting, I finally got a job (at GNC!). It's only 12-15 hours a week at first, so I'm gonna need to dip into savings pretty heavily, but it's one hell of a lot better than nothing!

I walked in and asked if he was hiring, and he said no. As I was about to open the door out, he tells me to come back (I must have been looking sad or something?), and pretty much offers me a job! He told me to apply online first, and fill out a form that he's going to fax to HQ, and once my background check clears, I get a job! Probably next week, I'll be a workin' man >:O

Just thought I'd share

Congrats mate! I know how hard it is finding a job anywhere at the mo (I've just gone past the 1 yr mark) so nice one! :grog:

Does the job pay well? :unsure:[/quote]

It actually...didn't come up xD - i'm assuming minimum wage, though.
 
Congrats. I know how much it sucks to be unemployed. Hopefully my own fortunes will change following my interview at Eutechnyx Gaming next week. Entry level games designer, no experience necessary, just be keen. Sounds ideal. Of course I'd have to move to Newcastle, a city I know fuck all about, but beats sitting here in Coventry, where anyone who can spell their own name is overqualified.

Wish me luck. And once again, congrats.
 
i followed since "this is the end of the line topic"

an i am really happy for you :D

good luck mate :D
 
People said it would only be a matter of time. :)

Congratulations on getting a job after all. :)
 
Ah so the secret to getting a job is to look as pitiful as possible...gotcha :D. Anyway that's great to here!
