Pay 200 bucks to have your resume upgraded on career builders to get the maximum visibility.
Draw back to doing this though is that you'll be getting called every day by shit jobs offering shitty hours, or benefits, or wages, or whatever. It gives you great experience at being picky though, and if you're not, then more power to you... wait, no, fuck that. Get a job. It's a lot easier getting a new job if you already have a job. Much like a girlfriend. They smell the lack of desperation.

That's fucking England all right. I claim my English grammar is superior to most brits of my generation I've ever had a chat with. They may live in England, but their grammar tends to remind me of a poorly structured and almost unreadable SMS. Good grammar and sentence structure is a basic fundamental while applying for jobs. I'd never hire a guy who writes like a 12 year old on chat roulette.
I've even noticed you score a lot better on exams simply by good sentence structure. Two years ago me and a girl from class compared our answers on an exam in ecology; we both wrote basically the same answer, but I scored a B and she scored a C. Might have thought language (other than correct use of scientific terminology of course) shouldn't make a difference in such a course, but I am positive I scored higher because of proper sentence structure accompanied by better vocabulary and good grammar... On a sidenote she complained about her score, but didn't make a difference.
Now I can't remember what the topic was, fucking 04:36 AM here...good night.

adapt to your surroundings because it doesn't work the other way around. money is money. i'm positive your local mcdonalds is hiring.
glad i came into this thread because now i can gloat about that raise i got today.
Bitch please, i just got a 25% raise lol.
R-$ is on the money. If you walked in to an interview looking like Rob Squire with faggoty long hair (yes i know he chopped it), face piercings and wrist tatts you'll get laughed at. And please, learn some conversation skills and make eye contact.
Holy shit some people have real hard on for spelling and grammer. me i real dont care lol im on a mobile phone writing this, it has tiny little letter and i have big ass engineers hands . im a practical person my good with my hands english has never beem my strong suite if you want a polished word perfect post i am capible but it more effort and time i can be arse putting in to a message board post
an my C.V is check reguarly by career advice professinals. being ex military i have a hole network of people there to help and advice with all aspects of finding a job
if nothing pans out by the time i'm like 27 i'm going to be an officer to piss all my veteran friends off.
Have you considered working freelance in some capacity, or starting your own business?
I started my own company a year and a half ago, right during the job market crash, after getting fired for the 1000th time. Best thing I ever did.
Ye i did start 2 when i left the airforce. had to shut 1 down after a few weeks though basicaly not enough hrs in the day to run a shop a cafe in different locations with a wife who dont drive and 2 kid under 2years old so concentreated on 1 which my wife and sister took over when i got my higher paying engineering job all about the money
why wait do you realy need your mate aproval to advance yourself. look at the big picture there is a hole world outside the military and you want to be in the best possible position when you leave
the joke is by joining the millitary with a college degree i'll be a higher rank than anyone i know who's already spend 4+ years in the service. they'd use to tell me about how they hated taking orders from officers.
so far my college degree hasn't gotten me shit. should I have gotten a different degree? probably. but nothing else interested me when I went to college. I wanted to build, not to design. so I took up construction science.
college isn't for everyone. I know understand that and wish I did something else. I'm still trying to get out there and network but if nothing pans out, I figure I might as well use my degree for something other than a reminder of 5 wasted years.
mate you could say i wasted my high school education spent more time on my skates than worring about education or the future. its only after i joined the military hung up the skates for 10 years and pulled my finger out that i achevied what i have
But I thought I was guaranteed a job because I went to college!
I mean, I live in Brooklyn, and it's a shithole: like $1497 a month for a one bedroom.
I got a bachelors in design and a minor in French. What gives?
It's not that bad, though. My parents shoot me rent every month, so I don't have to worry about the roof.
But it's really cutting into my social life in NYC. I can't drink at bars, and all the Jewish girls look at me like I'm scum.
I thought I would make right outta college! I knew the right people, but I'm getting scared!
Thank fucking god my parents can front me rent in this city at least. I feel grateful knowing no matter how hard it gets in park slope (it's rough) I can at least have a roof over my head and have a smoke.
I just wish someone would gimme a fucking chance.
I'm a greeter at walmart
seems to be the same story everywere years at uniniversity/ collage for what seems like nothing more than a totaly unrelated crap job just to put food on the table and more than ever it aint what you know its who you know
or you do somthing tolaly extreme like offer your services for free in a design company take a gamble to get your foot in the door
Join the SAS brah, that'd be killer.

Yes you just turn up and tell them 'I'm HERE TO JOIN THE SPECIAL AIR SERVICES BRAH!'
Yes, exactly what I had in mind. There's selection twice a year though, the majority of candidates have an airborne forces background. Of course it's tough as fuck but indeed it would be killer.

went to an interview today for an IT consultancy firm and got offered it there and then! properly happy right now.
