wages

Okay, so you expect entry level to get paid less than those with experience. But think about it. Entry level you're probably just out of school/training. You have student loans and let's face it the higher you go, the higher the debt. You need a certain minimum wage. There's food, rent, utilities, various insurances, transportation, etc. And you just might be out all alone for the first time. It seems like at the time you need to make more money is when you make less. Now, I understand why entry level is paid less and I don't blame employers for rolling like that. It's just one of those situations where how life works just kinda sucks.

Venting.

New Season My Foot

If it really was a new season, there would be new episodes every week not every other week. Get it together people!

random gripe

And another thing:

You're applying for jobs so there's a chance that you don't have a job and therefor have no income. Yet you're supposed to buy the expensive stationary to send your resumes etc in on. And postage keeps going up. :-P

not encouraging

Why should I try to get up at a decent hour (aka before 3 pm)? It's kinda starting that if I get up at a decent times bad things happen. This is not encouraging me to get up at a respectable time.

?

Why are some appointments just so much harder to make than others? I don't even mean the difficulty in getting to speak to a person and getting a date set, I mean just working yourself up to make the phone call.

Call me picky but . . .

Okay, maybe I'm picky but I want a job. The way I loosely define a job is that I come in and do something for you and then you give me money. I'm cool if you hold back the first two weeks pay. If I quit after working for you for three weeks, I get three weeks pay in the end. I don't get the "advance payment/ commission" thing. I work for you three weeks and I owe YOU money?!?!?! Ummm, I'll pass on that thank you.

Sketchy?

We want you to work for us! We want go-getters, dependable people, sunshine and rainbows etc. New office in your area so you don't have to relocate. Are you interested? *Attempts to make an appointment with me. (which BTW in a Looong drive)* (I try to ask what I think are some pertinent questions to determine whether I'm interested.) The person will answer those questions during the presentation. Uh-huh.

Sketchy or just business practices of today?

Having a reversed sleep schedule.
