Q. I know this has nothing to do with sports, but I don't want the opinions of people on the careers page, I want to talk to people actually in my situation. I recently graduated high school and am looking for a job. I get turned down time and time again. I'm applying to a lot of places like Toys R Us, Office Depot, Target, things like that. Anyone else my age have a job out there? If so, where and how did you get it? Am I applying at the right places? Please, I'm in need of college ca$$$h.
A. i know some of my friends got jobs at really small stores that no one has ever heard of. i had it a little easier because my dad runs his own business so i work at his place...but try applying at places that may need receptionists like a local gym or rec center. some country clubs may also need locker room attendants because of the summer and more people going out to golf and swim and such. it also depends on where you live and what types of places are popular around there. i live in a very golf-oriented community so country clubs are always hiring around here. other than these, its difficult to find jobs just about everywhere. good luck!
How long does it take for a job to call you?
Q. I'm 16, on Friday I applied at 8 different places like TJ Maxx, Sears, JCP, Starbucks, Toys r Us, Bath & Body Works, Clairs & Ross... I know it's only Sunday but I really need to start making some money and I'm getting really impatient. How long does it take for a job to call you back if they are interested?
A. When it comes to finding ways to earn money, consider a Denver (Colorado, USA) woman that lost her upper management job. She started a simple business picking up dog droppings that led to earnings of over $75,000 a year, working outside, setting her own hours, and could be done using a bicycle as transportation. It is also something a child age 10 and up can do alone, an adult can do, or a whole family can do together. This article describes how.

In this economy, you need to think outside box. Companies are refusing to take applications from the unemployed resulting in many giving up.

Do righties think that creating minimum wage jobs is the same as creating career tracked good paying jobs?
Q. Rick Perry seems to be quite proud of his record of creating minimum wage jobs in texas over the recent years. I'm not sure if we should be counting McDonalds and Toys R us on the job creation tally.
A. Why does your track record overlook the many businesses that Perry has enticed to move to Texas during his time as governor?
What lies should I put on my resume?
Q. I've had two previous jobs, but I didn't get them using a resume. It was through connections and such but I worked at these places for like 3 years. I wanted to get another job now and was thinking of applying at Toys R Us or any other big company, as a cashier. I applied at a Food Basics once but never heard from them. I was thinking I should lie a little to improve my resume. Does anybody know any lies that would seem impressive but believable for a 16 year old male with previous job experience.
A. Lying on a resume or job applications is a giant career no-no. Get caught and you can kiss your chances for getting any other jobs buh-bye.
