well, I almost never make threads about somewhat personal things but this can be asked here I think.
Well here's the situation. I work for a fast food restaurant (A&W) getting 8 bucks an hour. I've been trying to get out of fast food for a long time now (last 3 years) but it turns out its the only kind of job I can get.
nobody else in my town pays as low as where I work. and I get the worst hours, 5-10pm about 3 days a week. I don't really make enough to live normally even still in my parents house.
I'm a good worker, but in my situation Id have to magically transform into someone else to get better hours. My boss is only 27 and she really shouldn't own a full business to herself.
I'm taking a year off school because I graduated first try. (wasn't sure honestly If I would or not)
so I'm not going to school or anything now in a couple weeks, I just need a job that's somewhat related to cars to work at and save some money. Fast food is driving me crazy.
I wanted to actually try for a car salesman position but I'm pretty sure I won't be taken seriously just because I'm not very tall and/or loud in general.
The people in the dealerships sort of shrugged when I handed them a resume for a lot attendant position. so I can only Imagine what they'd think if I came in asking for a job selling cars. so I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for this kind of thing.
or even if anyone has any half decent ideas. I gotta half a mind to put in a resume over at wal-mart in the auto section. Thats how badly I want to stop making burgers.
Thanks in advance to anybody.
