Yea, right, that's as bad as saying to a finance company on the mortgage or your car loan "yea, the checks in the mail".

Like I tell everybody else that's looking for a job, don't WAIT on phone calls (trust me it won't get you anywhere, been there, done that).

Remember, if you really WANTED a job BAD enough, you'd be saying one of two things....
1. "Welcome to Wal-Mart" or
2. "Would you like fries with that?".

Those places are ALWAYS hiring and it's income no matter what, and it pays the bills (in most cases anyway).

The ole saying is true, "It's easier to find a job, if you HAVE a job already", and that includes the minimum wage jobbies as well.

Good luck, don't depend on other people to find you that job, it's YOUR responsibility to find it yourself, don't pawn it out to other people while you "wait on a phone call".

I think that is the problem.

You DON'T want to work at Walmart. Sams could be good.

Discount Tire seems right up your alley though.

Yeah Discount Tire worked very well for me when I was in school. I think they start at $9/hr. You will have black **** under your nails for a while but you will be in good shape.

I think it is that "text messaging" grammer. That will not cut it on an application.

If you want a good paying job try the post office since you will be graduating in 3 months. 1-800-800-1815 ext. 1815. the average postal worker makes about 50 grand a year or more. Also, I work for AT&T and the top pay here is a tad over 26 an hour you can try them too at&t.com and click on careers and see what they have in your state. down here in New orleans most guys made upper 5 figures or low 6 figures

It's not that he was quizzing you, it's just that it is easy to read and understand what you are saying when you type more professionally.

You'll learn, you're just new to the forums
