Sorry about that Gus, I thought that was you but it was somebody else that inquired me about. Since then (2 weeks ago) the position has been filled, but I will keep an eye open for you.

Jesus Christ Gus! still no luck? All the stores and malls are packed full probably with people still looking for help because everybody is on overtime, understaffed. Even if it's just seasonal when you show them that you can run rings around their regular workers you definately will be called when some of them leave.

Most of the places have already hired their seasonal workers, and the one that haven't aren't paying well. I realize that some money is better than no money but as soon as I get a job, I know they will kick me out of my house. I need a job that I can support myself on.

Just tell them that the only job you can find at the moment will not pay your way for a place to support yourself but you promise to save up and when you find something better that that's when you will move out. They being parents have to at least understand that, especially if you find something mininum wage TEMPORARILY (keyword)

Have you tried the Wal-Mart distribution center in New Caney. They are always hiring, and have several shifts. Base pay is like $13 an hour, then you get differential pay based on shift, location in warehouse ect. Good money, but you work your *** off for it.

$13 an hour is not that bad or a wage to start out with if your just looking for something to survive on, but how do positions like that stay open a lot because of the fact there are a lot of people that would rather work in a place even over $10 than flipping burgers etc. (not knocking anybody's jobs out there). One would tend to think at $13 there would be a constant line in the Human Resources door unless it's like 20 miles out in the desert.

Guz, look in the telephone book in the temporary agencies. Bring your resume that you should have made up, doesnt have to show you worked as head supervisor at a large corporation yada yada yada. In a temporary agency, you pretty much pick your area, almost pick your schedule, and if the company they put you in temporary position like you (after about a 90day probation) they are allowed to hire you permanently. I wished I or someone would have told you about that one.

.
The reason they are always hiring, is that the job is hard work, and not everybody can get the job done to Wal-Mart standards. As a result, it has high turnover, as a good percentage of the people that are hired, don't make it very long before they realize they can't do the job, and are going to get fired anyway for not meeting production or safety standards.
