Was it through friends, internet or phone ?

Was there like 4 interviews and checks before you got the job ?

Got it back in 2002 while I was in High School. My mom was good friends with the person in charge of hiring, so I got the job.

I had a resume online, someone in HR at my employer saw it, set up an interview. I had two phone screens, then came into the office twice for interviews with 7 different people for a total of about 6 hours, then got an offer about a week later.

When I got my job in the summer, I applied online. Went to one interview and they hired me on the spot. My job wasn't really that great though.

i've been at mine for a few weeks now. i applied like 4 times before anything ever happened. i just went and talked to a lady there and there wasn't much that happened, she scheduled me an interview and i had it and that was pretty much it, i took a drug test but i passed it.

Good luck finding a job right now, especially if you have an education.

My dad was the head cook at the place and asked the GM if I can work there. I got the job.

Family connection. Tried to get a job literally everywhere before I resorted to asking family for a job.

I used them fairly often.
I called them. They said, "ok."

Applied online, had to do an online test, then went for a group interview. I then got the call and was invited to go work for them.

Walked to the store, asked one who worked there if they needed some extra help. He said yes, but that the owner of the store had to fix this about hiring new employes. So I returned 2 days later with a small note about what I was doing for time being, he looked at it then hired me.

That was my first guess. But think about it, You wouldn't need special physical tests for that.

Pushing buttons all day gets tiring for most people. You just don't realize how much work it is since you've built up a ton of button pushing stanima from playing video games.

Hm, I'm too young to work. :(

However my place of choice would be a game developer. Have no idea how to get a job like that though. :lol:

Lilyanne46
Yeah, good luck getting that. :P I went in, took a test, filled out an application, and impressed the owner to get the job. That was two years ago.

I'd applied for over 50 jobs in the summer and didn't get a single call. A guy at the temp agency my mum used to work under owed her a favour and she mentioned that I was looking for work and a week later I was at DRI doing admin :) I'm still under the agency, been working at Tickhill for the past 2 months and they've extended the contract so I can stay another 3 :D
