The Daily Chit-Chat [Summer or Winter Edition]

[Skip Class]

Lolz it was quite funny because in the Summer Holidays back in January I entered one of those text the code on the coke bottle competitions just to give it a try and 2 weeks later Coke called me and said I won an Xbox 360 and Kinect, though only have Kinect games at the moment so it's gotten a bit boring

 

[2Cool4Mewtwo]

I'm kind of sad to say I was (and probably still is) spoiled all my life until I started making my own money by working. I have almost everything.

 

[Sweet Candace]

I need to find a job as quickly as I can. I'm going to need one so I have something to do on the days I won't have college during the Fall semester.

 

[Seуmour]

I'm also on the lookout for any job vacancies within my area, although I doubt I will find one with good pay, and I am in serious need of the money --college, rent, and general desiderata. I've applied to many jobs, all of which I got rejected due to my inexperience.

 

[Netto Azure]

Eh, I don't have much in the way of consoles. I've only owned portable Nintendo systems all my life. And a PC. o3o

Plus urgh jobs, hard to find one. D:

 

[Kylie-chan]

More of a handheld / PC gamer myself, but there's a PS2, a GameCube, an Xbox, a Wii, and an Xbox 360 in my house.

As for Kaga infuriating Joe... haha, a noble work!

I'd love to be a dedicated DCCer, but I am far too busy. :U

And I am having a hard time choosing between a Visa prepaid or waiting for a 3DS card. :\

Dunno, how much do you want to buy? lol. You can use a Visa prepaid card on anything, but you have to pay ~$5 extra for them. If you just want to spend $10 on games and don't really want to spend $45+ (out of a $50 card + $5 fee) on anything else then just wait for a 3DS card.

Ugh. same here. But the best part of my college career is coming next month, though...I'll be on externship. :D

 

[Jack O'Neill]

I'm not much of a gamer in general nowadays. All I have are a first-gen PS2, a seven-year-old PC, and several GBCs. Needless to say, my gaming backlog is massive.

As for having a job at this point in time, forget it. I'm a full-time student, so my schedule couldn't accomodate a job even if I wanted one. Besides, my financial aid is adequate enough to pay for everything I want or need.

It's not what you know, it's who you know. Connections can get you pretty far when experience can't.

I really wish I knew more people so that finding a job could be easier, ah well I guess I'll just have to hope for luck, as that is also an important factor.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

I don't have connections or luck, and my degree is proving to be worth nothing in my job search. It's pushing me to my wit's end, and I don't know how much more rejection and being broke and living back home I can take :/

Again, if you have a degree and nobody's hiring, go to Officer Candidate School and go career military all the way. It may be your only viable option if your job search is really going that badly.

Having a job is a good thing most of the time. By the way, I am wondering what's Officer Candidate School?

Though, you'll also need to determine whether you'll be liking the alternative job you'll be getting. There's no point in working in a profession you don't like, so... be careful.

Oh gawd the Undergrads, Med Students and Residents in this internship I do tell me that a lot. Jeez, maybe I should just open up my Facebook to network with people. u_u

If you have time you should volunteer somewhere. That helps you build connections and gives you more chances for lady luck to shine on you.

I have my current job because I came to a bookstore to help with a book donation event they were having and I learned from one of the people who worked there that they'd be hiring for some temporary workers soon, but that they hadn't gotten around to advertising yet. I don't know if they ever did. I got a job there and then through people there I got my current job.

 

[Chairman Kaga]

You know what the single most important quality for getting a job is?

Being born 1985 or before. If you weren't out of college before the fall of 2008, you were on the other side of that horrible line of demarcation that defined you as the excess, unwanted generation that was casually left to rot by everyone older than you in a cesspool of crushed ambitions. I hate to say things like this, but my extended unemployment is an enormous sore spot for me. Time is ticking and I have nothing to show for it.

 

[blue]

Looking for a job.. is a job in its self, it seems like it's all about who you know rather than qualifications at this current time which is pointless ;/
I'm having so much trouble finding a job it's so irritating.

 

[Black Ice]

I still haven't found a job yet but I think have a pretty good reference for Panera Bread. As in, the owner of the plaza. He agreed to talk to the manager on my behalf, since he knows about my situation and my academics and everything. I might have a chance.

Still, juggling school, the gym, and a job isn't going to be easy. But the extra monies...

Fffff! I love Panera Bread! They are sooo good. :3 Good luck on that job!

Their food actually makes me feel good too. Unlike fast food. :P

I start training at Taco Bell tomorrow. o: I hate Taco Bell's food. xD;

 

[Kylie-chan]

Good luck with your training! I suppose not loving Taco Bell means you won't be standing there, mouth watering and giving your customers envious looks as you hand over their food, haha. XD; My friend works at a soft-serve ice cream parlour and I... I don't think I'd have the endurance... XD
