Im looking for work, I have went to websites that are suppose to be temporary services but all I get is calls from either out of state or colleges, I have put in applications at "home depot, lowes, gander mountain, harbour freight, walmart, meijers, toys and babys r us, couple different factorys, walker farms, local green houses. And all without any luck, All had help wanted signs hanging.. My biggest problem is I do not have ANY EXPERIENCE. I am ready to work hard and get payed little to nothing for someone but it has to be a legal job so I can get some experience on my resume.
I may b able to get u into labor where I work at mr. Rooter, but its in macomb and only like 9bux an hr
Mcds is always hiring
you got to be more persistant dont just hand in a application call them back or check in with them see if they reviewed ur resume you will probally have a better chance of being hired if you do that show them you are really interested in wotking for them oh and you will usually never get hired at them kind of places through the internet

Well I did call the smaller places, but like home depot and stuff is all internet "they told me", I called all the green houses, couple factorys and harbour freight. But none answered, and i forgot to add i put in application at red robins and Old country buffet, and the manager laughed at me as i walked away

Hell the one factory was in lapeer. And thanks for the offer in macomb but unless its $10+ i cant drive that far.
go to the mall and stop at every store there and fill out apps. Its not going to be a fun day or a fun job but it will get you foot into the working world and get some "job experience" and something to put on a resume
Make sure you have put on your resume any volenter work you have done. Company's are looking for people who thing outside the box.
Also, take a class in computers at a college, learn how to use a mutli-line phone system and they will look at you differently. Good luck.

I do put experience on my resume, and as for college that might end up being what i do once i figure out what i want to do for the rest of my life.

I see this but if i can help it i do not want to work with money, its to tempting to pocket. And no i do not steal stuff. Just temptations.

Me too but I wasn't laid off at the time that I turned them down LOL
lowes in flint on corruna rd is hiring seasonal employees, my brother just had an interview today and he said it went pretty good hes got another one with the lumber manager on wednesday. Also hes got no work experince so if they'll take him im sure you could get in loll
dude, not wanting to work with money due to being tempted to take it sounds kinda bad. To work in retail, or really any other line of work you will havgta handle money. Kinda limiting yerself to mindless labor otherwise.
in all honesty, i havent gotten many jobs from an application. go hit the local cement guys, or a block layer, or lawn rats, or a junkyard, or go be a titty bar bouncer. there is work everywhere, get off the couch big red!
if you just want a labor job where ya dont have to think much or handle money try discount tire, they are usually looking for someone who won't question whats going on and all you gotta do is handle tires all day ;D
ok, i went to manpower, as advised by a member, and im a employee of manpower. now i wait for a call.
Yeah I'm a "employee of manpower" never got a call in 3 years lol. I work for "trillium staffing" now and I been laid off for a month.. gotta watch out with these temp agencys.
well everyone gets a chance, ill give them 5 days to call me if nothing ill find another.. i have put 4,000 miles on my car since i got fired, one trip to gladwin and 2 to the mounds only things not trying to get work.
yep Ive had no luck from manpower either.... everyone I know Says bad things about them
Did u try any landscaping places?
I went to manpower and got a job the same day been at Acument global technology for about a week and I got two friends that got in here from manpower and they are hired into the plant.

my dads neighbor works there, I went to manpower to get in there a while ago and they laughed at me... I got more experience and recommendations than 90% of the idiots that get hired there. "No offense to you personally" I didnt take to well at them laughing at me, pretty much got up and walked out of the interview I mean who does that? Alot of my buddies that went to manpower have had about the same experince.
Yeah I heard the same it's really just a 50/50 chance. I agree tho there are some idiots that work there And it's all good there are a lot of people who have better skills then me in different areas
