I need a job

So I went to that National Hiring Day at McDonalds on Wednesday, I still haven't received a call from them. The manager that interviewed me said I did great on the answers and said they'll contact me in a couple of days. I need to get a job in like a month or I'm gonna get kicked out of the house. Help me Basil.

Werk for Mr Basil as a mod. All you have to do is ban 85% of basil on a daily basis.

Craigslist is good, but most importantly, you should be assertive. Grab applications by person if you can, and turn in your resume TO THE MANAGER BY PERSON. That's how I got my job.

You probably won't get a job, because you like Asking Alexandria.

I got an email from another place I applied to earlier today asking me to come for an interview. Wish me luck.

Call them and talk to the manager, mention your name and when you had an interview with them.

Your chance of getting those jobs without connections is 1/10. Don't sit there and wait to get a reply. Chances are, the manager forgot about you by now. You need to constantly be applying for jobs. 10+ a day.

[quote=Liam]Hmm well for the references honestly use anyone, chances are for mcdon's they don't call your references. literally anyone for those like friends, friends boyfriend, brother's girlfriend, sirkibble's #
just anyone who [i]can[/i] put in a good word for you
otherwise go to like local restaurants of your ethnicity and make/drop a resume at their place & don't be scared. what're they gonna do? throw away a piece of paper at worst.
but yeah connections other friends,social media,parents/uncles/gruncles are usually the easiest venue to snag a job
and you've tried applying to retail stores online yeah?[/quote]

Pretty sure they meant previous job references. Walmart did the same thing when I tried to apply last year.
Look through a few different local newspapers if you still haven't figured out how to use the Internet to look for jobs.

[quote=AbsymalTorment]I did ask my friend who works at McDonalds and he said to apply online... I really can't cause they ask for 3 references o_o Not sure why a entry level job specifically for high school students asks for 3 references. I only have 1 reference.
I did look online and applied to another place.
There are only 3 rooms at my house (parents, brothers, and mine)[/quote]

[quote=Liam]Have you tried asking your friends if they know of any positions open around their place of work?
Also craigslist might have stuff (its where i got my second job)
otherwise what I did to avoid getting kicked out of my house in Seattle, I would just rent out my room through airbnb to people especially around convention time[/quote]
