simply put, i don't fucking care if you smart as hell, if you cant continue a damn conversion, dress like you don't give a fuck, have breath that smells like rhino butt, i aint hiring your ass. |
LOL. I am sure I have all of that down! Here's to hoping I will get to that stage soon enough!

I have a friend who had a 3.8 (SFU) GPA and worked at McDonalds for 6 years to make ends meet... He busted his ass there, got multiple promotions, and only left when he landed an amazing job in his field of study during his 4th year. IIRC, even when he was a TA at SFU he still worked p/t at McD's.
Quoting my post from the previous page...
To give you perspective, I had 1+ year of co-op experience (SFU accounting), 1 year of experience in an analytics/evaluator position, 2+ years of retail experience, and 3 years of service experience working as a waiter/bus-boy. On top of that, I had great references and recommendations from all my past employers, various volunteer experiences at SFU, and even a 'best customer service award' at one of my retail jobs. Even with all that, I wasn't able to land a single interview... and a lot of the positions I applied to were minimum wage, dead-end positions.

It seems so odd, having all this directly related experience and not hearing anything back, huh? I feel that our approach is probably off if we have the same experience as everyone else. That or our resume format is off. I would love to speak to you about this some more as I am in a similar position as you, except I haven't graduated yet.

I do work minimum wage at the moment! It's part-time so I make next to nothing! I want to be able to afford school and other expenses for the year. But overall, I don't mind working for minimum wage!
