Post Reply New Topic

Because i havent found a job yet, vocational rehab said they are running out of man hours to devote to me. If i dont get a job soon they are gonna close my clase for a year.
They wont pay for me to go to school until i have worked for three months, because they dont know how stable i am.

maybe you are setting your sights too high for the job market. Can you do retail, fast-food? just go any old place and get an application. They just want to see "something". Just get in and tell yourself and KNOW that it won't be permanent.

Are there medical issues that you have to work around? Perhaps someone could offer job suggestions appropriate to you if we knew where you were on that aspect.

thats what im doing.

I have aplied for home depot, walmart, burger king, blimpies dunkin donuts-nothing

how do you dress when you go in? wear nice pants and a nice shirt, ask for a manager when you go in, wait patiently (or with what looks like patience, stand as still as you can and try to look calm). When the manager comes look them in the eyes briefly and offer your right hand to "shake" grip firmly but not tightly and shake up/down once. Smile slightly during the shake and say thank you when it is over, then walk with your back straight and head up out the door.

It's all in presentation, sad to say. If you need to go crazy once you are in the car and a block down the road pull over and do so. It's all that first impression thing. It would also help if you could find a way to "type" your application out. It would look more professional.

yeah more or less did that

I can't look people in the eye ... but if you look at their teeth, they generally can't tell the difference

Have you considered doing VOLUNTEER work in your community...someplace that interests you and where the need is great?

There are many, many places to VOLUNTEER in your community...a soup kitchen, working with children, in a local hospital, a nursing home, a local library...such opportunities are endless.

Never discount the value of UNPAID work as it can pay dividends later in your life. In fact, when employers look at a job application, they often will look first at the section of VOLUNTEER activities on a person's job application. Volunteer work speaks loudly in telling an employer what kind of person you really are...until they get to know you. Also, many times, volunteer work opens up doors for you to get paid for a job when a job opening presents itself.

In addition, volunteer work shows that you are stable, that you are responsible, dependable and can be on-time at the place you are "working" as a volunteer...and DVR will recognize VOLUNTEER work as legitimate, real life work.

Best of luck to you!

my job coach said she is gonna stick with me even though dvr is gonna cut them off soon.
