me Tooooo I wanna job

But nobody wants me cause I only just finished High School

They say I need more EXP

This is the problem most employers have at this time, they ask for people to have experience but how can we have experience if no one wants to hire us?

 

[BakaHaze]

lol that's why you have to go volunteer for Exp, and when you level up to say 1/2 years of exp you can get a job Q___Q

or you can be like me and get a dodgy ass job at an asian store. DIdn't ask my name, didn't ask my tax number etc, just told me in mangled mando/canto mix to get to work

SOOOO TIRED

 

[kdowns]

xDDDDDDDDDDD

Yeah... I think once you have at least 6 months of experience you are set for a while.

ZOMG PARADOX. D:

Shouldn't it be easy to get temp jobs at retails outlets and fast food joints (like McDonalds) since it's the Christmas season. Unless everybody's already finished plucking the high school students off the street...

EDIT: (Man why does that sound so...pedo-ish....)

 

[BakaHaze]

Haha yeah but Maccas is a terrible place to work.

And my local retail outlet's already like full >__>

 

[Knifeshade]

Well I didn't necessarily mean Maccas specifically, but a job's a job tbh, especially if it's your first. They're not as bad as call centres though.

 

[BakaHaze]

Haha true call centres UGH

Cop so much crap

And yeah these days I get so many calls from machines that pre-dial your number before putting you through to the centre, so I hang up before that happens lol...

I've got it all figured out

But yeah Asian stores are so dodgey, didn't ask my age, or tax file number. Just told me to get in and work, and then handed me some cash and told me to leave once I was done >___>

 

[Adorien]

Haze... Maybe they don't like you.

I hate that so much...I do the same thing. If I don't hear a human on the other side the moment I say hello..."click"

 

[Knifeshade]

Haze... Maybe they don't like you.

LOL. Nah, it's just the way we work. Doing tax stuff is troublesome and stuff if it's just chinese people with chinese people, so everybody just skips the small things.

 

[BakaHaze]

Indeed.

It's just your usual Shady Asian business >___>

I wish we didn't have such a bad reputation..

But yeah often times these small things include things required by law

 

[Adorien]

Oh, I see. Sorry if I've said something bad.

 

[BakaHaze]

Why so serious Adi-cchi?

It's not like I care or anything...

I was just saying that most Asian stores tend to skirt dangerously close to the boundaries of law.

Anyways you started working yet?

I was just saying that most Asian stores tend to skirt dangerously close to the boundaries of law.

Are they trying to make you do the same?

 

[BakaHaze]

No, well, I was being paid below the minimum wage and stuff but none of it goes into any record and there's no tax on any of my money...

Lol I was just verifying if I was right, but I'm paid like 3 cents than the minimum wage or something cause I fall under the "junior worker" category.

Well the dodgiest thing we did was that the store owner got us to try and pick up a few shopping trolleys off the streets so that we could transfer a load of Watermelons from the loading bay to the front of the store. We put the trolleys we used back later, but still....

So no, I didn't work there long enough to see if there was any other stuff going on. It's not that bad, I think most of it is just tax evasion and stuff.

JUST Tax Evasion?!

 

[BakaHaze]

Yeah. That or avoidance. Which ever one is closer grey than illegal

I see. Well, I just... I hate it when I offend someone when I wasn't intending to (not that I ever intend to offend people... I just get angry sometimes ). So I thought maybe I've said something bad.

Anyways you started working yet?

Nope. Still looking.
