Did the person ever work before? Cuz they'll lose every job to someone who worked before even at McDonald's if the employer can confirm that person can show up on time and work well with the public and coworkers. If someone has never worked they are not only an unknown entity, they are fighting the current stereotype of being lazy and entitled cuz their mom is still doing their laundry while they play video games.

Companies don't want to waste training dollars and all that HR crap you have to do just to find out they hired someone who sleeps through their alarm or thinks a hangover is a legit reason to call in sick.

I always found it easier to learn notes after I knew all the sounds by heart. I still can't do notes at all but I can perfectly tune a guitar and violin by ear but I can't remember the daggon string names half the time.

And if you're a singer, straight up learn to read music. Otherwise the instrumentalists will pick on you: and they'll be right to do it. No one wants to coddle your lack of diligence

Agree, it was good but now the online job application system is sooo saturated between websites and recruiting companies. Apply using a mix of everything and even through friends and family connections in person! Job fairs help too, hit them up at any local colleges even if you don't attend the school, if you can get in of course.

Lol you live in a shithole if this is real advice.. In civilised countries it’s normal to offer people a ride (in rural areas) especially in bad weather. I will offer anyone a ride i see walking home on my way to and from work! Never had anything bad happen to me and was happy people offered me a ride when i was walking home from highschool!

I reached out to all local staffing agencies in my city and got set up with initial interviews. Some agencies are better than others. The last agency placement I received opened up a career door. While I no longer work at the job I was placed in, I work for a former customer I had in that role. Best of luck!
