Haha, this is the clincher: this company is so small that they don't give full-time offers to interns. The manager asked me if this was alright. I had no other choice as beggars =/= choosers.

Wow..u know what tho?? It still goes on ur resume so that's good..u can also network while u r there too
 
If anyone has money to spare and time, get a Red Cross Water Safety Instuctor certfication ( WSI ) Gives you the proper certifications to teach kids how to swim. Past summer I racked up about 3.5k, teaching for the city. Easy but a little stressful. 630am-1130am then again 630-9pm. Pay was 18.21/hr. My other job was paying me 13 without the license and they haven't upped my pay yet but most of the places in my city pay about 15-21/hr or 28-32/hr for private lessons..

or you can get the certification and post ads up and charge heads 20/hr and lowkey start ya hustle
 
Question for the more experienced NTers:

I'm currently a senior interviewing for full time jobs

I have an interview set up Wednesday for the current company im working at right now in a different department (very similar work to what i do now but different departments). Anyway, this was an on campus recruiting position which means they look at resumes and come to campus on a certain day and we choose the time. It's only a 30 min interview so im assuming just interview with an HR person and then if selected a more lengthy interview. Since i work for the same company, what sort of questions would i ask at the end of the interview? Usually i have some but since i already work for the company it wouldnt make sense since i already know the answer.  was thinking of something like what are the next steps here but i also need other questions. Any ideas?

use glassdoor to look up interview questions. Ever since my first job interview ive been using the site to see what kind of standard question's each company asks. Some of the interview questions were on point when I showed up to the interview.

ive had 5 different positions with my company..ur interview will b relatively easy..they will skip a lot of questions..I'd ask about the expectations for the position so you can set the bar high for yourself..also ask about the criteria for promotions (or what it takes to get to the next level within the dept)..remember internal highers have a huge advantage over the rest..just hav your boss and your boss' boss put in a good word and u should b golden
 
Just had 3 interviews so far and got rejected for all. Well except for the last one still hearing back from them. Feels bad man.... i was trying to be optimistic but it really takes a toll on you. Tired of getting rejected 3x. :smh:
 
Don't have an interview for another 2 weeks. Should I take a per diem position with another company, in case the interview doesn't work out? Pay is probably nothing special like $13/hr. I figure per diem is no commitment and I can get promoted within, once they see my work.

Read the post above yours. $13 may not be something special to you but it's something...

Got an interview tomorrow at FED EX lord knows I hope I get it. Tips?
Click to expand...

eye contact
no strong odors like cologne
be ready for questions..with examples
no one word answers
it's ok if ur not ready for a question..think about it and then speak
if they ask something like what is your biggest weakness..say that u r a perfectionist or u set the bar a little too high for yourself sometimes
ask questions..like more details about the position, environment, how to advance
be confident but not cocky

and..good luck

I think my interview went well. The guy gave me his personal experiences, asked me what's my shift for my current job, and we laughed throughout the interview. He also told me how many applicants applied and how many they're hiring.

The waiting game begins.

This is exactly how I feel while looking for jobs online. Smh. I have a job now but I'm always looking. Can't believe it's taking me so long to find something.

If you live in a major city look for concierge jobs with these luxury apt complexes.

My girl got a PT with basically no previous experience and moved to a FT at another company 5 months later. I know most start at 14 hr.

Bozzuto and Equity Residential are the main ones in the DC area.

That's what I do. Live in NYC and work in a high end condominium with all millionaires. It's a great gig with decent pay and also a good part time because at the end of the year, you will be banking $$$$ from the residents depending on building size and the people.  I'm not talking about no $800-$900 in earnings either....

Graduated december 13' with a degree in communications and have been interning for a magazine/media company since around February. Ive been thinking about leaving my internship and finding a job elsewhere as I can no longer afford to work without being compensated and bill/student loans are piling up. Im kinda torn on whether I should leave or not but during my time there I havent really seen any room there for me to grow or even start my full time career. I havent been this lost in my life. Hopefully I can find something soon.
