Why is it so hard to be a part-time bank teller (or to get any job)?

    She told me when I graduated college that she could not help me when I asked if she had any connects.

      I also wonder why they lived in a ****ing ****hole if she worked in a bank.

        Addicted to Wall Street, maybe? I have no idea. We lived in extremely modest conditions... one bedroom apartments, no heat or a/c, etc.


        My father has an SJD from GW Law, by the way. But he works overseas so that might explain why he had no money.

              I took advantage of my school's internship program, which easily got me into IBM. It was easy from then on. Now I've got friends working for Google, MS, Apple, all of the big investment banks, and tons of random smaller companies across North America. That gives me access to positions that are not necessarily advertised for publicly, and I get a foot in the door with recommendations.

              Job-hop and be charming.
              And now I have Asher to help me land a bigger and better job.

                More to the point, why would you add that to your resume? Seriously. I'm not trying to be an ass, I really want to know.

                  This isn't an ass point. This is a good point.

                              On my first real job after graduating I had a disagreement with my boss and quit. I'm happy I didn't tell him what I actually thought of him or the job and left on good terms. After I quit I worked as a consultant for them for few years. About 15 years after that I again worked for them as a consultant. About 10 years age I joined them again as an IT Director and have been working here ever since.
                              You never know what the future holds.

                              • albert, you made an arse of yourself, but it really doesn't matter. you didn't want to work there anyway and all you've done is ensured that you won't be able in the future.

                                that's not to say that quiting wasn't a dick move, but you shouldn't beat yourself up over the way you did it.
