    Dial up modem?

    It is hard to get a job when ones phone is busy. Oh, who cares about work.

    Tell them that your primary contact is through email. Or get one of the newer dialup modems that still allows calls to go through.

    Well I try to stay off as much as possible during the day. I probably won't be working at Wal-Mart for even a year. The auto tech school I will be attending has a job placement program to help me start working at a shop. Something like Meinekee...

    Hey guys had my first day of orientation today. I clocked in 7 hours today and will do another 7 tomorrow and start work officially on Friday. What I don't get is this... Ok I had marked down my availability as 3pm-12am and total weekly hours of 30-34 hours. They gave me my schedule today and here's what it says...

    Nov. 9th(Sat)- work from 3pm-12am
    Nov. 10th(Sun)- work from 3pm-12am
    Nov. 11th(Mon)- work from 12pm-9pm
    Nov. 12th(Tues)- work from 12pm-9pm
    Nov. 13th(Wed)- work from 3pm-12am
    Nov. 14th- Off
    Nov. 15th- Off

    I'm not complaining or anything because I need all the hours I can get but that looks like more than 34 hours in a week which is the maximum hours I wrote down and I also wrote down I could work a max of like 6 hours a day. This is my first job so I don't want to sound stupid by asking you guys or anything but what is up with this?

    It sounds to me like they really need someone during those hours, and they are hoping that you will be that person.

    Well I was thinking to myself "Damn I need to work a lot of hours this month, I wonder if they can give me more" and sure enough they did. The only reason I want more hours is I have about 1 month before I start school and I need to work my ass off to get some insurance for my car and so forth. Ya know?

    heh Whatever you do don't ask for more hours and then go back to them and say I have too many hours. Pisses management off something awful...hmmm then again it is Wal-Mart. If you put down on your application that you couldn't work more than 6 hours a day then don't be affraid to remind them. espically after you start school anyhting that you want management to remember, write it down for them, or they will "forget" that they were told
    oh ya CONGRATS on getting your first job
    huh? what? speak up would you? ok, ok! No need to shout I'm not deaf you know. huh? what? I can't hear you.
