Hey! I’m just posting here for help. I’m 17 and i’ve been searching for a job these past few weeks and have been applying to lots of things. A full time summer job, or a part time job and I can’t seem to get accepted anywhere and I don’t know what to do, i’m asking for a little bit of guidance if anyone can help me please. I’m new to job searching and any help would be appreciated.

The best advice I can give you is just drive around to many places and drop off resumes between the hours of 2-4. You’re almost at a 75% chance you’ll get an interview on the spot and hired that day. Most managers have looking at resumes as a secondary thought until something serious happens at the restaurant. Like a no call no show. Some managers takes weeks or months before they look at applications.

I’ve hired about 90% of my teams from people walking in.

If you don’t have experience getting a serving job will be harder.
And some states require you to have a pour permit which is only accessible to people 18 or older per state law( find out about your state laws) if they don’t do alcohol like Waffle House then getting a serving job before 18 is easier.

Anyways without experience you can note academic accomplishments as I would personally be impressed by those things. (Tells me you’re smart and potentially capable of simple serving tasks)

As a GM of several restaurants over the years, Chili’s,Olive Garden, the brand usually prefers their restaurants to not hire seasonal or pt. I’d interview, and I know you don’t want to hear this, but I’d stay away from restaurants as a pt, and go into your field if possible. Restaurants use and throw people away most times when their seasons up.

Would they consider me if I had cafeteria work experience or is it still better to avoid restaurant areas? I’m only allowed part time since I’m still in high school, and it’s definitely made job searching a little bit harder.

Hi everyone. I’m a front end software engineer. I’m interviewing next week for a solutions engineer at a company I really like, which I mistakenly applied for as I saw they needed ReactJS, JavaScript, HTML/CSS. Upon reading the job description, it’s clear I will be doing a lot of sales and client consulting over actually coding. I know they have a FE SWE role open. How would you approach asking the recruiter if there are any SWE openings I could be considered for instead ?

Scores consider the number of accounts that are paid as agreed. Your score was impacted because the number of these accounts is too low, or because you've missed payments recently on some of your accounts.

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
