I can't find a job and it's been 2 months already. I've applied to several places and no call backs. I lost my recent job because of a recent traffic incident that popped in my background check. I am desperate. My rent and bills are behind and I am in danger of losing my house. Can anyone point me in somewhere that is urgently hiring?

I am really sorry you are in this position. This job market is putting so many people in scary positions. It's normal right now to apply to 100+ places before getting an interview. Apply *everywhere*, whether they are hiring or not. Lean on any industry connection you might have and see if they can get you a job where they are working.

Can you walk into places that are close to your house and see if they’re hiring? I still feel like for the food business, talking in person is the best way to get a job.

I’m someone who’s previously worked in the Hospitality industry; if you have food service experience, that should make you be seen as capable.
But given the atmosphere right now; I’d apply for a National chain restaurant or have you considered working at an Indian Tribal Casino?
Casino’s are always hiring!

I’m going to be blunt, but have you considered applying to an Indian Casino?
That’s the fastest growing job market in the Western United States, there are at least three Indian run Casino’s in Las Vegas.

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?

I had quite the day the other day. Coustmer comes in and then ends up leaving with a grossed out look on his face just for him to put in a complaint about my appearance...he down right called me some nasty things for no reason. Still feeling gross about it. He was upset for no reason as far as I'm concerned.

I work as an AGM in a busy restaurant. Been working there for just over a year, and haven't had a single raise. I now only make 0.50 cents more than even the lowest paid shift lead but I am doing a lot more work. I'm no longer satisfied with these conditions. Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

If I should negotiate, any tips?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

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.
