Apple didnt take my application even though I was aval all day long every day of the week... Sadness..

Don is looking for a job that is slightly more interesting than his current position as Grocery/Bakery/Cashier/Bagger/Stock Clerk.. Yea.. I do all of that because once I get bored I move onto another dept. Grocery store working is not my thing.. its a total drag.

I work 5-11 in the bakery .. all I do is clean stuff, sell donuts, stale out all of the expired stuff and wash some dishes.. for the meager pay of 7.45$.. I havent gotten a raise in almost.. a year now, got screwed on a bonus because I was like a few hours short of Publix's 1k hours or one year of service...Continuly get passed up for promotion (It took me 4 months just to become a cashier)...

I say death to publix.. death to the company.. The high prices , I have to pay even to eat at the god forsaken place. No perks for working their.. just stock.. thats it. And a frign hat. They gave me a hat at the annual benefits meeting. I said. how does this benefit me. I dont have anything from the company.. So they gave me a hat. The hat was just incinerated in my fire pit because I hate it so.

stupid Apple, it's their loss.

There are always positions available in the human flesh trade...

I've considered but... Hunting down the candidates takes to long... oh wait.. no way man..

What sort of position was it at Apple? In Florida?

Sales.. Mac Specialist or something...

I agree with Publix -- one of the few things I dread about going to FL is that they have zero competition for food stores like here in NJ. I remember buying, I think it was a jar of peanut butter -- it was friggin unreal.

I *THINK* it has something to do with the way commercial real estate taxes have been there... but that's another topic.

I'll trade ya.. I'm unemployed, $7/hr would be great. I applied to publix and about every other business around here and never even got a call back..

Excessive speeding? It ain't excessive till I redline!

If you guys are unemployed or working for 7.45/hour it is your own fault. I met with a kid last week (not under the best of circumstances) who is 19 and waits tables (lunch only) at a local greek restaurant and makes $100-$150 a day during the week and made $250 on Sunday. Even in the south, you should be able to easily get a job on a framing crew for $15/hour. I got two college kids working for me running errands and pay them $10/hour and $.40/per mile. I pay a process server $35/ a pop to hand deliver papers.... get off the video games or whatever and go outside and get a job.

If you live down town go to King and Spaulding and apply to be a runner.

thats where it is... resteraunts.. hmmmm

You have to be pleasantly aggressive when job hunting. If there is an opportunity to have face-time with someone in HR, take it. Just settling for being another application packet dropped on someone's desk won't cut it.

Don - I almost sig'd this. Brilliant.

Like others have said, my only $0.02 is that you gotta keep at it, get dozens of applications out there. Try to submit them in person. Good luck!

go for it.. sig it...

I'm just not the kind to be pleasently aggressive.. I guess I could give it a try, If you find me in jail because I shoved an application up someones nose,I failed

well we can always call John Doe....
