Hey guys, i was just posting to see if anyone could help me with finding a job. Ive been having a hard time finding one since im only 17 their arent many people that give me an opportunity but i will be turning 18 at the end of april but im in desperate need of a job right away. I have some sales experience working at verizon wireless. Im very desperate and would be will to drive an hour away from where i live for employment.(alexandria, va 22304) I am still in school and graduating this year, but i get out of school early at 11:40. So if anyone could please help me out i would deeply apreciate it.
THANKS!

s0rry br0.. If I could help I would.. I would suggest trying to put a small resume together.. maybe have your friends or family to help you with that.. I would also keep your eye out on sites like Monster, Yahoo Hot Jobs, etc.

apply at an electronics store like Circuit City, Best Buy, Comp USA, Staples, etc... your experience will help.

Thanks for the advice but i already do have a Resume. And ive been searching on yahoo, monster, craigslist and office team. Ive applied at circuit city, best buy , compusa, staples already and many more.......i mean many many more. Im not very fond of those jobs though. I would like to get a job at Cingular, simply wireless, verizon or something of that sort. But im open to anything at this point i mean anything. ANYONE NEED A MALE STRIPPER!!!! :)

u can wash my rental cars @ Koons Tysons Toyota!!!! ive been lookin for someone

can we say, b**ch

:rofl:

why is that??? :(

^^^how much starting pay are you looking for?

im looking for atleast 9.00

im in the same situation as blanco, except for the fact that im 18 and i live in centreville. I've tried getting a job but no one seems to want to hire me, im so desperate i even applied for a job at a craft store. if anyone has any suggestions or anywhere i can try to find a job please tell me, im willing to do pretty much anything

come live in hagerstown... places are always hiring... i dont know whats up with your guys area... i mean i could have a number of jobs and i am only 16.

im looking for a semi-good job, i dont wanna work at shoppers :(

i'll give u 9 bucks/hour to wash my cars....and its really not that bad of a job!

and u can get a discount on buyin a scion after workin a bit!!!

I use to work at Jack taylor's as a porter, they didnt give us any discount, how do yall get discounts on stuff, and the discount we did get was horrible lol. But i might try to come by today, i have an interview at 3:00p.m.

uh, shouldn't matter what Toyota dealer you work at, the discount is the saem
should be 10% over cost for parts


and dont listen to michelle, she doesnt know anything :crazy:

heheh :)

UPS (Hunt Valley) is hiring for Loaders/Unloaders in the AM shifts....if u don't mind workin 4am till 8 or 9am then its not a bad job.

U could do that in the mornin and then wash cars in the afternnoons. If u stuck it out long enough u would be able to jump right into a driving position when u turned 21.

Let's keep it to our cars, please.

Locking.

UNLOCKED

sorry Jenny, but there are lots of posts in this region that are off topic.

yup..what he said

April, if you have a resume setup, send it my way. If you don't mind driving to Springfield, I might have something for you. I can try to ask if there's something closer to home, but no guarantees.

I wouldnt mind driving down to springfield, i use to work in springfield mall at Digital Wireless Solutions. Where could i send you my resume and what kind of job is it.

scott, can i do the same?? :pray:

is it that hard to find a job in VA??
Rich, what r u doin now

working for my godfather's company, selling websites to local businesses.
basically, sales rep.

fun.......

Factory work or Construction. Typically good paying jobs and will hire about anyone.

fun.......

:yawn:

i was joking

so was i

:relief:

:silly:

Most of the jobs I can help people getting are more administrative type jobs, unless you have a degree or some pretty good technical experience, especially military.

I can also look into laborer type positions and janitorial positions.

You would have to be at least 18, be able to work full time, be able to work flexible schedules, and be able to pass a background check. You may need a clearance also, but if you don't have one, you have to make sure your record is clean. I'm not sure a polygraph would be necessary, but can't rule that out either. Also, all positions require a drug test, but that shouldn't be a problem.

DRUG TEST!!! OH NOOOOo, lol j/k oki imma send you my resume by the end of next week. and just so you know ill be 18 at the end of april.

There are also warehouse and logistics jobs that are open. what might hurt you Blanco is not exactly having graduated high school just yet.

:( i really need a weekdy job too, cause i just got a job but its only weekends.

what positions you have that need a degree and technical skills?????

I work for Lockheed Martin. We have all sorts of different jobs from janitors and drivers to engineers. Name some skills and there might be a job that covers it.

Someone that works with Booze-Allen said that they might be hiring soon and starts off around $80k + 15% shift bonus. I'm not sure what all the qualifications are, but he said knowledge of networks is needed. Otherwise I can see about openings in the NOC or computer security with Lockheed.

thanks, if you need some contact info I can send it in a PM

Brian, what's wrong with Nortel? imsono___un, do you have a friend at BAH? Seems like everyone works in IT!

basically our CIO is a prick, won't pay for any training relating to my job (CCNA, CISSP, MSCE). Also, since being bought out (formally PEC) things have changed alot.

thanks, if you need some contact info I can send it in a PM

PM me your full resume and I'll see what I can do. I can't make any promises that I can get a job for you.

If you get in with Lockheed, the benefits are pretty good (I think). You get up to $7500/year tuition reimbursement for college courses. Reimbursement includes cost of books and application fees, but they won't cover software and a couple minor things like parking permit and fees for transcripts/credit transfers. You get full benefits the first day you start work too.

You can get some good info and look for opportunities that interest you at http://www.lockheedmartin.com/wms/findPage.do?dsp=fec&ci=6&sc=400 If you find something that interests you, I can get a salary range for that particular job. All you have to do is let me know what the job requisition number is and I'll look it up. You can try to submit a resume thru their website, but I haven't really seen anyone get hired for posting there, unless it's an impressive resume.

I hear Booze-Allen has great benefits too, but I'm not sure what they are.

Brian, what's wrong with Nortel? imsono___un, do you have a friend at BAH? Seems like everyone works in IT!

I work at a customer site that has contracts with several different companies. A lot of the bigger gov't contractors have employees working at this location. Most people I work with are from Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing. I meet a lot of people at work, esp on smoke breaks, lol.

I'm just a lowly electronics tech working on an engineering degree. I'm about to become a shift supervisor, but that's another story.
My manager and all of the supervisors love me, so they tend to pull favors for me. It doesn't guarantee that I can get a job for people, but it should help.

imsono___un, here are some job requisition numbers, I am also e-mailing my resume to you.
