This helped quite a bit sir, thanks a lot. Really descriptive.

 

 

Hey man I'm glad it helped. If you ever need any pointers, advice, or just need some help filling out an app feel free to message me on here and I'll give you my personal Skype.

I will definitely keep that in mind, thanks again bro.

construction or tipped business are the best for first time Jobs. Construction you may be best starting off with a local contractor to get some experience, and work your way in to the big leagues. Also with construction, tree work... get hooked up with a tree/ arborist service and learn to climb... you be making the same climbing as you do in construction. Though work can be hit and miss. If the above fails any tipped industry.. pizza delivery.. buspeople and barbacks... all entry level. Eventually working up to service (as a server in the city you can take in 15 an hour even in the off season), ultimately bartenders a good gig as well.

 

Never go into fast food or retail UNLESS you get lucky and get a job at like, Nordstrom or Prada or something where you make a commission. You'll be stuck with minimum wage with no opportunity for advancement... though I don't discourage asking those high end retailers if they pay out commissions and applying to work where they do... those are like the rare exceptions to the rule where a retail job can be great for someone who busts ass.

 

If all the above fails apply for 'Norwegian Cruise Line: America', assuming youre in the united states... make up a bunch of shit on your application about how you were a hotel worker.. go to a job fair.. wait like 6 months and pay about 500 for licenses... you'll get a seafarers union membership and a plane ticket to Honolulu, Hawaii for 5 months and a $15,000 payout after your contract... (did this before I Went into the Navy... its so amazingly easy that they take like 50% of applicants lol)

I disagree, fast-food / retail are  great for first jobs, especially if you're working for a fastfood restaurant that stays ontop of policy and protocol. I'm a GM for Krystals (American fastfood company) and I make $3200 dollars a month, and I'm only 20. I started at my restruant just 2 years ago, within a month I was promoted to Assistant Manager, about 6 months ago my GM was promoted to Regional and I to GM.

 

Mind you though the franchise that owns my Krystal's is strict and obeys policy and protocol meaning when you get evaluated if you've been working hard, and have shown it. You will get a raise, we have a cashier making 11 bucks an hour. 

 

It's not the industry, it's the people.

Yeah when I said 'fast food' I was thinking more like wendys mcdonalds etc.. and retail like walmart kmart sears etc.. the kinds of stores you see all over. No doubt there's some good ones, and effective management is a big factor...

 

One of my first jobs (fresh out of high school) was for Jimmy Buffetts/ Margaritaville which is a job I couldn't recommend highly enough for entry level... I made about 1800 PER WEEK... as a BUSBOY (one of the servers was making so much he bought a small Cessna plane) =/... absolutely insane for a kid that age... wound up hooked on coke, shit was classic. Anyways I just took note of places that were always busy, local hotspots and the like.. I asked some friends that worked various places where I should apply.. I hiked around town, sold my personality and got hired.. I was just persistent as fuck and it worked out.

 

If you stay positive and shoot big, you never know what you can land.
