not to depress you abc, but good luck finding a job with free health insurance...that shit gets deducted out of your paycheck, and even awesomer, a co-pay payment ON TOP of that everytime u visit the doc.

 

 

ah.... america.. :heartbeat:

in aus. did they just give you guys free health insurance? like a canada type deal? cuz what i'm saying is that yea, you may get insurance as part of your benefits, but that insurance is still deducted out of your paycheck every week or two weeks.

if you're like me and you have to resort to working retail.... whole foods is actually a decent company to work for. last week they changed the starting rate in the U.S. @ $10/hr (good for retail)-- full insurance after a couple months, after about 6 months they pay your premiums. you also get profit sharing/labor surplus if your department does well. there's all sorts of benifits like stock options and whatnot.

 

i seriously hate retail, but i don't have many options for jobs because i'm in school. at least i get benifits and a decent wage.. most retail employers pay hardly more than the minimum wage and if you're lucky enough to get benifits, good luck finding an employer that pays your monthly premiums.

 

 

beats waiting tables. srsly.

:p:snowman::huh:

don't u get like leftover baked goods and stuff when you work at wholefoods??!

 

 

mmmm..theyre baked foodz are tehown.

 

i've taken home entire CAKES before. sometimes they just put shit in the breakroom.

 

also, i work in the flower/plant dept and sometimes (not often because they're cracking down) we give away slightly damaged plants or things that don't sell to employees. it's pretty radical.

ABC.....

 

 

on the real, check out craigslist.org...they have pretty decent job boards covering most major industries.

 

If you want, I can offer assistance with your resume and cover letter (assuming you have both) in exchange for a small compensation. I normally charge people but I would be willing to hook you up. Hit me up over PM if you're intersted.

Currently I have the job placement worker from where I graduated looking for me, plus I'm looking. Craigslist is pretty good, she told me to check Dice.com, I haven't looked yet but it might be good.

 

I figure between 98% job placement and myself I can get a good job pretty soon. It better I need to save up madd cake for the next 4 months in order to purchase something.

It's easier to get a green card than it is to get work permits in some other countries.

but it's not easy easy.

 

hmm, maybe i have things confused. i thought a green card was basically the same as a work permit.

 

wait, a green card is given once you're hired and a you get a work permit before you have a job, im guessing?
