ITT: I suck at job hunting, do you?

Two hours can be long if it's excruciating, but if it's the right place then that time flies. In fact, whether or not you enjoyed the interview can tell you a lot about the job.

negative creep:
I signed my contract on sunday. Now I'm officially an apprentice, doing basically the same job I did for the last 2 years, except now full-time and at a different pub.

ibrahimdelil:
i'll be doing army service for 15 months starting on january, so my company began looking for people to fill my position. yet they've found out that they can't find someone like me, so they're gonna hire three people to do my job lol :lol:

Dear blog job thread

I don't know what to do about my job.

I love my co-workers. I really do, and this might be the first job where I can say that. But the hours suck and are really weird and change every day and week, and my days off are difference each week except for the fact they are never on Fridays, which is the only night something happens in this town.

I'm the door greeter, by the way. I stand in one spot for eight hours and do nothing, and it drives me up a wall. I want to hang myself with a roll of stickers about half and hour into it, and they won't transfer me to another position until next year. Maybe.

Anyways, I want to move to Ithaca, NY, which is like three hours away. If I stay at Walmart, I can maybe transfer out there to the Walmart THERE and move out there, but at the same time I don't know if I'll last there long enough in order to transfer out. 

So I guess my question is: Should I try to tough it out as long as possible and let this job overwhelm my life for now, or should I find a different (more consistent, better-paying) job and then try to find a job later when I want to move? I think I know the answer but I'mma ask you people since you're so smart and all

snalin:
Try to find a new job, but do not quit this one or tell anyone you're trying to get a new job before you have it. It's probably self-explanatory, but being a door greeter (they need those at wall-mart? why?) is better than no job, I guess.
