Decided to get a little side minimum wage job to help with burnout from dancing. I remember I was happiest when working part time as a server in an upscale restaurant to supplement my dancing.
But after sifting through hours on Craigslist in New York, the majority of these ads are so laughable. Requiring photos for a hostess position, bartending, even receptionist. Requiring years of experience to work as a hostess? Not even a server. And forget about trying to be a barista.
My favorite part is when they have a long list of requirements and only give the option to submit a resume. No phone number, not even the name of the restaurant. And then at the bottom the salary is minimum wage plus tips —_— I have job experience, but my resume is nothing stellar compared to what they want. Even the little corner store that just opened up told me to email a resume, after I told them I have experience, live in the building next door, and speak two languages. Like blah im not that desperate for a job.
I guess im going to have to apply for a job the old fashioned way because I refuse to spend hours online applying to jobs that take an hour to apply to. Tomorrow im printing out my resumes, dressing nicrly, and marching my pretty little self toevery store in my rich ass neughborhood. Because who is gonna say no to a pretty blonde girl who speaks fluent Spanish, had open availability, and lives close by?
Geez the Internet has really kept job applicsnts anonymous. Is this happening anywhere else or is it just new york, where everyone needs a job so employers can afford to be picky.
