Alright... I am trying to get a "normal" day job, I am looking into maitenance and carpet steaming businesses, considering they pay enough and dont involve me and a register or me and too many customers.
My question... what do I do if I get discriminated upon due to my work history? I was pretty honest (I padded the dates on one job by a few months... but all my friends who are hiring managers said that much is expected from any applicant). I have 3 dancing and one bartender/cocktail waitress job on my resume for the past 3 years, volunteer work for a search and rescue team for a little over a year, A high-school diploma with a graduating GPA of 3.4, and good references (captain from the volunteer team, friend of the family who is an ex-school teacher, and my landlord). I am planning on dressing quite conservative, with flat black shoes, black slacks, and a muted-colored button up shirt, I am even removing my cartilage piercing (although I must leave in my gauges because the holes look even worse, they are not too garish).
Anyhoo... any other tips to help me make it in the real world? Any advice would be VASTLY appreciated!
