How to get a job
It made me
grow as a person
 "Confidence is key"
How I did it: After months of applying for every sniff of a job vacancy that came my way I was so depressed and had lost my confidence. When out of the blue i was offered a small waitressing job from a company i`d applied to months before but had kept my information on file because they genuinely liked me for me. Lessons & tips: Never give up, take every oppertunity to shine. Resources: local newspapers, friends, word of mouth.

I’m nearly through with attempting to find a job. At 17 years old it seems IMPOSSIBLE, but I think i just need to try every fast food place around. apply, call, meet managers. this job is gonna pay to get my Stang running and tagged, its gonna help keep my parents from selling my horse, and maybe I’ll have money left over to pay for college tuition next year…that would be lovely =) and completely amazing.
