Default Money & job vent (kinda long)

Since the "vent" forum closed I just needed to vent right now.

I'm so pist, sad, and tired of always being broke!

I haven't found a job. I got hired at Motel 6. She told me to call her the next day to get my schedule. I did, she was in a meeting. I left a message w/ the front desk. I didnt hear from her, I figured she was hella busy. I called the next day, nothing happend. I called for a couple of days.
I gave up. Shes always was unreachableTIL THIS DAY.. NOTHING

I keep having interviews... and the people that are hiring never bother to look at my resume until I'm their. Then they tell me I don't have the experience they are looking for.. Y the fuck did you call me then!!

Today, I went to some Cafe shop. He said in the CL ad that he needed someone asap, since business was hella growing. I asked him, are you willing to hire some1 w/ out experience he said yeah.

Then he was like, ok.. well I'm waiting for more applicatans.

I dont have ANY money to start school. I need money to pay my cell phone, its been disco til I pay it. I have no money to even buy a fukken can of soda. I don't have ANY effen gas.

This has been my life for acouple of months.

THANK GOD FOR MY PARENTS!
NO LIE..
I WOULD BE HOMELESS AND HUNGRY W/ OUT THEM.

When you are on an interview and they tell you that you do not have the experience they are looking for, do you ask them what skills and experience they are looking for? This probably won't help with that particular position, but will give you feedback for the next interview.

What type of jobs are you applying for? (Other than Motel 6) ?

I understand that you don't have money to continue school right now, but have you talked to a career coach on campus? I have heard that they are very helpful.

well I have to be honest. if they tell you they will hire someone without experience and you show up and then he changes it to I'm waiting on more applicants, I'd go home and take a good look in the mirror. Not tiring to be mean, but do you have the professional look? just saying because that's it 9 out of 10 times when they are willing to hire w/o experience just not you.
