Open Question: What’s the best way to job hunt?
I was thinking of calling around to some places to see if they’re hiring first of all, and if they are, I would go in that day or the next and fill out an application. Is this a good method or do I need to spend 3 hours driving around to different places and asking if they’re hiring in person? Or is there a better way? I’m just looking for a part-time job.

PS- When I fill out an application, is it better to fill it out in the store or take it home? Does it matter?

Open Question: what do you think?..im 12?
The Orphanage
When I was nine I ran away. I don’t want to talk about why - so on that topic that’s all I’m going to say - but let’s continue. although I will say more . I have been living like this for 3 years, in some way surviving. I do not live the life of an average 12 year old child. I don’t have things like i-pods and MacBooks, I don’t go to school, i don’t have friends. I am not asking for any sympathy as I did bring it on myself. I wouldn’t mind these things, electronics. I sometimes feel lonely, being all by myself but I don’t mind too much as I have never been very social. Over the years I have learnt to entertain myself and scavenge for food. I sleep in gutters by night and hunt by day. I might as well be called an animal.

It was dawn already.The day had gone so quickly, some days just seem to fly by i guess. I searched for a good gutter to curl up in so I wouldn’t become roadkill. I found a blanket and went in an alley. I lay down and put the newspaper over me. I could feel the rocky road of London underneath me and it was extremely uncomfortable but I guess I was used to it. I woke up to two strange men standing over me, one tall and one slightly shorter.
“Where is your home”? The taller one asked which I thought was a rather stupid question.
“I don’t have one” I answered rather glumly.
“You will have to come with us then”

We arrived there in about 20 minutes. It was a humdrum grey unvarnished building with the letters ‘orphanage’ written across the side. I was stunned. I would get what I have wanted since I was 11, when I finally got to my senses, lost the grudge against my parents and realized that it was a big mistake. I would get a family, a loving one! I wouldn’t have to look for food, it would just be there! Best of all, I might have a brother or sister. A friend! Maybe I would make one here, someone about my age. I sure hoped so!

“This is Murphy,Frank,George,Alicia,Tommy and Jeremy’’
One of the staff explained to me, pointing them out as she went. I studied them hard, putting names to faces, even though there wasn’t that many.
“Nice to meet you” I said shyly in response.
Jeremy and Alicia gave me a polite wave while Murphy, Frank and George looked at me, snickering and pointing. Enemies, I thought to myself.Darn it. Jeremy and Alicia walked up to me.
“Hey sorry about them.” Jeremy said.
“Its alright”
As he said this Murphy, Fred and George came up with smirks on their faces.
“Whattta you doin round our turf”? George, the bigger one said.Alicia came forward giving him a glare, obviously not afraid.
“Leave him alone”
The gang walked away, giving us vicious glares as he went.
“They are such jerks” she said as she turned to face me apologetically.

Tonight we had spaghetti on toast which was luxury to me. Along with that a glass of orange juice which I gulped down. After I had finished I got into the cosy soft bed.I woke up to the sunshine gleaming through the windows.i just wanted to sleep all day even though that was he best night sleep I had had in a long time. I got up and padded down to get breakfast which was pancakes. Mmmmmm I thought. I sat down to find Alicia and Jeremy chomping happily.
“How was your nights sleep”? Jeremy asked rather shyly.
“Good, the best I’ve had in a long time.How about you”?
“Good” they both said together.
I could really get used to this I thought to myself.

Today we went to the park as there wasn’t very many of us to look after, even though we didn’t need to be. During that hour I had been kicked I the face by George, teased by Fred and tripped over by Murphy. What a day. I crawled into bed feeling bruised and hurt, not just physically either. I woke up with strangers outside, obviously looking for a child to adopt, was watching us in our beds. I gave them a wave, they smiled back.One of the staff called me over.
“How would you like a new home”? She asked
“I’d love one” I said too quickly.
“Well, these lovely people would love to adopt you”
I looked over to Alicia and Jeremy. I walked over to them and told them the news that I would have to go.We all hugged each other and silent tears ran down our faces.My soon to be mother seemed to pick up that we would really miss each other.
“On second thought I would like to take Jacob, Jeremy and Alicia”
I almost fell put of my skin. Living with my best friends! Fantastic! By the looks of it so did Jeremy and Alicia.

We packed the little belongings we had and packed them into the Johnson’s car. We got in and told our new parents our names and what we liked to do and what sport we would like to do. What our favorite color was and our favorite food. As we waved behind, we grinned widely at each other happy to be away from the orphanage. When I was 9 I ran away, when i was 12 I went back home.

Open Question: how to keep a job you really hate?
How to keep a job you really hate?
I hate my new job that I HARDLY got despite being job hunting like crazy for about a year. The pay and hours are decent but I don’t like the environment. It is a machine shop and i got in w/o experience and they are teaching me, which is good. The shop is not dirty, it is smoke free and co-workers & boss seem to be nice.

But I don’t like standing 8 hours a day by a machine.
My car is broke and i don’t have those $400 to repair it SO I’M TAKING A BUS which adds to stress.
I don’t like the noise there and smell of metal.
Having anxiety, I get fears about such jobs such as, when I worked labor jobs before, often some bad people worked there and someone said most people working this kind of job are drug addicts.
I have experience in different job (home renovation) which I do like, but can’t find one plus those jobs don’t have health benefits.
I feel like a prisoner.

Why I can’t quit……….

I have debts.
I have bills.
I have a child to support.
I feel useless when I don’t work and can’t rely on family support any longer, they even told me so.
I need to support myself and buy thing I need as everyone else

BUT THE STRESS (OR FEAR), STANDING ALL DAY LONG AND TAKING A BUS (FOR NOW) IS REALLY HARD

If I quit who knows when I will find a better job.

How to stay motivated at this “shop”?

Thank you for reply.

Yes I am taking medications for anxiety and they do help somewhat. But I need therapy combined with medications, maybe a therapist would “boost” my energy to work. But I can’t find one unless I wanna pay $150 a session which I cannot afford.

But I will do my best to stick to this job for now at least to earn to repair my vehicle and find another job that I like.

Thanks again
