pa-pa-platypus Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I can testify this is how he makes his money, lol. I got my first job at the age of 12. Working as a janitor and doing clean up for a landscaping company. In my opinion, jobs are everywhere. It just depends on the person and what they are willing to do and if their work ethic meets their demands. haha ass kissing doesnt exactly hurt lol but my first job was mowing lawns, raking leaves n stuff in the neighborhood i grew up in...thought i was baller...then i realized how little 20 bucks really bought lol ive worked construction mostly doing roofing... still mowed a few lawns here and there for extra cash Quote This isn't teeball. YOU DO NOT GET A TROPHY JUST BECAUSE YOU SHOW UP. Put the work in and then maybe get the respect when it has been earned 151.6 with single 12 at 41 hz 153.2 with 2 12's at 43 hz power: dd m4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amart88 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 In towns like mine, It's all who you know... I put in over 12 applications more than once when I was 15 or 16 and didn't get a single call. Then one of my relatives put word in at a store they work at. One interview later, I got hired within 2 weeks. Go figure. Quote My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I kinda lucked out on mine. Went to school, made friends, talked with parents. Then one kids father offered a summer class for HTML 5, so I took it. We started talking more and more then he decided to hire me as a software engineer for his startup company over the summer between my junior and senior year of high school. I just got home from working there now.

blownengine Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I taught myself how to fix small engines so I have been doing repairs on things like lawn mowers and snow blowers my whole life. You can make some decent side money considering I garbage pick all the old machines for free and turn them around for almost pure profit. My first real job was as a dishwasher. My friend got me the job. Did that for two summers. Not hard or super fun but it was a job. Last summer I worked for the my school district doing summer maintenance. My old assistant principal actually recommended me for the job. I may have been in his office a lot for dumb stuff but he knows I am a hard worker. Haha. Now I'm on the lookout for engineering co-ops for next year.

LUV bass Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 My parents were friends with a guy that owned a local greenhouse that was like a block away from the high school. Before I could drive, I'd walk over there after school and work. I think the main things are to be on time (dependable), and don't screw around. If you get your boss to know that you're a good worker and dependable, they might give you a raise, or even put in a good word to other business owners. And OP, I'm from Havre, haha Quote 2008 Toyota Corolla -Skar VVX 12 D4 (2)-Skar SK1500.1-Pioneer DEH-80prs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfoland93 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Apply everywhere. When you go in to get an app look professional. Then ask when the hiring manager will be back in and make sure you return your app the day he is in. When you fill out that amp make sure it isNEAT. Like EXTREMELY. No mess ups. Fill it all out. When you go to turn in your app give them your resimee. Meet the hiring manager and introduce yourself and hand him the paper (be in a dress shirt tucked in, with a tie, and belt)... then call back and bug the shit out of them 3 days later... Till they give you the job. Thats what i did!!! Quote The spot with least resistance LOL. I would ground to a rubber dildo if it had less resistance than a run of 4/0 wiring. how many poeple work there 3 or 4 lol At crescendo HQ? probably 2-3 At the sweatshop in china? 30,000 children No Engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
