Try Verizon and apply online. Pay is good and your degree will help. Just about everything is sales here in upper cal so if you're into that shit it would work. The company has changed alot recently and it isn't as fun anymore but it pays the bills and the benefits are great. Personally I'm trying to finish my B.S. Asap on their money so I can go somewhere else.

Yea, I spoke to one of the ladies from Verizon over there. I'm down to do anything really. I've been surviving off this music shit for a while, but it's too inconsistent these days. Could make a grip one week, then go months without any business...'cause cats are broke.

Its worth an application, you can make good money, the stress right now is kinda high. Shit they even pay for 8k worth of school upfront which would help going for your masters at Phoenix since Verizon has a partnership going.

That's a solid opportunity. I'm definitely going to apply. I'm not picky at all, just need something solid that will pay my mortgage....give me those consistent checks that I miss oh so much.

Yup. Most of them don't even provide contact info (or company names for that matter). Impossible to follow up with 90% of them.

I have. Still at the job now from when I looked through craigslist. Nothing high paying ( I'm a warehouseman for an Air Conditioning Distributor) but still decent pay for where I live at. Most of the ads are just spam so be careful with which ad's you send your resume too.

my boy told me he tried craigslist out, sent out hella resumes to job openings and never heard shit....and then he had a job lined up to start in two weeks ( 3 weeks ago ) the guy never called him to come in and start but during the interview he said the guy told him the job was his and he would have to wait to officially hire him because he was going on vacation the next week and firing a guy the week after that....but yeah fucked up when some of these employers think they can treat people however

I got an interview off craigslist for a medical supply company, but I ended up not getting that job. I had an interview week before last, and shadowed a guy last week, then interviewed with the HR woman, they called today to come in Friday and interview with the regional manager, so hopefully this one sticks.

I just started at the Sealy factory in Richmond, $9.25/hour for the 60 day probationary period then you join the union and get bumped to $16.50. They're using the Brentwood Staffing office in Fremont for the hiring/interviews and they're going to bring 50-60 more people in real soon.
