Having trouble finding a job

[Plain & Simple]

I have never had trouble finding a job but lately ive been struggling, i am going to school for computer network engineer, and i need a job until i finish the career that im studying.

I use to work as a dishwasher then i moved on to 7 eleven then target, 7 eleven and target didnt work out too well so now im in search of a job.

I went to another target earlier and they were gonna hire me basicly but the lady told me that she cant give me an interview cause the last target that i worked out has an "red alert" or something like that. she said that i should call them to fix the problem and get back to them and that i will be basicly hired.

im 21 by the way
What are some good job finding techniques, thank you.

You might be able to find a job doing Software Quality Assurance

Not game testing, but other types of software.

That was my first job in the computer/software industry several years ago, and they usually pay around $15.00 an hour or so to start, or at least they do in California.

Ask your buddies to keep their ears open. That is what will get you a job that you might actually enjoy. Aside from that, you can always just decide what kind of industry you would like to get into, and just hit every place in town that does that till someone bites.
For about 3 years of college I was a baggage handler at the airport. The pay is just ok, but you get free flights all over the world. Which is a nice perk. Its also good because it keeps you active, and its the kind of work that makes you realize why you go to college (so you don't have to do **** like that the rest of your life)

Very true, these days you can get into Software Testing with only a ISTQB certification. Mate earns about £20 per hour for IBM.

Get a resume professionally written and also cover letter. It will cost under a hundred bucks. When I got laid off I was spamming my resume for 3 months. Finally I got a call from 1 place in that 3 months, and they hired me. You never know who is going to call and usually nobody does.

You should be really aggressive and a few days after sending your resume, call the company HR and ask for an interview.
