"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I'm a senior in highschool but I still haven't held a job. I have applied a few places but they never called back. What are some job getting tips for this high schooler?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Economy's crap. 28+% unemployed when I left the country beginning this summer. A lot of people with good education are now taking jobs that would normally go to people like you. Advice is grab something then hold on to it with both teeth. Avoid army, navy, and drug dealing.

Real gravy is to have US education and move to some other country. You'll be much priced that way. Russia for example. China. Japan. Germany.

In US I really don't know wtf you could do to make it anymore.

Honestly, the most important piece of advice I can give is network, network, network. Because of the way the economy is, being out of work is no longer something to be embarrassed about. Talk to everyone you know, your family, your friends, even the cashier at the grocery story, tell them you are looking for work. Chances are, someone will know someone about a job lead. Don't necessarily rely on the help wanted ads in newspapers or in the internet, since a lot of jobs are not posted. Nowadays, getting a job is much less what you know and a lot more of WHO you know.

Good luck!

Craigslist. Also, if you have a car, drive to an area with alot of stores, like a strip mall or whatever. Carry a pen with you

Park, get out, and walk into every store you see and ask for an app. Some will tell you to app online, but whatever. Smile and be enthusiastic.
