It don't pay (obviously) but I recently got an admin gig on a FB page I frequent. In the short time I've been doing it, I've gotten the reputation for a creative sense of humor, but also taking no shit.
Isn't that just called being 'witty'?
been working in the food court at Costco for about a month. My performance review came a few weeks ago and my manager said if i didn't improve I wouldn't be working there anymore come August 7th.... haven't told my parents yet, so I'm a little anxious to see how that day goes
(personally i think i've improved, but we'll have to see what the new manager says...)
Hopefully the manager sees what you see. If not, best to move on and go somewhere you are appreciated. That said, employers, managers and employees - appreciation is few and far between. Just do your best, you can't do any better than that.
It's hard to find work here. I'm not sure how it is in Virginia - what are the sort of jobs and employment offered there?
