First, let me apologize if this is the wrong location for this post. I'm still pretty new here, but I figured it's pretty much a "rant/rave" post, so this should be the proper location. If not, someone with the power to, please feel free to move it.
On to my purpose: Being unemployed blows! That's actually untrue, not having to do anything at all all day long is pretty bitchin', but having no money at all is scary and terrifying. For those that don't know, I'm 25 years old, a college drop-out, ex-dishwasher, aspiring actor. I quit my old job washing dishes back in November because after five years in the same place with the same incompetent boss, I'd officially had all I could take. Then, through the grace of savings accounts, Christmas moneys, and tax returns, I've managed to not have a job the whole time. Unfortunately, the well has pretty well run dry, and once I pay my rent on Friday, I'll have just enough for my car insurance, and then...I think I'm actually going to be staring down the barrel of a $0.00 checking account balance. Which is terrifying. I admit to having been less than gung-ho about applying for new jobs, but even those few to whom I have applied I've heard nothing back from. Which is incredibly frustrating. I have no idea what I want to do with my life, but I do know that I really need to be working somewhere. Anywhere really, cuz I'm now officially broke.
So! I'm asking anyone who reads this to pile on the advice. Ask questions, I'm an open book. If anyone knows of any job opportunities for polite, well-groomed, articulate, hardworking young men in the Southern New England area, please let me know. And if anyone has any advice on jobs that I may not be thinking of, or not know are available, please, sound off! I've generally been applying to retail places, recently filled out a quintuple-at-once application for every Starbucks in my area. Please, any help or discussion is incredibly greatly appreciated. Thanks!
