How To Get A Job Fast As Hell
@owenabbott
- Apply to a job, wait (1) day, then call. Give them your first and last name. Tell them you submitted an application and that you’re very motivated to find [Enter field name] work. Let the conversation lead you wherever it takes. Be very polite. Say” thank you for your time, I’ll be looking forward to hearing back from you.” Rinse, repeat. This is to force them to be looking out for your application.
- When you get to the interview, shake their hand firmly, tell them your first and last name.
- Describe your experiences as “ two years transcription and data entry” if you have a desk job interview and “ [however many years] costumer service, retail and stock” for your retail jobs.
- Don’t use job “ buzz words” I stg they hear them all day. Say things like, “ I’m detail oriented and am very good at taking instruction.” “ I would like to work for a company with integrity and I feel that [ company name] would be a good fit”
- When they ask you if you have “reliable transportation” say YES. don’t tell them what kind of transportation, just say yes. (if you don’t do this, you wont get the job , I’m telling you right now).
- Research the company. Know what they do, why they do it, how OLD the company is. WHERE it was founded, and what kind of position you’re intending to apply for.
- When they ask you “ give us a situation where you had to blah blah blah” Make one the fuck up. Make yourself sound good as hell, and like you put your company’s needs slightly above the customer’s needs, but make the customer happy.
- If they ask you about being outgoing, Say you “like to focus on your work so you can concentrate on doing things right” (which buys you out of having to act friendly all the time)
Questions for after the interview:
1. Does this position offer upward mobility?
2. Do you enjoy working for the company? (if you’re not interviewing for a temp agency who will send you anywhere)
- Then, shake their hand, Ask them to repeat their name (REMEMBER THIS) say thank you for your time, wish them a nice day and leave. write their name down outside if you have to, just remember the fuck out of it.
- AFTER your interview, send a card directed to the name of the person who interviewed you (I’ll give you them) that says “Thank you for the interview, I appreciate the opportunity. have a great day” This shows that you have an understanding of professionalism, and will have them thinking of you kindly (or at least remembering you) when they’re shuffling through the choices.
- DO NOT tell them you just moved to the city over the phone. In person, tell them you just moved to the city. Make it sound like the only reason you need a job is because you moved. Not because you’re desperate.

I knew this but I’m reblogging cause someone might not know
I’m saving this.
you’re amazing thank you
You definitely need to be a licensed dental hygienist to work as one. That requires 2 years in a dental hygiene program then passing the boards.
Don’t call a day later. Check the job listings. Many of them say “don’t call,” and even if they don’t, it’s sometimes seen as overly persistent and will remove you from the job pool. Especially only a day later. It’s definitely an older piece of advice that’s quickly falling out of fashion. I used to field job applications for a used bookstore and it was often several days, if not longer, until my manager even saw any of the applications, much less read them. The more “professional” you go, often the longer the hiring process is (with some positions taking weeks or longer).
Also uhhhh don’t blatantly lie?? Embellishing stories or accomplishments is okay, that’s sort of expected, but don’t completely make shit up. Your interviewer might ask further questions, and if they check one of your references that offers [honest] contradictory information… basically if it’s found out that you’re lying, it’s going to look terrible. And if you are hired and are assigned tasks based on skills you don’t have, that you can’t do? That’s even worse, because your reputation will suffer and possibly affect your futurejob prospects negatively.
One of the best employment resources I’ve found is Ask A Manager, I’d highly recommend that site. It also has great resources on how to word resumes and cover letters.
