Excellent advice!!!
Excellent advice!!!
your sound is out of synch. if i was your boss i would have fired you already!!!
Boooooo! 🙂 Stuff happens when you upload (or at that time, it was Google Hangouts that was a problem).
This is an absolutely absurd and ridiculous video. I have gotten terrible jobs like UPS in a day. Basically any job that requires you to stand all day will hire you in a heartbeat. The only problem is I have ankle problems so I can’t do these anymore. Unless this guy also has ankle or feet issues, I can’t fathom how he couldn’t get a job for so long; but the advice doesn’t really help someone in my situation who can’t do physical jobs but is also entry level with a degree, lacking internships. Unless I go back to school for some super advanced subject like artificial intelligence, no one will ever give me a job without more stuff on my resume. A call center job is a white collar job compared to the vast majority of slave work available; not easy to get that
What question do you have and I’ll see if I have already addressed it or do a video to answer it.
yea thanks for responding. My question is how do I gain experience doing basic jobs while studying like cashier when they all require standing all day. I have a foot disorder called pttd posterior tibial tendon dysfunction that prevents me from applying to a plethora of entry level jobs. The call center jobs all say they want previous customer support experience. I don’t see how I can overcome this resume gap.
There are many other types of jobs you can look into. Limiting yourself like this is one of the tricks we do to ourselves
May I please have some suggestions?
I’m 31 really no work history but staying at home taking care of a sick parent
The idea I would offer takes up more time/space than I have now. As you know, you would have a tough road AND, think about it. Are there ways you could find work?
Jeff Altman i was taking care of Mom through an agency
Jeff Altman I need a idea
Jeff Altman I went to a interview at sonic drive in and never heard bck
A work from home business of some sort where you can sell a product or service online.You can sell your product or service from any number of websites.
Starting to think I might be unemployable also. I have an MBA and have worked in insurance for ten years, but I’ve been fired from my last two jobs for being difficult to work with and not being a team player. I have been searching for months now and can’t even get an interview. What can I do?
This is Bonnie for Jeff. He no longer replies to personal questions like this on YouTube because it is a form of malpractice. There is much more he needs to know to give advice. If you want to schedule a coaching session with him, not a discovery call, but a session so he can dive right in, go to TheBigGameHunter.us and schedule it.
