Preference has nothing to do with it. I'm not qualified to do any interesting or good paying jobs.

What am I going to do? Apply for a job as a DNA expert in a crime lab? See if I can get an interview with the Raptors for an Assistant General Manager position? How do I go about that? Send in an application saying I qualified for Jeopardy and I really really have a lot of common sense?

If you have any suggestions for good jobs I can get with my high school diploma and no experience, I am all ears.

Nope, I thought I read in a previous thread somewhere that you were an astrophysics major in college. Not that I really expected you to get a job now in a related field but I thought you had a Masters degree somehow.
 
This job today wouldn't be bad. There is a probationary period but if/when I got on perm, the pay is above average, good benefits, bonus plan. It is a big international company so if I wanted to start getting ambitious, there is a ladder to climb.

It sounds like there might be a lot of hours with the warehouse work - at least at certain times (like right now). That would be good because my financial situation is in shambles and I could use the overtime. But it's a minus too - I do like to have a life outside of work.

The location is not good. It's do-able but not good. I'd probably think about relocating at some point.



Anyway, we'll see what happens. 2 interviews tomorrow too.
 
It would depend on what time of day and what kind of route I could work out. I'd have to tinker with it.

It's not particularly far in terms of miles but with it being such a bad spot to get in and out of, I'd guess ~50 minutes each way at rush hour.
 
Toronto rush hour traffic is loltastically bad. Probably compares to LA.

Even public transit is horrendous (overcrowded). I'm very grateful to be within walking distance of work.

This is going north/south Mississauga which is always bad. East/west, you have options, but north/south has always been a dog's breakfast going back to my first jobs 30 years ago.

That's not even taking into consideration all the construction which is FUCKING EVERYWHERE RIGHT NOW.
 
I just had something else happen here. One place I applied to sent me an email pre-screen which I just filled out. It was no small thing either.

I'm not sure how to categorize that; it doesn't feel quite as happening as getting a face-to-face interview - but it's something. Someone saw my resume and decided a next step was called for.

I'm definitely getting some attention all of a sudden.
