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.

This helped me get a job
Reblogging again for everyone!
i would be so hot if i was rich
Me too pal
I introduced my friend to Hamilton and her boyfriend got her tickets. She didn't tell me until the curtain literally opened. Is it wrong for me to be mad at her?
No I don’t think so I’d he kinda pissed too
This happened to me too!! Me and two of my friends were realllllyyy excited to make plans to get the cheapest possible tickets to see Hamilton this summer and invited our other friend who has never listened to any of the songs but she said she didn't want to aND THE VERY NEXT DAY SHE WENT AND GOT PREMIUM TICKETS WITH HER AND HER STUPID ASS BOYFRIEND
im honestly so clingy n so detached at the same time
Does anyone else just lay in bed for an hour or so before they fall asleep and generate their own fanfictions? And they are super elaborate and you just sit and go through it and wasting precious sleeping time. Reblog if u do.
I’m in a bit of a bind, and I could use any help I can get!
Hey, my name’s Justin, and I was in a three car collision this past Monday (September 26th). I was the only one injured, and no citations were issued, but I’m still stuck in a pretty awful situation. I have a pretty low income, and my insurance policy doesn’t cover me in case of an accident, so I’m left without a car, and I live in an area with little to no public transportation, so I have no way to get to work.
Currently, I’ve got 3 broken ribs, two fractures on my pelvis, a few broken teeth and more than a handful of cuts and bruises, and also a laceration on my spleen that caused some minor internal bleeding, so I may not be able to work for the next 3-5 weeks, which is a huge issue. My medical bills should be covered by my health insurance, so the only things I really need assistance with is getting a car, and paying for prescriptions.
Even if you just give this post a little signal boost, it would mean the world to me, but if you find yourself able to donate, the link to my Paypal is here, and here’s a link to the newspaper article.
Thank you for your time, even if you can’t contribute, a single reblog goes a long way.
Everyone's life is more exciting than mine, like I wanna fuck hot guys in thigh highs and eat out pretty girls
I think everyone has the same dream
i should make a low-effort cookbook
like you get those ‘i hate to cook! 101: easy meals for the kitchen novice!’ and it still wants you to make a three-cheese spinach casserole
mine would be like
did you know you can put chocolate chips on a spoonful of peanut butter and obtain the perfect snack
did you know if you crack some eggs into your pasta sauce and stir there’s more protein in it so you can go longer without having to make another goddamn meal
did you know you can mix a cup of cooked rice to any condensed soup instead of water and now you have dinner and breakfast
also put cheese on it
put cheese on fucking everything
and finally here’s a list of things you can microwave in a short enough time that you won’t walk out of the kitchen, go back to bed, fall asleep for four hours, and totally forget you attempted a lunch
frozen pizza is expensive but! biscuits in a can + last dregs of jar of tomato sauce + some shredded mozzarella cheese = EIGHT MINIPIZZAS
dump all your chinese delivery into a hot pan and crack two eggs into it, stir, now it is soft and good
if you add a kraft single to mac and cheese from the box it’s magically more delicious (and if you also add hot sauce then it’s spicy)
nachos: chips + shredded cheese + salsa + rummage in fridge in case there’s other things? and then under the broiler for a minute or two. if it’s hot it counts as a meal! works good on stale chips.
an incomplete list of vegetables that won’t instantly rot on you: anything frozen, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes (they get wrinkly but u can still eat them), carrots, onions…i throw away a lot of veggies that have gone soft :(
i love parchment paper. $4 for a roll but lay it down on ur baking sheet and know you’ll never have to scrub cheese or cookie crumbs off it again. perfect for cooking with low spoons. nothing sticks to it!
also: mug cakes also also: if you cook rice you might as well dump some canned tomatos and canned beans in it. TADA NUTRITIONALLY COMPLETE MEALS in the list of foods that last: apples. apples can last an entire fucking winter. also also also: cottage cheese + bell peppers + crackers = what I ate for dinner for like a year
1. You cook the rice in a pot. No spices, no nothing, just water oil and rice.
2. Just before it’s ready, when there’s about a pinkie fingernail’s worth of water on the top, add in a tablespoon of peanut butter.
3. Stir. Cook the rest of the way.
4. It’s a meal! It has carbs and protein, it’s filling, it tastes good and it looks and feels like a legitimate dish, which is great for lifting the spirits a bit.
5. If you feel fancy, add a teaspoon of honey or a handful of crushed peanuts.
Alt., mix the rice with lentils. Cereal (rice, wheat) + legume (lentils, beans) = complete protein. Most people’s bodies will accept that in lieu of animal products.
Since no-one explained how to cook rice: (1) put bit of oil in pot, heat up on medium flame, (2) add 1-1.5 cup rice, mix up and add a bit of salt (you may need to reduce flame), (3) while you’re doing that, boil water in an electric pot, (4) add 2 cup water for each 1 cup rice; reduce flame a few seconds before you do that and mind the steam won’t hit you, (5) cover and set a 20min timer.
Pasta: (1) boil water, lots of water (covered pot goes fast; you can also use an electric pot for a shortcut and bring to a full boil on the stove - experiment), (2) up to 100 gr pasta per 1L water will work, but the more water per pasta the better, (3) reduce flame to medium (light bubbling), add pasta, set time to 10min, (4) check and add time as necessary - you may not need to.
Egg or bean noodled cook faster than pasta - like, half the time.
Easiest pasta sauce: 20-50gr of butter, melt; 1-2tbs lemon juice, homogenize; dump in pasta (and possibly peas, boiled from frozen). Taken 5min or under and will liven up pasta that’s been sitting in the fridge.
Easiest cream sauce: 1 standard (250ml) cream carton, 1 tsp shredded cheese (keeps well in freezer) or more, 1 tbs cottage cheese, spices to taste. Heat in a small pot on a small-to-medium flame while stirring constantly (if it’s too hot to stick a finger in, it’s too hot). Takes maybe 5-10min. Will keep in fridge up to 1 week.
Rice freezes well. Pasta doesn’t. Plain pasta (and most noodles) will last for up to a month in the fridge, though, and just dump it in the pan with some ketchup/tomato paste(+oil + water) and you’re good.
…nobody said that dry onion lasts? Dry onion lasts. Fried onion freezes well and keeps forever. So does diced garlic. If you like ‘em but worried about them going bad/don’t always have the time or spoons to deal with ‘em, there you go.
Fresh bread freezes well. Keep emergency bread in your freezer, sliced. It’ll thaw in the fridge/on the counter overnight, or you can stick a slice as-is in the toaster (just turn it up 1 notch relative to your usual preference).
Potatoes in their peel are the single most nutritious food. (You can, actually, survive on mashed potatoes.) A boiled potato will stay good in the fridge for a couple days. Boil partway (should still somewhat resist a fork), turn over/toaster oven on 150C (350F) or higher while you do the rest, slice potato(s), spread like deck of cards, brush oil over (with the sort of silicone brush one uses for eggs - costs next to nothing and you’ll be glad you got it), bit of salt, stick into oven and come back 20-40min later. Will re-heat well.
All of the following are good in eggs, just (1) dump them in the pan before the eggs, (2) the more you fluff up the eggs the betters: cubed semi-boiled potatoes, sliced/cubed tomatoes, tinned garbanzo beans (<-legume), tinned/frozen corn. Tinned and frozen stuff lasts forever. A pre-boiled potato and a couple eggs will save your ass on a cold, miserable morning.
3 shortbread cookies + 2 glasses of milk = 500kcal balanced dinner. Or breakfast.
1 cup cooked pasta + couple fluffed up eggs + shredded cheese (from frozen) to taste, in a stove-top pan or in the oven for ~20min = full meal.
Black lentils, cooked, will last nicely in the fridge - and unlike other legumes, they don’t need a pre-soak and only take 20min to cook. ½ bowl + 3 tbs oil + 2 tsp lemon juice + ¼ onion = dinner so nutritious you won’t believe it.
Cottage cheese and honey. No really. You only need a couple tsp honey for 250gr cottage tub.
1tbs peanut butter (flat as you can make it) + 3 tbs soy + 2 tbs maple/honey + 1 tsp vinegar = marinade for ~500gr of whatever. Takes ~5min to mix, 20min-2hr to soak, 5-10min to fry (non-stick pan and you don’t need oil). This + pot of rice (<-make while chicken/meat soaks) = lunch for a week. (Or dinner, if dinner’s your main meal.)
A tin of mayonnaise will last for months in the fridge. Hardboiled eggs last a nice while, too. 3 hardboiled eggs, chopped + 1tbs mayo + 1/3 onion chopped = 5min of work and egg salad for a few highly nutritious meals.
Ever make yourself hot chocolate? Make it with milk instead of water, for fuck’s sake. A large cup of hot chocolate is a legit small meal.
Buy broccoli and green beans frozen. For a couple dollars you can get a big enough bag of either to get at least 8-10 servings out of it and it keep for at least 6 months if you keep the bag closed. Buy a jar of chopped garlic in olive oil as well. That’ll keep in your fridge for months and adding a little bit to a handful of broccoli or green beans and sauteing(lightly browning them in a pan or pot on the stove) them together until everything is warm is a cheap, easy way to have a flavorful snack or meal.
Also, ramen, drop an egg and a handful of some kind of frozen veggie(the previously mentioned ones or even some mixed carrots and peas) it adds a lot of nutritional value to your ramen, makes it so much more filling, and makes it have way better flavor than plain ramen.
Buy a jar of Better than Bouillon. Amazon has them for as cheep as $2.99 a jar and one jar has enough in it to make a couple gallons of broth. Just one teaspoon of this stuff added to 1 cup of water will give you a deliciously broth for soup. Pick your flavor and drop whatever veggies or noodles you’ve got leftover in the fridge and you’ve got dinner. It’s also great to add to the water you’re cooking your rice in to give it some flavor as well.
Don’t buy boxed Kraft mac and cheese. It may seem like an easy approach but there is a cheaper approach. A 3 lb bag of macaroni noodles is only a couple dollars and you can get a 1 lb bag of the powdered cheese just like in Kraft for $10 on Amazon. I bought a bag of cheese powder that size and it lasted me more than a year and I made mac and cheese once a week. You can also mix it with milk and broccoli and you’ve got a great dinner of broccoli cheese soup.
My biggest tip for saving money on food is to make things that will freeze well. Say you make a pot of spaghetti. You could get 5 or 6 servings out of a full pot easily, if not more, but you’ll get tired of spaghetti before it’s gone. Stick servings in plastic baggies(which are fine to rinse and reuse!) and freeze them! Then you’ll be able to take out just the amount to eat for a meal and have some back up meals for when you’re loaded down with work, homework, etc and have no time to make a meal.
I… Really, reeeeally wish I’d seen this about 5 months ago. So rebloggin now so I can find it again.
Get yourself some mac n cheese, throw some frozen corn & some canned meat (we usually use spam). Super easy, and the only way I eat mac n cheese. You can add some chopped jalapeno or hot sauce for spicy. Or, alternately, make yourself some tuna mac. Mac n cheese, peas, onions, drained tuna, and some breadcrumbs. All the things u need in a meal. And for cheap.
And don’t feel like you have to buy fresh veggies just because “fresh” sounds like it’s better for you. In fact, the opposite is often true. Frozen vegetables are packaged at the peak of freshness while they are still in season, so they retain all of their nutritional value. Fresh veggies are often picked before they’re ripe, then sit in cold storage for days, if not weeks, before they even reach a grocery store. Basically, unless you’re growing your own veggies or buying them from a direct, local source, frozen veggies actually have MORE nutritional value. Plus they’re cheaper and keep longer, ofc.
My additions will be more in line with OP (low effort more than low cost):
-Get a jar of Indian sauce, like Tikka Masala or Korma or w/e -Get some of those pre-packaged naan breads -sprinkle naan breads with water and heat in a microwave/regular oven for a bit (where I live the package has instructions for this) -> soft hot nice yum bread -heat sauce on the stove/microwave -eat by hand by ripping bits of bread and using them as spoons to scoop sauce. -alt. you can also eat that sauce with plain rice.
Plain rice as a side can be sparked up with pre-made spice mixes, I love this stuff my mom gave us called Lime Pepper (it has lime, pepper, lemongrass, coriander leaves), just grind some from the mill on top of the rice when it’s on your plate. Eat with a protein or whatever your main dish is.
Frozen things -put a little bit of oil on a frying pan and warm up a bit on high heat (hot oil goes fast on the pan when you tilt it, less hot oil is more sluggish - don’t play with it too much, just spread it around) -turn to medium heat and put frozen things on the frying pan -turn at times so shit doesn’t burn Frozen things we eat like this include -frozen chicken breast -frozen chicken nuggets -frozen vegetables -frozen vegetarian/vegan shit (y’know the stuff that mimic chicken nuggets or whatever) -fish fingers -squid rings -patatas bravas (when Lidl is having a Spanish week or w/e) Some frozen things go in the oven, like fries and vege sassages. Packages normally have instructions, usually something like “oven to 200 degrees celcius (convert that yourself), 15-20 mins in the middle”.
Instant noodles (you know the dry package with the little pouch of flavour in it) Style 1: -boil water -put noodles in water -drain water when noodles are soft and done -sprinkle pouch flavour onto noodles (turning and mixing them in) Style 2 -boil water -put contents of flavour pouch in water -put noodles in water -when noodles are soft and done, eat it like soup (don’t drain) Style 3 (I never do this but I hear people do?) -unwrap dry noodles -put some sort of spread on it, like if it were bread -eat it like that
Canned tuna! With pasta: -make pasta (I prefer macaroni, though other shapes will work, spaghetti might be challenging but when is spaghetti not challenging?) -drain liquid from tuna -mix tuna from can with done pasta and cheese -eat with ketchup With bread (open face tuna melt): -put drained tuna on a slice of bread -put slices of cheese over it like a blanket (shred might work too?) -heat in microwave/oven until cheese is melt -eat with fork and knife, it’s easier, trust
I really really want to find more of this sort of “buy a jar of x, combine with y” -easy stuff (which you can find literally nowhere because it’s not good enough for food blogs to blog about). I have no creativity when it comes to this shit, I don’t know what goes well with what, most of the time I don’t have the time or interest to cook “properly”, I am not interested in handling raw meat or prepping raw vegetables for an hour before any cooking can happen (and it will take me an hour because I have no skill). Like we’re not rich but I will buy food that is easy and that we will eat, as long as it’s not ridick expensive.
