damn.
i get it.
this blows.
I owe the govt 4k now.
Fake your resume and put on a fake job that is inline with what you are applying for. If you are applying at a smaller mom and pop business they don’t usually call previous employers, but get the feeling about you by talking to you.
Ask them to not call your current employer because you don’t want to risk your existing job, then give them references to call, and if it’s a previous employer for another business even better.
APPLY IN PERSON.
Those are always the first I call in for interviews. If you actually show up, it shows me you are way more serious about getting hired than all the lazy asses applying online. Mind you don’t harass afterwards, looks too needy.
And if it’s online only, send a picture of yourself, not a head shot, but where you are doing something fun or shows your good side that makes you approachable. Seeing you and if I find that you look like what I am looking for massively increases your chance of being hired.
I know the government has made it illegal to not be biased against someone because of the weight, looks and so on, but trust me, hr, or the person hiring you looks at that.
Also when you apply dress for the job. Doing retail food, put your hair in a pony tail, wear jeans and a nice shirt with runners, only small earnings maybe one ring on your hand. You already look like how an employee should.
Hopefully you understand what I’m saying.
