Apply, apply, apply. Then apply some more. Then, when you feel like you've applied to enough places, go out and apply to the places you don't think you'd like working at so much, like fast food restaurants. You are much more likely to get a minimum wage job you hate than a job at a design firm or something. Believe me, I've tried.mr. K said:I really want a job. You guys got any good tips to help me go out there and get one? I've been waiting for my third reference to call me back. I should see him tomorrow and be able to get his address. So then my application will be done and I can turn it in and hopefully get the job right off the bat, but otherwise who has some great tips to help me polish the competition?
