i live in colorado springs. been lookin for a job for a while. i have an interview at home depot next week. i applied online and went through all that BS. if they wanna hire me i'll have to fake a piss test, but its worth the job.
i know jimmy johns is hiring cause they always post on craigslist, but its minimum wage, ya cant look like a hippy, and you have to cover your tattoos. which is why i said fuck you to jimmy johns.

Well actually I have an interview on Saturday and about 6 other apps in but no one has called back. I am hoping this interview pans out on Saturday. I didn't think in a town this size work would be difficult to find. It's quite aggravating.
Anyone else here from colorado springs? Know anyone thats hiring?
Hit up craigslist

Well I have locks and a beard. I am gonna shave at some point this weekend. I have combing the area I am in (Old Colorado City almost to Manitou) looking for work. I got an interview at The Underground/Brewers Republic this Saturday. Hopefully that will prove fruitful.

Been basically spamming my resume to everyone that is hiring and have gotten 1 callback/email back. I went over as far as like 20th looking for work and I am at 34th.
Come Monday I am gonna have a ride to take me around to the whole town since I can get basically anywhere by public transit.

So I got a job interview on Wednesday with a record (vinyl) shop that sells vinyl, cd's, tapes, and all the other normal stuff you would find in a vinyl shop. We also sell books though, and I love books, so thats a bonus! I am pretty excited.
I found that this place was hiring quite by accident. I walked in and was looking around and this guy walked up to me and asked if I needed any help. I said nope, I am just out job hunting and saw this cool little place and decided to stop and look around. SO the guy asked what kind of work I was looking for ... and to make a long story short had me fill out an application and wrote on the top give this dude an interview. I didn't think anything about it until I got a call yesterday and the lady said that the guy I spoke with was the regional operations manager. w00t. I kinda feel like I'm pretty in.
Well I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!
Namaste

good shit man. i'm still lookin. i had a weird incident happen the other day while waiting to get interviewed at home depot...
i go in and talk to the people at the service desk and tell them im there for an interview. i walk around to this other area in front of the counter and stand there to wait. theres some older dude in his 50s sitting in a chair near me. (customer, not employee) and he's staring right at me. just staring me down. i look over and see his eyes RIGHT ON ME. i mean direct eye contact when i looked over, with a weird look in his eyes. i turn around and played with my phone for a few minutes and turn around again to look behind me at the counter, and this dudes still staring straight at me. i looked again a minute later and the dude flipped out on me and started yelling, asking why i have a staring problem, saying theres "parks for you gay people" which i thought was strange and didnt understand. then he turns to someone working there and starts asking/talking about me.
it was really fuckin weird. i get eyefucked by some old guy, i notice hes staring at me so he totally flips it around. it threw me off for the fucking job interview. i know i wont get it now.
anyway man, like i said, i live in CO springs too so we should chill sometime and smoke some herb.

Thanks! I am looking for a place within walking distance and I think I have found one. It has an enormous bedroom and an enormous kitchen/sitting/living room. The bathroom is pretty small but I think it will work.
