And I don't think anyone is hiring except for Linens N Things, and they suck to the max. More applications to get to...

Look for a nursing school in your area .. CNA or LPN preferably ..talk to financial advisor, ..setup a school loan, spend a few weeks to be a CNA or a year or so to be an LPN .. when you get out and pass state exam, only send a resume to a place you want to work .. because they *will* call you.

Feds predict nursing shortage will be acute for the next 2 decades .. newsflash ..nursing shortage has been 'acute' since 'nursing' first became a profession. Even during WW2, there weren't enough.

ups sucks, i worked it 2 years back, they will def need guys for the holiday but after that ur caned. I must have delivered/picked up over 300 pieces a day rangeing from a piece of paper to a 70 pound air tank. Pay is crap. If u need work u should get in for the peak season no prob. If u work in a small town work will be easy if u work in a big city(manhattan) be ready to move. If u work it the biggest thing ull get is somethin else to add to the resume. Good luck:aok

I've worked at UPS for 5 years. Decent pay, full health benefits, free college.

UPS is a good place to work, but they expect you to actually work.

HOW DARE THEY!

they must be jerking the new york city guys around then. Driver assistant guys where getting 8 bucks an hour, and the regualar nite shift guys where getting 7. I think ups was one of the big companys that where caught useing illegal immigrants.

Where do u live??? if ur getting kicked out think about the military, unless u got a friend or relative that is goin to let u crash out. Rent here is high, even in the crap areas where theres nothin but drugs and criminals, and the job market is shot to all hell. I filled out for the jobs nobody wants, MEat locker 3am or 3am dock jobs and still dont get them. Im thinkin about the military myself. Good luck, just keep ur head together and stay strong, u should be alrite.

I thought you were going into the Navy Smidsy, guess plans fall through, such is life. I don't really want to work in the food industry but my friend works at Nick-N-Willy's which is take and bake pizza so no cooking involved, and i like that.
