hmm. Hey @Leucrotta, think we should look for call center jobs too?
It'd be hell, but a different kind of hell than retail, and maybe easier to get into than accounting...
(we still need to sit down and research accounting jobs too)
@frost My *opinion* is no, you shouldn't. Call center is everything you hate about retail and answering the phone, and my last run in with it was emotionally brutal. Working at Target or Safeway is probably emotionally easier.
I think it'd be useful to have a resume for more generic stuff which would simply detail on programming experience.
@Leucrotta whooph. Thanks. 🧡
@Leucrotta Definitely not gonna look for call center then – we trust your experience!
I'm poking some staffing agency called Kelly for temp jobs but they don't seem to have much in the way of useful stuff.
I hope it's not something about our resume that makes all the tech places reject us.
more other-job-types wondering
@Leucrotta How's being a barista compare to other fast food? Like, it's still fast food, but probably a lot less greasy/smelly/otherwise gross/etc.
...But we've never been in a coffeeshop at busy times; I bet it's as fast-paced as other types of fast food when it gets busy.
[we'd be standing all day.] ...oh right, fuck.
re: more other-job-types wondering
@frost It's pretty okay. The grossest part is if you're working an espresso machine, it's easy to spill grounds on your hand while cleaning the filter which is kinda oorgh. And I mean the typical food service stuff like having to clean bathrooms etc. Honestly the worst part is it's still food service, so it does get busy and doesn't pay that well.
re: more other-job-types wondering
@Leucrotta nice! ;3 That's reassuring.
I doubt we could survive on our own on that money, but some money is probably better than no money right now.
And coffee grounds are a little oorgh but a LOT less gross than oil, I feel like. :3
re: more other-job-types wondering
@Leucrotta (well, some money is better than no money UNLESS the place we're at sees that we Have A Job™ and goes "well you're fine now!" and kicks us out. They said they wouldn't. I still don't trust them.)
@Leucrotta *checks out Peets*
hey they're hiring for the Lakeshore café we go to!
> Starting pay between $14.50 to $20.00 plus $3.00 – $6.00 per hour cash and electronic tips. Pay ranges are determined based on geography (State/Local regulations and market conditions)
Well that's unhelpful. This being the Bay Area, though, I bet it's more towards the $20 end of the range. Sounds like this is the nationwide range and not just the local range, the way they said that.
..Maybe we should look for a Peets that closes earlier, haha. We go to the Lakeshore one BECAUSE they close late!
re: more other-job-types wondering
@frost but like if you could survive on that money I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Like even though some customers are terrible I still feel like I'm doing something, even if small, for people, rather than just oh hey I help x huge organization make money.
