I can't imagine having to work retail during the holiday rush... :'(
Suck it up bitch. Retail truly separates the men from the mice.
I always say, people who've never worked retail are usually the rudest customers.
I care about what people think of me. So I do the best I can. I do take it too seriously fuck I take it home and it eats at me.

True dat. But since I've done about 10 years in retail, I'm DONE. Put me in a cubicle and chain me to my desk five days a week, I don't give a shit. What's that you say, this job has a definite, fixed schedule? I get TWO DAYS OFF IN A FUCKING ROW??? Oh yeah, corporate desk jobs are soooo fucking tough. I get to sit around and surf the interweb? Man, this job is so unfair.
Bloodwake, since when did you quit working at Gamestop? ???
Compusa has been great to me the last 6 months i've been working there. But this shit with Bestbuy is the worst fucking shit i've ever dealt with. And I was an usher for a sports and entertainment facility. Which had me dealing with assholes on a minute by minute basis. Bestbuy is just like retail that doesnt give a shit about its employees. Its all about numbers and making the sale and selling people more shit than they need.
Compusa is about informing the customer properly, giving them options, and not pressuring people. Yes they do get commission but i think they do a damn good job dealing with customers as people rather than cattle.

If you're a good employee, they CAN'T hire another 10 people like you. They can't find another 100 people like you. They just don't want you to know that. I've been doing hiring for 4 years in the corporate sector across jobs, and it is HARD AS FUCK to find good employees. I can find ones with great resumes, but honest-to-Gawd good employees with good personal values, common sense and self-discipline? GOOD LUCK TO ME. :gloomy

So how are things bz?
No, Volt isn't. Trust me; I work with their reps on a daily basis. You're just looking at the wrong jobs. Try out for basic project manager positions, or even clerical work. And if you haven't put MS Office on your resume, DO SO NOW NOW NOW. Half the shit they supposedly want you trained in you can pick up in a week on the job. Earnest confidence and a little strategic resume manipulation can get your foot in the door. Testing jobs simply require demonstrable diligence, and are a good entry point on the software engineering corporate ladder, as long as you use your hours in the test ghetto to improve yourself and acquire skills above and beyond what's necessary to do your job and make good connections -- which is more than 80% of your coworkers are doing.
EDIT: Cloud, being female is actually an advantage in many places in this sector. Seriously -- it's not about "lolz hire a purty gurl," it really IS about building a diverse team. A team full of sausages often needs a few strong female voices.
