Interview frustrations

[diyjake]

I already applied at 5 other jobs 3 near Carlisle Pike, Carlisle and few near Mechanicsburg

I am surprised your having a hard time getting hired. Most of the warehouses around here have a very hard time finding decent candidates.

What job do you have now?

They might have a hard time finding decent candidates at or near minimum wage. All the restaurants, fast food places, and convenience stores out my way have "Help wanted" signs, but the typical stated pay is no more than ~$12/hour (seen on a McD's sign). Warehouse operations and the likes of forklift drivers aren't necessarily much better off.

It's stupid for a business owner to complain about being unable to find good help when he's offering only minimum wage, part time, and no benefits. I've known of a few who did just that. Then they had the gall to complain about the quality of applicants and workers. Duh.

As a rule of thumb, the places that have lots of turnover and are always seeking workers are usually bad places to work. People leave for a reason, or the company is quick to fire over bogus stuff. Usually "easy hire" means "easy fire" (job termination).

Passing on my luck to you. I found a new company that I wanted to do trucking with potential room for growth. Employer wanted me to start asap but it's so hard for me to leave a company that I learned and grew with.
