Those are just to weed out the bad seed. If you can't come up with three respectable people to vouch for you, then you're not ready to work yet. Go out and volunteer, then come back.

It sucks man but you just gotta stay at it. After looking for a few weeks on Craigslist I found a restaurant that needed dishwashers, the guy emailed me back in a couple hours and told me to come in the next day. He hired me on the spot with no work experience and no references. It was really hard work and about half the other dishwashers quit by the end of the summer, but I stuck with it and now I can work there again if I ever move back home and I can use him as a reference for other things. I recommend you don't apply to chains, because they have a ridiculously elaborate process that everyone has to go through. Apply to local restaurants. The less professional it looks the better. After you get the first job you're golden as long as you don't fuck it up. We're all gonna make it, bro.

You are a fucking faggot OP. I honestly believe people like you are genetically inferior. Why the fuck would you apply for a minimum wage job when you could focus on making money online? >LOL U CANT MKE MONEY ONLINE ITS A SCAM Yeah faggot it's not like billions of people use the internet daily. Just because the get rich quick things are bullshit doesn't this isn't an enormous industry. Want a job you faggot? Find someone who does online services like web design. Tell them you will split 50/50 for every client you get them. Make a list of businesses to call. Call them up with a good script. 25 calls an hour = 100 calls a day = 1000 calls in 10 days = 10 sales total, you just made at least $2500 and you did it working on your own schedule. Even half that and you still make way more than fucking mcdonalds you pussy. >but but but im too scared to cold call Have a few shots of vodka before you do it or some other legal high like kava that reduces your inhibitions. Or do the program overcoming social anxiety step by step and stop being such a fag. Or do one of the thousands of other methods to make money online. Jesus. This is one example out of THOUSANDS. Or be a faggot.

You need to prove you're social enough to work well with or at least know some people that can vouch for you. Always has and always will be a thing. Stop thinking that you are entitled to a job for simply existing. You need to prove your worth to the employeer first. Especially since he's going to need to spend time and money training you before you generate revenue.

Jesus fuck son, you are hopeless. Just get a few volunteer jobs, they are easy as fucking hell, depending on what you're job is, and from my experience you can generally just be a lazy asshole. Also all 4 of the volunteer jobs that I have done, none of the shifts for any of them ever lasted longer than 3 and a half to 4 hours. And some of them you only have to do a shift or 2 a week. If that's too much to handle for you, just end it.
