Any advice for an ex-bum who's just going to get a job?

Dawgs, I'm currently a bum who has not worked for 9 years, It's my first time to get a job and I don't know what to do, what to expect and everything else that goes on in a job. Give some some honest to goodness advice co'z I'm confuse; I still can't get get over myself for being bum, however I also need to work so that I can have some money.Any advice for an ex-bum who's just going to get a job?
If this is an immigration question.....stay where you are.


We really have no openings here for professional bums.Any advice for an ex-bum who's just going to get a job?
Agree; it's not an immigration question, of course.





However, my advice is, regardless of the job you're seeking, try to show that you're interested in the work, and that your addition to the employer will pay off in your attentiveness and willingness to work hard.





And good luck to you!
Don't work any longer than necessary to receive unemployment insurance and Social security disability! Good luck, you lucky bum!
The first thing you need to do is think about what you are good at, i.e are you good with people can you talk and build a relationship eaisly with others, or are you more of a soliatry person who finds their own company enought to get by.





If you are someone that gets on with people somthing like a sales job might be somewhere to start, either as a checkout person or a sales person.





If you are the other, maybe a job in the secuity industry, or a storesperson may be a good way to look.





Not having work for 9 years i am guessing that your resume is not up to date, i am not sure where you are from but websites like www.seek.com.au have a good tool to develop your resume.





With out trying to be rude, i am also guessing you dont have many skills or a lot of experience, so my advice would be to sell your life experiences to them let them know that If they give you a chance to prove yourself to them they will not be disapointed, and that you know you will try %110 as you know that you do not want to be a bum anymore.


I would also suggest to wear the nicest clothing you have if you get an interview.





I hope that helps.
My best advice is to listen closely and don't be afraid to ask questions, but never question your bosses authority. He's in charge. Do everything with enthusiasm. Show up on time ready to work and do every task, no matter what it is, to the best of your ability. Take pride in a job well done.
lmfao. i agree. what does this have to do with immigration?
it's called apply
1) Don't say: ';Dawgs';.


2) Make sure what you say is grammatically correct and is spelled right if written.


3) For now, use your paycheck on bare necessities and put the rest in a savings account or in your shoes at least. As you continue to get more and more in your savings, you'll have more room to buy things for yourself.


4) Work hard and go up that ladder. Earn promotions and salary raises. You might find yourself sipping pina coladas on a cruise if it goes well (maybe in a decade or two).

This can't be real right?
First and foremost you'll go through cultural shock.


Followed by discrimination,bias stares, and not to forget HUMILIATION!


But now after this concept of shutting down the U.S./MEXICO borders WE might have a chance they claim! Will see if this occurs,or if they are just thinking wishfully for a new type of manifestation of replacements such as us!


See. Just like the first two answerer's who have too give out very political correctness for having had hidden agendas within their judging of anyone who might be different.


P.S. A good attitude will do wonders too if you so happen to come across down to earth people!
