Re:Looking for a Job - 2008/07/02 16:50You know I wish I knew where I could get a job too... because, the staffing agency I was working for no longer has the job of washing dishes at the Broadmoor. So, I'm back to the drawing board.

Re:Looking for a Job - 2008/07/02 17:20Well I know there's a bunch of places, gas stations, ITz/Mr Biggs, restraunts, UPS/FedEx throwing boxes, etc.
My only problem is pay requirement. I'm thinking about PRC off Woodman & I25, but that's a last resourt.Sholto Nightseer - lvl1 Scout

Re:Looking for a Job - 2008/07/03 06:45Thanks Rewth,
Depending on where I am after college I might look your way, but I'll be looking for a Network/system admin position or an entry level position that will take me there.
I've also been looking at places that I can weigh tables or possibly bartend.Sholto Nightseer - lvl1 Scout
