Desperately need help finding a job in New York!!!#1

Posted: 8/27/09 at 10:13pm

I just finished High School (With honors) and I need help with getting a job. I only had one previous job in my life but in that posistion I soley ran a Convience Store by myself,and I think I can handle sales/retail jobs very well.

This job would only be temporary and not be my career goal but would help me make some sort of income. I was curious if anyone here knows where my best bet would be to get a job.

Thanks!

Have you heard? There's a recession going on, gads of folks are out of work.

In this day and age, you just need to apply for anything you hear about or see posted. Keep a positive outlook and always be ready to interview...even if you are just dropping off a job application.

Don't be an ass, YankeeFan.

If you're looking specifically in retail, start with the big name stores. If that store isn't hiring, ask if any of their other locations in New York are. Probably your best bet. All small business are cutting back, so they're probably not hiring and the large corporations will probably have more options available.

So if you're just looking to find a job, any job, to bide your time until you go to school, why not stay somewhere that it's (relatively) easy to find employment? At a time like this, New York is not that place.

New York is actually one of the strongest job markets in the country right now.
