My mom drops by this local subway restaurant last week. The girl at the counter was rushing and mentioned that they were desperate for employees. My mom gave her my name and phone number, mentioning that I'm free 24/7 and looking for a job. (the girl at the counter was also the team leader) So she says she'll call me on the next day.

She never called. The day after that, I called there, and she said she was gonna talk with the manager when he gets there and then call me back. She never called back.

I waited another day, then I called back, and now they tell me no one's in and I have to wait till wednesday!

Yeah, well, there is just hardly any time for that at all. Any time they spend doing that sort of stuff is on their own time or overtime..

I applied to a store 4 times in 4 months, come to find out they don't check the online forms you fill out. After answering all 100 of there dumb questions 4 friggin times!!! They are the stupidest Questions "Do you like to fight "the machine"?" "Are you a team leader?" "Would you like to work here more then any place else?" "Have you been known to stand up to "the man"? "What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?"

If you want anything at all these days, you have to be proactive. If you expect others to follow through, you'll spend the rest of your life waiting.

Avenger's completely right, unless the place you're applying at has their own hiring manager or something.

Or you could posses some sort of useful skill, and have people call you up out of the blue, like they did to me.

[Oh, here is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow, just in case they ask (yes, it's old, but it's still worth a laugh).]

Go in and ask for an application. Fill it out and hand it to a MANAGER, not to some employee.

Yeah, I feel for ya - I went to an interview at Asda (Now owned by Wal Mart), and did (I thought) really well. By the time they got back to me (easily four weeks later) I'd got off my arse and got a job at a high street clothes shop. I did get to say to the lady on the phone - "If you'd got back to me earlier you'd have caught me - but as it happens I'm now working across the road" and hung up. Felt good.

If at first you don't succeed, lower your standards.

The girl I talked to is the one in charge of hiring new personel.

I once worked for a Subway. I believe this was around 7 years ago. They "let me go" without telling me so. I would call and call and they would always tell me "we'll call you when we need you to work." After almost 2 weeks, needless to say, I went job hunting. Years later, I was in there eating with my girlfriend (now ex-girlfriend, who also worked that at one time), and they actually asked me why I had been fired. I told them that I didn't know, didn't care, and that I've moved on to bigger and better things (not really).

That being said, with the amount of free subs that I gave out to friends and random attractive ladies, it's no suprise that I was fired. It would have been nice to be told that I was fired though.
