New Job!!

[D-Bo]

normally i'd post this in the off-topic thread but 90% of the people on here can't read them let alone post in them..

anyways, i got a job at the westin ottawa today as a valet attendant.
this is me in my interview:

"so let me get this straight; you're going to pay me..... to park expensive cars????"

starting pay is about $11/hr CDN plus gratuities (which is included in the valet price) plus tips from the guests.. and right now, the gratuities are adding up to almost $20/hr on top of the $11/hr and then add in tips.

$$$CHING$ CHING$$$

did you really say that in the interview? What was there response? What are gratuities? The job sounds great, good luck with it!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA


I gotta work as a valet!! but I have to be 21. :-(

[D-Bo]

i dont think there was any age limit here but either way it wouldn't matter to me, i'm 21 anyways.. and hit-n-run, i didn't actually say that, but it was going through my head over and over.. its amazing, i say hi to people, take their shit out of their trunk and throw it on a cart for the people inside, then take their money and drive their car into the garage and park it. the gratuities work this way: for anytime parking, its $10. for overnight, its $25. (all CDN) what the westin does is take a percentage of all of the fees charged in a shift and split it up between the people working, but i don't know what the percentage is. after that, you might get a few dollars here and there from the guests as tips..
so all i need to do is work 15-20 hours a week and i'll be earning as much as my friends do working full time! can't wait for that first check to come in!!

[sidewayzS13]

[AWDSR20]

congrats!!! just don't drive all hard !!

[Pavlo]

I make furniture in a shop. Specifically doors and all around mechanical work (assembly of new machines, cutting here and there...) for $8/hr. I can leave or come anytime as long as I do my job in the time period allowed.

I wish I could be a vallet driver, that job is great. Before that I think I will try to get a job in a car wash around here that washes exotics, you get to drive exotics too.

i work at home depot in the garden dept.
it is gay, they gave me the title "horticulture specilist" and im supposed to know everything, oh i train people on the fork lifts and what not also. but the managers dont know what the hell they are doing and i give them lectures regularly but they need me bad right now so they cant fire me yet lol. but i really want them to so it forces me to go to school full time. but i do make $11.30?hr and im getting a raise soon too but its almost not worth it because everyone i talk to is a moron (ask for step by step instr. on how to change the oil in a lawnmower/ illiterate and what not) hey thanks for the vent though now im gonna post this on HangMyselfNextTimeIGoToThatCraptholeForums.com hahaha,

Congrats on the new job. As long as every new job you get you make more money!!


I know most of you guys are still young, (I'm not that old 23) but I'm gonna recommend getting some kind of technical cert, for those of you who can't deal w/ college. I did VoTech for Auto Paint and Body. I was at $14/hr on commission (averaged 80hrs a week).. But all the paint fumes and dust got to me. So.. now I work for Verizon as a Central Office Tech. Making $28.75/hr to remotely babysit COs in the Mid-Atlantic region. Oh and to reply to posts on all the 240SX forums I visit..

Didn't mean to preach, just food for thought. And we're hiring.. www.verizon.com -Free Paid training, full benefits (paid), and automatic raises until you get to Top pay... For those of you on the East Coast, Texas, and Cali

[sidewayzS13]

about the technical skills thats one reason im doin contruction/remodeling. Im going to college so working on the beach and consruction is only until im out of college but the consruction is a good background to have in case i ever lose my white collar job. it gives me something to fall back on in a time of desperation.
