I applied for Home Depot a month ago and finally got an email telling me I didn't get the job. Unfortunately it went to my Junk Mail. Here is me sitting waiting to find out if I got the job or not... and the email was dated two weeks ago! I'm very upset. I wanted this job so badly and this is the response I got. Why so you can make me wait another six months and tell me that I still don't have the job? How am I supposed to get a job at all when I don't have very many job requirements. Besides... the add said you would do the training...

They did the same thing to me when I applied for Lowes. They sent their notification in the mail for me, though.

Ms.Nesbit How do you get a job ? Here is how i have found the best way to get a job .Hmm try targets, try toys R us , try walmarts, try fast food places .Take anything they will give you at first.You then gain a few years experience.Be open place say 30 applications to 30 different jobs.Chances are one of them will hire you .Most places like Home Depot ,or the home improvement centers.Yes they are looking for people who usually have 2 to 3 years job experience.So try the other places that will hire just about anyone ,who is willing to work .Then go for the jobs you want when you have 2 to 3 years job experience.That is how you get some of the jobs you want .I have been in the retail business for around 14 years.I started at a convient store as a clerk, just a clerk part time.So yes take what you can get to start.

I was only going for the cashier job. I have applied at 6 different places including Zellars and Walmart... and no one will hire me. They all say the same thing.

Ms.Nesbit here is a fact .. they will not hire anyone as a cashier who doesnt have some experience in it.go for stock,inventory anything you can get.You need some job experience first.I personally have seen cases in some places where a guy i knew had 6 years of college .They hired him where i worked sure .He was a cashier yes, but someone who had 13 years in retail experience no college but 13 years at the same job, until that company closed shop, the gave manager of the store too,because of his work experience .Some place are like we want college, other are we want job experience .So your best bet is work anywhere at first, get job experience, and go part time college.get best of both worlds

They said right in the article I read that they would train you... *eyeroll* why say something like that if they aren't willing to hire you and train you?

Ms.Nesbit a hard lesson to learn is .. You will not always get the jobs you want.Sometimes you just have to take what you can get.Sorry life isnt always fair but its life .You will find something, and who knows you might like it ;D

Sometimes you just have to keep looking Ms.Nesbit.Sometimes it could take weeks sometimes it could take months.Thats how the job industry is .Especially if it is your first jobs, or you have had very little work experience,but my bet someone will hire you .

Don't let it get you down, that's the main thing. My cousin tried for ages after he left university to get a job and nothing happened for months, until he got offers from three different places at the same time. Something will turn up.
About the experience thing, my dad was turned down for a job because he had too much experience when he was younger, you never know which way it's going to go.
