I would recommend getting certificates which you do not need a lot of school for if you do not plan to go to a university or community school. Get a food handler card online since that will help you get a minimum wage job or else you can not deal with food. Get a certificate for customer service. Always dress your nicest for your interview. I wish you luck but having 2 years helps you most of all.
I dont like the idea of dress, "up" for an interview, if you fail, you would
be and probably look miserable and, all "dressed" up with no where to go. although I personally wouldn't arrive at an interview looking like a slob, I just hate having to look like im going to a wedding. My wardrobe leaves much to be desired...
Anyway, most successful chefs start out like you. Unmotivated and young enough to be a 25 year old culinary prodigy.
Dont let education out you down, some of the most successful Americans started out speaking a different language and literally on the street. Today they live across the street from you, with 3 kids. One of whom you have a huge crush on, shes (insert ethnic race here) and, only dates guys who drive.
You get my point. Just know, in the restaurant industry, you wear your big boy pants. Dont worry about your lack of training, what you lack you will gain through what you choose to accomplish
Yes teaching someone to dress like a slob is not a good idea. Who taught you how to go to an interview? Also I do not think inspiring to be homeless is really a good thing regardless of it happening. Since getting raped and beaten is what happens to a lot of these people. Looking pitiful is not a good way to get the job. Saying "Well I wont get it anyways so I might as well look shitty" is stupid.
I was trying to encourage him to go to an interview as himself and not as someone who was obviously trying to dress up to impress people. Anyways, im sorry for my input, your advice is the best advice, I give I give
Still you are suppose to dress up for an interview. You are suppose to pretend. Some things you can not say at an interview or it is taken a certien way. That is how they see it. Not the person going for the job you have to know what the person doing it is looking for and what looks bad. If you don't do that you could blow the interview. Like if you say "Yes I am around people who have stolen" even if you have thieves in your family you can not get away from that is not desierible.
I don't think the entire reply was sarcastic. The truth is, entry level jobs like one at McDonalds, can teach you some life skills you're lacking. The tedious tasks you'll have to perform will teach you responsibility and accountability, which will help you be a better employee for your next employer.
Have you ever thought about being in the military? That would be a great crash course in real like skills.
IIN that I dont have the life skills to obtain a job(entry level)?
