    Great Answer

    Hand-picked by Answerbag's staff. (What's this?)

    Working at a discount chain store such as Wal-Mart is a good idea, or be a legitimate tele-marketer, phone operator, work for an answering service (this is where you answer calls and take the messages by typing them into your computer), work at a dept. store say like Dillard's, or Sears, if you enjoy cars, work at a store like The Autozone.

    The bottom of the barrel is working at a fast food restaurant. Although, it is relatively easy--doesn't require any real skills, or thought. You might work at Burger King, or McDonald's.

    These are jobs that can lead to management positions over time.

    Just make sure that you remain with the same employer for, at least, 1 year because if you decide you hate the job, then quit, it won't look good when you're trying to go for another job.

    Bottom line: Once you get hired, always be respectful to both your employer, fellow co-workers, and customers. How well you treat your boss, your fellow employees and customers carries great weight when it comes time for a raise, or a promotion and if you have a respectful attitude, then you're much likely to get promoted more quickly and receive a pay raise quicker. Also be sure to be punctual and hard-working. Employers hate it when their employees are late and/or require them to create work for themselves. Always find something to keep busy doing and NEVER make personal phone calls at your place of employment. It's not only unprofessional, but employers are likely to get extremely upset and worse case scenario, fire you.

    Good luck!

    • Working in fast food is not "bottom of the barrel". Don't degrade an honest days work.
