Unless you're desperately in need of money, you're probably better off. With a manager that unprofessional would you really want to work there?

They took your job!

He may have been friendly, but he could've at least been courteous enough to let you know these things in advance.

Take the job and put your two weeks notice at the end of the season. Add on your note, "leaving partly for making me wait 45 minutes that day ahole!".

Visit them on Christmas Eve, look them dead in their tired, hollow eyes and buy a box of hot cocoa. Pay for it in coins. Don't forget to complain about their piss poor customer service.

Maybe they just don't have any yobs available.

I'm wondering if he took you back in to his office to see if you have what it takes to change his mind about opening up a position. If you know what I mean.

Damn. having to wait that long AND not getting the job?! fyl

They were probably betting on how long you'd stay. The over/under was probably like 30 minutes.

Apply everywhere. It's tough to find a job nowadays right away. It takes time, effort & knowing what to do to be a good candidate. Work on making an amazing résumé, sound sophisticated but don't lie. You don't need to lie if you know how to write. Then apply & start to follow up by calling locations, asking questions, & showing up in person. Résumé needs 5 sections: Summary/Objective, Skills/Qualifications, Work Experience/History, Education, References. Summary is a short paragraph describing you as an individual, your outlook & goals when it comes to seeking work. Skills are a list of things you can do, relevant to the jobs you apply for. Work experience, describe whatever experience you have working or doing volunteer work if you've never had a job, but don't make a mistake of skipping this, this is important, I'm sure you've done babysitting, extra curricular activities at school or random volunteer work. Education, you fill in schools you've went to, the address & dates you attended those schools. References, have 3 people's number, address & email who can speak well of you when employers call (most employers don't this, they just ask for this, they rather call your past employers). The part a lot of people do wrong from my experience is Skills on their résumé. People don't know what to put down besides what they find online: self efficient, problem solving, quick learner, etc, great to write in your objective/ summary section to describe who you are but it doesn't explain what you are capable of doing. Skills I put on my résumé include: Can type 60 WPM (office requirement), English Proficient, Can lift 25 lbs (restaurant/barista/retail requirement), knows basic math (cashier requirement), etc. they're things I can do & they can relate to many jobs. Sorry, it's long but I do hope this helps OP find a job. From experience this is how I nailed jobs without connections, even in my area where it's high competition. I did it all on my own, it's do-able but it takes a bit longer. Just remember to have a positive out look to have a positive likable attitude employers will like. Be confident in yourself too. You'll find a job in no time.
