People fail to get hired due to piercings and tattoos.
I don't know how this can be argued.
All about target audience. Those piercings and tattoos may help you get a job at a weed dispensary or tattoo parlour. Not to mention starbucks only seems to hire people with tats. You'd be more succesful showing up in construction attire for a construction job contract then you will a suit. Go in a suit to a construction site and bid on a job, they'll think you'll be doing none of the actual work. Show up in a nice pair of sturdy jeans, 100$ hardhat, 150$ vest, showup in a nice new pickup etc. is the suit equivalent in the construction industry.
Know your audience, that's all. Some people will look at you stupid for wearing a suit, it's not appropriate everywhere. -

Lol that is not how construction jobs are bid on. And it's pretty much assumed you WON'T be doing the work, wtf? It's not like construction workers themselves are bidding. It's the contractors, sales reps, and owners. If you show up you just show up in what you wear everyday. -

What if you are a civil engineer or structural engineer or electrical engineer or architect?
I didn't think after school jobs and unskilled labour counted in this context. -

If you are not committed to making a good representation of yourself how can you be trusted to be a good representstive of the company, its image and its values?
Your image as a slob is damaging the brand of the company. Fired.
You come off as inauthentic. The only people who like kiss ass yes men like you are not the kind of people I enjoy working for. I'm sure you gel well in the corporate world always calling your boss sir and being good at taking orders and following directions.
I guess most people are more comfortable with simplicity and spending most of their time making other people happy. That's just not for me. I used to smoke weed with my bosses and sometimes at work we did dress up in nice dress shirts and brand name jeans working in a warehouse environment and our bosses thought we were all retarded.
Also ties are a health and safety violation

You really are fucking deluded, you said it yourself you haven't worked in like what, 10 years.
Words fall from your mouth like shit from ass. Carry on lying, what a fucking joke.

2020-01-05 at 7:05 PM UTCI have a lot more experience than you and you are probably twice my age faggot
All you know is working in shitty call centers I started working when I was 16 years old and i've done a lot from wood finishing, sales, landscaping, home renovations, working on a farm, factories, warehouses and driving forklift. -

No.

2020-01-05 at 7:11 PM UTCweren't you supposed to leave the forum forever or something
I think you should spend less time on the computer and get to bed nice and early so you can have a shave and look good for your call center job tomorrow, make those calls and work that phone!
You are doing great things with your life. How would society ever flourish without telemarketers? -

2020-01-05 at 7:14 PM UTCAlso welfare is fine and good for people who can't work and need it to survive.
But you and HTS don't need it. -
2020-01-05 at 7:16 PM UTCYeah you're right. Being a forklift driver for 5 years and working in warehousing for one of the biggest companies in Canada is just some shitty job I had to take. It doesn't even come close to the prestige and honor one gets working in the exciting career of phone sales
-
2020-01-05 at 7:17 PM UTCNight fill forklift drivers earn as much as lawyers.

No I've decided to stay now so you can be even more pissed ha-ha.
Fork lift driving is for fucking retards. I worked one call centre job and even that paid double than that. Pmsl.
I'm not taking the word of some unemployed dope smoking spastic that spends his entire day on this site. Go join your dumb retard friend Sploo and OD on shit pills. Talking about plurals and triangles like little hyperactive Ritalin junkies. -
2020-01-05 at 7:32 PM UTCMy uncle does phone sales/support for security systems (some kinda programming thing, he had to learn a new language for it) and he makes 80-100k a year. Don't hate on salesmen just because you aren't a good one. They're not all Indians cold calling customers.
For Christmas he won a fucking cruise for being the top salesman.
I mean Oct was addicted to coke. He's not a poorfag like u -
2020-01-05 at 7:33 PM UTCwhy do you assume everyone is angry is that how you derive enjoyment from your low effort posts justifying it by assuming the other person is triggered and mad

That depends on the size and scale. Business suits will not do you much good in construction related small businesses. If I'm a general contractor looking for someone to install my flooring and doors, I'm going to hire a contractor, not a business man. So dress like a contractor. -

Making lots of money isn't everything. Most people regret wasting their lives doing the same thing and being stuck in an industry just because it was what they were familiar with. Those are the kinds of people like boomers that had to all be retrained to use computers at the start of 2010s and are still struggling to catch up.
Because when you just do something easy, something you have success with in the past you tend to follow that path. Like oh I used to do construction in highschool and now I own a construction company. And then the person turns 50 and realized they actually fucking hate construction and wasted their entire life doing it never seeking out new opportunities and experiences.
If you are happy doing what you do than thats good, that should be more important than just money.
