DeathStyle: Did you get laid off or just looking for something to replace your current situation?
I was working a a theme park seasonally. Got my guard card to do security during that and got a $10/hr full time job. The recruiter at the security company was holding the job for me while I gave 2 weeks notice. I told the recruiter I didnt just want to walk away from my current job because bad job history is my achilles heel. He agreed and encourage me. I gave 2 weeks notice and contacted the security company to start my new job and they told me that recruiter I was asking for left and they didnt know what job I was talking about.
So now Im in a bind and I got a little work doing concert security but that company is a pain in the ass to get work from. Its crazy. Im honestly looking for work and busting my ass even digging trenches with tweakers for a couple of extra bucks (even that is hard to find) all because my work history looks odd. All I can get is seasonal, on-call, or temporary jobs and leave them for part time full time work and get screwed over.
Everybody is telling me to do the Sheriff's academy because they pay a minimum $4,700 a month for the 18/19 weeks. I said I dont want to be a deputy but people tell me to go anyways and just dont become a deputy afterwards.
