have any of u, ever gone for an interview, and after the interview, they person comes out and gives u the job straight away? as opposed to saying "we'll be keeping in contact with you after we review all applicants".

if you have, tell us what job it was and how many times u went to the place for interviews.

i never went looking for a job. the boss rang me up - who i only vaguely knew at the time - and asked if i wanted one. i said okay, and have been there ever since (almost 3 yrs).

Its just a matter of being (and appearing so) willing to work.

Luck is only in the timing eg just after someone leaves you have a good chance.

two of my friends got approached at woolies while they were shopping or something, and the manager asked if they were interested in getting a job there. they applied and got interviewed, but only one of them got the job because the other said something about being unsure if she could work.

Ribs and Rumps in Gordon. It was a matter of being there in the right place at the right time.

Hugely understaffed night.
"Hi, i'm looking for a part-time or casual job"
"Do you have any experience as a waitress?"
"No"
(pause)
"Can you start now?"

Hahaha... so wearing a t-shirt that said 'FCUK like a bunny' i worked that night... and many others...
