I'd urge you not to go to art school, honestly.

Anyway, keep in mind that you have a one-up on people who didn't graduate, or people that merely have their GED with no qualifications like you. A good amount of places posting entry-level jobs, from my experience, don't even really give a shit about this, in all honesty, but it can and does matter a percentage of the time.

I'd begin by looking through online job boards, and applying to anything you can do, not just what you're willing to do (if you begin getting picky with your first job choice, and you're not particularly skilled in anything, have fun with that ordeal).

Each time you apply to a place, in-person, online, whatever, I'd make sure to write it down somewhere when you applied, where and the date, along with the telephone number of said place(s).

Make sure you accept calls that come in after applying to a place (have had multiple companies contact me for over-the-phone 'interviews' but where calling from some center states away, for example). Ensure that you're sounding confident in these, and that you're not dwindling on what to say if they ask you a question, I think this is most important (same goes for in-person interviews, obviously).

I would say about one-to-two weeks after applying to a place, call them and say something like "Hi, my name is ____ _____, I applied for ____ ____ a couple weeks ago, I was wondering if you're still hiring and if you got my application?", which will likely be met with being put on hold or that they are, but haven't gone through all the apps yet. This should show them that you're more interested in the position than the slew of other folks who just put in an app and that's it. I'd call them, max, about two-or-three times doing this, in succession of one another on a timely basis.

Thanks, anon, this was very helpful. I'll have to practice speaking then and get betrer at not doubting myself too much. I guess it gets easy with every interview though.

Yea dw. Your first interview may be intimidating, but they're 'trying' to get you to feel that way, just don't get overly confident.

I'm still working at my first job (stocking grocery)

A lot of people quit or get fired after a month or two due to trying to find ways around doing the work every day. Though, my work is quite physical/tedious (if you were working a register, for example, way less harsh, you just deal with the occasional butthole customer).

It differs a lot depending on the place/job (some places at certain times have less/more supervision, etc.), but just make sure you put forth a good effort, and a good attitude if you can.

If you're doing what I do, making sure you listen and actually work/get it done consistently = happy boss.
If you're working a register, and you maintain a reasonably upbeat attitude and don't act like a lazy c0nt = happy boss.

You get it.
