Finding employment

     Finding employment can be a hassle. As teenagers we tend to be caught up in materialistic items and want money. Some have to get a job due to their expenses and have to grow up a bit sooner then others. It was a mission to find a job that actually wanted to hire me. I applied at several places like dairy queen, McDonalds, Del Rio Country Club, subway, Papa John's, Galletto ristorante, foot locker, and La Parrilla. None of these places were messing with me. They all said I had no experience but how was I suppose to get experience if I've never had a job before? A friend of mine was able to convince his manager to hire me at Galletto ristorante in Modesto. I met this friend through the gym were I now work at also called The Performance Lab, he liked me and felt like I was a trustworthy guy and spoke to his manager about me and I was able to get the job. if it wasn't for him helping me out I would probably be stuck with a crappier job or barely be getting my job at The Performance Lab. While I was struggling trying to find a job I would get frustrated and worried if I would ever find one and Id ask myself why some of the places wouldn't give me a shot. I'm sure most of us have been rejected from a certain job or have struggled trying to find their first job. Overall Im just very lucky to have had a friend to believe in me and follow through with what he said which was that he would get me in.
