captainpec Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 How old are you guys, what types of jobs are you looking for, and is this part-time or full-time? Just a question - there are tons of jobs out there, but I could understand you rants if you are looking for jobs in the nightlife (and I mean clubs/bar) field...

highmay Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 I love to see what working women think of this thread. Why do you ask them if they all get the jobs they want because they're women. Great line of thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you ask them if they all get the jobs they want because they're women. Great line of thinking. If you go on cragis list or village voice you will see many many ads that are for women only. Not that I would argue with it, the people go where the beautiful women are. It has screwed me over but it is understandable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barvybe Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 its certainly more difficult for a guy to get a host job at a restaurant or something like that...and generally true for bartending as well since guys buy more drinks on average than women...but other fields - particularly business fields - women have it tougher so go figure..

bumpdaddy Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 In all seriousness the job market in new york is horrible for everybody. I work in construction management. After Sep 11th we laid off alot of people. Things are picking up now. What i see happening in my firm is pretty depressing tho. Basicly they're hiring back some people who were laid off back then at much lower rates. I know alot of people who were laid off that couldn't even find a new job. They exhausted all of their unemployment checks and are working odd jobs just to pay their rent. Some of them are even on welfare now. People don't really realize the impact that this city has suffered in terms of job losses. I'm sure its the same in other industries also.

Your best shot at getting into it is to show up on person and volunteer your services. I don't know of many companies that will turn down free or really cheap help. There are lots of people waiting in line for opportunities in the music industry and only a small minority ever makes a career out of it.

seanvie Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Originally posted by bbbooom dont try to jack my thread make your own....ps bring lots of $$ i don't try to jack anything ... i just think it's more useful to have one thread about the topic "jobs" than ten.... work at a nightclubmaybe i would be qualified for that, but i would favor to work as a secretair or anything less exhausting.do i have to be over 21 yrs old to work at a nightclub in NYC?
