“Let’s say your budget was limited enough that you had to give up entertainment ~ but you’re still looking for employment. That cellphone gives you 24/7 access to employers, and them to you!
Not having the internet (other than that WalMart email link) is something anyone cold deal with for a good long while.”
Actually, I was in that boat a good long while. Let’s see. Phone got chopped in August. When I finally got hired, I was hired by a company who advertised on the internet and hired through email.
I still haven’t bothered to restore phone service. It’s just not worth the bother.
Guess you can do that ~ but there are employers who like to set up appointments for interviews on the phone ~ suit and tie and all that.
