>>It's not that we don't want to work.<<

My mother is a GM manager at a grocery store and she would just LOVE to hire someone who wants to work. All the time I hear her complainign about people that sail through their 90 day probation period only to start calling in sick on day 91. Kids who go to lunch and never come back to work. Adults who want a job as long as they dont have to do anything they don't want to do get theri two breaks and a lunch a day and can get paid to call in sick when they are having a bad day.

People don't want to work. I'm not saying that you personally dont want to wrk cause I dont know you from Jack. But if you do want to- I mean really really willing to work- to get your hands dirty or to lift something heavier than a stapler or something else that "wastes" that precious college degree there IS someone out there that would love to have you over the other 1999 applicants that just want to sit on their hands all day and collect a paycheck for it.

People *say* they want to work. But mostly I dont believe it. People who want to work will work, even if its flipping hamburgers at McDonalds and then heading to that second job cleaning toilets in the building you used to have a nice fancy office in.
