Like I get it, I’d you’re in a corporate high job, or your jeans have holes in them of course they’re not professional. But WHY oh why are nice jeans not acceptable in customer service roles? I recently got hired at a job I don’t really want but need, at a hotel. They have uniforms but didn’t order them until my orientation day and they’re back ordered so probably won’t be here for a few weeks. I asked the dress code and she said just “professional” I then asked if the jeans I was wearing (high waisted medium wash, single color denim skinny jeans. Not loose, no holes, no weird patterns etc. But she said no, absolutely no jeans. But tennis shoes are acceptable footwear? I only accepted this job because I’m out of school and broke as fuck. I have no slacks or professional style pants so I had…

I had a job interview lined up and scheduled for my lunch hour at work, I had already accepted another position and this was the final day of my two week notice. The interview was at 11am. I told my lead, she was fine with it. At 10:54 she came to tell me I couldn't go at 11. I went to my interview. (And it went well!) I got back and they immediately put me on Administrative Leave and told to leave. I'd only been at this position for five months and it was way below my experience level. I wasn't mad, or sad, just kind of incredulous. That's a first for me!

What should I look for?

I work for a company that cannot find drivers, class A, home everyday, $80k to start, southern Ohio, that’s decent pay. We don’t search for misdemeanors anymore. The jobs are there, the homes are there, I agree with most posts but the money is there for the taking. I’m 36, millennial all the way. My facility manager tried to hire a convicted murderer that just got out of prison after 17 years but Hr shut it down. The jobs are there and the money is there, i have a network engineering/ it degree, AS, so not really. Stop buying into go to college, do something different and move ! I’m a democrat/ centrist.
