    I am going to assume you tried swift. Give us an idea of your zip code, someone might know someone hiring students. I have time this weekend I will try and help you.

    Just because you take a job doesn`t mean you have to work there forever.With this tight economy you have to take whats available so go for it,get your experience,all the while looking for your "dream" job.You may find that you actually like where you are at.Just be sure that you have another job before you leave these big companies so they don`t screw you with DAC.My father always said "only 2 good jobs-the one you left and the one you are going to"-because the one you`re at sucks.

    Just work for whom ever will take you for a while for some experience. All companies have their good and bad. Just let the bad go in one ear & out the other.

    Make the most with what you got and like the others said just look for other work after you got a lil expirence.

    Who know CR may be the place for you, you just might really like it there.
    Not everyone is a match for every company out there, all those ppl may have had a bad expirence but you may just do very well there.

    What ever you do, do not let them talk you into their lease program. You will get screwed blued and tattooed. You only want to go there to get some experience under your belt. If you fall for the lease, you make the payment on their truck, and pay all the bills. On top of that you won't make enough money to survive on.. And when you get tired of them and quit, they keep the truck you owe $$$$ which will show up on you DAC and credit report..

    this may be true? but some of these post about; crengland ;are newbies talking about not getting paid. or getting checks under $200.00 dollars or having to fight with management just to get paid and getting blown off.they say ;crengland ; has the highest turn over right when it comes to newbies. right now they are the only company that would put me on.everyone else said they are not hiring in my zip code. :biggrin_25510:
