Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

  • My Unfortunate Luck With Jobs

    I have the worst luck when it comes to finding a job.

    The only job I've had was in my fathers contracting company as a supervisor, if I don't include my extra work in TV shows as a freshman in High School.

    So why do I have the worst luck?

    I've applied to every store in the Glendale Galleria, twice. Some stores, I've applied 5+ times. I've never received a single callback. And don't think I just sit at home. I always go back, re-apply, ask what's going on - nope, never gotten a callback.

    Recently, I met with the manager of a printing firm in North Hollywood. Never called me back. I had an interview at Abercrombie in Sherman Oaks, an interview which I got through my cousin who works there. Never called me back. My cousin asked his manager why they never called me and the manager said the reason was because I had a beard at the time of the interview. She wanted me to shave and see her again. So I did. Never called me back. I had an interview for Bank of America. They told me they'd call me even if I wasn't hired. Never called me back. It's been 2-3 weeks. I e-mailed the recruiter. Never answered me back. I had a meeting with the manager of a Big 5 in Northridge. Never called me back.

    Nobody ever calls back! They say, "We'll call you back regardless if you want you or not." STICK TO YOUR WORD!!

    Yup. No one wants me. I present myself nicely, I'm always on time, dressed appropriate - I look appropriate. So why is it that no one wants me? My hours are better than everyone else at the interview. I speak clearer, I act nicer - (when it's a group interview).

    Re: My Unfortunate Luck With Jobs

    Well, I just met with the manager for RadioShack and he asked me a few questions, and I could tell he liked me. Either that or he really needed to hire somebody - lol.

    He told me to hold on and he went into his office and returned about 30 minutes later, lol. What a wait.. Anyway, he wants me to go down to Van Nuys for an interview, but he gave me a letter to show them, and the letter says he's interested in me and he wants them to process my paperwork.

    But he said I'd have to work in the stock room for now since there are no sales positions open.

    Oh well, we'll see. Hopefully this one will break the curse!

          Because you're good for only one job - professional whining.

            I'm not whining. I'm trying to see what's wrong with people.

            What's wrong with you anyway - lol.

            Stop following me around.

              sweetie no one hates you, thats how the process works (you have to go through allot of interviews). Although pretty surprised at no call backs at all? can you go through an agency? at least they can chase these people up or something.

                    I know, but it looks like I might get this job at Bank of America.

                    I finally got in contact with them, and I'm gonna go see the manager for the one in Montrose on Monday. The manager I'm gonna see is my sisters ex-manager and they're friends, so she'll most likely hire me.
