1. Job titles will open doors eventually so try to at least move up to supervisor. The past 3 jobs I worked at I started at a worker bee position and moved up. That shyt will look good on your resume. When you leave, you can start applying for entry level management positions. Then move up to mid level.. I don't have a college degree but I'm able to bag upper management jobs starting at nothing less than $80,000 a year because of have so many years of management experience. The last job I worked at, I started as a supervisor making $13.00 an hour. 11 years later when I left, I was a general manager making $108,000.

2. Act like a boss in whatever position you're in and you will eventually feel like one, and others will see it.

3. Always see a job as a means to an end. Never get comfortable, because at the end of the day you're a disposable asset, so move accordingly.

4. Once you hit 35 and up, if you accumulate enough management experience, you can always lie on your resume and say you have a bachelors degree (if you don't). And if you do lie, pick a school that's closed. 9/10 they won't even check. Your resume will get you the interview. It's up to you to finesse your way into being hired.

5. Don't fukk other employees, unless you know they gonna get fired or quit within 6 to 12 months.

6. Always select "2 or more races" if they ask for your race.

7. Don't be lazy and don't feed in to lazy ass people.

8. DON'T GET COMFORTABLE, especially if you hate your job, but at the same time it's an easy job. It's easy to get into a routine and be content. Next thing you know the seasons keep changing, and you're 33 or 34 working at the same job for 7 years in the same position they hired you at. If you haven't moved up within 18 months or less, with no possibility to grow.. leave asap.

9. Don't go to school, just to go. Make sure is something that will lead to an immediate job once complete. RN or some shyt.

10. Avoid service/retail type jobs. Cashier never looks good on a resume.

The first time I did that shyt, I got way more calls for interviews :manny:

I would show up and they would look at me like :usure:

And I would time them my moms is from Morocco and my father is part Irish and part Egyptian :troll:

And since I got a muslim name they would eat it up :manny:


Oh.. and if your parents gave you a fukked up name... legally change it to something else :mjpls:
Your family and friends can call you by your og name, but for job purposes, legally change it.

That's wild but some of it is true

Job titles with any sort of leadership do mean a lot. I remember mid conversation I told someone I used to be a superviosr in previous job.
He looked at me like my eyes suddenly turned green

1. Don't get too comfortable. Anything can happen. Always have a backup plan. Save your money.
2. Keep applying even if you're not really serious about changing jobs. It keeps you confident when u got options and also helps u know what skills your industry is looking for.
3. Listen to everyone more, speak less. There's always game to be learned.
4. Always start off on the right foot. Don't get too comfortable
5. Look the part and act the part. To a stranger, you are the part
6. It's ok to say you don't know but ask questions showing you want to learn or atleast understand
7. Don't get too comfortable

5.

I had more but…

6. on interviews, interview them. It will throw them off, but make them feel :smugbiden: at the same time.

I use to apply for jobs i when I already had one just to go on interviews and practice :manny:


I use to encourage my employees to apply for supervisor jobs when they come open but most of them

1. didn’t want the responsibility
2. didn’t want to be put in a position where they have to supervise people they’re friends with.

Supervisor roles are good except if you have immature subordinates or a crappy manager

Yeah interviewing the company shows that you know what you're looking for and if it's what u like, then you're gonna give it your best

If someone asks about me my company culture, the roles, the workflows, team building, goal metrics etc I know they're not fukking around

This is a very mature professional who knows what he or she has to offer

They want a place to settle down and really thrive without the bs of mediocre companies

I work in Personnel/HR and once you have a certain level of experience there's a formula we use that can make up the lack of a 4 year degree.

the job I used to work at, wouldn’t even hire eternally for management positions if you didn’t have a degree…… or if you TOLD them you didn’t have one.

Work hard, be smart, make friends, play politics, exploit opportunities, and most importantly, always ask for what you want.

Yeah, the higher up the position the more experience you need to have in liue of a degree. At some point it's not possible but as long as you get your foot in the door you're straight.
