OK first some background.
I have a long history so I will sum this up as best as I can.
I moved alot with my parents when I was younger, ok so we still move alot I've moved twice this year alone. Anyways moving around all the time makes it hard to stick with a job for too long. I mostly did pizza delivery and cashier work for department stores, gas stations, useless crap like that. Then I saved up my money for several years and finally opened my own recording studio, the now defunct Mean Green Records.
Ok so I did that for about six months, things were going pretty good I published 2 cd's and was recording 2 albums 1 was a hot R&B singer the other was this rapper who was a lot better than i was and had fans locally where we were. Then the **** wad slept with my sister and so I had to kick his @$$ and lost him to another producer. Then the company goes downhill from there as I proceed to lose money and have to shut down cuz I lost my latest Pizza job due to a car wreck I got in.
I don't think it is a good idea to maybe mention owning a record studio when applying for regular jobs so that doesn't really help much. Then I made the mistake of going cheap with school and earning a worthless diploma from Stratford only to find out letter being unaccredited meant they were worthless. So I started up a little website some of you know about, which has made money in the past but isn't doing to hot right now.
Again I see no relevance in mentioning this on a resume/application so I am again back to having nothing worth mentioning. Then my friends and I started that gamerz jackpot website which shut down right after. Now the only thing I did there was create a bunch of videos nobody watched and created the ugliest and worst designed website in the history of the net. So again not something to put down on a resume. Then I get a job working as manager for another pizza place only to find out they pay their managers less money than what the drivers make delivering so I end up leaving after a week.
In the 25 short years of my life I have currently had over 30 jobs and counting. Now that looks bad on a resume/application so I usually pick and choose which jobs are the most relevant to the position I am applying for, which leaves gaps in my employment record and employers frown upon that.
During all this time I started a comic book with a couple of friends and we managed to publish one issue before finding out it wasn't a good idea to finance a comic book with tips earned at a part time job. So Again I can not put that on a resume either.
So have to write a good resume to get a job and think back on everything I have done, in school I was student council president so at first I think oh I will put that on my resume, only to find out they don't care what you did in HS so it isn't worth mentioning. Then I figure well maybe I will try something new, so I buy a couple of cameras, get some friends together who have money and faith in my crazy schemes and we set out to make a movie. Now my sister was supposed to be writing the script for the movie and her laptop (a piece of crap Windows 95 that has NOT ONE USB PORT) crashes before we can get the script transfered to my PC. Luckily we find a back up copy of the script on her other old computer that she thought was dead and gave to me to do with what I wanted. Turns out it wasn't dead just the power button was disconnected from the mother board so it just didn't turn on. I fixed it up and low and behold there is the last save she did on that computer. Sadly it is quit a few chapters from the ending so we have more work to do on it and now the investors are pulling out.
So I sit here with nothing worth putting on a resume but lots of crazy **** I have done and am at a cross roads. I have been unemployed for months now and with my record, and having nothing worth mentioning on my resume I am stuck. So my question is if you were in my situation (please only serious responses) what would you do.
So here are my options as of right now. I could move to coeur d'alene with my sister and look for work in a new city and hope for a fresh start. I could move to pend oreille and look for work there close to where my grandma lives who might help me out (not holding my breath but I'd love to move back there anyways) or I could try and see if I can convince my parents to shell out some money to get me into a real college and try my luck at earning a degree that is worth more than wallpaper. Then my crazy old dad who I think is going senile suggests the army. Now I am not sure how I feel about joining the military in it's current condition but considering A) I am low on options, B) I already have friends there, and C) with the rate my friends are dieing off I got nothing to lose anyways. Should I just say **** it and join up or see if I can geta fresh start in a new life somewhere else. the only other option I dare not speak of here.
