Coming to New York City, I remembered one of my previous friend's words: 'If you're coming to NYC,there won't be a problem for you to find a job AT ALL.'
As all people tend to believe everything they would like to believe in, I believed that without checking this information. However, it wasn't that easy at all. Especially for a youngster with no education except High School Diploma and no experience.
I decided to walk down the street and come in in every single place that seemed to be hiring. But every single place asked me the same question: 'How many years of experience do you have?' Neither my strong and passionate willing to work, nor my qualities were enough to get a job.
a job on Craigslist.
- Craigslist? Sasha, you must be kidding me! What can you find there? Some sketchy invitation to massage position?
Sasha though insisted on looking for a job through this website.
- Try to look for an "open call" opportunities, - she said.
The next day I was standing in front of the little cafe-deli-restaurant with a great promising name: Truly Healthy Manhattan Bistro.
I came in and asked about the post I found online.
- Ohh.... You need to talk to the Boss about that.
I got a quick interview, and in about an hour I got signed up for training. How excited I was! Even though this place definitely wasn't the place of my dreams, but it had people coming in and buying. That meant to me only one thing: I can make some money here.
- You just need to finish a week-long training.
