how hard is it to find a job at mcdonalds in NYC?
I have been looking for work almost the entire summer time. i have tried everywhere. supermarkets, m,any resturaunts and alot of corperate places like staples. i havent tried McDonalds yet though. i also have to mention that im 21 with absolutely no work experience and i just completed high school. this sounds bad but in my defence i didnt give up on school. my parents didnt want me to work and school at the same time because they thought i would just drop out. now i have to work because im going off to college. i need to know if its hard to get a job at mcdonalds in queens new york for a 21 year old with no work experience? is it possible to apply to more than 1 mcdonalds how many days should i wait to call back and see how my application is doing? please help me answer these questions…i really need to work…thank you if you read this much!!! :}
Mikey answers:
Congratulations some people give up so it doesn’t matter how old u r.
You can try McDonald’s they are always hiring and yes put in applications to more than one of them because they are not all run by the same company. If you know where the mall is you know where the mall is apply for every store.
Good luck on your job search

Charles asks…
I’m planning to getaway , what do i need?
In my situation , i should run away just to give my self some time alone. Obviously i’m to young to run away and i probably won’t even have enough money to run away some place so that’s why i’m going to wait like a year or two. I just need a plan. Money , of course , transportation , food , etc…
I know i need to get a job , save up about 600 dollars. I could save even more money to buy a car but Thad take forever. I’m trying to be rebellious before i turn 18. i’ll probably just take a friend who has their license or whatever. I live in Maryland and all i need is a place to run away too. Florida? nah, i go their every summer. New York , just went . same with ocean city and Myrtle beach. I guess i can’t go anywhere to extreme… so help me find a place along the east coast that’s perfect to go to?
Ps : I would tell at least my older sister that i’m running away.
Mikey answers:
Well i have the same problem but what you need is some canned food,water,clothes,money,maybe a weapon like brass knuckles or a knife cuz you never know what is going to happen , sleeping bag,fake id,and your best friend (if you trust him). This is what i need for when i go to mexico or vegas.

1. The economy is the worst I’ve ever seen. I know it was worse during the Great Depression, but I never imagined it could get this bad. I have considered moving to a big city to find a job because this job pays so little and I’m having trouble finding a new one. All of my credit card bills are past due, and I can’t seem to pay off my debts. I had to take out a loan against my house in order to pay for my son’s college tuition. I don’t know how I will ever pay it back with my current salary. If I had known before how bad the economy would get, I would have made investments and figured out how to save more money. Now, it seems hopeless.
2. The best spring vacation is traveling to New York City. My mother and I go every year to see the newest fashions and shop for summer clothes. New York is beautiful in the spring because there are so many people in the parks and on the streets enjoying the weather. The street vendors are out selling hot dogs, and there are festivals in the parks. My favorite part about going on vacation in New York is the musicals. This year, my mother lost her job, so we can’t afford to see as many shows at the theater. If I had known earlier, I would have started saving. Anyway, we’ll have lots of fun this year.
3. Technology is developing so quickly. Every day, I’m amazed by the new advances. I can only imagine what it will be like in the future. The computers are already so advanced, but I think that soon all computers will have screens you can touch instead of keyboards. Also, I’m sure that new technology will emerge soon that makes even laptops much more portable. This will be great especially for me because I’m a reporter, and I take my laptop everywhere. If the computer is very tiny and light, it won’t put so much strain on my back. I also think that cars will stop running on gasoline soon. This will greatly reduce carbon emissions and save the planet. If people had known a long time ago what damage cars do to the earth, they would have started developing technology much sooner, I think. I love new technological developments because as a reporter, my life is all about efficiency.
I know it’s kind of heavy, but if you’re fluent it should only take a minute–I would be SO!! thankful. Please? Someone?

La economía es el peor que he visto nunca. Sé que es peor durante la Gran Depresión, pero nunca imaginé que podría llegar este mal. He pensado mudarse a una gran ciudad para encontrar un empleo porque el trabajo paga tan poco y estoy teniendo dificultades para encontrar uno nuevo. Todas mis cuentas de tarjetas de crédito son de mora, y yo mismo no puedo pagar mis deudas. Tuve que tomar un préstamo en contra de mi casa para poder pagar a mi hijo de la matrícula universitaria. No sé cómo voy a pagar cada vez de nuevo con mi sueldo actual. Si hubiera sabido antes de lo grave de la economía recibiría, me han hecho inversiones y cuenta de cómo ahorrar más dinero. Ahora, parece desesperada.
Las mejores vacaciones de primavera es viajar a la ciudad de Nueva York. Mi madre y yo vamos cada año para ver la nueva tienda de modas y ropa para el verano. Nueva York es hermoso en la primavera, porque hay tanta gente en los parques y en las calles disfrutando del clima. Los vendedores ambulantes están vendiendo perros calientes, y hay festivales en los parques. Mi parte favorita de ir de vacaciones en Nueva York es el musical. Este año, mi madre perdió su trabajo, por lo que no podemos permitirnos el lujo de ver como muchos espectáculos en el teatro. Si hubiera sabido antes, me han empezado a ahorrar. En cualquier caso, tendremos mucha diversión este año.
La tecnología se está desarrollando tan rápidamente. Cada día, estoy sorprendido por los nuevos avances. Sólo puedo imaginar cómo será en el futuro. Los ordenadores son ya tan avanzada, pero creo que pronto todos los ordenadores tienen pantallas que se pueden tocar en lugar de teclados. Además, estoy seguro de que las nuevas tecnologías surgirán antes incluso de que hace mucho más portátil portátiles. Esto será muy especial para mí porque soy un reportero, y aprovecho mi ordenador portátil en todo el mundo. Si el equipo es muy pequeño y ligero, que no ponga tanta presión sobre mi espalda. También creo que los coches dejarán de publicarse antes de la gasolina. Esto reducirá considerablemente las emisiones de carbono y salvar el planeta. Si la gente hubiera sabido hace mucho tiempo lo que los coches hacen daño a la tierra, que han comenzado el desarrollo de la tecnología mucho antes, creo. Me encantan los nuevos avances tecnológicos, porque como reportera, mi vida es todo acerca de la eficiencia.

Richard asks…
What should I say to my Rich Brother who calls me lazy because I can’t keep a full time job?
Because I have a problem with depression.
I’m taking whatever medicine my psychiatrist prescribes.
But it only helps solve 40% of the depression problem.
My rich brother became rich because he married a girl from a rich family who works in real estate.
His wife’s family owns buildings (I don’t know how many) in the New York City area.
My ???ambitious??? brother comes into work at 11:30 in the morning and usually leaves early at around 2:30 pm when he has to go to the bank to deposit the money that came in that day from people who rent space or apartments in buildings his wife’s family owns or manages.
And then he goes home for the rest of the day.
During the summer he leaves for his summer vacation home in Upstate New York Thursday afternoon at 3:00 pm
And comes back at 1:00 pm the following Monday afternoon
And for the last 2 weeks of August he goes on a fancy Vacation trip somewhere
In December Christmas time he goes for another 2 week fancy vacation.
I once asked him if he would ever help me financially or help me find a good job and he said No.
My brother doesn’t seem to have the energy to help me. But he has enough energy to criticize me for being depressed.
Mikey answers:
Your brother is not worth wasting your time on-dont rely on him to help you, help yourself. Get a job yourself. Go to a support group/therapist, learn coping mechanisms to deal with the depression. Get a hobby, keep busy.
