    Hiring Question

    Hey guy's I was wondering if you wouldn't mind giving your opinion on my background and if I will be an applicant that is likely to get hired.

    I am 19 and have had two jobs. At 16 I worked at a video store and I had a manager that was horrible to me and everyone else and me and another employee walked out one day.

    My second job was at a grocery store and worked there for a few months, but due to school activities they felt that I wasn't available enough and they let me go.

    I am have now been at my current job for a year and going and I am now attending the University Of Oklahoma getting an associates degree.

    The only thing I have stole my whole life is video game when I was sixteen.

    I have never done any drugs.

    Do you think I will be alright after I get my degree? Working and going to college is hard, but worth it.

    Interesting statement, because life gets a lot harder than college.

    Was there a connection between the video game you stole and the video store you walked out of? A lot of stuff at 16 can be forgiven, but it will be looked at and used in connection with what other people say about you now.

    Otherwise, yeah, you sound fine.
    Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack & Michelle Obama do with mine

    I must have stated that wrong because I wasn't trying to imply that.

    I agree with you.
